Rural Belle & Three Heirs
Chapter 59 That Is My Goddess

Grant's face was blank at first, but Michael's words made him snap to attention. He immediately thought of Philip, the kid who was always trying to get close to Chloe. Was Philip the one picking her up for school today? He thought, 'Guess our last basketball game didn't scare him off enough.'

Grant felt a wave of annoyance wash over him. He took a sip of his milk, confused by how irritated he was.

He slouched in his seat and glanced out the window. There was a flashy Jeep parked right outside their house. Chloe hopped into the car. Through the window, Grant saw a really cute girl behind the wheel. Michael turned to Liam and asked, "Hey, who's that girl driving? Is she Chloe's friend?"

Liam, looking totally smitten, stared at the Jeep and said, "Friend? That's my goddess."

"Goddess?" Michael looked at Liam, puzzled. How did he not know his twin brother had a "goddess"?

Liam replied, "Yeah, my goddess. She's amazing on a motorcycle. If I practice for another three years, I might be as good as her. I thought she was just good on bikes, but did you see her park that Jeep? So smooth, so cool..." Liam was lost in admiration, and Michael, who was used to seeing all kinds of pretty faces, couldn't help but roll his eyes at Liam.

Chloe was in Zara's car, heading to school. They chatted the whole way.

"Chloe, is there something wrong with Liam? If you hadn't messaged me yesterday to save me, I would've lost it with his enthusiasm," Zara said, exasperated.

The first time she visited the Martin Mansion to see Chloe, she ran into the overly chatty Liam, who wouldn't stop talking and offering her things.

"He's not that bad, just a bit too eager," Chloe said, not mentioning that Liam had mistaken her for Zara.

Zara shook her head. "Rich people are so hard to understand."

Chloe grabbed Zara's phone and logged into her alt account.

"Zara, this is the account I use to talk to Liam. He doesn't know it's me. I've been super busy lately, so can you chat with him for a few days?"

Zara immediately refused. "No way, I can't handle his over-the-top enthusiasm."

Seeing Zara's refusal, Chloe sweetened the deal. "I've got the latest LV bags, more than ten, and two of them are limited editions. If you help me out, you can pick any one you like." Zara's eyes lit up at the offer.

For women, a good bag could solve almost any problem. It was a universal truth: there was nothing a great bag couldn't fix.

Zara quickly changed her tune, saying, "Actually, Liam's not that bad. I think chatting with him is fine. So, when can I pick out the bag?"

Chloe couldn't help but roll her eyes. Zara was great in every way, except for her habit of taking advantage of Chloe's generosity. When would she ever change?

"You can choose whenever you want," Chloe said, "but there's one condition: you must never reveal my identity to Liam."

Zara looked puzzled. "Chloe, what do you mean by that?"

Chloe just grinned mischievously. "Nothing, just want to mess with Liam a bit."

After dropping Chloe off at Quest University, Zara, who was a couple of years older and worked at the Jenkins Group after graduating, drove off. Chloe waved goodbye and headed towards the campus. Philip and a few close classmates were already waiting for her at the classroom door. As soon as they saw her, they gathered around, talking excitedly.

"Chloe, your move was genius. Public opinion is powerful. The school will have to give in this time."

"Yeah, Lucy's been bullying us for too long. It's time for payback."

"Hopefully, they'll expel Lucy and her dad. No more bullies."

"Philip, Chloe, we're all with you. If it comes to it, we'll all get expelled together. This school isn't worth it anyway." Chloe listened to everyone, but she noticed Rena was missing. She pulled Philip aside and asked, "Any news from Rena?" Philip shook his head. "I messaged her ten minutes ago. She said the school hasn't retracted her expulsion notice yet."

"Not yet?" Chloe frowned. They had worked so hard to get the school to back down. If Rena couldn't come back, it would all be for nothing.

Philip nodded, looking serious. "Chloe, if the school doesn't take action against Ford, Rena might not be able to return. Should we come up with another plan?"

Chloe thought for a moment and nodded. "We have no choice. If this doesn't work, we'll go with Plan B. We have to make sure those bullies pay."

Chloe clenched her fist, feeling a wave of sadness. Despite her privileged background and the Martin Family's support, dealing with bullying at Quest University was still tough.

She felt a pang of sympathy for Angus, realizing he had compromised just to give Rena a chance at education.

While Chloe was lost in thought, Philip's phone rang. It was the Registrar's Office. "Philip, please bring your classmates to the Registrar's Office..."
