Anissa kept rambling on, hoping Isidora would get where she wasing from.
But Isidora seemed lost in her own world, a smile creeping onto her face just thinking about Quentin.
Meanwhile, Adide and Quentin made their way up to Chloe''s hospital room.
Grant had already sent people to chase away the reporters who had been pestering Chloe earlier that morning.
But when Quentin learned that reporters hade to harass Chloe early in the morning, heshed out at Grant. "Grant, what the hell were you thinking? Chloe almost drowned and she''s lying in a hospital bed, and you just left her alone? Why weren''t you herest night? And what have you been doing every day? Can''t you even take care of your fiancée?"
Grant, who hadn''t seen Quentin in a while, was caught off guard by the outburst. He never expected Quentin to startying into him the moment he showed up. Grant tried to exin. "Dad, it was my mistake. I thought..."
But Quentin didn''t care about the details and went straight to ming Grant. "Not taking care of Chloe is on you. I''m telling you, this better not happen again."
Grant hung his head, not daring to say a word.
He felt that if he dared to argue, Quentin might actually p him. Even though he was the CEO of the Martin Group, in front of his grandfather and father, he had no room to push back.
Quentin berated Grant for a while before finally calming down.
Chloe spoke up for Grant, "Quentin, don''t me Grant. It was my fault too. Last night, Grant insisted on staying with me, but I told him to leave the hospital."
Quentin''s face was still stern, but hearing Chloe''s words, he shot another re at Grant. "Alright, since Chloe is sticking up for you, I''ll let it slide this time. But I''m warning you, this better not happen again."
Grant meekly agreed.
After showing concern for Chloe for a while, Quentin turned to Adide.
With a smile, he said, "Adide, didn''t I handle this well?"
Adide rolled her eyes at him, not saying much.
Quentin seemed used to Adide''s reticence.
He continued, "Adide, before I came back, my dad called me. He said Chloe and Grant are getting along well. Since they''re already engaged, shouldn''t we set a date for the wedding?"
"If the Davis family has any requests, just let us know. The Martin family will make sure everything is ready." Quentin looked at Adide with a hopeful expression.
Grant and Chloe exchanged puzzled nces, feeling that the interaction between these two was a bit awkward.
Hearing Quentin''s words, Adide rolled her eyes again.
She said, "Let the Davis family make requests? What do you mean by that? Do you think the Davis family is short on money?"

Quentin hurriedly denied, "No, Adide, you know that''s not what I meant. I just wanted to show the Martin family''s sincerity."
Adide finally softened her expression. She cleared her throat and said, "If the Martin family wants to show your feelings, then go ahead and make the arrangements."
"But Quentin, let me remind you, the Davis family girls don''t have to marry into the Martin family. I don''t want my only niece to be mistreated." her tone was firm. "My dad thinks the Martin family shoulde to an agreement first, and then we can talk about the wedding. Of course, if you want to call off the engagement, we''re ready to agree anytime."
Hearing this, Grant suddenly felt a wave of panic.
He stepped in front of Adide and said urgently, "Adide, I don''t want to call off the engagement. I definitely want to marry Chloe."
"Yes, we won''t call off the engagement. We''re all thrilled to have a wonderful girl like Chloe," Quentin said, trying to appease Adide, but his words only seemed to irritate her more.
Adide calmly asked, "Really?"
Quentin immediately shut his mouth. He quickly added, "Adide, these are family matters for the Martin family. I''ll handle them. Don''t worry."
Quentin seemed to talk a lot in front of Adide. Seeing this side of Quentin, Chloe
suddenly understood where Michael got his talkativeness from.
Quentin wanted to stay in the room a bit longer, but Adide directly told him to leave. "Chloe needs to rest. You should go."
Hearing this, Chloe couldn''t help but cough lightly.

Quentin was, after all, an elder of the Martin family. Wasn''t Adide being a bit too blunt?
But Quentin said tteringly, "Alright, I''ll go. Chloe, take care and rest well. I''ll have someone bring you some nutritious food. Eat well and recover quickly."
"When you''re discharged, I''ll take you out for a meal. Take care..." Quentin babbled on for a while before finally leaving with his entourage.
After he left, Adide let out a long sigh of relief and smiled at Chloe and Grant.
"Auntie, Why are you so unfriendly to Quentin?" Chloe asked Adide.
Adide replied, "Even with my unfriendly attitude, he still wouldn''t stop talking. If I were a bit nicer to him, he could go on for days."
What Adide said was true, but it made Grant feel a bit awkward.
Chloe''s attending doctor came in to check on her and prescribed some medication. After breakfast, Chloe took out her phone to check the news online.
In just a couple of hours, the inte was flooded with stories about Chloe pushing the girl into deep water.
There were also reports about Grant smashing a reporter''s camera to protect Chloe. Some unscrupulous media even started fabricating stories, using Chloe of murder before the police investigation wasplete, and iming that Grant was using his influence to clear Chloe''s name.
The affairs of wealthy families always attracted attention, and soon, Grant and Chloe found themselves at the center of a media storm.
