Chapter 222 She Became a Thief

Hearing Chloe's speculation, Grant quickly denied it. "Chloe, you're overthinking this. Everyone at Martin Group knows about the engagement between the Martin and Davis families. Plus, during that video conference, I made it clear I already have a fiancée. Why would Giselle think otherwise? I think she just wanted to repay Isidora for saving her life by helping her get a job."

Chloe wasn't buying Grant's explanation. It wasn't that she didn't trust him, but she doubted Giselle's intentions. She also didn't believe that Isidora, the new secretary, would be trouble-free.

They were trying to extend their influence into Martin Group.

"Alright, I get it, Grantie. Look into this thoroughly." Chloe bit her lower lip and said firmly. "Of course, I won't slack off. They won't frame me that easily."

In truth, she was clueless and didn't know how to clear her name.

Seeing Chloe's troubled expression, Grant held her hand and said seriously, "Chloe, I'll always be on your side. Please trust me and don't let others sway you. Give me some time, and we'll work through this together."

Looking at the sincere Grant, Chloe couldn't blame him anymore. In the Martin Family, he was her only ally. If she fell out with Grant, it would be even harder to clear her

name.

With Grant's company, Chloe slept peacefully that night.

When facing different situations, she must be adept at adopting various strategies and responses. Chloe had always been reluctant to get involved in the Martin Family's affairs. But since some people insisted on dragging her into it, they shouldn't blame her for complicating things further.

The next day, Chloe woke up feeling refreshed after a good night's sleep.

After having breakfast with Grant, they headed to Quest University together. As per their usual routine, Grant dropped her off at the university entrance before leaving. Just as Chloe was getting out of the car, Grant called out to her again. "Chloe, trust me..."
