She Wanted to Come Clean to Julian Sterling

She could also feel a faint trace of breath at her neck, as if all she had to do was turn her head to see Julian Sterling.

Claire Bennett took a deep breath, and her gaze gradually grew resolute.

She shifted a little, only to find that she felt awful all over, but she had no time to worry about that.

Just as Claire Bennett was about to get up, Julian Sterling suddenly tightened his grip and pulled her back, not letting her rise. "I'll call in for you. Stay home and rest for a day."

"..." Claire Bennett's train of thought was interrupted, and she almost lost her nerve.

Her body really was very uncomfortable and needed proper rest. Last night, they truly hadn't known any restraint. Aside from the effects of the drug, there had also been her desire for Julian Sterling...

Scene after scene surfaced in her mind, and Claire Bennett's cheeks flushed red.

She hurriedly drove the messy thoughts out of her head. The most important thing right now was not that, but what she had to say to Julian Sterling.

She wanted to come clean to Julian Sterling!

Claire Bennett took Julian Sterling's hand and moved it away, saying seriously, "No, I still have something important to do."

After saying that, she wrapped herself in the blanket and fled to the bathroom to wash up.

By the time Claire Bennett finished and returned to the room, Julian Sterling was already up. Dressed in a black bathrobe, he looked refreshed and energetic as he sat on the sofa drinking coffee.

Claire Bennett clenched her palm, then walked over to Julian Sterling and sat down beside him.

She took a deep breath and said cautiously, "Julian Sterling, there's something very important I want to confess to you."

Claire Bennett didn't dare raise her head to look at Julian Sterling at all, afraid of seeing a look of disgust on his face. But she had already had him last night, and that was enough, wasn't it?

Claire Bennett gathered her courage again.

Her voice was sorrowful, tinged with a hint of self-mockery, as she said, "That day, Ruby and I went to Kinley Estate for the heiresses' social gathering. Later, your sister set me up and I was drugged. Someone saved me... he... she even took my first time. That person was..."

After a pause, Claire Bennett clenched her fists and said resentfully, "It was Ethan Sterling!"

She said it!

She had finally told Julian Sterling the secret hidden in her heart. From now on, she wouldn't have to suffer this torment anymore.

While Claire Bennett felt a sense of release, there was also some disappointment in her heart.

"Julian Sterling, whether you want to divorce me or be angry with me, this wasn't something I wanted. I wronged you. No matter what decision you make, I won't blame you. Let's end it here."

After Claire Bennett finished speaking, she raised a hand to cover her face. She was already streaming with tears.

What she felt at this moment was even more painful than when Ethan Sterling had dumped her.

So without even realizing it, she had already fallen deeply in love with the man before her. But having to part from him felt like her heart was being carved out.

Julian Sterling frowned slightly when he heard this.

It took him quite a while to process what Claire Bennett had just said.

He lifted his eyes to look at Claire Bennett, his gaze seeming somewhat complicated and strange. "You're saying Ethan Sterling violated you at Kinley Estate?"

"Mm." Claire Bennett did not argue, standing there and awaiting judgment.

Although she had been drugged at the time and her consciousness had been unclear, the outcome of what happened would not change. She had no way to escape the charge.

Julian Sterling asked, "Who told you that?"
