Chapter 249
I Am Claire Bennett's Legal Husband
Claire Bennett looked completely bewildered. What the hell was this?
She was getting married?
And tangled up with some other man? Who exactly was she tangled up with? Had Victor Bennett lost his mind?
Julian Sterling, however, understood immediately what Victor Bennett was referring to.
Because he knew Victor Bennett had been used by Naomi Pierce, there had to be some kind of misunderstanding, so that was why he was telling Claire Bennett not to walk together with him?
A trace of coldness spilled into Julian Sterling's eyes as he cast Victor Bennett an expressionless glance.
Then he said in a domineering tone, "Mr. Bennett, I need to remind you that I am Claire Bennett's legal husband."
Victor Bennett was so shocked he couldn't recover.
Julian Sterling was Claire Bennett's legal husband? Then... then what was Ethan Sterling to Claire Bennett? Wasn't Claire Bennett supposed to be marrying Ethan Sterling?
Claire had even sent him an invitation, asking him to come to her wedding, so why had things suddenly turned out like this now?
So which one was his future son-in-law, Julian Sterling... or Ethan Sterling?
Countless questions surfaced in Victor Bennett's mind. For a moment, he was completely dizzy from the tangled relationships and couldn't make sense of what exactly was going on.
If he really had to choose one...
Victor Bennett's gaze fell on Julian Sterling. Compared with Ethan Sterling, Julian Sterling was even more outstanding. Just standing there, he had a presence no less imposing than any of the men present.
Given time, once he had been tempered by the years, his aura would probably be unmatched.
However, before Victor Bennett could say anything, Ethan Sterling and Tanya Sterling over there had already walked over excitedly to greet him.
"Mr. Bennett, you've finally arrived!" Ethan Sterling said excitedly.
He had originally planned to call him Father-in-law, but he knew Naomi Pierce's relationship with her father was not very good and needed some smoothing over. Blurting it out rashly would not be appropriate and might also make Victor Bennett unhappy.
Victor Bennett came back to his senses and gave a slight, polite nod.
Ethan Sterling caught sight of Julian Sterling at the side and slowly narrowed his eyes. Wasn't this the man Claire Bennett had found back then to pretend to be his uncle, Julian Sterling?
So he was the man pursuing Claire Bennett!
But how had he ended up with Victor Bennett? Was he trying to get some benefit from Victor Bennett? Was that why he was hanging around him and currying favor?
With someone of Victor Bennett's status, who wouldn't want to flatter and suck up to him?
Ethan Sterling let out a mocking snort inwardly. This man was nothing more than a driver for hire, so of course he was desperate to force his way in.
Faced with Ethan Sterling's contemptuous gaze, Julian Sterling merely stood to one side calmly, a mocking smile at the corner of his lips, watching Ethan Sterling fawn eagerly around Victor Bennett as though he were watching some wonderful show.
Victor Bennett had, after all, weathered plenty of storms, and he quickly calmed down.
What Julian Sterling had just reminded him of, along with how things had developed, all made him vaguely realize something. Victor Bennett's gaze moved back and forth between Julian Sterling and Ethan Sterling several times.
Could it be that the man who had actually married Claire Bennett had always been Julian Sterling, not Ethan Sterling? Then what exactly was going on with Ethan Sterling?
At that moment, Ethan Sterling saw Naomi Pierce frozen in the back, not daring to step forward, and his face darkened in displeasure.
What was wrong with Naomi Pierce?
Her father had already arrived, so why wasn't she hurrying over to greet him? What was she doing standing there like an idiot in the back?
When Tanya Sterling saw Ethan Sterling turn his head to look over, she quickly gave Naomi Pierce a shove and urged, "Naomi, your dad is here. Why aren't you going up to say hello? Ethan is waiting for you. And later, don't forget what we discussed before—set up a new project for Ethan."
Naomi Pierce was already scared senseless.
They had clearly said Victor Bennett wouldn't show up, so why had he come now?
The terror of her identity being about to be exposed made Naomi Pierce's face look exceptionally ugly, and she couldn't stop her whole body from trembling slightly.
