Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 100 Does she like Liam?

What did Liam mean by that? Chloe squainted her eyes.

She rushed to catch up with Liam and asked, "Where are you headed?"

Liam didn't even look back. He grabbed his motorcycle helmet and said, "I'm going to teach Hugh a lesson. He

dares to bully you, so he's just asking for trouble.."

With that, Liam took off on his bike. Watching him ride away, Chloe felt like she understood Liam a bit better for

the first time.

Honestly, Liam was actually pretty kind. She used to think he was just a slacker who only cared about his

motorcycle, but now she saw there was more to him. There was an admirable strength, a compelling loyalty that

she hadn't noticed before.

Chloe looked at Liam's back with admiration, and at that moment, Grant, who had just cdownstairs after

taking a shower, happened to see this scene. Suddenly, he had a bad feeling.

Chloe had been working so hard to set him up with Moira. Did that mean she didn't like him? Could she be into

Liam? They were close in age, went to and from school together every day, and even had lunch together. It

wasn't impossible for feelings to develop.

But Liam had always been critical of Chloe's looks, acting like he wasn't interested in her. But now...

The usually confident Grant felt a pang of insecurity.

That night, Chloe, unable to sleep, held her phone and texted Zara: [Zara, you free? Wanna chat?]

Zara replied: [I'm here, what's up?]

Chloe texted: [This arranged marriage thing is getting more complicated. Grant toldtonight that it's a done

deal. I'm so annoyed; | don't want an arranged marriage.] Seeing her friend so upset, Zara, the ultimate bestie,

couldn't help but offer advice: [Chloe, nothing is set in stone. What's a done deal? If you don't want an arranged

marriage, then fight it. | think your previous strategy was pretty good. Find a partner for each of them. That way,

the marriage can't be arranged.]

Zara's suggestion got Chloe thinking again. She had promised Karlie to set her up with Michael, and tonight, she

thought Moira and Grant were a good match. Liam and Zara were also hitting it off. If she could match these

three pairs, then she wouldn't have to worry about herself, right?

Times had changed. Even if her grandfather wanted to arrange a marriage with the Martin Family, he couldn't

force the heirs to marry her, right?

Honestly, this plan seemed pretty solid.

Seeing Chloe's silence, Zara sent another suggestion: [Chloe, throw a party and invite all the wealthy ladies who

are interested in the three heirs. With so many options, one of them is bound to catch their eye.]

Reading Zara's message, Chloe immediately had an idea. She snapped her fingers and decided to go with Zara's

plan.

The next day, Grant drove Chloe to school, and on the way, she turned to him, her expression serious. "Grantie, |

want to talk to you about something," she said.

"What is it?" Grant asked, keeping his eyes on the road.

Chloe took a deep breath. "I've been at Quest University for a few months now, and | want to invite some

classmates and friends over to the house. Would that be okay with you?"

Grant's mind immediately went to Philip. If Chloe invited her classmates, would Philip be one of them?

"What kind of classmates?" he asked, trying to sound casual.

"Just sgirls. They all like me, and | want to get closer to them. If you don't agree, then forget it." Chloe's

tactic of playing hard to get was in full swing.

She really wanted to invite her classmates over, and if Grant said no, she could use it as an excuse to pack up

and go back home. Not even being able to invite friends over was just too much.

To her surprise, Grant agreed right away. "Sure. It's good to have more friends. If you need anything, make a list

for the housekeeper. There's also an outdoor barbecue in the backyard, so you can take your classmates there to

grill."

Grant had no idea that Chloe was planning to use this gathering to set he and his brothers up with potential

partners.

Chloe reassured her, "Karlie, I'll call Mic later and ask him to chearly tomorrow night. Make sure you

Karlie quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll be there on time. Thanks for the invite, Chloe."

Of course, Chloe also invited a few of her female friends from school, including her bestie Zara.

After school, Rena ran into Chloe on campus.

She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of everyone, so she politely declined Chloe's invitation. "Chloe, |

won't be able to make it to your gathering on Sunday."

Hearing that Rena wouldn't come, Chloe felt a pang of disappointment. Rena was the first female friend she

made at Quest University.

She held Rena's hand and asked, "Rena, why not?"
