Traveling Far and Wide to Bring in Reinforcements

Just then, his phone rang. He looked down at it. It was a message from Ruby Sterling.

He opened his phone, and Ruby Sterling's message came into view.

"Bro, I heard Claire went head-to-head with that little white lotus Naomi Pierce, and she shoved Naomi Pierce hard enough to make her miscarry? Claire's badass! I didn't expect her to hit that hard. That little white lotus must've come to pick a fight before Claire made a move!"

Ruby Sterling was blindly taking her best friend's side and didn't think she'd done anything wrong at all.

Julian Sterling frowned slightly, his long, distinct fingers typing on the phone as he replied, "She didn't push her."

"Holy shit! Doesn't that mean Claire was framed by that little white lotus Naomi Pierce? No way, I've gotta settle the score for her! We absolutely can't let someone slander her for nothing."

Julian Sterling thought of Claire Bennett, who was in the room right now, and a mocking curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. "No need for you to worry. She's already asked someone for help."

Ruby Sterling: "Asked someone for help? Who could she ask for help? Don't tell me she went to find that white moonlight of hers?"

Julian Sterling: "Mm."

On the other end, Ruby Sterling was instantly speechless. Instead of clinging to the huge golden thigh that was her brother, Claire Bennett had actually gone all the way out to bring in reinforcements!

Then she remembered that Claire Bennett didn't know Julian Sterling's identity, and only then did the excitement in her heart fade.

"Bro, what are you planning to do? Are you really just going to watch that man get close to Claire Bennett again? Wouldn't everything you did before have been for nothing? Maybe if Claire Bennett gets touched by it, she'll throw herself at him!"

The moment Julian Sterling heard the words "throw herself at him," his expression turned ugly, and a chill instantly spread from him.

He had helped Claire Bennett so much, and he hadn't seen her throw herself at him.

Maybe because he wasn't the person in Claire Bennett's heart, she hadn't thrown herself at him.

If it were someone else, would things be different?

Julian Sterling suddenly became inexplicably irritated.

At that moment, Claire Bennett came back after finishing her call, her face full of relief.

Just now, she had asked Sean Shaw to help her find a lawyer. If Ethan Sterling really intended to pursue the matter for Naomi Pierce all the way through, then she would have to face this problem, and she couldn't handle it on her own.

Though she could also ask Ruby Sterling for help.

But she'd already troubled Ruby Sterling too many times over her own matters before, and she felt too embarrassed to ask for help again. She could only turn to Sean Shaw. After all, he was family too, so there was no need to be overly polite.

After Claire Bennett walked out, she saw Julian Sterling leaning back in the sofa, his eyes half-lowered. She had no idea what he was thinking, but his expression looked a little unpleasant.

Curious, she walked over and sat down beside him.

Julian Sterling lifted his eyes and glanced at her, then asked casually, "Called for help?"

Claire Bennett hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

"You saw what happened today too. Ethan Sterling and the others definitely won't let this go. I'm just preparing for a rainy day."

Julian Sterling's expression turned cold.

He believed in that white moonlight's ability, but didn't believe in his? Why go looking far away instead of coming to him for help?

Julian Sterling's eyes darkened slightly as he asked, "Can I ask you a question?"

"What question?" Claire Bennett looked at him in surprise.
