Rural Belle & Three Heirs

"Since you told Karlie you're dating Rena, you better treat her well. The elders in the Martin family don't care about social status, but you gotta know your limits."

"If you're with her, you need to step up as a man. Don't let her suffer because of you, and don't embarrass the Martin family."

"If there's anything, talk it out with Rena and help her handle it. That's it, Chloe and I are outta here."

As the elder brother, Grant gave Michael a few words of advice, then took Chloe by the hand and left Michael's villa.

They walked out of the villa complex, and all the way, Grant kept his arm around Chloe's shoulders. That intimate gesture made Chloe feel very secure.

As the breeze blew, they strolled along, and Chloe suddenly felt like she was falling in love.

By the time they returned to the Martin Mansion, it was already late. Chloe took a shower and was about to lie down to rest when Grant, holding his blanket, curled up on her bed.

His actions startled Chloe.

"Hey, Grantie, what are you doing? Why are you in my bed again?" Chloe asked. Grant, playing the innocent, shrugged and said, "I'm not used to sleeping alone anymore... holding you feels more comfortable."

With that, Grant pulled Chloe into his arms, holding her tightly.

After pulling Chloe into his embrace, Grant naturally didn't intend to let her go so easily. Following a series of kisses and hugs, both of them became particularly excited.

Chloe always had a thing for Grant's toned waist. Many times, she wanted to break the last barrier and pin him down, but Grant always stopped at the crucial moment, never giving Chloe the chance to cross the line.

The next day was Saturday, so Chloe didn't have to go to school.

She slept in and woke up feeling refreshed, but Grant was already gone from the bed.

After getting ready, Chloe was about to go downstairs for breakfast when Zara called her.

"Chloe, our little company has signed several actors recently, including some of your classmates. Now we need to find some opportunities for them."

"Brian introduced us to a director. Since you don't have to go to scool today, let's go meet him," Zara suggested.

Chloe agreed, "Sure, I'll get ready and meet you at the office."

"Great. By the way, the director wants us to bring our actors along so he can take a look at them," Zara added.noveldrama

"Okay, let's bring Philip and Floyd with us," Chloe replied.

"Got it."

With work plans in place, Chloe quickly got ready and joined Zara and the others to meet the director at the agreed location to discuss their collaboration.

Zara led them to a scenic area by the mountains and water.

The director, Travis Larson, was there with a group of actors, filming a variety show. Zara shared the director's background with Chloe. "Chloe, Mr. Larson is a well-known variety show director in the industry. I heard from Brian that every variety show he's directed has been a hit. His shows not only have high ratings but also always spark widespread discussion and controversy.

What's more interesting is that Michael once worked with this Mr. Larson in the early days of his career. At that time, Michael wasn't very famous, but after collaborating on that variety show, his fame skyrocketed like a rocket and he quickly became a hot star. Chloe, when we meet this director later, we must seize the opportunity to have an in- depth conversation with him. Let's see if we can convince him to create a bespoke variety show for Philip and Floyd. If Mr. Larson agrees, it would be fantastic news for our small company. We would be on the verge of making a huge profit!"

Chloe nodded. Even though she wasn't in the entertainment industry, she knew Travis Larson. Working with him would be a golden opportunity.

"Alright, you handle the pitch to Mr. Larson and come up with a solid plan," Chloe nodded.

"Sure, I'll take care of the plan. But Chloe, we need to figure out where we'll get the funding," Zara pointed out the biggest challenge.

Chloe wasn't exactly strapped for cash. She had a lavish lifestyle, and the Davis family was loaded. If she ever needed money, Nicholas could easily wire it to her. However, Chloe and Grant had a bet.

At that time, when the two signed the contract, it was clearly stated that they were not allowed to use their personal connections or available funds to help this new company. In other words, they had to rely on their genuine abilities, starting from scratch and working steadily, to develop this new company.

If Chloe invested her own money in the company, it would violate the terms of the bet. So, Chloe had to find a way to raise funds.

The bet also restricted her from seeking help from familiar people or those who had benefited from her in the past.

For example, she couldn't ask the Gibson family or Hilary for help, and Nicholas was out of the question.

Chloe racked her brain, trying to think of wealthy people she knew who could invest in the company.

She couldn't ask Hilary for funds, but she could approach Hilary's friends.

Similarly, she couldn't ask the Gibson family for money, but they could introduce her to potential investors.

For a moment, Chloe felt completely at a loss. After all, starting a media company requires a substantial amount of capital. In Sovereign City, who would have enough resources and be willing to invest in her venture?

After much thought, Chloe still couldn't find a suitable candidate.

Zara, standing beside Chloe, seemed to notice her dilemma and came up with an idea.

"Chloe, raising funds is a big deal. With the contract's restrictions, you can't just ask your usual connections for money.

But you could approach the Martin family. The contract doesn't say you can't get funding from them.

If you can secure the funds from the Martin family, you'll be unstoppable."
