Rural Belle & Three Heirs
Chapter 53 Leave You In The Dust

Hearing the female employee, Chloe couldn't help but laugh. Seriously, Sophia claiming she saved Grant? Hadn't she gotten injured while trying to assault him? How did that make her a hero? Sophia was something else always spinning tales to paint herself in a favorable light.

Maybe out of guilt, Sophia didn't notice Chloe's laugh. Another female employee chimed in, "Yeah, everyone knows Miss Brown is doing this for Mr. Martin. He likes you so much; he will definitely marry you in the future; so you're working for your future self."

The female employee's words lifted Sophia's spirit, but Chloe couldn't help but laugh again.

Hearing Chloe laugh again, the two female employees couldn't help but stare at Chloe. Sophia covered her head and glared at her. "Ugly thing, what are you laughing at?"

Being called "ugly" made Chloe uncomfortable. She turned to Sophia and said, "I may be ugly, but at least I don't exaggerate. But someone, who clearly tried to assault Mr. Martin and got kicked away by him, claims that she injured her head while saving Mr. Martin. That's just the epitome of humility."

Chloe's words made the two female employees accompanying Sophia look at each other.

Knowing Grant's character, if Sophia had really injured her head while saving him, with his apathy for his employees, he would have ignored his work and left Sophia unattended.

But now, with Sophia's head slightly bleeding, he hadn't appeared. That indicated that what this ugly girl said had some credibility.

Worried that Chloe's words might affect her, Sophia blushed and immediately denied it. "Ugly thing, stop talking nonsense. I injured my head while saving Mr. Martin. If you keep talking crap, I'll sue you for defamation." Sophia's guilty conscience made her voice louder.

Chloe crossed her arms and smiled. "Fine, sue me. I'll be waiting for the summons. By the way, Mr. Martin's adding security on the 26th floor tomorrow, so you won't get into his office alone anymore. And if you want to be the lady of the Martin Family, Sophia, have some self-esteem. Rich families can't stand women who don't value themselves."

As the elevator reached the first floor, Chloe stepped out confidently amid Sophia's stammered accusations, leaving her speechless with rage.

The two female employees with Sophia began to suspect Chloe's identity. They'd heard rumors that Louis had arranged for an unattractive girl to choose a husband from the three young Martin men. Could Chloe be the one? "Miss Brown, is this girl the one from the rumors..."

Facing the female employees' curious inquiries, Sophia lost her patience. "Don't be ridiculous! She's just an uneducated, rude, and ugly girl," Sophia snapped.

Feeling dejected, Chloe left the Martin Group office building. She was about to call Philip about Grant's refusal to help when Zara called, reminding her Zara was arriving in Sovereign City today.

As soon as Chloe answered, Zara's sharp voice came through. "Chloe, you heartless girl! You promised to pick me up at the airport. Where are you?"

Chloe hurriedly replied, "I'm on my way. Are you still at the airport?"

"No, my aunt sent a car for me. If you're free, let's meet up," Zara retorted.

Since her spirits were decidedly in the gutter today, Chloe could use a lift, and she readily agreed. "Sure, come to the Martin Mansion for lunch."

Chloe, currently at the Martin Mansion, decided it was the perfect spot to meet Zara, given the new chefs' culinary skills.

After hanging up, she took a cab back to the mansion and called ahead, requesting extra dishes for her guest. The staff, recognizing Chloe as the future mistress, promptly complied and quickly informed the three heirs of her plans. Grant replied: [Follow her instructions. Don't slack off.]

Michael asked: [She's having a guest? Who is it? A guy or a girl?]

Liam responded: [I'm too busy to care, but I'm curious. That ugly girl has friends?]

Liam had been preoccupied lately, working hard to get the Facebook account of his motorcycle racing idol, whom he finally tracked down. Excited, he sent her a friend request.

Her Facebook name was unique: Leave You In The Dust.

Trying to contain his excitement, Liam messaged her: [Hi, I'm Liam. I once saw you race and was blown away. Would you like to be friends?]

Just as Chloe stepped out of the cab, she received Liam's message on her secret account.
