Rural Belle & Three Heirs
Chapter 55 Is Mr. Martin out of his mind?

Liam and Eric zoomed back to the Martin Mansion, shaving five minutes off their usual half-hour ride. As soon as they got there, Liam burst into the living room like a tornado, driven by his intense feelings for the mysterious biker.

The moment he stepped in, he yelled, "Goddess, my goddess..."

Chloe, who was chatting with Zara and Tony, froze when she heard "goddess." She quickly adjusted her clothes, worried that Liam had figured out her secret identity. If he found out it was her, he'd cling to her, messing up her plan to break off the engagement.

While Chloe was freaking out about what to do, Liam had already rushed into the room. He hurried over to Zara, looking at her with excitement. "Goddess, you're at my place! Why didn't you give me a heads-up? Even a text would have been cool."

Zara was totally taken aback by Liam's behavior, and so was Tony, who was sitting next to her.

Chloe quickly realized Liam had mistaken Zara for herself.

Tony glanced back at Chloe, who shook her head, signaling him to keep quiet. And then, Chloe finally felt a wave of relief.

Zara was completely puzzled by Liam calling her "goddess." "What's this all about..."

Seeing Zara's confusion, Liam thought she didn't recognize him, so he eagerly introduced himself, "I'm Liam, the third heir of the Martin Family and a huge motorcycle fan. I was lucky enough to see you race, and I really admire your skills. You're a guest in my home today, and I'm sorry I haven't taken better care of you. Just give me a sec; I'll be right back."

Liam dashed off like a whirlwind, leaving Zara totally bewildered. She turned to Chloe, confused, and asked, "Chloe, is Liam out of his mind?"

Tony was about to explain, but seeing Chloe's sharp look, he immediately shut his mouth, knowing better than to speak.

Chloe cheerfully said to Zara, "Yeah, he might be a bit off."

After hearing Chloe's confirmation, Zara continued, "Is he mentally ill?"

"Well... it's hard to say." Chloe scratched her head.

Zara started to speak earnestly, "Chloe, if Liam is mentally ill, why doesn't the Martin Family take him to a hospital? The Martins aren't short on cash. If he's this sick, they should send him to a professional psychiatric hospital. Keeping him at home will only make things worse. Chloe, I feel sorry for you, having to live with someone like that every day."

Zara's words made Chloe almost crack her deadpan look. She pretended to be really upset and gave Zara a big hug. "Zara, you totally get me."

Tony watched them, scratching his head in confusion.

A few minutes later, Liam came back, directing the house staff to bring out all sorts of delicious and fun things.

"Goddess, you gotta try our backyard blueberries-they're totally organic. No one else gets to eat them. And this water? Grant hauled it back from the Himalayas; it's pure ice spring water. Oh, and this pastry? It's to die for-you've gotta taste it."

Liam was as cold to Chloe as he was enthusiastic to Zara, leaving Zara unsure how to respond. She shot Chloe a pleading look.

Chloe discreetly sent her a message, comforting her: [Zara, just eat whatever he offers you. Mentally ill people are very enthusiastic towards guests. If you reject his hospitality, who knows what impulsive things he might do. If he has another episode because of your rejection, it will be troublesome.]

Intimidated by Chloe, Zara passively accepted Liam's enthusiastic hospitality as if he were a servant.

At this time, Chloe received a call from Philip.

Philip asked her over the phone, "Chloe, did you talk to him about Rena? Is he willing to help us?"

Faced with Philip's inquiry, Chloe didn't know how to answer. Grant had drunk the bowl of porridge without saying anything, leaving her uncertain.

She thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure."

Philip sighed deeply and said, "It seems he doesn't want to help us. Poor Rena, she probably won't be able to go to school."

Hearing Philip say that made Chloe very upset. Rena's situation was caused by her, and she couldn't let Rena drop out of school.

Thinking of this, Chloe said to Philip, "Don't worry, if it really doesn't work out, I'll think of another way. We can still get things done without Grant, right? Wait for me at the school gate. Let's go to Rena's house and see what's going on." Philip agreed.

Unaware that the goddess he revered was a fraud who thought he was mentally ill, Liam continued to fawn over Zara, the latter still busy dealing with him. Tony stayed by Zara's side, watching Liam bustle around.

After sending a message to Zara, Chloe left the Martin Mansion to meet up with Philip and head to Rena's house.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the hallway of Rena's house, they heard sharp yelling and cursing.

Chloe and Philip exchanged a glance and hurried upstairs. When they pushed the door open, they saw Rena kneeling on the ground, being forced to endure the abuse. And the person abusing her was...
