Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Moira had made it clear, and Chloe felt it would be rude to refuse.

After a moment's thought, she agreed.

"Alright, send me the address for the dinner party. I'll go home, change into a dress, and join you."

"Great, I'll be waiting for you."

Moira sent Chloe the address, and Chloe returned to Grant's villa. She picked out a light blue short dress from her wardrobe, applied light makeup, and got ready to leave.

Before heading out, she thought for a moment and decided to stick a fake mole on her face, which she had bought online.

She was beautiful, and the fake mole helped her avoid unnecessary attention, especially from those who were not worth her time.

The driver took her to the party location. Worried that Grant might look for her when he got home, she sent him a message.

[Grantie, Moira invited me to a dinner party with some young people. I'll come home as soon as it's over. Be good and wait for me, okay?]

After sending the message, Chloe stepped into the banquet hall.

Seeing her arrival, Moira quickly came to greet her.

"Chloe, you made it!"

"Yeah, Moira."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Moira led Chloe around the hall.

Moira complained to Chloe, "Chloe, you have no idea how much I hate these parties. But my dad insists they're great for networking and good for the business."

"And I'm still single. I have no interest in finding a partner, but my dad says there are plenty of eligible bachelors here and insists I come."

"Seriously, do I have to get married just because I'm a great catch? My dad is so annoying."

As they walked and talked, Chloe realized that Moira was here to find a potential partner.

It was a good thing she had put on that fake mole before leaving. She wouldn't want

to interfere with Moira's matchmaking efforts.

Chloe didn't socialize much and was unfamiliar with the elite of Sovereign City. Fortunately, Moira knew them well and introduced Chloe to everyone.

At that moment, Vesper approached Chloe with a glass of wine. She had seen Chloe's

photo from Anissa and immediately recognized her as Grant's fiancée.

Chloe's mole was quite distinctive.

Chloe didn't know Vesper but smiled politely at her.

"Chloe, let me introduce you. This is Ms. Blackwood, Vesper Blackwood of the Blackwood Group in Sovereign City. Ms. Blackwood graduated from a university abroad. She's not only beautiful but also highly knowledgeable."

"Since returning to the country, she's gradually taken over some of the Blackwood Group's operations and has been very successful. Ms. Blackwood is a true powerhouse."

Moira's high praise for Vesper made Chloe admire her.

She appreciated women who prioritized their careers.

"Ms. Blackwood, you're amazing."

Vesper didn't seem impressed by Chloe's compliment. She glanced coldly at Chloe and asked Moira, "Miss Thorne, who is she?"

"She is..."

Chloe didn't want to reveal her identity in such a setting. Her grandfather had always advised her to stay low-key.

Sovereign City wasn't the Davis Family's territory, and she was just a guest at this party. There was no need to steal the spotlight.

She quickly interrupted Moira and introduced herself modestly.

"Ms. Blackwood, I'm Chloe. I'm currently a student at Quest University. Moira invited me to this party."

"Ms. Blackwood, you're an inspiration to us all."

Chloe's words made Vesper smirk.

She responded with a hint of sarcasm, "Oh, still a student? Haha, you're in the carefree stage of life. Unlike us, who have to work hard and earn a living after graduation."

Chloe sensed the underlying hostility in Vesper's words.

But she had no reason to antagonize Vesper.

"Haha..." Chloe chuckled lightly.noveldrama

"Miss Davis, from your accent, you don't seem to be from Sovereign City, right?" Vesper asked.

Chloe nodded, "Yes, I'm not from Sovereign City. My hometown is in the Northwest." "Oh? The Northwest? I've been there. The environment is terrible, especially in winter when the wind kicks up sand everywhere. Some friends joked that people from there are turned rustic by the sand."

Vesper's words were outright disrespectful, calling Chloe rustic.

If her previous comments were meant to show superiority, this was a blatant insult. Chloe's smile froze.

She retorted, "Ms. Blackwood, that's not right. Every place has its unique beauty. Even with the sand, the Northwest has its charm."

"The Northwest isn't just sand; it has vast grasslands. Several famous singers and actors come from there and are known as the flowers of the grasslands."

"For you to use the term rustic, it seems your taste might be lacking. You haven't appreciated the beauty of the Northwest."

Chloe's sharp words implied that Vesper had poor taste, which instantly angered Vesper.

Moira noticed the tension and hurried to smooth things over.

"Oh, come on, you two. Sovereign City has its beauty, and the Northwest has its own. Let's not argue about this and ruin the mood."

"Let's have a toast."

Moira tried to ease the situation, but Vesper shot Chloe a cold look and walked away, refusing to clink glasses with Moira.

After Vesper left, Moira looked at Chloe apologetically.

"Sorry, Chloe. I didn't mean for you to be treated like that. Vesper must be in a bad

mood today. She's usually not like this."

Chloe didn't want Moira to feel bad. "It's okay, Moira. I don't mind."

"Alright, let's go chat with some other friends."

Moira led Chloe to another part of the hall, where they found Moira's friend Thaddeus Hawthorne. The three of them started chatting enthusiastically.

Moira casually asked, "Thaddeus, do you know why Vesper seemed so off today?"
