Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Just as the two were lost in their passionate kiss, a loud knock on the suite door startled them.

Grant looked up, puzzled, and asked Chloe, "Who could that be?"

Chloe, blushing, replied, "I don't know, maybe it's room service."

Hearing Chloe mention room service, Grant adjusted his robe and went to open the door.

To his surprise, as soon as he opened it, Anissa stormed in with Giselle and Isidora, looking like they were catching someone in the act.

Seeing Anissa and Giselle, Grant greeted them, "Mom, Giselle, what are you doing here?"

Anissa shot Grant a disdainful look and snapped, "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known how this woman was seducing you."

Chloe, who was busy preparing oatmeal for Grant, heard Anissa's voice and stepped out of the small kitchen, only to see the three uninvited guests standing there.

Anissa's disdain grew even more evident when she saw Chloe in her loose robe. Because she had just woken up early in the morning, Chloe had not had time to put the mole on her face, Anissa was momentarily taken aback by Chloe's fresh face, which bore a striking resemblance to Adelaide's. This resemblance only fueled Anissa's anger. Chloe instinctively greeted Anissa, "Anissa."

But Anissa rudely cut her off, "Don't call me Anissa. I don't know a girl as shame as you."

"I haven't even agreed to you marrying into the Martin Family, and here you are, already seducing Grant into bed."

"You've got some nerve. I never thought the Davis Family would raise a girl like this." Anissa, who already had a poor impression of Chloe, unleashed her full fury, dragging the Davis Family into her tirade.

Chloe could tolerate Anissa's insults and bullying because she saw Anissa as an elder. But what right did Anissa have to insult the Davis Family?noveldrama

Did she deserve respect? Did she act like an elder?

What kind of elder constantly meddles in the younger generation's relationships?

Chloe couldn't take it anymore. She disregarded Anissa's status and said, "Mrs. Martin, please watch your tone."

"I respect you as an elder of the Martin Family, which is why I've been patient. But you can't insult me like this."

"Grant and I are both adults. It's natural for us to have some intimate moments while dating. What do you mean by saying I seducing Grant into bed?"

"Who drugged Grant last night? Don't you know? If I hadn't shown up in time and brought him here, what do you think would have happened to your son?"

"Mrs. Martin, you can look down on me, and if you have a problem, take it up with me. What right do you have to insult the Davis Family?"

This was the first time Chloe had stood up to Anissa. Hearing Chloe's words, Giselle couldn't stand it anymore.

She said to Anissa, "Anissa, look at this girl. Isn't she out of control? She hasn't even married into the Martin Family yet, and she dares to talk to you like this? If she marries into the Martin Family, you won't even have a chance to retort."

"I told you before that this damn girl was out of control, but you didn't believe me. Now you should believe it." After Giselle finished, she gave Isidora a look.

Isidora immediately started criticizing Chloe. "Chloe, Anissa is an elder. What's wrong with her saying a few words to you? How can you be so disrespectful and make Anissa angry?"

Chloe glared at Isidora and snapped, "I suggest you shut your mouth. If you want a slap, just step forward."

Chloe's fierce demeanor scared Isidora, who covered her face and retreated behind Giselle.

Last night, Chloe had learned from Harry that it was Isidora who had drugged Grant. She had wanted to slap her then, but Isidora had run away quickly.

She hadn't expected Isidora to show up again this morning, asking for trouble.

If she didn't teach her a lesson, Isidora would think Chloe was easy to bully.

"Alright, stop arguing. Mom, Giselle, go home. This is between Chloe and me. We'll

handle it ourselves." Grant firmly stood by Chloe's side, not wanting Anissa to interfere in their relationship.

But to Anissa, Grant's words were a challenge to her authority as his mother.

With a swift motion, she slapped Grant hard across the face.

Seeing Grant get slapped, Chloe's heart ached.

Then Anissa yelled at Grant, "Grant, how dare you talk to me like that."

"I'm your mother. I decide who you marry. I'm telling you, if you want to marry this woman, you need my approval."

Grant, holding his face, looked at Anissa with disbelief.

This marked the first time Grant had ever been struck-and by Anissa of all people. In his mind, she'd always been the epitome of indifference, the type to avoid drama at all costs. Clutching his stinging cheek, he couldn't comprehend why simply honoring the family pact by courting Chloe warranted such violent opposition. Grant couldn't understand why she was so opposed to his relationship with Chloe.

He looked at Anissa, suppressing his anger, and said, "Mom, you've hit me. Isn't that enough? Can we handle our own relationship? I want to marry Chloe, and no one can stop me."

Giselle, who had worked at the Martin Group for a long time, could see that Grant was trying hard to control his anger.

To prevent the situation from escalating beyond repair, Giselle said to Anissa, "Anissa, maybe we should leave."

But Anissa had no intention of leaving.

The mother and son stood their ground, neither willing to back down, while Isidora watched with a meaningful smile.

Chaos was what she wanted. Only in chaos would she have a chance to win over Grant and become part of the Martin Family. That way, she and her daughter Kathy would have a secure future.

The tension in the room was palpable.

At that moment, Harry, who was on his way to see Grant and Chloe, heard the commotion from outside the room.

Realizing that Anissa had shown up, Floyd sent a message to Michael: [Michael, help!

Anissa is here, and Grant can't handle it.]

Shortly after Harry sent the message, Anissa received a call.

It was from Michael.

On the phone, Michael urgently said, "Mom, where are you? Come to the hospital

quickly. I got hurt on set... it's serious..."
