Chapter 250 Not a Threat
Tony's question lit a fire of anger in Chloe's heart.
Isidora had just been punished for her slander, and Grant had told Chloe that the board wanted Isidora to resign.
Chloe had planned to wait a few days to see what Grant's response would be, but she hadn't expected to see Isidora standing so intimately next to Grant.
Grant was deceiving her.
"Tony, send me the address of their gathering..." Chloe was furious.
"Chloe, even if I send you the address, you won't be able to get in. My dad said this is a gathering of big shots. Without a big company to your name, you won't be able to attend. Chloe, don't worry. Wait until Mr. Martin gets home tonight and ask him then," Tony tried to calm Chloe, worried about her temper.
Chloe ignored him. "Just send the address. Stop with the excuses. Whether I get in or not is my business..."
With Chloe's insistence, Tony didn't dare refuse. Once she had the address, Chloe quickly headed to the gathering.
While in the car, she sent a message.
Since it was a gathering among top-tier individuals, the venue naturally exuded luxury -the Sky Pavilion at an international hotel.
This place was renowned in the industry, and even before Chloe arrived in Sovereign City, she had heard about it. The membership threshold for this high-end hotel was incredibly steep; even the lowest-tier members had an average spending of over $50 million.
In other words, someone like Isidora would never have the chance to be in such a high-end hotel without Grant.
When Chloe arrived at the hotel, staff stopped her, asking for her ID and invitation. She had neither, but someone came over, showed their credentials, and discreetly led Chloe into the penthouse.
After leading Chloe in, the person disappeared into the crowd.
Chloe began searching for Grant among the guests.
Though she hadn't attended many such gatherings, Chloe understood the dynamics.
At gatherings like these, the men were preoccupied with networking, discussing lucrative business deals, and expanding their connections.
The women, on the other hand, were busy helping their husbands build rapport with the wives of other influential figures, climbing the social ladder, or even seeking out wealthy heirs who could provide them with long-term financial security.
Chloe, in her casual attire, stood out among the elegantly dressed women.
She spotted Grant, chatting happily with two well-known figures from TV. Isidora was by his side, looking very close.
Despite her anger, Chloe didn't act impulsively.
She found a quiet spot to sit and observe. Unexpectedly, Isidora noticed her.
Isidora looked flustered when she noticed Chloe but quickly composed herself. After saying a few words to Grant, she approached Chloe.
The gathering was quiet, with only soft music playing.
Isidora, in her elegant dress, sat next to Chloe and whispered, "Chloe, why are you here? Are you worried about me being with Mr. Martin at such a high-end gathering?" Although she appeared very proper and serious, Chloe could tell from her words that she was also someone who wasn't easy to deal with.Isidora continued. "Chloe, even though you and Mr. Martin are engaged, you shouldn't act like this. I'm here with Mr. Martin for work. Following him here makes him lose face."noveldrama
"People might think you're trying to keep Mr. Martin on a tight leash. How insecure must you be?"
"Also, this is a high-end gathering. Everyone is dressed formally, and you show up in casual clothes. It's disrespectful and embarrassing for Mr. Martin."
"I'm saying this for your own good and for Mr. Martin's. Go home. Once Mr. Martin is done, he'll return. Don't worry, I'll make sure he doesn't drink too much."
Isidora's words redefined Chloe's understanding of two-faced people.
Typically, those who were two-faced will go to great lengths to frame and slander others. However, Isidora cleverly masked her intentions by claiming she was acting in the best interests of Chloe and Grant. While ostensibly advocating for their benefit, she subtly demeaned Chloe in a way that left no room for criticism.
This was where Isidora's cunning surpassed Sophia's-throughout the entire interaction, she never uttered a single negative word about Chloe, yet she managed to instill a deep sense of inferiority within her.
According to Isidora's plan, Chloe would leave after hearing her words, and even if Grant found out, Isidora wouldn't be blamed.
But Chloe was confident and fearless.

Isidora said she would embarrass Grant?
Chloe laughed coldly. "Miss Faye, don't act so familiar. We have no relationship, and I don't accept your affection."
"And whether I embarrass Grant isn't for you to decide. Mind your own business and stay out of mine."
"Lastly, I must commend you. You're quite skilled at being two-faced, but your cunning doesn't threaten me."
Chloe took a sip from her glass. Despite her casual attire, her elegance and nobility shone through.
Isidora was slightly flustered. "Miss Davis, I'm doing this for your good and the good of the Martin Group. Mr. Martin is networking, and his success tonight could bring great profits to the Martin Group and the Martin Family."
"I don't mind your attacks. I'm an employee of the Martin Group, and you're the future lady of the Martin Family. You can't just sit here and embarrass yourself." Isidora's words made Chloe frown. Her large mole moved slightly with her expression. She snapped her fingers and said to Isidora, "You're right. I shouldn't just sit here. I should walk around and let everyone see I'm here."
With that, Chloe stood up and walked into the crowd.
Isidora panicked.
From her interactions with Grant, she could sense his care for Chloe. Tonight was her moment to shine beside Grant, and she couldn't let Chloe ruin it...
