Rural Belle & Three Heirs

"Hey, lately things have been pretty tense between you three brothers and your mom. You can't let her get all worked up over something so small."

"Just take Ms. Blackwood home, okay?"

Giselle's advice helped calm Grant down. He grabbed his car keys and, clearly annoyed, said to Vesper, "Ms. Blackwood, let's go."

Vesper, always composed and tactful, noticed Grant's reluctance. "Mr. Martin, if it's a hassle, I can get home on my own."

She was playing hard to get.

Grant jumped at the chance. "Alright, if it's a hassle, you can go ahead."

Vesper's expression changed instantly. Was Grant really that dense?

She turned to Anissa, who quickly chimed in, "Grant, Ms. Blackwood is just being polite. Can't you see that?"

"Listen to your mom and take Ms. Blackwood home."

Grant didn't argue. He grabbed his car keys and headed out.

Giselle and Anissa stayed with Vesper, their attitude clearly showed they wanted to win her favor.

Vesper was the only daughter of the Blackwood Family, a significant player in

Sovereign City. While not quite as powerful as the Davis Family, Vesper's gentle nature made her easy to manage. Anissa was eager to find such a compliant wife for her son.

Anissa said to Vesper, "Ms. Blackwood, don't mind him. Our Grant is just a bit standoffish. It's not that he doesn't like you; it takes time for him to warm up."

"You young folks should spend more time together. Relationships grow gradually." Anissa's encouragement made the somewhat naive Vesper nod repeatedly. Soon, Vesper was seated in Grant's car.

Grant drove off, taking Vesper away.

Watching Grant's car leave the Martin Family mansion, Anissa and Giselle both breathed a sigh of relief.

Anissa worriedly said to Giselle, "I don't think Grant likes her very much..."

Giselle reassured Anissa, "It doesn't matter if Grant doesn't like her. You like her, don't you? Look how gentle Ms. Blackwood is, much easier to handle than Isidora."

"I'm just worried that Chloe has a hold on Grant's heart. I'm afraid he won't fall for Ms. Blackwood," Anissa sighed.

Giselle comforted her again, "Anissa, don't worry. Ms. Blackwood may seem simple, but how many of those wealthy young ladies are truly simple?"

"As long as she plays her cards right, I believe she can win him over."

"Relationships develop over time. I trust Ms. Blackwood's abilities. Besides, even if Grant doesn't like her, using her to irritate Chloe and curb her arrogance is also good." Giselle's words made Anissa nod in agreement.

They chatted about other things, and Anissa brought up Isidora.

"What's going on with Isidora? Last time, I just said a few words to her, and she left. She hasn't come back for days. Is she angry?"

Anissa spoke casually.

She made her cold remarks and slaps towards Isidora sound so trivial, as if being Mrs. Martin gave her the right to trouble anyone.

Giselle smiled and reassured her, "Anissa, she wouldn't be mad. Isidora's a simple girl. How could she be upset with you?"

"I've been with you these past few days and haven't had a chance to check on her. I'll give her a call tomorrow, see what's up, and ask her to come back soon to help out."

"Alright."

They continued chatting as they walked back to the Martin Family mansion.

In Grant's car, Vesper kept trying to strike up a conversation.

"Mr. Martin, Giselle mentioned you've been pretty busy lately?"

Grant replied while driving, "Yeah, a bit."

"Oh, with the Martin Family's business being so big, it's understandable," Vesper said, but Grant didn't respond.

The car was silent for a while.

Vesper initially thought Grant didn't want to talk to her, but then remembered Anissa saying Grant was just aloof. She tried to find more topics.

After all, a man like Grant, with his status, power, and good looks, being a bit aloof was normal.

If she could win him over, it would be quite an achievement.

"Mr. Martin, you seem tired. I'm on vacation for the next two days. How about we go

play golf together?" Vesper suggested enthusiastically.

Grant didn't even look at her and declined, "Sorry, I don't have time."noveldrama

"So busy?" Vesper asked, not ready to give up.

Grant replied, "Yeah, I need to spend time with my girlfriend..."

Hearing this, Vesper felt a surge of jealousy.

She knew about Grant and Chloe. Anissa had told her about them when she invited her

over.

So, Vesper didn't take it to heart.

She forced a smile and said to Grant, "But Giselle doesn't seem to approve of you and your girlfriend."

Grant's expression turned sour upon hearing this.

He glanced at Vesper and said directly, "She will bless us."

Vesper wanted to say more, but Grant's gaze became so sharp that she wisely shut her mouth.

A few minutes later, Grant's car stopped outside the Blackwood Family's gate. When Vesper got out, Grant didn't say a word to her.

Vesper felt quite disappointed.

She was a socialite from the Blackwood Family. How could Grant treat her like this?

To close the distance between them, Vesper lowered her pride and spoke to Grant through the car window.

"Mr. Martin, we had a good chat. How about adding each other on Facebook?"

Vesper thought that with her lowered stance, Grant wouldn't refuse her. Unexpectedly, Grant turned and coldly said, "Sorry, I have a girlfriend. I don't add other girls on Facebook."

With that, Grant stepped on the gas, and the car sped away.

Vesper stood there, feeling extremely awkward.

She was a socialite from the Blackwood Family, the sole heir to the Blackwood Group, wealthy and beautiful, with countless suitors. How could Grant not see her worth?

The feeling of defeat was unbearable for Vesper.

She clenched her fists and thought to herself, "I will win Grant over."
