Rural Belle & Three Heirs

No wonder Rena was scared. With Anissa's face as cold as ice, who wouldn't be freaked out?

Chloe didn't want to butt heads with Anissa, but she could tell Anissa wasn't going to let her off easy. Since Anissa was itching for a fight, Chloe had no choice but to stand her ground.

Chloe gently patted Rena's hand. "It's okay, don't worry."

In a flash, Anissa was right in front of Chloe. She'd already heard some nasty stuff from Isidora, who was a pro at stirring up trouble.

Seeing Chloe, Anissa snapped, "I knew it. All my son's problems are because of you. If it weren't for you, my son wouldn't have so many issues to deal with."

Anissa didn't waste any time and immediately blamed Chloe for today's mess.

After several previous run-ins, Chloe was tired of explaining herself to Anissa. To Anissa, any explanation from Chloe was just an excuse.

So, Chloe didn't bother anymore.

She smiled, "Your son wants it this way. There's nothing I can do."

Anissa's face turned red with anger. She didn't think much of Chloe, but she couldn't change the fact that Grant liked her. As a mother, she felt helpless.

"Chloe, Anissa is an elder. How can you talk to her like that?" Isidora scolded Chloe, trying to look like the reasonable one in front of Anissa.

But Chloe gave a cold smile. "How should I talk to an elder? Like you, kissing up to people?"

"Sorry, my family didn't teach me that. They taught me to be kind to those who are kind to me. If someone disrespects me, I will definitely push back." Chloe finished speaking and fearlessly looked at Anissa. Her meaning was clear: if Anissa continued to be rude, Chloe would respond in kind.

Anissa glared at Chloe and said, "You'll ruin my son sooner or later..."

With that, she turned to find Grant, who was talking to the police. When Grant saw Anissa, he frowned.

Why was Anissa here? It must be Isidora stirring up trouble again.

"Mom, why are you here?" he asked.

Anissa questioned. "I heard you got into a fight. I came to see what happened. Grantie, you're an adult now. Why are you still getting into fights?"

Grant was annoyed, but since Anissa was his mother, he sighed, "Mom, I can handle my own stuff. You should go home."

"Take Mrs. Martin home." Grant called the driver who had brought Anissa and gave instructions.

Anissa didn't expect Grant to be so ungrateful. She said to him, "Grantie, you..." "Mom, I'm over twenty years old. I can handle my own affairs. Please go home and take care of yourself." Grant signaled the driver to take Anissa away.

Isidora, who had gone to great lengths to bring Anissa here, wasn't about to let her leave without achieving her goal.

She couldn't help but say to Grant, "Grantie, Anissa is doing this for your own good. You should appreciate her concern.

She's your mother. Of course, she's worried when you are in trouble... You should understand a mother's feelings."

Isidora's two-faced words made Grant very unhappy. Why did it seem like Isidora was getting more and more involved?

Who did she think she was, trying to interfere in his relationship with his mother?

"Shut up. This has nothing to do with you. Take my mom home." Grant scolded Isidora with authority, scaring her into silence.

With the driver's persuasion, Anissa had no choice but to leave. She had only taken a few steps when she saw Michael hurrying over. When he saw Anissa, he immediately greeted her.

"Mom..." Michael called out, but Anissa didn't even look at him and walked away.

It seemed Anissa was still angry about Michael's involvement in a same-sex relationship.

Seeing Anissa's attitude, Michael didn't insist. He went to Chloe and Rena, and after making sure Rena was unharmed, he finally relaxed.noveldrama

When he learned from Grant and the police that the conflict started because Daryl had touched Rena's face, Michael was furious.

Rena was his woman, and Daryl dared to touch her face?

It seemed Grant breaking one of his arms was too lenient.

Michael approached Daryl, who was clutching his broken arm and waiting for an ambulance.

Michael grabbed him and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the hospital..."

Daryl thought he had met a good Samaritan and turned to thank Michael.

But Michael grabbed his unbroken arm and twisted it with a crack, breaking it too.

Daryl's screams echoed through the hallway.

The employees of Evergreen Mall, who had been watching, were shocked to see their idol Michael act so decisively.

Clearly, Daryl had crossed a line, provoking Michael's wrath.

Michael said softly to the wailing Daryl, "I'll take responsibility for breaking your arm. But you touched my girlfriend's face. You have to pay the price. I want everyone to know that if you mess with my woman, you'll pay with your life."

Michael, usually carefree and playful, especially around Chloe, now showed a side of him she had never seen.

After dealing with Daryl, Michael took Rena's hand and, after saying goodbye to Chloe, left without a second thought.

He didn't need to handle the aftermath; Grant would take care of everything. Michael, still fuming, led Rena to the mall's underground parking lot. He held her hand tightly, his grip leaving red marks on her wrist.

Rena could tell he was very angry...
