Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Hearing Liam's words, Anissa shot him a cold look.

"There's no real love in wealthy families," she snapped.

Her words sent a wave of unease through both Michael and Liam.

What did she mean by that? Plenty of marriages in high society were filled with genuine affection. So why did Anissa make it sound like love didn't exist in these marriages?

Michael and Liam couldn't understand why Anissa was so against the marriage between the Martin Family and the Davis Family.

The Martin Family and the Davis Family were both elite households, and with Grant and Chloe sharing a great connection, this marriage was exactly the kind of union everyone wanted to see

Anissa's opposition seemed completely unreasonable.

"Mom... what are you..." Michael began weakly. He had no idea how things had gone wrong.

"I am your mother. I went through hell to bring you into this world. Your marriages are mine to decide," Anissa declared.

"If I say you marry someone, you marry them. And as for Mic's partner, that gay, they should break up immediately."

Anissa finished, glaring at her sons before heading upstairs.

In front of her sons, she had clearly asserted her authority as their mother.

Giselle followed Anissa upstairs, giving her a secret thumbs-up. She exclaimed, "Anissa, you were amazing this time."

"These boys from the Martin Family need to be put in their place. You're their mother. If you can't even control their marriages, what's the point?"

"And Quentin, you need to keep him in line. You were right to hit him this time. If it were me, I would have done worse. How dare he slap you in front of everyone?" "Isidora just texted me and said the injury on his head is nothing serious-just five stitches. It's a small thing, really."

"Considering you gave him three wonderful sons, he should treat you like a queen. But now, he always sides with his father. That old man should have died long ago. If he were gone, you'd have control over the Martin group..."

Five stitches? A small thing? In Giselle's eyes, Quentin would have to be dead for it to be considered a good thing.noveldrama

And Giselle wanted Anissa to take over the Martin group? She seemed to forget that Louis had worked his whole life to build the Martin group to its current size. With Anissa's capabilities and knowledge, thinking she could take over was a pipe dream. Giselle's own unhappy marriage made her determined to ruin Anissa's as well.

Over the years, if it weren't for her constant meddling, Quentin and Anissa's marriage wouldn't have reached this point. And Anissa, under Giselle's daily interference, had started to lose herself a bit.

She seemed to have forgotten that her initial goal in marrying into the Martin Family was to escape poverty.

As Anissa left, the commotion in the house gradually died down.

Grant, who had gotten out of the car, hadn't gone inside. The family relationship was too oppressive for him.

Leaning against the car, Grant lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

As night fell, due to Sophia's instigation, the online attacks on Chloe grew more intense.

A crowd even gathered at the hospital entrance, demanding to drag Chloe, the so- called murderer, to the police.

Fortunately, both the Martin Family and the Davis Family had sent bodyguards, preventing the crowd from breaking in.

The hospital, considering Chloe's fragile condition, moved her and Kathy to a special care room upstairs.

And Adelaide stayed by Chloe and Kathy's side.

Kathy clung to Adelaide, trembling with fear from the outside commotion.

Being so young, she couldn't understand why Chloe, who had risked her life to save her, was now being called a murderer.

Seeing Kathy so scared, Chloe felt a pang of guilt.

Some people lack any moral integrity and won't hesitate to exploit their children for attention or personal gain, but the Davis Family would never resort to such tactics.

Seeing Kathy shivering, Chloe suggested to Adelaide, "Auntie, Kathy is really scared. It's getting late. Why don't you take her to the inner room to rest?"

"Good idea. This poor child hasn't seen her parents all day and can't reach her mom.

It's heartbreaking," Adelaide said, genuinely fond of Kathy.

The hospital had arranged a special care room for Chloe, which included a well- furnished inner room.

Adelaide took Kathy inside to rest.

Just as they went in, Chloe heard a commotion outside with the bodyguards.

She got up to check what was happening.

To her surprise, Sophia, who had been missing for a day and a night, had shown up.

Sophia didn't know Kathy had been moved and was resting in Chloe's special care

room.

Instead of worrying about Kathy, she accused Chloe through the bodyguards.

"Chloe, you have the nerve to switch rooms? The police will be here soon to arrest you. You, a murderer, deserve to rot in jail."

Sophia's words made Chloe laugh coldly.

Sophia spent the day stirring up online, rallying netizens to cyberbully Chloe. Chloe

was wrongfully framed, and even if she denied the accusations, with no solid evidence

to back her up, the internet mob might not believe her.

But if the police declared her innocent, it would be more convincing.

Chloe didn't want to engage with Sophia. She simply said, "Fine. If I'm guilty, I'll rot in

jail."

"But if I'm innocent and you're framing me, I'll make sure you pay for it." she stared directly at Sophia.

She had never despised anyone as much as she despised Sophia. This woman wasn't just bad; she was inherently evil.

Sophia would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.

After speaking, Chloe turned to go back to her room. At that moment, several police officers arrived in front of Sophia.

Seeing the stern officers, Sophia felt a surge of confidence.

She excitedly told the police, "Officers, you're here to arrest the murderer, right?"

"Chloe, your time is up. You tried to kill my niece, and now you'll pay." she shouted, "Officers, take her away and lock her up... hurry..."
