Rural Belle & Three Heirs

With this idea, Isidora began persuading Anissa. "Anissa, you don't have much going on at home. Why not come with me to the launch event for 'Sixty-Six Letters'?"

Anissa wasn't the type to chase clout - as the queen bee of high society, she expected the scene to come to her. That was just how the blue-blooded game was played.

Anissa shook her head. "I'm not going. Those events aren't really my thing."

Hearing this, Isidora pouted a bit but quickly changed her approach, her expression shifting like a chameleon. "Anissa, I get it. With your status, a press conference for the entertainment industry might seem a bit beneath you."

Anissa couldn't help but feel a bit flattered.

"But Anissa, you must come with me today. The production team sent me an invitation, and it wouldn't look good if I didn't show up." Isidora continued, "I'm just an orphan with no connections in Sovereign City. You're the closest person I have. I need you there to back me up so no one messes with me.

Besides, Anissa, you're stunning. If you show up, you'll definitely outshine all the celebrities. Please, come with me."

She laid it on thick, flattering Anissa endlessly.

After listening to Isidora's plea, Anissa finally nodded. She fetched her makeup and began to get ready. She had a talent for maintaining her youthful appearance, using a set of rare cosmetics to care for her skin.

Noticing she was running low on her makeup, she sent a message to her client

manager: [I'm out of my skincare set. If you have any in stock, please send me another set...]

Her client manager didn't reply, but Anissa didn't mind. She quickly finished getting ready and headed to the press conference with Isidora.

Because "Sixty-Six Letters" had a significant investment, the press conference was quite grand. As one of the investors, Chloe, with her distinctive mole, caused quite a stir when she appeared.

Meanwhile, Isidora mingled with the crowd, constantly boasting about her close relationship with Grant during their school days.

To make her story more believable, Isidora pointed to Anissa, who was seated in the VIP section, and whispered to some people.

"See that lady? That's Grant's mom, Anissa. She really likes me..."

"I'm still staying at her house. If it weren't for the arranged marriage between the Davis Family and the Martin Family, I might have married Grant by now."

"But it's okay. I'm not greedy. Just being close to Grant makes me happy."

"Arranged marriages are such a drag..."

Isidora kept talking, spinning her tale and convincing those around her.

Soon, everyone at the launch event was convinced by Isidora's story. They were dead set on blaming Chloe-convinced she'd swooped in to wreck Isidora and Grant's college sweetheart vibe, then twisted the knife with some arranged marriage bullshit. They thought Chloe invested a large sum in this film just to find a reasonable excuse for her interference.

Chloe and Zara, standing at a distance, naturally heard Isidora's words.

Zara felt indignant on Chloe's behalf. "Chloe, look at Isidora, spreading lies again. How can she claim she had a school romance with Grant? She will stop at nothing to achieve her goals."

Chloe smiled, unbothered. Isidora knew today was the launch event for "Sixty-Six Letters," and she was confident Chloe wouldn't confront her over this, so she acted fearlessly.

Seeing Chloe still smiling, Zara scolded, "You just keep smiling... People are bullying you, and you can still smile?"

"What else can I do?"

"Slap her!" Zara was genuinely angered by Isidora.

Chloe shrugged, "Let her spread rumors. The script will clarify everything. Not only is she a character in the story, but so is Grant. The screenwriter even interviewed Grant.

And some of their college friends won't let Isidora's lies stand.Even if she lies, it doesn't matter. It just brings more attention to 'Sixty-Six Letters.' In the end, I'll still make money..."

Chloe's reasoning left Zara speechless.

Following Chloe around, Zara kept talking. Chloe suddenly realized that ever since Zara became the general manager of her new company, she had been acting like she was in charge.

Because Chloe was the investor in this film, Tony, who hadn't shown up in a while, came to support her.noveldrama

Tony brought a large bouquet of flowers and handed them to Chloe. "Chloe, you've invested in a new project. I wish you great success with this film."

Tony's words made Chloe feel quite pleased.

She accepted the flowers, smiled at Tony, and said, "Thank you. Let's shake hands..."

They shook hands and hugged, laughing and joking around.

From a distance, Anissa saw Chloe and Tony hugging, her face darkening like a storm cloud.

She always thought Chloe was no good. Despite her young age, she was as seductive

as Adelaide, unable to resist throwing herself at men...

She couldn't understand how such a girl, with no qualities other than a good family background, managed to have her son, who she saw as a paragon, wrapped around her finger.

Anissa couldn't figure it out.

Unconsciously, she glared in Chloe's direction with a venomous look.

Zara was the first to notice Anissa's intense gaze from the VIP section.

As soon as she met Anissa's eyes, Zara quietly reminded Chloe, "Hey, Chloe, Grant's

mom is watching you... Maybe you should go say hello?"

Chloe turned to look and indeed saw Anissa's extremely displeased expression.

At this moment, if she went to greet Anissa, it would be asking for trouble.

She was the investor in this film and had an important speech to give once the launch event officially started. There was no need to let a greeting with Anissa ruin her mood.
