Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 186 The Franklin Family Has a Problem

Chloe pressed her ear against the door, straining to catch any sounds from outside.

From Grant's room, she heard a muffled voice. "Who is it?"

Chloe recognized it as Grant's voice.

"Mr. Martin, I've brought you some tea," a sweet female voice replied, which was unfamiliar and did not belong to any the women in the Franklin family.

Chloe stood on her tiptoes, cautiously peeking through the peephole in the door. At the hallway, she saw a scantily-clad woman standing outside Grant's room. The woman was tall and strikingly beautiful, with an air of allure that seemed almost deliberate in the dim light, the pitcher of water she held glinting as if to accentuate her appeal.

Her movements were exceedingly seductive, as though every gesture conveyed some hidden suggestion. Even through the thick door, Chloe could almost smell the provocative perfume wafting towards her, laden with teasing intent.

'This woman definitely has no good intentions,' Chloe muttered to herself, her eyes reflecting a mix of disdain and vigilance.

At that moment, the sound from Grant's room resurfaced, laced with impatience yet underscored by a stubborn firmness: "It's late. I don't need any tea. Please leave."

However, the woman persisted. "Mr. Martin, you've had a long day. How about a massage to help you relax?"

Chloe expected Grant to yell at the woman, but to her surprise, the moment he heard the word "massage," he flung open his door.

Seeing Grant in his robe, Chloe fumed silently.

"He says he doesn't need tea when she brings it, acting all virtuous. But the moment she mentions a massage, he opens the door in a flash," Chloe muttered to herself, she couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

She wanted to storm out and give Grant a piece of her mind.

Just then, Grant spoke again.
