Rural Belle & Three Heirs

After arriving at the guesthouse, Zara and Rena unpacked their things.

Meanwhile, Chloe organized the drawings she had made that day. Once she was done, she suggested they all go out for some barbecue.

As soon as they opened the door to the guesthouse, they were confronted by a tough- looking girl, flanked by a few others around her age, standing right at the entrance.

Seeing Chloe, Zara, and Rena step out, the group immediately surrounded them.

"Which one of you is the tramp messing with Mic?" the tough girl demanded, repeatedly referring to "Mic," leaving Chloe, Zara, and Rena bewildered.

This girl seemed to have a close connection with Michael.

"Who are you?" Chloe asked cautiously, trying to gauge the situation.

The tough girl put her hands on her hips, striking a combative pose. "I'm the admin of Mic's fan club. We're all his fans," she declared fiercely.

"We heard that one of you three is claiming to be Mic's fiancée and is trying to influence Mic's career. On behalf of Mic's fans, I'm here to tell you that we don't accept this. Any behavior that threatens Mic's career, we will stop."

Chloe, Zara, and Rena exchanged glances, realizing they were in trouble.

The tough girl pointed a finger at them. "Which one of you is Mic's fiancée?"

Rena, usually reserved, immediately shrank back. She raised her hand timidly. "Not me. I'm just Mic's assistant... He pays me for my work."

"Then it must be you," the girl said, pointing at Chloe.

Chloe wasn't about to get dragged into this mess. She was here on vacation, not to get into a fight with Michael's fans. Besides, her engagement was with the Martin Family brothers, not just Michael. She could easily dodge this responsibility.

Putting on a meek expression, she raised her hand. "How could it be me? Mic is so handsome. Why would he be interested in someone as plain as me?"

The tough girl glanced at the mole on Chloe's face and dismissed her as a suspect. Since it wasn't Rena or Chloe, it had to be Zara.

So, the tough girl turned to Zara and began lecturing her. "Don't think just because you have an engagement with Mic, you can cling to him. Mic belongs to all of us. He won't get married. We won't let Mic marry you. Mic and Karlie are the real couple. This town doesn't welcome you. Get out."

Zara was speechless, looking at Rena and Chloe. These two were really throwing her under the bus.

Wasn't Chloe the one engaged to the Martin Family? And wasn't it Rena who, after a few drinks last night, insisted on competing with her for Michael? Now they was denying everything?

Zara had no choice but to step up. If she had any real connection with Michael, it wouldn't be so bad. But even after last night's drinks, Michael hadn't touched her. Taking the blame was a real loss.

"Oh... Fans, I think there's been a misunderstanding. Michael and I are just friends..." Zara tried to explain. "I'm not his fiancée. We just had a few drinks last night. Believe me, I have no interest in him..."

The more Zara tried to explain, the more tangled her words became. Michael's fans started closing in on her, ready to fight.

Chloe realized this was bad. They were on the fans' turf, and if things got violent, they wouldn't stand a chance. Plus, if this got online, Grant would definitely see it and come drag her back.

It was better to keep a low profile.

Thinking quickly, Chloe grabbed Rena and Zara and ran.

Seeing them flee, the tough girl shouted, "Chase them!"

Just as Chloe was running for her life, she crashed into a solid chest.

Looking up to apologize, she found herself staring into Grant's sly, amused eyes.

A cold sweat broke out on Chloe's back. "Grantie... What are you doing here?"

Chloe quickly greeted Grant, who wrapped an arm around her waist, smirking. "The world is big. I wanted to see it."

Chloe was speechless.

As Michael's fans were about to catch up, Grant scooped Chloe up and shoved her into a luxury car.

With the car door shut, the fans were left outside.

Chloe was safe, but she couldn't abandon Zara and Rena.

"Grantie... My friends, I can't leave them here," Chloe pleaded.noveldrama

Grant didn't even glance at her. He coldly instructed the driver to start the car, then turned to Chloe.

He said with a mischievous smile on his face. "Everyone should handle their own problems. I don't like meddling."

The car sped away.

Chloe anxiously watched out the window. Moments later, two more luxury cars arrived, and people she couldn't identify took Rena and Zara away.

Seeing this, Chloe grew even more worried. "Grantie, someone took them. We came here together. I can't just ignore their safety."

"Stop the car. Let me see who took them. I need to make sure they're safe."

Grant frowned at Chloe's concern. She was quite loyal to her friends.

She had snuck out, making him worry all night. He needed to settle that first.
