Chapter 230 Thanking the Two Grandfathers

Chloe had originally planned to stand her ground against Grant, but his words softened her resolve.

The two grandfathers, being of such advanced age, have already worried themselves sick over the matters of their grandchildren's relationships. Now that they've finally seen a bit of progress in Chloe and Grant's relationship, if the servants were to spread any rumors, who knows how much more anxiety it would cause the elderly gentlemen? Thinking of this, Chloe decided not to continue her hard stance against Grant.

She sat in the passenger seat next to Grant.

Grant, the esteemed CEO of the Martin Group, ran around like a chauffeur to open the car door for her.

Chloe fastened her seatbelt and said to Grant, "I'm not forgiving you. I'm only getting in your car for the sake of our grandfathers."

Grant nodded in agreement.

As he started the car, he said, "Thank you to our grandfathers for giving me this opportunity."

He was being cheeky, and Chloe couldn't help but glance at him.

"You're so annoying." Chloe grumbled, but their interaction was already better than before.

Grant began explaining what had happened the previous day.

"Yesterday, because of the cooperation agreement, I went with Isidora to find one of our employees. That employee lives in the slum where you had your incident."

"At the time, Isidora was in my car, but Chloe, you have to believe me, we're just colleagues and friends."

Grant rambled on, trying to explain. He hadn't done anything wrong, but seeing Chloe upset made him want to clear his name.
