Rural Belle & Three Heirs
Chapter 10 Go Back to Your Hometown

With Chloe in his arms and her sultry voice in his ears, Grant's mind went blank. Despite the temptation, he knew he had to keep it together.

Grant muttered a curse under his breath and carried a dazed Chloe to the bathroom. There, he swiftly grabbed the showerhead, turned on the cold water, and drenched her. The shock snapped her back to reality, cooling her down instantly. The scene of her losing control replayed in her mind like a bad movie.

As Chloe regained consciousness, Grant set down the showerhead and gently reminded her, "You were drugged. Luckily, I arrived just in time, or else..."

He quickly turned away, not wanting Chloe to see him looking so disheveled.

"This is Sovereign City, not the Northwest. You need to be more careful. It's not good for a girl to be so unaware of self-protection."

Grant hinted at Chloe's carelessness. Upon discovering her dress cut, she should have realized someone was targeting her and stayed vigilant.

"Thanks for saving me," Chloe said after a moment of reflection.

Hearing her gratitude, Grant couldn't help but see Chloe in a new light. It wasn't easy to get a thank you from her.

He put on a brotherly demeanor and said, "No need to thank me. Next time we spar, please avoid hitting my face. I'll arrange for a new dress to be brought to you. I'll have Mia come over to take care of you. Hurry up, don't miss the party." With that, Grant left the room.

Soon, Mia brought a new dress, and after Chloe quickly tidied up her appearance, she headed to the party.

When the elites of Sovereign City learned that the girl with a birthmark and mole was chosen for the Martin Family's three brothers, they all sympathized with them.

Which of the Martin sons lacked charm and good looks?

The eldest, Grant, after studying abroad, returned to take over the Martin Family's business. In just two years, he expanded the business nationwide. He was also known for his clean lifestyle, a true rich guy. Michael and Liam, although still in college, had already shown extraordinary abilities.

Michael, passionate about the arts, had become a heartthrob for many young girls after starring in a few films, even before graduating. It was said that girls who liked him lined up all the way to other countries.

Liam, though a bit playful, had no other faults. It was said that he had already started several antique companies at a young age. The Martin Family elders indulged him in his hobbies.

In short, everyone there couldn't wrap their heads around why Bobby would let his three prized grandsons be chosen by a girl who wasn't exactly a looker.

"See her? That's the Davis Family's young lady. How can she be so ugly?"

"Exactly! She's so ugly, it's scary. I really don't get how she gets to pick from the three heirs."

"If you ask me, with her looks, she wouldn't even make a good servant. She'd ruin my appetite."

The room buzzed with these harsh comments as Chloe, wearing the new dress Grant had arranged, gracefully made her entrance.

The unfriendly remarks reached Chloe's ears, making her eyes darken slightly.

Charles Green, the Martin family's butler, introduced her to the guests. Chloe, holding her wine glass, followed him through the crowd in the elegant gown Grant had chosen. The dress, more conservative yet flattering, cinched at the waist to perfectly showcase her slim figure.

Liam, holding a wine glass, stood not far away, watching Chloe. He couldn't help but remark, "I have to admit, the ugly girl has a nice figure."

Eric, standing next to Liam, teased, "Liam, are you interested?"

Hearing Eric's comment, Liam immediately got defensive.

"How could I be interested in that ugly girl? Just looking at her makes me sick. You must be into her. Your whole family must be into her." Liam said this and hurriedly left with his wine glass.

Eric, looking innocent, watched Liam's retreating figure and muttered, "Did I say something wrong? Can't Liam even take a joke?" After Charles introduced Chloe to the guests, she had a good idea of who was who.

Some continued to comment on her appearance, while others, upon hearing the Davis Family from the northwest, wisely kept their mouths shut. The Martin Family was out of their league.

And the Davis Family was not someone they could afford to offend.

Though Chloe was unattractive, she was born into the right family. Being a Davis was her biggest advantage.

After the socializing, Chloe's eyes kept scanning the crowd. She had to find out who had set her up tonight. Soon, she spotted Liam in the crowd.

Being new to Sovereign City and unfamiliar with many people, she could only imagine Liam as someone who might seek revenge against her. So, she had to confront Liam and ask if he was the one who drugged her.

Holding her wine glass, she approached Liam, but his men immediately blocked her path.

"Ugly girl, stay away from Liam. We don't care who you are. With your looks, Liam would never give you a second glance."

"If you have any self-awareness, pack your things and go back to where you came from."
