I Was the One Claire Dumped

Why would Julian Sterling be pursuing Claire Bennett?

Mr. Lewis did know that Julian Sterling had recently made Old Mr. Sterling unhappy, which was why Old Mr. Sterling had come to him wanting to arrange a marriage alliance for Julian Sterling.

Maybe it was because of Claire Bennett.

He patted Hazel Lewis on the back of her hand and said in a low voice, "Hazel, it's precisely because that woman isn't good enough in Old Mr. Sterling's eyes that he came to us. Only a proper young lady like you is worthy of a man like Julian Sterling. You don't need to regard that woman as any threat."

Hearing that, Hazel Lewis gradually calmed down.

That was right. For an outstanding, exceptional man like Julian Sterling, having one or two women was normal. As the proper wife, she had to carry herself with the bearing of the proper wife. As long as the position of Mrs. Sterling ended up being hers, that was enough.

As for a woman like Claire Bennett, she didn't need to take her seriously at all.

Although Molly Lee was curious that the person who showed up wasn't the handsome guy she'd seen last time but this unfamiliar, strikingly handsome man, this man was far better-looking than the one she had seen before.

No fear at all of being looked down on by Willow Lane and the others!

How could Molly Lee possibly let such a perfect chance to hold her head high slip by? She said to Willow Lane, "Didn't someone just say that if Director Song's pursuer was a handsome guy, she'd kneel down and apologize in public? Well, now a top-tier hottie is here, so hurry up and kneel!"

There was absolutely nothing to criticize about Julian Sterling's looks.

Even if you wanted to find a flaw, you couldn't.

Hearing Molly Lee's sarcastic mockery, Willow Lane's face turned green, then white. She stared at Julian Sterling unwillingly, secretly gritting her teeth.

So what if he's handsome? Didn't he still dump Claire Bennett?

Full of malice, she said, "Sir, did you get tired of playing with Claire Bennett and dump her? We called you over just now because we wanted to ease things between the two of you."

After saying that, Willow Lane waited for Julian Sterling to admit that he didn't want Claire Bennett anymore.

Claire Bennett: "..."

Was Willow Lane still not embarrassed enough?

Julian Sterling slowly curved his lips into a smile. Putting on a wounded expression, he said, "Actually, I'm the one Claire dumped. Later, I pursued her for a long time before she finally agreed to be with me."

"What!" Willow Lane cried in shock, saying in disbelief, "She dumped you?!"

A man who looked this outstanding and exceptional had taken the initiative to pursue Claire Bennett, and then Claire Bennett had dumped him??

How was that possible!

When Molly Lee heard that, she couldn't help letting out a cold laugh.

She looked at Willow Lane and snorted, "Willow Lane, stop jumping around making a scene. Is it really that hard to admit Director Song is excellent? She's worth a handsome guy like this pursuing her!"

Quite a few people, seeing how things had turned out, also began to switch sides.

"Claire Bennett really is pretty outstanding. I heard she graduated from that famous elite school."

"She's so exceptional, having a handsome pursuer like this is perfectly normal, right? Who on earth spread the rumor that her pursuer was ugly? That's seriously vicious!"

"I think it was Willow Lane, right? She was the one misleading everyone just now."

"Then didn't she just get completely slapped in the face? That's so embarrassing."

...

The whispers from all around reached her ears. Willow Lane's face was ashen, a breath of anger stuck in her chest with nowhere to go, and she was nearly furious out of her mind.

Claire Bennett couldn't be bothered with Willow Lane.

She glanced at Victor Bennett beside Julian Sterling, then shifted her gaze back to Julian Sterling, walked closer to him, and asked quietly, "How did you end up coming over with him?"

Julian Sterling didn't want Claire Bennett to know about the private conversation he'd just had with Victor Bennett, so he merely said flatly, "We ran into each other at the entrance."

Seeing Claire Bennett speak to Julian Sterling with such familiarity, Victor Bennett narrowed his eyes in confusion.

From the exchange just now between Willow Lane and Claire Bennett, he felt that something was strange. Wasn't Claire Bennett about to marry Ethan Sterling? Why had another pursuer suddenly appeared? And it was none other than Julian Sterling, President Lu of Sterling International.

Could it be that because Julian Sterling had taken a liking to Claire Bennett, he had come to say all that vague nonsense to him?

Victor Bennett was unwilling to see Claire Bennett entangled between two men. That was not good for a girl's reputation.

And Ethan Sterling and Julian Sterling had that kind of relationship. If she got tangled up with both of them at the same time, Claire Bennett would probably end up being judged behind her back.

Victor Bennett's expression tightened slightly, and he said earnestly, "Claire, you're already someone preparing to get married. Don't get involved with other men in such a messy way."
