Rural Belle & Three Heirs

"No way..." Chloe completely ignored Anissa. "Did you see how she looked at me? She wants to eat me alive. Going over there now would be asking for trouble. If she wants to glare at me, let her."

Technically, Anissa was Grant's mother. If Anissa didn't have such a strong animosity towards her, Chloe would have been willing to greet her.

But now...

After saying this, Chloe pulled Zara along to the lounge. She still had to prepare her speech as an investor, and she should get ready.

After Chloe left, Isidora sidled up to Anissa and started stirring the pot. "Anissa, Chloe is so rude. How can she act like this? You're Grant's mother, her elder. She should at least come over and greet you, right? What does she mean by this? Clearly, she doesn't respect you."

Isidora's words hit the sore spot for Anissa, making her face even darker.

Typical hypocrite too stuck-up to engage, but still expecting everyone to kiss your ass?

Anissa snorted, "hloe is so ill-mannered. I can't understand why Louis insisted on making her marry into the Martin family."

She had quite a few grievances against Louis. Over the years, Quentin hadn't paid much attention to the Martin Group's business, preferring to indulge in a hedonistic lifestyle.

But Louis had a tight grip on the Martin family's business. Every time Anissa tried to get involved, Louis shut her down.

It wasn't until Grant graduated from college that Louis handed over the business to him.

No one could understand the grievances Anissa had endured in the Martin family over the years.

Seeing Anissa angry, Isidora felt a surge of joy. She whispered to Anissa, "Anissa, I'll find a chance to teach Chloe a lesson later. She needs to learn how to treat her elders properly."

Anissa was pleased with Isidora's eagerness to please her. As an elder, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to have a big confrontation with Chloe.

Having Isidora handle it was perfect.

Anissa tacitly approved of Isidora's plan, and soon Isidora went to find Claudia.

From Claudia, she obtained the schedule for the press conference. When she saw Chloe's speech slot, Isidora's blood boiled. 'Why her? Just because she's the investor? That spotlight-stealing troll doesn't deserve this.'

'Fine. If Chloe wants the spotlight so bad, let's make sure she burns in it. By the time I'm done, the whole city will be laughing at her and let's see if the Martins still want a walking embarrassment as their golden girl.'

With this in mind, Isidora began to act.

By 9 AM, all the actors and media were in place.

The host took the stage and briefly introduced the story behind "Sixty-Six Letters."

As the investor about to give a speech, Chloe was guided to the stage entrance by the staff.

It was her first time at such a formal event, and with so many media reporters present, Chloe was a bit nervous. She kept going over her speech, afraid of making any mistakes.

After all, Anissa was in the audience. If she didn't perform well, who knew what Anissa would think of her.noveldrama

Chloe was so focused on her speech that she didn't notice her surroundings.

At that moment, Isidora approached. As the person the story was based on, she was supposed to have an exchange with the actors on stage. She sidled up to Chloe without making a sound.

Chloe thought she was looking for trouble again and ignored her.

Unexpectedly, when Chloe was not paying attention, she used her body to bump Chloe and make her stagger. And the speech draft tightly held in Chloe's hand also fell to the ground with a snap as Chloe staggered.

Chloe straightened up and bent down to pick up her speech.

Unexpectedly, Isidora stepped on it first.

Then, she quickly bent down and, with a ripping sound, tore Chloe's speech in half.

Looking at the speech, Isidora smiled. Without the speech, she wanted to see how Chloe would embarrass herself on stage.

Chloe's anger flared as she looked at the torn speech in Isidora's hand.

She didn't want to cause a scene at such an important moment, but Isidora was determined to provoke her. She couldn't avoid it.

"Isidora, you did that on purpose, didn't you?" Chloe's face turned cold as she questioned Isidora.

Feigning innocence, Isidora said, "No, Chloe, you misunderstood me. I really didn't...

I just accidentally bumped into you, and your speech fell. I didn't mean to.

It's my fault you don't have your speech for the stage. I'm sorry. If you're really mad, you can hit me to vent your anger."

As she spoke, Isidora leaned her face towards Chloe.

Below the stage, several media outlets had their cameras rolling, capturing everything.

The argument between the two had already drawn a lot of attention.

If Chloe slaps Isidora in front of everyone? Game over, no amount of explanation would clear her name.

Isidora smiled smugly, confident that Chloe wouldn't dare confront her now.

Chloe glared at her. Despite her anger, she had to let it go.

At that moment, the host announced, "Please welcome our investor for 'Sixty-Six

Letters,' Miss Davis, to give her speech..."

All eyes and cameras turned to Chloe.

Chloe had to compose herself, lift her gown, and walk onto the stage with a warm smile.

Isidora, holding the torn speech, smirked.

She wanted Chloe to embarrass herself. She wanted to see how Chloe would handle this without her speech.

In front of so many media people, Chloe's reputation would surely take a hit.

Isidora's face showed a satisfied smile.

On stage, Chloe was a bit nervous. She held the microphone and looked out at the audience...
