Chapter 273
The Pretty Boy's Car Is at the Sterling House
"Bro! Hurry up and look what good thing I’ve got!" Ruby Sterling excitedly rushed into Julian Sterling’s room holding a tablet.
Hearing her voice, Julian Sterling lifted his eyes and glanced over.
On the screen were Ethan Sterling, Tanya Sterling, and Mr. and Mrs. Sterling. Judging by the angle, there was surveillance footage in the living room.
Ruby Sterling looked like she was asking to be praised and said, "This is the security camera I bought last time. I originally wanted to use it to keep an eye on Little Snowy, but I didn’t expect it to come in handy now. Let’s listen to what that disgusting man Ethan Sterling is saying behind your back!"
Little Snowy was Ruby Sterling’s pet dog, a small Pekingese that was usually very mischievous.
It was meant to monitor the pet, but it ended up working out by sheer luck.
After what Julian Sterling had done to Ethan Sterling, Ethan Sterling would definitely take the chance to complain bitterly to Mr. Sterling about him.
Hearing Ruby Sterling’s words, Julian Sterling gave a scornful snort, as though he did not take Ethan Sterling seriously at all.
But he also did not say anything to drive Ruby Sterling away, tacitly allowing her to stay.
In the Sterling family living room.
Ethan Sterling sat there uneasily, racking his brains over how to bring it up so that Mr. Sterling would help him and let him return to work at Sterling International.
Before he could speak, Mr. Sterling said first, "Ethan, weren’t you helping out at the New York Sterling family before? Why did you suddenly come to Chicago?"
Ethan Sterling had not expected Mr. Sterling to bring up this matter on his own, which gave him the perfect chance to talk about Julian Sterling firing him.
Tanya Sterling immediately shot Ethan Sterling a look, signaling him to speak up quickly.
Ethan Sterling immediately answered, "Grandpa told me to come. He wanted me to learn from Uncle. After I came to Chicago, I’ve always behaved myself, listened obediently, and worked hard. Sigh! I never expected Uncle to fire me!"
After speaking, Ethan Sterling’s face was full of grievance, as if he had no idea what he had done wrong. He looked rather moving.
Upstairs, Ruby Sterling could clearly see his expression through the screen.
Ruby Sterling immediately said indignantly, "Oh my God! The Oscars couldn’t do without him. Ethan Sterling is way too good at pretending. He makes it sound like you randomly went crazy and fired him for no reason at all."
Mr. and Mrs. Sterling were not moved in the slightest by Ethan Sterling’s words.
If they had not heard about Ethan Sterling’s situation in advance, they might really have been taken in by him.
Mrs. Sterling gave a light snort and mercilessly exposed him. "Why did I hear that you did something bad, and that’s why Julian made you leave?"
She just could not keep things in and could not resist secretly standing up for her daughter-in-law.
Ethan Sterling had not expected Mrs. Sterling to say that, and he froze for a moment.
"Auntie, I... I didn’t do anything bad. Naomi Pierce pretended to be the Bennett family’s daughter and deceived me. I didn’t know about that either. Now my reputation has been ruined because of her, and I still don’t know what to do!"
Mr. Sterling glanced at Mrs. Sterling, then said, "Then hurry up and deal with it. Don’t let people use it against you."
"Yes, Great-Uncle Sterling, I’ll definitely handle this matter properly." After saying that, Ethan Sterling looked at Mr. Sterling again and asked tentatively, "Then after I resolve this matter, can I go back to Sterling International?"
How could Mr. Sterling possibly agree to his request? Besides, Sterling International was now entirely under Julian Sterling’s control; even he had no right to interfere.
He gave a light cough and said, "Let’s talk about it after you’ve handled it."
Ethan Sterling subconsciously took it to mean that Mr. Sterling had agreed that once he dealt with Naomi Pierce’s matter, he would be able to return to Sterling International.
He beamed with joy and agreed again and again.
"Great-Uncle Sterling, then we’ll be going now."
As Ethan Sterling and Tanya Sterling spoke, they directly stood up to take their leave.
After walking outside, Ethan Sterling suddenly stared in a certain direction not far away for a while. Tanya Sterling noticed something was off and asked, "Ethan, what’s wrong?"
"That car belongs to the pretty boy who’s pursuing Claire Bennett!"
