Chapter 102
How Are You Planning to Strike Back
When Luna Brooks heard Naomi Pierce's excuse, her brows knitted tightly.
She said impatiently, "Go find Meng Lifen right now and work with her to get in. Don't think you can see Mr. Sterling by yourself, understand!"
She remembered that back then, Ethan Sterling had spent a great deal of effort just trying to see Julian Sterling, and in the end he still hadn't been able to meet him.
And yet Luna Brooks had gone by herself. Who knew whether she was too braindead or too overconfident.
It was infuriating!
She only hoped that this time they would be smart enough to get this done and not make her worry so much.
Luna Brooks answered, "Yes, I understand!"
...
At that moment, Claire Bennett learned that Luna Brooks had been thrown out.
She had Ruby Sterling keep an eye on Naomi Pierce's movements, and Ruby Sterling had long since connected with Marcus Reed.
The moment Luna Brooks was thrown out, she immediately learned what Luna Brooks had done and promptly told Claire Bennett about it.
"Hahaha, this is killing me! They actually let someone sneak into Sterling International to expose you, and who would've thought she'd get thrown out? It's hilarious."
"They probably still don't know my brother already knows about this."
Claire Bennett's eyes shifted when she heard that.
If Naomi Pierce wanted to expose her, then if this attempt failed, she would definitely think of some other way.
So why not beat them at their own game?
A moment later, Claire Bennett had an idea. She smiled and said, "Ruby, can you do me a favor?"
"Oh, come on, why are you being polite with me? Just say it. Whatever you need, I'll go through fire and water!"
"Of course we're striking back."
That instantly got Ruby Sterling interested, and she quickly asked, "How are you planning to strike back?"
This time Luna Brooks didn't dare act on her own again. She went to find Meng Lifen and asked her to go into Sterling International with her to see Mr. Sterling.
When Meng Lifen found out that Luna Brooks had secretly gone into Sterling International by herself and only came to her after messing things up, she got furious and mocked her with heavy sarcasm.
"Luna Brooks, you damn woman! How dare you go behind my back to see Mr. Sterling!"
"Oh, Lifen, I didn't mean to hide it from you." Knowing she was in the wrong, Luna Brooks quickly coaxed her. "Aren't I here now to ask you to go with me? Don't be mad. Once this is handled, we'll be able to go back to Sterling International."
"Oh, give me a break! If you hadn't failed, would you even have thought of me? You couldn't possibly have thought you could sneak off and see Mr. Sterling, right?" Meng Lifen sneered coldly.
She knew exactly what kind of person Luna Brooks was. If something good came up, how could she possibly think of her?
In the end, Luna Brooks said all kinds of nice things and spent a long time coaxing her. She even painfully gave up one of her designer handbags before Meng Lifen's anger finally died down.
The two of them carefully planned things out and decided to go in again at dusk, when everyone was getting off work.
At that time, there would be more people going in and out of Sterling International, and no one would notice them. It would be harder for them to be recognized.
The two waited patiently together, and finally quitting time arrived.
More and more people started coming and going through the Sterling International building, with plenty entering and leaving through the doors. They seized the chance and slipped into Sterling International while the crowd was thick.
The two of them carefully avoided people and entered the elevator.
As the elevator went higher and higher, the thought that they were about to see the handsome and extraordinary Mr. Sterling made both of them excited.
Ding, the elevator doors opened.
The two cautiously looked left and right. To their surprise, the top floor was completely empty, without a single person in sight. Marcus Reed and the other assistants were nowhere to be seen either.
What was going on?
Could everyone already be off work?
The moment the two stepped out of the elevator and were about to walk inside, a large group of tall men in security uniforms suddenly appeared from all around and surrounded them completely!
"Don't move!"
Marcus Reed stepped out from the back. Expressionless, he said, "You actually dared to come to the chairman's office to steal. Take them to the police station immediately!"
Luna Brooks and Meng Lifen were just about to defend themselves when someone clamped a hand over their mouths.
They were taken downstairs by security.
Such a huge commotion quickly drew a lot of onlookers, especially since it was quitting time and there was a constant flow of people at Sterling International's entrance.
Quite a few people gathered around the two women, pointing and gossiping.
Very soon, people learned from the security guards what had happened.
"I remember these two. They're from the planning department, right? Meng Lifen and Luna Brooks?"
"Tsk, they got fired for no reason, and I was wondering why. Who would've thought it was because they were stealing?"
"So it's them? No wonder my lipstick kept disappearing for no reason."
"I lost a bracelet too."
"The company probably let them off once already, right? And now they still dare to sneak into Sterling International to steal? That's really bold!"
"I remember these two went to Naomi Pierce's engagement party too. They kept wandering all over the place. Don't tell me they were taking the chance to steal there too?"
When Luna Brooks and Meng Lifen heard that, they anxiously tried to explain.
They hadn't stolen anything!
But someone kept a tight hand over their mouths, so they could only make helpless muffled sounds of "mmph mmph mmph," staring wide-eyed in frantic distress.
The two were quickly taken away and locked up, and their phones were forcibly confiscated too.
Following Claire Bennett's instructions, Marcus Reed used their phones to send Naomi Pierce a text message.
The message said: "The plan has already succeeded. Mr. Sterling will hold a press conference at Sterling International tomorrow to announce that he is unmarried."
