Chapter 259 You Can Marry Him Home

Giselle's furious outburst made Chloe feel a sense of satisfaction.

With a disdainful smile, Chloe thought that people who don't respect others deserve a taste of their own medicine. As for the whole "respect your elders" thing, where was that respect when Giselle tried to frame her with that letter of intent?

"Elder? You're Grant's elder, I have no problem with that."

"But if you claim to be my elder, I completely disagree. My last name is Davis. I asked my grandfather, and we traced our Davis family lineage back eight generations. We don't have any relatives named Rodriguez."

Chloe's words made Giselle clutch her chest in anger. "You... oh, my heart hurts."

Giselle thought that since Chloe had upset her to the point of heart discomfort, she would stop and let her scold her a bit. But Chloe didn't back down an inch.

With a sidelong glance at the clearly feigning Giselle, Chloe said, "Ms. Rodriguez, if your heart is really that bad, you should take care of it. Why come here to blame me?"

"You sure have guts. Don't forget, I'm Grant's aunt. You haven't even married him yet, and you dare talk back to me like this. Aren't you afraid I might stop you from marrying into the Martin family?" Giselle tried to threaten Chloe with the marriage.

Little did she know, before coming to Sovereign City, Chloe had repeatedly pestered Nicholas to break off the engagement. Even though she and Grant were getting closer, she still resented the engagement.

Threatening her with the engagement was completely ineffective.

Chloe snorted, "Ms. Rodriguez, you'd better make sure I don't marry into the Martin family, if you have that kind of power."

"And let me be clear, I don't care about marrying into the Martin family. If it comes to that, I can always have Grant marry into the Davis family."

"With the Davis family's resources, it's not like we can't afford it. We could just offer the Martin Family more benefits."

After saying this, Chloe ignored Giselle's complex expression and turned to leave. She needed to get some water for Grant to wash his face.
