Chapter 179 I Want to Punish You

One of the guys in the group spoke up, looking puzzled. "Stanley, we just ticked off that ugly girl, not Mr. Martin. Why would he stick up for her?"

"Yeah, and we even apologized last night. When we asked Mr. Martin to smooth things over, he didn't seem to have any issues." Another man chimed in. "Stanley, you think Mr. Martin's got a thing for that girl?"

The group's confusion matched Stanley's own.

As an assistant, he couldn't wrap his head around why someone like Grant, who had both looks and talent, would be interested in Chloe, who they thought was plain.

Even though the Davis Family was pretty powerful, that didn't seem like a good enough reason for Grant to get involved, right?

Stanley shot a sideways glance at the boss who had called Chloe ugly, reminding him, "Mr. Smith, watch your mouth. That girl is the sole heir of the Davis Group..."

The group fell silent.

It looked like they were going to have to grovel and apologize to Chloe until Grant was satisfied and their contract could continue.

Meanwhile, Chloe and Grant, after finishing their spa session, were heading back to their luxury hotel in Oceancrest City.

Just as they stepped out of the spa, a handsome young man blocked their path.

The young man, Bruno Franklin, greeted Chloe with a respectful bow. "Hi, Miss Davis. I'm Bruno Franklin, from the Franklin family. Herman is my grandfather."

Chloe's eyes lit up when she saw Bruno. "Oh? You're Grandpa Franklin's grandson? I remember meeting you when we were kids, right?"

Bruno nodded eagerly. "Yes, Miss Davis. I visited your home with my grandfather when I was little."

"Yeah, I remember. We played games together. You used to cry a lot, didn't you?"
