Chapter 142
A Victorious Battle
At this moment, Naomi Pierce was completely rattled.
She hadn't expected Claire Bennett to have such damning evidence on her. Now that Claire had exposed it, she had been pushed into a hopeless situation.
But the most important thing was... her fake pregnancy had been exposed...
She turned to look at Ethan Sterling, only to see that his face was dark and grim, terrifying to behold. He was obviously furious.
Although Ethan Sterling had other thoughts about Claire Bennett and had outwardly been helping Naomi Pierce, that didn't mean he could tolerate being deceived.
And having it exposed in public had made him lose all face!
Claire Bennett looked at Naomi Pierce and said coldly, "Naomi Pierce, if you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. You were never pregnant at all, and just to frame me, you actually used your future child as part of the act. A mother like you is truly something else!"
Looking at the extreme mockery on Claire Bennett's face, Naomi Pierce clenched her fists. Her expression was twisted, vicious, and gloomy, yet there was nothing she could do.
Amid the chaos, the court made its final ruling.
Naomi Pierce's accusation against Claire Bennett was not upheld!
After the announcement was made in court, Claire Bennett's lawyer then filed suit over the damage to Claire Bennett's reputation caused by Naomi Pierce's framing. He had already prepared the materials in advance.
Perhaps once the new ruling came down, Naomi Pierce would have to pay the corresponding compensation.
Naomi Pierce had tried to trick others and ended up losing out herself. Not only had she failed to bring Claire Bennett down, but the nasty things she had done were exposed, and now she also had to face compensation.
With the matter over, Claire Bennett stood up and walked outside.
As for what would happen to Naomi Pierce and Ethan Sterling, who were left behind, that wasn't something she should care about, nor did she want to care about either of them.
Outside the courthouse, Julian Sterling's car was already waiting there.
Claire Bennett opened the car door and only then realized Ruby Sterling wasn't inside. She asked curiously, "Where's Ruby? Where did she go?"
"She already went back first."
Claire Bennett relaxed and sat in the front passenger seat, and the car started up and drove away.
Just then, her phone rang. It was a message from Ruby Sterling: "Claire, hurry up and take a look."
She tapped into it curiously, only to discover that Paige Nolan had posted an exposé online.
Everything Dr. Nolan Pierce had done for this court hearing had now been exposed, and his career would probably be hindered from now on.
Dr. Nolan Pierce, who had already run off, was discovered by Paige Nolan. He had left with his mistress, and after learning the scandal had blown up, he wasn't planning to come back anymore.
In a fit of rage, Paige Nolan immediately exposed how Dr. Nolan Pierce had falsified Naomi Pierce's miscarriage and how he had conspired with Naomi Pierce, and she even reported where he was hiding.
The two sides were viciously tearing into each other online, making for quite a noisy spectacle and stirring up even more uproar around Naomi Pierce's scandal.
In a very short time, Naomi Pierce lost several million followers. It was enough to show just how furious her fans were at being deceived. Her reputation probably wouldn't sound good for quite a while.
Claire Bennett felt instantly brighter. She had finally cleared her name!
Just then, another message from Ruby Sterling came in, and Claire Bennett lowered her head to glance at it.
Ruby Sterling: "Hey, hey, hey, you actually moved and didn't even tell me. That's a little unfair! Since you won the lawsuit today, shouldn't we celebrate properly together?"
Seeing that, Claire Bennett thought about it and felt Ruby Sterling was right.
This time, she really had thoroughly crushed Naomi Pierce. It was time to celebrate her victory.
She replied, "Then tomorrow."
"At your new place? Then I'm in for a treat, aren't I? That braised pork you made last time was so delicious!" Ruby Sterling sent a starry-eyed emoji full of anticipation.
Claire Bennett could practically see Ruby Sterling's impatient little foodie face, and she couldn't help curling her lips into a smile.
She had cooked for Ruby Sterling once before, and Ruby had never stopped thinking about it since. Seeing how eager she was now, Claire Bennett naturally wouldn't refuse her good friend's request.
She said, "I'll buy groceries and cook tomorrow morning. Come over."
Ruby Sterling: "Awesome! Then it's settled!"
