Rural Belle & Three Heirs

The chatter of a few women caught Chloe's attention. Chloe wasn't one to enjoy being the subject of gossip, but right now, she was particularly curious about what these women had to say about her.

The women grew louder, seemingly wanting Chloe to hear their conversation.

"Of course, Mr. Martin is so handsome. If it weren't for the engagement, would he really bring such an unattractive woman out to embarrass himself?"

"Yeah, at the very least, he should be with someone as beautiful as us."

"We pretty women are like trophies for men. My Brad loves taking me out."

"Mr. Martin must have had no choice but to bring her. It's really pitiful."

They were being so blatant that it would be inappropriate for Chloe to pretend she hadn't heard them.

At that moment, she turned and said to the women, "Hey, old ladies, this is an art exhibit. Please keep your voices down."

The women had been hoping for a reaction from Chloe. Her response gave them the perfect excuse to confront her.

They wanted to take the initiative and drive Chloe, this unattractive woman, away from Grant.

"Hey, ugly girl, who are you calling 'old ladies'? We're all young here. Is it really appropriate?" one woman, her face caked with makeup, snapped at Chloe.

Chloe was puzzled by her reaction. Had she said something wrong?

This woman looked to be in her mid-thirties. Despite the heavy concealer, the wrinkles around her eyes were evident.

Chloe thought she was being respectful by not calling her "auntie."

"Yeah, what's with the way you talk? If you can't speak properly, just don't. Who are you calling 'old ladies'?"

Another woman chimed in, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

Chloe, exasperated, asked, "Then what should I call you?"

"Obviously, you should call us 'beauties'..." One woman quickly took over the conversation, forcing Chloe to call them beauties.

Chloe swallowed hard, not wanting to cause any trouble, and compromisingly said, "Alright, ladies, please keep your voices down. This is an art exhibition, and we need to be quiet so it doesn't affect my appreciation of the artwork."

Chloe's politeness did not appease the women. Instead, they moved closer to her and began mocking her.

"Oh, ugly girl, you actually understand art?"

"With a face like that, shouldn't you be getting some work done instead of coming to an art exhibit? Are you that bored?"

"Hey, don't be so harsh. Just because she's ugly doesn't mean she lacks taste, right?"

"Exactly. That's why she's using her family background and the engagement to cling to Mr. Martin."

"Such a shameless young woman, isn't she?"

Before Chloe stuck the mole on her face, she had already anticipated the kind of strange looks a disfigured appearance would bring her. However, she did not expect that these strangers would use her unattractive face as a basis for personal attacks. Was she clinging to Grant? It was clearly Grant who was clinging to her!

Chloe crossed her arms and shot back at the woman who called her shameless, "Shameless? Really? I'm single, he's single, and we're engaged. What's so shameless about that?

But what about you? Do you have a marriage certificate or an engagement with your big-shot boyfriend?"

Chloe's words made the woman's face turn pale, and her eyes started darting around nervously.

From her reaction, Chloe was sure this woman was some big-shot's mistress.

A mistress daring to insult her? How ridiculous.

The woman snorted, "Your argument doesn't hold. So what if you have an engagement? Mr. Martin is so handsome, and you are ugly. You can't use an engagement to tie him down for life, can you?"

"Yeah, an engagement without love won't be blessed. Ugly girl, you don't deserve to stand next to Mr. Martin." Another woman chimed in, directing her words at Chloe.

Chloe chuckled. "Wow, you know a lot. Did Grant tell you I'm trying to tie him down with the engagement?

And who are you anyway? Do I need your blessing? Mind your own business.

And you say I don't deserve to be with Grant. If you think you do, go ahead and stand next to him. Let's see."

Chloe knew how to get under people's skin. With just a few words, she had these women fuming.

They wanted to stand next to Grant, but someone like Grant would never give them the time of day.

He'd probably kick them away before they even got close.

The women were getting more and more agitated, becoming increasingly unreasonable.

"Yeah, we're not pushovers."

"We're a few years older, so we can give you some advice. Do you have to be so rude and ungrateful?"

"Don't you have elders at home to teach you how to speak?"

Chloe smirked and decided to fight back. If they wanted a confrontation, she was ready to give them one.

She couldn't deal with Grant, but dealing with these women was easy.

Chloe took them down one by one. "Yes, I'm using my good family background to bully you. If you don't like it, bully me back.

And you say you're not pushovers? Well, I'm pushing you. What can you do about it?

You want to give me advice? You're all living off some big-shot, and you have the nerve

to advise me? What, you want to teach me your underhanded tricks?

Furthermore, my elders taught me to speak plainly when addressing people, but to deal with dogs directly with a stick. Are you not properly disciplined, talking nonsense here like this?"noveldrama

Chloe's sharp tongue left the women speechless. They hadn't expected that trying to teach this ugly girl a lesson would backfire so spectacularly.

This girl had quite the mouth on her.

The commotion quickly drew the attention of the men at the exhibit, who were busy socializing.

They hurried over to see what was happening.

Seeing their backup arrive, the women began twisting the truth, badmouthing Chloe.
