Chapter 193 He Only Wants a Grandson-in-law

"What are we competing on?" Grant asked, leaning in.

Chloe smirked, "Business."

"How do we compete?"

"We each start a small company. In six months, we'll see whose company is more profitable. If your company makes more money than mine, then you are the winner," Chloe explained. "And then, I'll agree to date you."

"But if you lose to me, you're out, and the engagement between the Martin Family and the Davis Family is off."

Chloe's declaration left everyone in the room stunned. Even Louis, who was sitting at the head of the table, felt a bit nervous.

He realized that she was trying to break off the engagement between the Martin Family and the Davis Family.

How could that be allowed?

The scene fell into a brief silence, the tension in the air almost palpable. It was only after a long pause that Grant finally broke the silence with his steady, confident voice: "No problem, I accept your challenge."

As these words settled, a cunning yet radiant smile appeared on Chloe's face. She was fully confident that Grant's business acumen was no match for hers, feeling assured of her victory.

Michael and Liam watched from the sidelines, unsure of how they should feel about the impending changes.

Louis, however, pulled Grant aside and began to warn him. "Grant, have you lost your mind? How could you agree to cancel the engagement with Chloe?

The marriage between the Martin Family and the Davis Family was arranged by elders. All you need to do is put in a little effort to win Chloe over, and everything will fall into place.

What are you thinking with this competition? What if you lose? Our family will lose more than just an engagement."
