Chapter 274
Could He Be Julian Sterling
Ethan Sterling stared fixedly at the car in front of him. It was the domestic car worth just over a hundred thousand that Julian Sterling was currently using.
Tanya Sterling didn't think much of it and said, "Come on, didn't they say that pretty boy drives for the Sterling family?"
"No!" Ethan Sterling narrowed his eyes. "Ordinary drivers usually like taking their employer's car out to show off. Even if they have their own car, they wouldn't drive it to their employer's house. And Julian Sterling would never ride in a car this low-end..."
"What do you mean?" Tanya Sterling looked at Ethan Sterling in confusion.
Ethan Sterling didn't speak. His eyes just darkened.
At that moment, a servant in the garage was wiping down the car. After thinking for a moment, he stepped forward and asked, "Whose car is this?"
The servant looked up and saw Ethan Sterling, recognizing him as a member of the Sterling family.
So, without any guard up, the servant said, "This is the eldest young master's car."
The eldest young master was Julian Sterling!
Ethan Sterling's eyes tightened abruptly. It was as if he had thought of something, but he didn't quite dare to be sure. Maybe he really was just being overly suspicious.
He continued asking, "Is your eldest young master home today?"
The servant nodded. "He is! Do you need me to let him know you're here?"
Ethan Sterling suddenly shook his head. "No need, thanks."
After saying that, he pulled Tanya Sterling away with him.
...
In the living room, Mother Sterling shot Father Sterling an unhappy glare and snorted, "Why did you agree to that just now? What if he goes back to Sterling International and lures my daughter-in-law away?"
"How did I agree to anything? I just told him to go back first and deal with his own affairs!" Father Sterling snorted aggrievedly.
At that moment, Ruby Sterling's voice came over. "Hahahaha, Mom, all the water that used to be in Claire's brain has already drained out. In this life, she's destined to be my sister-in-law. There's no way Ethan Sterling is going to lure her away."
Julian Sterling and Ruby Sterling walked downstairs.
Ruby Sterling hurried over to Mother Sterling and said, "Claire already saw Ethan Sterling's true colors a long time ago. How could she possibly go back to him? So you don't need to worry."
Only after hearing that did Mother Sterling relax a little.
Just then, Julian Sterling's phone rang. He took it out and glanced at it. Wes Mercer was calling. "Mr. Sterling, the meeting starts at three this afternoon. You can come over now."
Recently, Marcus Reed's mother had fallen ill, so he had taken a month off to go home and visit family. For now, his work was all being handled by Wes Mercer.
Julian Sterling responded in a low voice, "Mm."
After ending the call, he said to Father Sterling and Mother Sterling, "I still have something urgent to deal with, so I'm heading back to the company first."
"Remember to bring our daughter-in-law tomorrow. We're going to celebrate the housewarming."
Julian Sterling's car slowly drove away from the Sterling family home. After his car disappeared from sight, Ethan Sterling and Tanya Sterling stepped out from the corner.
"It really is him!"
Tanya Sterling also said doubtfully, "Could he really be Julian Sterling?"
"Not sure yet, but I just feel like something's wrong," Ethan Sterling replied.
The main thing was that Julian Sterling's presence was too strong. If he were uglier, more pathetic, more ordinary, Ethan wouldn't suspect anything.
But Julian Sterling's appearance was too outstanding, and it inevitably made people suspicious.
He was either a pretty boy, or he was the real Julian Sterling!
Ethan Sterling said, "I've got to investigate this carefully!"
Tanya Sterling thought about what they had said to Julian Sterling before, and the things they had done. If he really was Julian Sterling, then wouldn't they be finished?
She hoped all of this was just a misunderstanding on their part.
Today was the last day off.
Claire Bennett was just thinking about how to spend it when Ruby Sterling came looking for her early in the morning.
After Ruby Sterling came in and sat down, she smiled with a suggestive look and said, "Claire, you've finally come to your senses and moved back, huh?"
Claire Bennett's cheeks reddened a little. Even though it was in front of her good friend, she still felt embarrassed. Fortunately, when Ruby Sterling saw how shy she looked, she didn't keep teasing her.
After that, Ruby Sterling stayed home and chatted with her.
Although Ruby Sterling often came back to see her, Claire Bennett felt that Ruby was acting strange today. Just now Claire had said she wanted to go shopping with Ruby, but Ruby had said she wasn't in the mood.
Just as Claire Bennett was about to ask whether something had happened, Julian Sterling came back. His gaze swept lightly over Ruby Sterling, then he called out, "Miss," and Ruby Sterling stood up smiling.
"Didn't you go to work?" Claire Bennett looked at Julian Sterling in confusion.
Julian Sterling walked in. "My parents are moving, and they want us to go eat with them."
"Moving?"
Claire Bennett suddenly recalled Father Sterling and Mother Sterling's previous home. Although it looked a little small, it was still pretty decent, wasn't it? Why were they suddenly moving?
As if seeing Claire Bennett's confusion, Julian Sterling said, "They hadn't lived in that house for a long time, and they felt like nothing about it was very good anymore."
Alright... Claire Bennett accepted that explanation and didn't suspect anything.
She just looked at Ruby Sterling with some apology.
It was rare for Ruby Sterling to come play with her today, but now she had to go eat with Julian Sterling. Making Ruby leave now didn't seem very nice.
Ruby Sterling smiled and said, "You're going to help with the move? I'll go help too! Anyway, Uncle and Auntie and I aren't strangers, and I haven't seen them in a long time either."
Claire Bennett was helpless. Was Ruby's memory declining that fast?
Hadn't she just seen them not long ago?
In reality, Ruby Sterling had come to see Claire Bennett today precisely so she could smoothly join them for the meal. Now that she had proposed going along, Claire Bennett probably wouldn't refuse her request.
Sure enough, Claire Bennett had no objection, but she still looked at Julian Sterling to ask his opinion. "Can Ruby come too?"
