Chapter 127
There's a Way to Solve It
"Uh... that's what I thought before, but the fact that you were able to get me out proves President Sterling didn't help him. President Sterling is still a very good person."
Only now did Julian Sterling finally understand how Claire Bennett's mind worked.
Because she didn't want to drag him into it, she hadn't asked him for help, and because he was just a driver for someone else, she hadn't even gone to Ruby Sterling. Maybe that was the reason too.
Claire Bennett thought of something and asked in confusion, "How did you get me out?"
"I used President Sterling's connections," Julian Sterling said without changing expression.
He hadn't expected that in the end he'd still have to borrow President Sterling's identity, otherwise there would've been no way to explain it.
"Then what about the detention center..."
"Get some rest. You don't need to worry about anything else. I'll take care of it for you."
It looked like he really needed to prove what he could do, otherwise Claire Bennett would still think he was completely useless.
After saying that, Julian Sterling reached out and pulled the blanket up to her neck.
Seeing that Claire Bennett still wanted to say something, Julian Sterling didn't wait for her to speak and continued, "Anyway, since we've already asked President Sterling for help, we might as well not waste this opportunity."
Claire Bennett sighed and said gloomily, "Alright then. Anyway, that unreliable Sean Shaw is no match for Ethan Sterling. He's still stuck in New York and can't come over right now."
Otherwise, she wouldn't have had to stay in the detention center that long.
Thinking about how Julian Sterling had helped her at all costs, Claire Bennett's eyes grew hot, and she felt like she owed even more favors now.
Just now, when she saw Julian Sterling standing guard by her side, she had almost been moved to tears.
Claire Bennett said sincerely, "Thank you for the trouble."
Looking at Claire Bennett's face full of gratitude, Julian Sterling's expression softened quite a bit. He said gently, "If you have problems in the future, remember to come to me. I can solve all your troubles for you."
Claire Bennett felt as if a feather had lightly brushed across her heart. Julian Sterling was way too good at flirting. A line like that could instantly knock down a lot of girls' defenses, and that naturally included hers too.
He was just too dependable!
But he only saw her as the other party to a contract, nothing more.
Thinking of that, Claire Bennett's mood suddenly dropped.
Julian Sterling noticed her change in mood and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Are you still uncomfortable somewhere? Do you want me to call the doctor over to examine you?"
Claire Bennett quickly came back to herself and shook her head hard. "No need. I'm not uncomfortable anywhere, so you don't have to worry. I just thought of some things just now."
"Worried about the charges?"
Claire Bennett didn't dare tell him what she'd just been thinking about.
Saying it out loud might become a burden on everyone. It would be better to act like she knew nothing and just get along with Julian Sterling like this.
She pushed down the messy thoughts in her head and answered, "Yeah. Ethan Sterling came at this aggressively this time. I'm afraid he won't be easy to deal with..."
That poor sap Sean Shaw was completely no match for Ethan Sterling.
Maybe because Ethan Sterling had been watching her the whole time, Sean Shaw was discovered the moment he tried to find a lawyer.
Thinking about how Ethan Sterling had actually used the Sterling family's connections to put countless obstacles in Sean Shaw's way, Claire Bennett felt a sense of helplessness.
It seemed that in this world, power and influence were still the strongest thing of all.
Julian Sterling glanced at her and said lightly, "It's not like there's no way."
"There's a way?" Claire Bennett looked at Julian Sterling with some curiosity and asked eagerly, "You have a way to solve it? Don't tell me you're going to ask President Sterling again?"
She felt they couldn't keep owing favors like this. President Sterling helping once was generous of him, but he couldn't keep helping forever. They still had to think of a way themselves.
But that day, no one had heard her talking to Naomi Pierce, so there were no witnesses.
And there were no security cameras covering where she had been standing, so there was no physical evidence either.
No witnesses, no physical evidence—she was definitely screwed!
Julian Sterling's eyes flickered slightly, and he said slowly, "Even though your spot was a surveillance blind spot, there's a security camera on the building across from it that just happens to catch that exact area."
