Chapter 15

Looks Like You Two Are Angrier

"Ethan, let's go."

The two of them left arm in arm, their faces full of arrogance.

Claire Bennett went back to her seat, sat down, and continued eating.

Just then, her phone suddenly rang. She took it out and glanced at it. It was a message from Ruby Sterling.

"Claire! I have good news for you."

"What good news?"

Ruby's gossip-loving soul came alive, and she began telling Claire the juicy insider news she'd gotten.

It turned out Ethan Sterling had a model mistress on the side. Some time ago, she'd shown up at his door, but Tanya Sterling had paid her off and sent her away. Naomi Pierce didn't know about this either.

Hearing this, Claire felt both disgusted and relieved.

"Hehe, I just got that model's contact information. I even gave her some money and told her to go make a real scene at his door, so everyone would know what kind of scumbag Ethan Sterling is. It'll also thoroughly disgust those two."

Thinking about how Ethan Sterling was secretly such a master at juggling women behind the scenes, Claire felt every last bit of goodwill she had toward him vanish.

"Ruby, thank you."

"We're besties, after all. Even though that scumbag Ethan Sterling is my nephew, today I'm officially announcing that I've cut ties with him unilaterally!"

Seeing Ruby's message, Claire curled her lips slightly, feeling much better.

The Sterling Group president's office.

Julian Sterling was eating the boxed lunch Claire had given him. Even though he'd looked down on it when he first got it, he now felt that it tasted pretty good—much better than the takeout he usually ordered.

His impression of Claire improved by a few points.

Just then, there was a knock at the door, and Marcus Reed hurried in.

Julian Sterling lifted his eyes. "Something wrong?"

"Mr. Sterling, your nephew Ethan Sterling got into trouble. He..." He hesitated, seeming to have something he wasn't quite comfortable saying.

Hearing Ethan Sterling's name, Julian Sterling immediately thought of Claire's relationship with him.

His brows drew tightly together, and he said in a low voice, "What exactly happened?"

Marcus Reed was intimidated by Julian Sterling's presence and didn't dare hide it anymore.

"Here's what happened... Just now, Ethan Sterling's mistress came to the company downstairs. She said she wants him to take responsibility for the child, or else she'll die together with him. Quite a few people went over to watch..."

Julian Sterling's face visibly darkened in an instant.

What exactly was Claire thinking?

Did she think making a scene like this would solve the problem? All it would do was make her lose all face!

He pressed his thin lips together, stood up, and strode quickly outside.

Claire had originally planned to come to Sterling International tomorrow, but today Ruby had arranged a good show for her, so of course she had to come see it in person.

When she arrived at Sterling International, she saw Ethan Sterling's mistress suddenly rush out without warning and attack Ethan Sterling and Naomi Pierce like a madwoman.

The woman scratched two bloody marks across Ethan Sterling's face, and Naomi Pierce's hair had been messed up into something like a bird's nest. Both of them looked extremely bedraggled.

Claire couldn't hold back her laughter. They really had it coming!

The three of them were pulling and shoving at each other in front of Sterling International.

Ethan Sterling's handsome face was dark as he shouted angrily, "Leave right now! Let go!"

"No... I have your baby, and you're just abandoning the two of us like this. Are you even human? I have nowhere left to turn, boohoohoo..."

Ethan Sterling's expression darkened. He'd only been with this woman once, yet she'd gotten pregnant. He didn't even know whether the child in her belly was his.

When this woman had come looking for him before, Tanya Sterling had used money to smooth things over. He'd thought it was already behind them, but now she was back making a huge scene again. She was really greedy beyond belief!

It was lunchtime, and quite a few people from Sterling International had come out to eat. Seeing the three of them tangled up together, they all stopped and pointed at them while gossiping.

When the security guards saw it was Ethan Sterling, they hurried over. "Manager Sterling."

"Get this woman out of here right now!"

The mistress was forcibly dragged away by security.

"What are you looking at? Get lost, all of you!" Ethan Sterling roared.

The people around them didn't dare keep watching and all dispersed. The scene became quiet again.

Naomi Pierce touched her face and said pitifully, "Ethan, my face hurts so much. I wonder if it'll leave a scar."

"Don't be scared. I'll take you to the hospital right away. It definitely won't scar."

Just as the two of them were supporting each other and preparing to leave, they saw Claire standing to the side with the corners of her lips lifted high. Her face was full of gloating delight; she looked extremely happy.

Naomi Pierce's face darkened on the spot, and she snapped angrily, "Claire Bennett, what are you laughing at!"

"Of course I'm laughing at you." Claire admitted it openly.

"You..." Naomi Pierce was furious to death.

Claire's smile didn't change as she asked meaningfully, "Naomi Pierce, are you still short a bridesmaid for your wedding with Ethan Sterling?"

Hearing that, Naomi Pierce looked completely baffled. Why was Claire asking her about wedding bridesmaids out of nowhere?

"From what I can see, Ethan Sterling has plenty of mistresses number four and number five lined up behind your back. If you're short on bridesmaids, you can ask them to join in and make up a full table." Claire offered the suggestion with a look of concern.
