Definitely Not Any Good Man

In the end, Claire Bennett could only watch helplessly as Willow Lane finished the call, and Julian Sterling even agreed to come here.

Seeing how worked up Claire Bennett was, Willow Lane became even more convinced that this suitor couldn't be brought into the light.

She looked at Claire Bennett with gloating satisfaction and said with a smile, "Oh my, Claire Bennett, don't be shy. Everyone's helping you. When your suitor gets here later, just act cute with him a little. He'll definitely forgive you."

"Yeah, women who know how to act cute have the best luck. We'll all speak up for you!"

"What if acting cute doesn't work? Then how about offering your body?"

"Pfft, hahaha... what nonsense are you saying?"

"We should at least first see what type of man Claire Bennett's guy is, then we can give advice."

"Claire Bennett's being so secretive about him. Don't tell me he's an ug—" The speaker lowered her voice and laughed quietly. "Some tacky, fat, ugly freak?"

Molly Lee, standing nearby, grew a little anxious when she heard those words.

She quickly retorted, "Don't make wild guesses. Director Song's suitor is really handsome!"

Everyone immediately threw her a look of disdain. "What do you mean, really handsome? Have you seen him?"

Molly Lee straightened her chest. "Of course I've seen him!"

That day, she'd seen that man come pick Claire Bennett up. He was obviously very handsome.

"Heh, if he really is a handsome guy, then I'll kneel and kowtow to Claire Bennett in public and admit I was wrong!" Willow Lane said with mocking sarcasm.

She still didn't quite believe Molly Lee and felt that he definitely wasn't any good man.

Even Tanya Sterling thought the same thing.

Tanya Sterling snorted coldly and said in a snide tone, "With Claire Bennett's family background, what good man could possibly pursue her? She's only got a little bit of looks. That suitor is either a pauper, a married man, or an old man."

Naomi Pierce curled her lips slightly, very satisfied that Claire Bennett had drawn Tanya Sterling's attention.

At least she wasn't still pressing her with questions about Victor Bennett.

So Naomi Pierce stood by at ease, watching Claire Bennett's humiliation like a show.

Ethan Sterling also noticed what was happening here. He apologized to the executives around him, then walked over to Naomi Pierce and asked, "You're going to call Claire Bennett's suitor over?"

Naomi Pierce nodded and said, "Yeah. Claire Bennett broke up with him, but it looks like she still can't forget him. We're just helping them out so they can make up while they have the chance."

Ethan Sterling had originally wanted to say something, but then he thought about how, after latching onto Cameron Quinn, Claire Bennett had turned cold toward him and acted like she wanted to stay a thousand miles away from him. So he said nothing to help and simply let Willow Lane and the others deliberately set Claire Bennett up to embarrass herself.

Very soon, quite a commotion came from the entrance.

Everyone turned their heads to look.

Julian Sterling and Victor Bennett appeared before everyone.

Ordinarily, for a major figure like Victor Bennett, everyone's eyes should have stayed on him.

But Julian Sterling, standing beside him, actually stole his thunder. The moment Julian Sterling's handsome face came into view, it drew no small amount of astonished admiration.

Willow Lane froze completely, staring blankly at the two men in front of her.

Why had President Song come?

Could the man next to him be Claire Bennett's suitor? What was that man's relationship with President Song? Why was he by his side?

When Claire Bennett saw Julian Sterling and Victor Bennett appear together, she was completely stunned too. She couldn't quite process it and had no idea how those two had gotten mixed up together.

Seeing this father she had once admired so much and later come to resent, Claire Bennett felt a little miserable inside and didn't know what attitude she should take toward Victor Bennett.

Victor Bennett's sharp eyes found Claire Bennett with precision among the crowd. After seeing her, the coldness in his eyes faded and was replaced by affection.

Not far away, when Hazel Lewis saw Julian Sterling appear, excitement flashed through her eyes as well. Her gaze settled on Julian Sterling and did not move away for a long time.

When she saw that quite a few of the girls at the scene had been drawn to Julian Sterling, Hazel Lewis felt as though she possessed a rare treasure that everyone else coveted, something others could only stare at longingly.

Julian Sterling was the man she was supposed to marry in an alliance. He was hers!

Unable to suppress the excitement in her voice, she said in a trembling voice, "Dad, it's him!"

Originally, the father and daughter of the Lewis family had wanted to go forward and greet him, but someone was already faster than she was and had walked up first. When Hazel Lewis saw that figure, her eyes narrowed.

The woman Ruby Sterling had brought to the gathering that day seemed to be called Claire Bennett?

Her steps forward paused for a moment, and she felt displeased, as though something of hers was being coveted.

But in order to maintain the bearing of a wealthy young lady, she still didn't rashly do anything and decided to stand where she was and watch for a while first.

Claire Bennett quickly walked over to Julian Sterling and looked at him as she asked, "Why are you here?"

Julian Sterling looked at Claire Bennett with gentle eyes, the corners of his lips curling up slightly. "Someone invited me just now, so how could I refuse?"

That sentence directly confirmed that the number Willow Lane had called just now was his!

He was Claire Bennett's suitor!

In an instant, sounds of discussion and shocked exclamations rose all around them, and quite a few people grew excited and worked up.

"No way?! Claire Bennett's suitor is actually this handsome?"

"Oh my God, Claire Bennett is ridiculously lucky. I could stare at that face and fangirl all day!"
