Make Claire Bennett Come Out and Make a Fool of Herself

"Let's go."

With that, Claire Bennett and Molly Lee walked outside together.

The multifunction hall was buzzing with excitement. Today Ethan Sterling was dressed in a crisp suit, his hair slicked all the way back to reveal a full forehead, making him look handsome, dashing, and strikingly charming.

One hand in his pocket, he held a glass of champagne as he dealt with the wealthy executives who had come, his face glowing with satisfaction, his whole body exuding the pride of someone in complete control of the room.

Meanwhile, Naomi Pierce and Tanya Sterling were chatting with the wealthy society wives from the circle, introducing all of Maison Verne's new products.

These rich ladies would be potential customers in the future, so they had to leave them with a good impression now.

Such a huge incident had happened at Naomi Pierce's engagement banquet last time. Although Naomi Pierce said it was fake, quite a few people who had left early still misunderstood.

Especially the King family, Tanya Sterling's sworn enemies, who had mocked them relentlessly.

Mrs. King's son was about the same age as Ethan Sterling and was also working in the family business. She had always been at odds with Tanya Sterling and was constantly comparing him with Ethan Sterling.

After Tanya Sterling's incident, Mrs. King had even taken the chance to sneer at Tanya Sterling under the guise of offering comfort.

Later, after Naomi Pierce founded Maison Verne at Sterling International, Mrs. King only gradually quieted down after learning that Naomi Pierce was the Bennett family's daughter.

Under Tanya Sterling's deliberate and exaggerated promotion, everyone also came to know Naomi Pierce's other hidden identity as the Bennett family's daughter.

As for what had happened at the engagement banquet before, everyone kept their mouths shut as though it had never happened.

Thinking about how Naomi Pierce had previously promised to create an independent brand specifically for Ethan Sterling, and that once Victor Bennett arrived later it would become reality, Tanya Sterling's eyes filled with smugness. Her son was only going to do better and better in the future.

Suddenly, her gaze landed on a figure walking out from the lounge in the back, and Tanya Sterling let out a disdainful snort inwardly: luckily, back then, she had made Ethan Sterling dump Claire Bennett, that penniless drag who had nothing and only held him back for nothing.

Otherwise, Ethan Sterling would probably still be stuck under Julian Sterling's thumb now, forced to act according to his mood.

Now Ethan Sterling was about to turn things around by relying on his father-in-law!

That son of the King family was still slogging away under his uncle's name. How could he compare to Ethan Sterling, who had already started building his own brand with the Bennett family's backing?

Tanya Sterling's smile grew even smugger.

In the blink of an eye, it was getting closer and closer to the start of the brand runway show, yet Tanya Sterling still hadn't seen Victor Bennett's shadow, and she couldn't help frowning.

Tanya Sterling quietly pulled Naomi Pierce aside into a corner and asked in a low voice, "Siki, the show is about to start. Why hasn't your father-in-law come yet?"

Of course Naomi Pierce knew why Victor Bennett was not coming.

She had her mother use a small trick, and Victor Bennett was already unable to come. There was no way he would appear.

Naomi Pierce showed nothing on her face and said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, my dad's company is so busy. It's already very good that he could make time to come. If he's a little late, I hope you won't mind."

When Tanya Sterling heard that, she quickly said, "Of course not. It's already good enough that your father can come. I'm not in a hurry."

Then she changed tack and said, "But you should still give him a call. What if something happened? That way we can make some preparations too."

Hearing that, Naomi Pierce knew Tanya Sterling was worried that Victor Bennett might not be able to come.

What preparations did they need to make? Even if Victor Bennett didn't come, it wouldn't affect the new product launch.

But if she didn't make the call, Tanya Sterling would probably keep pestering her and keep asking about Victor Bennett.

Naomi Pierce spotted Claire Bennett's figure not far away, calculation flashing in her eyes. Looks like she had to make Claire Bennett come out and make a fool of herself to draw everyone's attention!

Naomi Pierce gave Willow Lane a look from afar.

Willow Lane had already coordinated with Naomi Pierce and agreed to help her. Now that she received the signal, she immediately called over the designers and Maison Verne staff beside her.

Tanya Sterling had originally wanted to say more, but with so many people coming over, it wasn't convenient for her to keep pressing Naomi Pierce in front of everyone, lest others think she was shamelessly fawning and desperately trying to see Victor Bennett.

Although she wanted to rely on Victor Bennett, she couldn't act quite that impatient.

Before long, quite a few people gathered around Naomi Pierce and buttered her up. "Manager Song, there are so many important figures here today. They only came because of you."

"You and Manager Lu are husband and wife working as one, and when two people work together with one heart, they can cut through metal. You'll definitely make Maison Verne an even better brand. It's really enviable."

"Exactly. If only I had a man like that to work hard together with me."

Hearing all this praise, a pleased smile spread across Naomi Pierce's lips.

At that moment, Willow Lane looked toward Claire Bennett, gave a cold snort, and loudly mocked, "Manager Song is obviously impressive. Unlike some people—never mind getting dumped, their position is probably about to be gone too!"

Her voice wasn't quiet, and everyone's attention nearby was drawn over.

Hearing that, the people beside her quickly asked, "Got dumped? What's going on?"
