Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Usually, it was Zara who gossiped about her life, but now that Chloe had some juicy gossip about Zara, there was no way she was going to let her off the hook so easily.

Linking arms with Zara, Chloe began her interrogation. "Zara, come on, spill the beans. What's going on with you and Liam? When did you two start hooking up?"

Zara was visibly annoyed by Chloe's question.

She retorted, "Chloe, don't talk nonsense. Liam is single, and so am I. How could we be 'hooking up'? We're just... a bit closer than usual."

As Zara said this, her face flushed slightly. Despite being half a year older than Liam, every time they were together, Liam always treated her like a child.

"Oh, really?" Chloe elongated her voice, teasing Zara deliberately.

Zara couldn't help but feel embarrassed. She raised her hand and gently pushed Chloe, "Chloe, you're so annoying."

Chloe chuckled, obviously not intending to let Zara off the hook so easily. "Alright, I'm annoying. Now, tell me, when did things start between you and Liam?"

Chloe's relentless questioning, filled with curiosity, clearly meant she wasn't going to let Zara brush it off.

Zara's face turned even redder, and she stammered, "There's nothing between us... We're just..."

Before she could finish, Chloe's gaze became sharper. "Just what? What exactly is the relationship between you two?"

"Don't explain, Zara. The more you explain, the more it sounds like you're hiding something. You used to say you were afraid Liam would get mad at you over some goddess thing, and now you've secretly won him over?" Chloe's bold words left Zara defenseless.

"Chloe, stop making things up. I haven't won him over."

"So, how far have you two gone?" Chloe was curious.

Zara looked down and said, "We've hugged and kissed..."

"Oh wow, you've kissed! How was it?" Chloe's curiosity made Zara, who had little experience with men, feel overwhelmed.

After chatting for a bit, Zara turned the tables on Chloe. "Chloe, you've asked me so much. Now it's my turn. How far have you and Grant gone?"

"You told me you two have slept in the same bed. I don't believe nothing happened between you two."

Zara's question was about whether Chloe and Grant had ever had sex.

Chloe's face turned as red as an apple. Last night, Grant had stripped her completely, and she thought something would definitely happen between them.

But at the crucial moment, Grant restrained himself.

He used another way to give Chloe an unprecedentedly pleasurable experience.

Zara pressed her for details, and Chloe didn't know how to respond. Finally, she leaned in and whispered in Zara's ear, "Last night, he used his mouth..."

Zara was stunned. Her mouth dropped open as if she had just opened Pandora's box. "What? He did that? Mr. Martin really knows how to play, huh?"

"You two are so dirty..." Zara's words made Chloe blush again.

After teasing each other for a bit, they got back to work.

this was the nature of a close friendship: you could help each other, share each other's secrets, and never worry that those secrets would be revealed to the world and known by everyone.

Since it was an elective day, Chloe didn't go to Quest University. Instead, she handled some company matters with the employees at Summit Media Solutions.

Around 3 PM, Chloe received a Facebook message from Liam.

[Come to Grant's office. It's time to clear your name.]

Without wasting a moment, Chloe hailed a cab and headed straight to Grant's company.

The taxi stopped at the parking lot entrance of the Martin Group. Sophia, who was in charge of registering customer vehicles, saw Chloe get out of the car and smiled broadly.

She handed her work over to a colleague and walked straight over to Chloe.

Sophia had a strong mentality. Even though she was now working in the parking lot, she hadn't given up.

On the contrary, she was more determined than ever to continue down her self- destructive path.

She spoke to Chloe, "What are you doing back at the Martin Group? After stealing the company's proposal, you still have the nerve to show up?"

Chloe paid the fare and turned to look at Sophia.

Faced with Sophia's provocation, Chloe naturally chose to fight back. "Oh? Sophia, I didn't know you were like a crab."

Sophia had no idea what Chloe meant. She was clearly mocking Chloe, so why was Chloe saying something so strange?

Seeing Sophia's confused face, Chloe explained, "Don't you get it? I mean, you're just a parking lot employee, and now you're meddling in company proposals? If you're not a crab, what are you? Only crabs walk sideways and meddle in everything..."noveldrama

Chloe's sarcasm made Sophia's chest heave with anger. It seemed the parking lot meals were pretty good because Sophia looked like she'd gained some weight.

As she breathed heavily, her chest seemed ready to burst out.

After a brief moment of contemplation, she seemed to understand Chloe's meaning. Pointing at Chloe, she said indignantly, "You... called me a crab?"

Chloe sneered and rolled her eyes. This idiot was beyond help.

If she didn't explain, Sophia wouldn't even realize she was being insulted.

Not wanting to argue with a parking lot employee, Chloe pushed past Sophia's bulky

frame and headed to the Martin Group's office building.

Sophia, feeling wronged, was indignant.

But she was no match for Chloe.

So, she resorted to bringing up Isidora to provoke Chloe.

She shouted, "Chloe, you ugly woman, don't get too cocky. Do you think just because you're engaged to Mr. Martin, you'll become Mrs. Martin? No way."

"Isidora is Mr. Martin's first love. The woman he loves has always been Isidora..."

"In the past, when Isidora wasn't around, Mr. Martin treated you like a plaything. Now

that Isidora is back, you should just roll away from Mr. Martin."

Sophia crossed her arms, looking smug. Hearing this, Chloe's steps faltered.

She didn't want to argue with someone like Sophia, but hearing that Grant's first love was Isidora made her heart ache.

Didn't Grant say Isidora was just a classmate?

Now Sophia was saying Isidora was his first love?

Seeing Chloe pause, Sophia became even more smug. She stood behind Chloe and continued to shout...
