Chapter 255
She Really Was Glorious Beyond Compare
At that moment, the wealthy ladies beside Tanya Sterling saw what was happening and all said to her, "Oh my, Tanya, I never expected your daughter-in-law to be so capable. She can even get someone like that to come help out, and this Mr. Mike is impressive too."
"I heard from my daughter that that Queen person is very formidable."
"If you ask me, Ethan is the impressive one for finding himself a wife like this!"
"Exactly. With his father-in-law giving him a leg up in the future, won't Ethan be soaring to success? It's enough to make people die of envy. I just don't know when my son will ever become this promising."
"Look, Victor Bennett is even taking Ethan around to expand his connections. That man over there in the blue suit is President Monroe. My family has wanted to get to know him for ages, but we've never had a way in."
Originally, when Tanya Sterling saw Claire Bennett stealing the spotlight, she had been a little unhappy inside.
But now, hearing these people say that Claire Bennett was working under Naomi Pierce, that meant Claire Bennett was still a notch below Naomi Pierce after all, and instantly her face broke into a smile.
Tanya Sterling said smugly, "Oh... you all should stop praising her. That child Naomi really is quite good. She even said she'd have her father open a new project for Ethan so he could handle it independently."
"What? Really? Naomi Pierce is way too good to him. Tanya, you really picked well with this daughter-in-law. You and Ethan get to enjoy the benefits too!"
Mrs. King looked at Tanya Sterling's smug expression with a dark face.
So Ethan Sterling had actually managed to find a wife like this. People nowadays laugh at poverty, not promiscuity. Even if a man rises through his wife, no one would laugh at him for it. Everyone was unbelievably envious, and they were even scrambling to go up and curry favor with him.
Tanya Sterling really was glorious beyond compare!
Seeing Mrs. King's ugly expression, Tanya Sterling felt immensely gratified and couldn't have been prouder.
She pretended to be puzzled as she asked, "By the way, Mrs. King, I heard the Ward family has been looking for a husband lately. Hasn't your son still not found a girlfriend? The Ward family may not be on the level of the Bennett family, but they're still quite decent. Do you need me to introduce him?"
The Ward family's main branch in Chicago was also in New York, and among Chicago's prominent families, they were considered fairly respectable.
No one had expected Tanya Sterling's connections to be so broad. It seemed that after Ethan Sterling married a daughter of the Bennett family, the value of both Tanya Sterling and her son had risen right along with it.
Mrs. King clenched her fists. She took a deep breath and refused stiffly, "No need. I've already found someone for my son."
"Ah, then that's really a bit of a shame." Tanya Sterling sighed.
When the wealthy ladies around them saw Mrs. King refuse, they couldn't help whispering among themselves.
"She actually turned down such a good opportunity. What a pity."
"Don't you know Mrs. King and Tanya Sterling don't get along? Now that Tanya is introducing someone to her son, how could she possibly accept?"
"Hahaha, true enough. If it were me, if my sworn enemy introduced a match for my son, I wouldn't accept either. Mrs. King must be furious!"
"Stop talking. Look how awful Mrs. King's expression is."
Mrs. King had been thoroughly crushed by Tanya Sterling, and she was deeply unwilling to accept it.
Thinking of something, she sneered, "You think a project can just be opened whenever you say so? Who doesn't know it takes enormous investment? The Bennett family just set up a Maison Verne for Ethan Sterling. Oh... I forgot, the main person managing Maison Verne is still Naomi Pierce. It has nothing to do with your son at all. If you ask me, that new project most likely won't happen!"
Back when she learned that Maison Verne had been established, Mrs. King had made a point of looking into it.
She knew Naomi Pierce held the dominant position. To put it bluntly, Ethan Sterling was nothing more than Naomi Pierce's assistant, yet laughably, Tanya Sterling was still bragging about it everywhere.
Otherwise, why would she now be so eagerly trying to get a new project going?
