Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 299 Slap Her

Hearing this, Odette let out a long sigh of relief.

"I told you," she said with a hint of triumph, "my information comes straight from the source. No mistakes here." Her eyes sparkled as if guarding some monumental secret, the unspoken implication lingering like fog over water.

"That wretched Isidora," her knuckles whitened against the tabletop, "parades around as Grant's ex like some deranged peacock. Does she truly believe her past misdeeds are buried?" The rhythmic tapping of her fingernails punctuated each syllable, a staccato of barely-contained rage.

A dangerous edge crept into her voice. "Next time that viper spreads lies, I'll personally deliver the slap that echoes through three city blocks." The teacup rattled in its saucer as she leaned forward, fury crystallizing in the set of her jaw.

Zara's internal radar pinged. Always eager to protect Chloe, Zara didn't want to miss this opportunity. She pulled Odette and went to a tearoom next door.

The three of them went into a teahouse next door, and Zara was unusually attentive. She poured tea and served water with practiced ease, as if paving the way for her curiosity. "Odette, tell us all about it-what really happened between Isidora and Grant?" she asked eagerly, her eyes brimming with anticipation.

Odette, a straightforward woman, didn't hold back after sipping Zara's tea. She recounted everything from their college days.

She said that back in college, Grant was the most handsome and reserved guy on campus.

Isidora, on the other hand, was the most beautiful girl. Coming from a well-off family, she didn't take her studies seriously and often flirted with other guys on campus.
