Chapter 268 The Explosion of Hormones

Mia glanced nervously upstairs as she spoke.

Grant was furious. He looked at Chloe's belongings scattered on the floor and said to Mia, "Gather Miss Davis's things and put them in my room."

With that, Grant headed upstairs.

Grant's steps were swift and resolute, as if fueled by an anger he could no longer contain. He charged straight toward Chloe's room, each stride intensifying the storm of worry and unease brewing in his chest. Bursting through the door, he was met with a scene that lit the fuse of his fury-there stood Giselle, directing Isidora and a handful of servants as they yanked Chloe's bedsheets off with a roughness that felt almost personal. The sight was the final straw, and Grant's temper erupted like a volcano. "What the hell are you doing? Who told you to touch Chloe's stuff?" Grant shouted at Giselle and Isidora.

He snatched the bedsheets from Chloe's bed and put them back, then ordered the maids and Isidora to leave immediately.

Grant was usually easygoing, and the Martin Family's staff had never seen him this angry. They quickly left the room.

Isidora stood next to Giselle, looking at Grant with an innocent, two-faced expression.

Giselle visibly jumped at Grant's sudden outburst, her face turning pale as a sheet. Her right hand flew to her chest in a reflex gesture, her breath quickening as she tried to steady herself. "Grantie, what on earth is wrong with you? You scared me!"

Grant stared directly into Giselle's eyes and said, "Giselle, is the finance department not busy enough lately? You seem to have too much free time."

Despite his dissatisfaction with Giselle, Grant's upbringing made him maintain a basic level of respect for her.

Giselle replied, "Grantie, I'm your aunt. Do you think I want to help you clean? Your mom called me, saying she'd be back in Sovereign City soon and asked me to tidy up the house."

Giselle spoke with confidence.
