Rural Belle & Three Heirs
Chapter 58 I Want to Break Up with You

Chloe was just about to ask him how to stop this from happening again, but out of nowhere, Nicholas hung up the phone in a hurry. A few minutes later, the three Martin Family heirs, who hadn't even made it home yet, got a scolding from Louis in the family group chat.

Louis texted: [What are you three doing? I told you to keep an eye on Chloe, and you let her get pushed around! Did you see those videos? That stick hit her a small, tender girl, getting smacked! What good are you three jokers? Make it right for Chloe or don't blame me for flipping out on you.]

As usual, Louis vanished right after giving them a piece of his mind. The three grandsons replied, feeling a bit speechless.

Grant: [Grandpa, I know, it's my fault. I didn't protect Chloe well. I've already put pressure on Beckett.]

Michael: [Grandpa, I was wrong too. I've been busy filming and didn't have time to protect her. This won't happen again.]

Liam: [Grandpa, I promise you, from now on, I'll keep a close eye on her at school.]

Louis grinned at his grandsons' obedient replies, took screenshots, and sent them to Nicholas with a note: [Nicholas, are you satisfied with this arrangement?]

When Grant got back to the Martin Mansion, Chloe had already retreated to her room. She had taken a few hits for Rena earlier in the day and was a bit banged up.

But Chloe was no stranger to minor injuries, thanks to her love for extreme sports. She took a quick shower, grabbed some ointment, and started applying it to her back in front of the mirror.

Angus had hit hard. The two hits almost broke Chloe's skin. Thinking about how many hits Rena might have taken made Chloe very angry. But at least the incident would probably end with satisfaction on their side by morning.

Zara, Philip, Rena, Tony, and Chloe formed a small group to discuss it. Just as Chloe was about to speak in the group chat, she heard a soft knock on the door. Thinking she imagined it, she continued the discussion on her phone. Soon, Grant's voice came from outside the door. "Chloe, are you asleep?"

Hearing Grant's voice, Chloe's expression changed slightly, and a look of displeasure appeared on her face.

Today's incident with Rena getting beaten was all Grant's fault. If he had been willing to help, would Rena and she have been beaten?

Chloe didn't want to deal with Grant. She pulled the thin blanket over her head and said towards the door, "I'm asleep."

Sensing her anger, Grant knocked a few more times, then left when there was no response.

Chloe hid under the blanket, muttering to herself, "What kind of person is this? Drinks my porridge but won't help me with a small favor. From now on, even if you have a stomachache, it has nothing to do with me. If I take you to the hospital again, I'll be a monkey's uncle. Grant, I've decided to end our friendship!"

With all these grievances against Grant swirling in her mind, Chloe barely managed to fall asleep.

Early the next morning, when she went downstairs for breakfast, she was surprised to see the three Martin Family heirs, who usually didn't gather together, all sitting neatly at the dining table. Seeing Chloe come down, Michael was the first to greet her. "Chloe, you're up?"

Chloe nodded. "Yeah, I'm up."

Michael apologized, "Chloe, I'm sorry. I've been busy filming recently and didn't know you were being bullied at school. I'll go to school later and have a good talk with Beckett about your bullying."

Seeing Michael's sincere face, Chloe shook her head and refused. "No worries. You've probably seen it online; we've got it covered. My classmate Rena just hit me up, saying the school called her to enroll today. They'll sort out the other stuff when we get there."

After saying that, Chloe picked up a sandwich from the table and started eating.

Liam tentatively spoke to her, "I don't have any classes today. How about I go to your class with you?"

Chloe swallowed her food and asked him, "Do you want to change your major?"

Liam shook his head. "No, I want to protect you. I'll go to your class today and tell those who want to bully you that you're under my protection. From now on, anyone who dares to bully you is my enemy." Liam was very confident in his influence at school. However, Chloe didn't appreciate his gesture at all.

Chloe sneered and said, "Thank you, Liam, for your kind thoughts. Protect me? No need. If you don't arrange for people to bully me, I'll be very grateful."

Chloe's words made Liam's face twist with annoyance as he glanced at Grant's seat, speechless. He had belittled Chloe and set Lucy to bully her, and now he wanted to protect her? Too late!

Grant watched as Chloe finished her sandwich and milk, then grabbed her backpack, ready for school.

"You guys take your time eating. I'm leaving," Chloe said as she got up and left.

Michael hurriedly stopped her and asked, "How are you going? Aren't you taking our car?"

"Yeah? Ugly girl, you won't take my car and leave me behind, will you?" Liam hurried to grab his backpack. He didn't want to drive a farm truck to school. If that happened, his reputation would be ruined. "Don't worry, I'm not that petty. I'm not taking your car to school today. My classmate is picking me up," Chloe said quickly before leaving.

The three young brothers had different thoughts.

Michael muttered, "Her classmate is picking her up? Male or female?"
