Chapter 238
And While I’m At It, Meet My Father-in-Law
Ruby said indignantly, "But doesn't this prove that... Naomi Pierce has been impersonating Claire's identity and using it to bluff and swindle people? That's absolutely disgusting! I have to expose her!"
Now that they knew Claire Bennett was the Bennett family's daughter, Naomi Pierce, that fake Bennett heiress, should be exposed too.
Using the identity of the Bennett family's daughter, Naomi Pierce had gotten huge benefits at Sterling International and had even become Maison Verne's brand manager, lording it over Claire for so long.
She had been afraid that if Claire found out Naomi Pierce was supposedly the Bennett family's daughter, it would put psychological pressure on her, so she had never dared tell Claire about it. And now it turned out the real Bennett heiress was Claire?
This was simply unbearable!
Ruby had just been impersonated by Kelsey Lee, so she absolutely detested this kind of behavior.
After learning what Naomi Pierce had done, she wished she could expose every vile thing she'd done right away and let everyone know.
The more Ruby thought about it, the angrier she got. Gritting her teeth, she huffed unhappily, "That woman took advantage of the fact that Claire's relationship with her family is bad, and that's how she openly impersonated Claire as the Bennett family's daughter. I say we just expose her for faking Claire's identity and see how she can keep getting away with it then!"
"No," Julian Sterling said, uttering two words.
"Why?"
Ruby didn't understand why Julian Sterling was stopping her from exposing that little white lotus Naomi Pierce. Naomi had done so many things using Claire's identity. Were they really just going to let her get away with it?
But based on Ruby's understanding of her brother, there was no way he would just stand by and watch one of his own get bullied.
He might usually be rather cold, but he was fiercely protective of his own.
And the consequences of being retaliated against by Julian Sterling were not something an ordinary person could bear.
Seeing Ruby's curious look, Julian Sterling kindly explained, "I've invited Victor Bennett to attend Maison Verne's new product launch."
When that time came, this fake heiress Naomi Pierce would be finished.
And while he was at it, he would also meet his father-in-law.
Ruby gave him a thumbs-up and couldn't help praising him. "Bro, you're seriously amazing. Then I'll just wait to watch the show!"
After hearing Ruby's words, Julian Sterling seemed to think of something.
He took out his phone and called Marcus Reed.
When Ruby saw that her brother had suddenly gone silent and was making a call right in front of her, she curiously leaned over, wanting to see whom he was calling.
The call connected, and Marcus Reed's voice came through. "Mr. Sterling."
"Find a reason to let Kevin Parker go, and tell him that if he wants revenge, he should go after the person truly responsible," Julian Sterling said slowly, a cold and dangerous sharpness surfacing in his eyes.
"Yes."
Julian Sterling ended the call directly.
Just then, he'd suddenly remembered Kevin Parker.
Back then, Kevin Parker had wanted to make a move on Claire, and later Julian had locked him up. The person behind it all had been Naomi Pierce.
Originally, he had planned to give Naomi Pierce and Ethan Sterling a huge surprise at their wedding, but now he had suddenly changed his mind.
How could he allow his own woman to be bullied? Naturally, he had to help her vent this anger.
Of course Ruby knew about what had happened with Kevin Parker before. Hearing that Julian Sterling was actually going to let Kevin Parker out, she couldn't help wanting to clap and cheer.
As far as she knew, Julian Sterling had already kept Kevin Parker locked up for a long time, right?
There was no way Kevin Parker would dare go settle accounts with her brother, so naturally wouldn't he go after the real culprit who had harmed him?
She could practically already imagine how lively the new product launch was going to be then.
See? There was no way her brother, a man so protective of his own, would stay indifferent!
It was right around quitting time in Maison Verne Jewelry's department.
"Good night, Manager Song."
The receptionist at the front desk waved goodbye to Naomi Pierce. Naomi curved her lips into a smile and nodded, then left on her high heels.
There were only two days left before the new product launch, and she had been busy staying at the company these past two days, worrying about all the little matters behind the scenes. Today, she had left even later than everyone else again.
Naomi Pierce felt that her abilities were not lacking at all. Compared to other people, what she lacked was simply background and status. If she had that kind of excellent family background too, she would definitely be able to produce good results.
In Sterling International's parking garage, Naomi Pierce had just opened the car door when, unexpectedly, a large hand yanked her out. Before she even had time to cry out, she was shoved into the back seat of the car.
"Mm... you..." Naomi Pierce frowned tightly in pain.
At that moment, the man who had shoved her got into the driver's seat and started the car. Very quickly, Naomi Pierce's car sped out of the parking garage.
Originally, Naomi Pierce had wanted to call for help, but after seeing who was driving, her face turned white with fright, and she froze on the spot.
Ke... Kevin Parker!
How could it be him? Hadn't he already vanished without a trace?
Thinking back to what had happened before, Naomi Pierce felt panicked and flustered. She forced herself to calm down and said in a trembling voice, "Why are you here? Where have you been this whole time?"
Kevin Parker, who was driving, glanced at Naomi Pierce through the rearview mirror.
He let out a cold, sinister laugh and said, "Naomi Pierce, you ruined me! Do you know how I've gotten through this period of time?"
Looking at Kevin Parker's smile, Naomi Pierce felt that she might be in danger.
She asked nervously, "Who took you away? Where have you been this whole time?"
Kevin Parker thought of Julian Sterling, and a look of fear and wariness surfaced in his eyes. Julian Sterling was not a man to provoke. Of all the things he should never have done, stepping on Julian Sterling's minefield was the one thing he most should not have done.
