Chapter 291
President Sterling Is Here
In the Maison Verne office, everyone was still locked in a standoff, waiting for the person who had just gone to fetch someone to come back.
When Chloe Carter saw someone leave to invite President Sterling over, she became even more smug and carried away.
She sneered without the slightest courtesy, "Oh my, Claire Bennett, we told you to leave on your own just now, but you just wouldn't listen. Well, now look what happened. President Sterling's people are coming over, and you're definitely done for. When that happens, you won't get a choice."
After saying that, she added in a low voice, "Who doesn't know Willow is President Sterling's woman? You actually dared to frame Willow. How could President Sterling possibly let this go? Just wait for it!"
When Willow Lane heard Chloe Carter's words, she curled her lips into a mocking smile.
The feeling of grinding Claire Bennett under her foot was just too satisfying!
When the other Maison Verne employees heard that, they couldn't help whispering among themselves.
"Sigh, I never thought Claire Bennett would do something like this. Then with how famous she was before, could that have come from some shady method too?"
"Who knows. Anyway, she's not a good person."
"If this really blows up, we'll definitely lose all face in this industry."
"Then what is Claire Bennett still holding out for? She should just slink away with her tail between her legs. She's still being stubborn, and now look what happened. If higher-ups send someone over, they'll definitely think our department is incompetent."
At the side, Molly Lee was already frantic when she heard this.
She hadn't expected that the crisis of being fired had only just been resolved, and now something like this had happened again. She absolutely did not believe that Claire Bennett would tamper with Willow Lane's design draft.
Even though they had only spent a short time together, Molly Lee knew Claire Bennett wasn't that kind of unethical person. She would disdain doing something like that. They had definitely been framed.
What were they supposed to do now?
When Willow Lane saw Molly Lee's anxious face and how she clearly had no idea what to do, her mood immediately improved even more.
Claire Bennett really was staying calm. She sure knew how to put on an act. In reality, she was probably already panicking inside.
She was waiting to see Claire Bennett drop to her knees and cry while begging for mercy!
Chloe Carter's gaze at Claire Bennett was full of mockery. She had been trying to see fear in her expression, but to her surprise, Claire Bennett was extremely composed, seeming not especially flustered at all, which left her somewhat puzzled.
Wasn't Claire Bennett supposed to be worried and scared, begging them not to throw her out of Maison Verne?
What was going on now?
Molly Lee truly admired Claire Bennett too much. No matter what happened, she was always able to face it this calmly. The anxious emotions Molly had felt just now gradually settled under Claire's composure.
At that moment, the person who had gone to ask for instructions came back, but there was no one with her.
Quite a few people, seeing this, all began whispering to one another.
Could it be that the higher-ups weren't planning to deal with this matter?
Or was Willow Lane actually lying, and she wasn't that valued after all? Or maybe she had no relationship with President Sterling at all?
When Willow Lane saw the doubtful looks around her, her expression nearly fell apart.
"I told you to go get someone, so why did you come back by yourself?" Willow Lane couldn't help asking.
"Uh... Assistant Wade said... for me to come back first," the employee answered somewhat hesitantly.
Just then, a considerable commotion sounded from the doorway.
A tall, straight figure in a suit appeared before everyone's eyes. When Willow Lane saw who had come, delight appeared on her face at once.
President Sterling was here!
