Chapter 100

Let Him Keep Being President Sterling

Claire Bennett felt she really hadn't praised the wrong person just now. President Sterling really was a pretty decent person.

Julian Sterling's face darkened.

Even though Claire Bennett was praising him, in her eyes right now Wes Mercer was President Sterling, so the one she was praising was Wes Mercer...

Claire Bennett didn't notice someone's dark expression. In a good mood, she waved her hand. "Then I'll head back first."

Julian Sterling said, "Be careful on the way."

"Okay, you work hard," Claire Bennett said with a smile. After saying that, she turned and left.

After seeing Claire Bennett off, Julian Sterling immediately changed the password to the private elevator before taking it back upstairs.

Wes Mercer and Marcus Reed were standing at the elevator waiting for him. When they saw him come back, they immediately asked, "President Sterling, has Ms. Bennett left?"

"Mm."

Hearing that, Wes Mercer let out a huge sigh of relief. At least they hadn't screwed things up.

All of a sudden, he noticed Julian Sterling staring at him coldly. That look was a little scary, and it made him tense up again.

Could it be that President Sterling was holding what had just happened against him?

"P-President Sterling?"

"If she comes again in the future, you keep being President Sterling."

Wes Mercer looked completely dumbfounded. Had he heard wrong?

Keep being President Sterling?

Without even realizing it, he had somehow gained an extra identity as a fake president, and he didn't know whether to be happy or troubled...

Julian Sterling looked at Marcus Reed and said, "Go warn the companies those reporters downstairs belong to, and also investigate who leaked the information."

A scene like that was obviously premeditated. It definitely wasn't accidental.

After that engagement party, he had already arranged everything long ago. Yet it had still been exposed now. Other than someone doing it on purpose, there was no second possibility.

"Yes, President Sterling."

...

At the hospital.

Naomi Pierce was still waiting for Claire Bennett to get humiliated by President Sterling, but instead she received bad news.

Supposedly Marcus Reed, President Sterling's assistant, had personally shown up and driven away all the reporters at the entrance of Sterling International!

She abruptly sat upright, simply unable to believe it.

Not only had Julian Sterling not gotten angry, he had actually driven the reporters away? Was that real?

Naomi Pierce knew that with Julian Sterling's status, those reporters wouldn't dare provoke him.

Leaking that information had been meant to let the real President Sterling know about this matter, so that he would trace it back to Claire Bennett finding someone to impersonate him.

She had never expected the result to turn out like this!

Julian Sterling couldn't possibly be helping Claire Bennett. Could it be that he thought this matter was just a rumor, so he had the reporters driven away?

Naomi Pierce quickly found a reason to convince herself, concluding that the reason Julian Sterling hadn't pursued it was that he had mistaken it for someone trying to scam him.

Her engagement party had been fully recorded, and the whole process of Claire Bennett showing up with that fake had also been captured. So as long as she found a way to have someone deliver the recording to President Sterling...

There was no way she could go in person now, so who would be better to arrange to do this?

Very quickly, a sharp glint appeared in Naomi Pierce's eyes.

She thought of who to have do it.

Naomi Pierce took out her phone and dialed a number. After it connected, she said directly, "Hello, Luna Brooks, you and Mabel Monroe figure out a way to deliver the recording of Claire Bennett showing up during my engagement to President Sterling, and expose Claire Bennett for finding someone to impersonate President Sterling."

"That's right! The sooner the better. Once you two handle this properly, I'll let you return to Sterling International."

After ending the call, Naomi Pierce smiled.

How could she possibly help them? She was only dangling a little bait to get them to do her bidding.
