Confused, she wondered why Liam left. She touched her calf, noting the skin wasn''t ulcerated. "Why do you go there?"


    Liam didn''t hide it and started talking to Chloe, "I talked to a dermatologist about that mole on your face. The doc said it''s pretty big and can be taken off with aser or surgery, but surgery''s better and won''t leave scars. Chloe, you already look awesome. Your skin just needs a bit of TLC to really shine. Getting that mole removed will make you look even better."


    Liam''s suggestion made Chloe frown. She had meticulously ced that mole on her face, and now he wanted her to remove it? Was he out of his mind?


    Oblivious to her reaction, Liam continued talking about the doctor. Chloe finally stopped him.


    She asked, "Liam, didn''t you go to the surgery department?"


    "Surgery? Why would I go there?" Liam was puzzled by Chloe''s question. He nudged her as he spoke.


    Chloe raised her face and said, "You should head to surgery and see if they can swap out that silly head on your shoulders for a smarter one."


    Chloe''s words left Liam speechless.


    He responded, "Chloe, why are you talking like this? I went to the dermatologist for you."


    Chloe stuck out her tongue, mirroring his behavior. "I think you should consider a head upgrade for yourself, so you''re not always so lost and clueless." Liam felt like he was going crazy. What had he done wrong again?


    At noon, the group returned to the Martin Mansion.


    After applying medicine to her leg, Chloe went to her room upstairs to rest. Grant called Liam downstairs to discuss something.


    Chloe found her phone and called her grandfather.


    She used all her charm to get her grandfather to let her go home. "Grandpa, I really don''t want to stay in Sovereign City. I don''t like anyone here. Look, I even hurt my leg here. My leg is all bruised and it hurts so much. I want to go home and find you forfort."


    In the past, this trick always worked with Nichs.


    But today, no matter how much Chloe tried to persuade him, Nichs on the other end of the video call remained unmoved.


    To make Nichs believe her, Chloe had to lift her leg to show him the bruise.


    Unexpectedly, Nichs said calmly, "It''s just a scrape. You didn''t cry when you almost bit the dust on your motorcycle. Don''t try to fool me, Chloe. You can''te back until you bring a grandson-inw. The Davis Mansion''s doors are shut until then."


    Chloe, usually brimming with ideas, waspletely baffled by his insistence on her choosing one of the Martin brothers. It felt like trying to pick a general from a field of cripples.


    "Grandpa, my dear grandpa, I love you. Please let mee back." Chloe yed her trump card.


    Nichs wasn''t having any of it. "If you really love me, bring me a grandson-inw. Chloe, I''m over eighty years old, and my time is precious. I really want to see the fourth generation of the Martin Family. The Martin Family has good genes. Stay there and work hard."


    He hung up the video call before Chloe could say anything else, leaving her sprawled on the big bed, feeling utterly despondent.


    She wanted to die.


    She really wanted to die.


    There were plenty of families with good genes in the world. Why did her grandfather insist on the Martin Family?


    Downstairs, the three brothers were all present. Even Michael, who was in a script discussion meeting, had been called back by Grant.


    The three brothers were discussing Chloe''s situation.


    Michael, the eldest brother, rarely scolded Liam, "Liam, what were you thinking? You were supposed to keep herpany, and now her leg is almost broken."


    "Michael, it didn''t break, did it? I''ve exined, it was just a misunderstanding," Liam tried to defend himself. Chloe got hurt while with him, so he had to take responsibility. "Misunderstanding?"


    "It was just a misunderstanding," Liam insisted.


    "Picture me kicking your leg and brushing it off as a misunderstanding, alright?" Michael and Liam shed.


    Grant, using his authority as the eldest brother, stepped in. "Alright, the damage is done. Stop arguing and let''s discuss who will apany Chloe next." Grant raised the key issue.


    Chloe hade all the way from home to Sovereign City to join the Martin Family. One of the three brothers had to apany her to avoid being med by Louis.


    "How about we take turns?" Liam suggested. "I was with her this morning, so it''s your turn this afternoon."


    Grant hesitated. "I have a meeting and taking her along might be dull. She might not enjoy it," he exined.


    Michael added, "I have script discussions and meetings with investors for my new show."


    Hearing this, Liam had an idea.


    He said, "Michael, why don''t you take her with you? I heard script discussions are interesting. Shees from a rough ce, so it might be good for her to hear some highbrow stuff and cultivate her taste, right?"


    Liam''s suggestion quickly gained Grant''s approval, and he nodded, saying, "I think Liam has a point. Taking her to your script meeting is more interesting than taking her to my meeting room. Besides, script discussions are quiet and much safer than going to a motorcycle race with Liam. Don''t you think?"


    The problem was handed to Michael.


    Michael weighed it and finally agreed. "Alright, I''ll take Chloe to the script meeting this afternoon."


    So, the three brothers arranged Chloe''s afternoon. After lunch, Chloe was forced to get into Michael''s car and go to the script meeting with him.


    It was Chloe''s first time encountering a script, and she found it a bit novel.
