My Father-in-Law and Mother-in-Law Came Looking for Me

as things developed and the mood inside Sterling International shifted, they went from initial doubt to growing suspicion, and finally decided to go find Claire Bennett and ask her about it clearly.

It wasn't that they were going to question Claire Bennett. Rather, they were worried that Julian Sterling had, for the first time, fallen for a girl, and had even broken with the Sterling family for her, yet she had that kind of past. If Old Mr. Sterling got angry when the time came, the one who would get hurt would probably be Julian Sterling.

As his parents, they also wanted what was best for their son.

Before long, they found Claire Bennett's office.

The moment Claire Bennett saw Julian's father and mother, her heart instantly sank. She had already guessed why the two of them had come.

She invited them into her office.

When Molly Lee brought them tea, she secretly stole a glance at this middle-aged couple who had Claire Bennett acting like she was facing a formidable enemy.

They were dressed in refined, tasteful clothes, and carried themselves with calm nobility. She had no idea who they were.

At that moment, Claire Bennett spoke first. She said, "Dad, Mom, I know you've come because of my matter..."

Molly Lee suddenly understood. So these two were parents.

But she had never heard Claire Bennett mention her own parents, so maybe they were her father-in-law and mother-in-law. This kind of thing was too unfavorable for a woman. What in-law family wouldn't mind their daughter-in-law's dark past?

Feeling uneasy, she went out, then found Sienna Shaw and told her about it.

After hearing it, Sienna Shaw's expression darkened. Before marrying her father, her mother had had a not-so-respectable romance, and after her father's family found out, they had never treated her well.

In the end, she was even driven out of the house. That was why life had been so hard for the mother and daughter, to the point that she had no money for medical treatment.

She knew all too well what kind of consequences this could cause.

Worry showed in Molly Lee's eyes as she said, "Designer Sienna, Manager Claire probably doesn't have any solution either, right? She even comforted us and told us not to worry, but actually she's bearing all the pressure by herself. Now her mother-in-law and father-in-law have come to her door. Maybe this matter won't pass so easily."

As she spoke, her eyes reddened, and she felt deeply worried for Claire Bennett.

Sienna Shaw said in a low voice, "I don't think we can just sit here and wait. Let's help Manager Claire!"

Hearing that, Molly Lee looked at Sienna Shaw in surprise and asked, "How are you planning to help?"

Sienna Shaw said, "The root of all this lies with Ian Walsh. What happened between him and Manager Claire back then was originally just a misunderstanding. If he can come forward and explain things clearly, then this matter won't have any impact."

After saying that, she looked at Molly Lee and said, "Let's go talk to Ian Walsh."

Molly Lee nodded. "Okay, then let's go together tonight after work."

"I'll check where Ian Walsh is."

Without Claire Bennett knowing, Sienna Shaw and Molly Lee had already made their decision. They planned to go find Ian Walsh. If the negotiation succeeded, they would be able to ease Claire Bennett's worries.

...

At this moment, inside the office.

Claire Bennett's expression was grave. After considering her words, she said, "Dad, Mom, I know you've come because of Ian Walsh, but I have conducted myself honorably and done nothing wrong. I can tell you clearly that there is absolutely nothing between him and me. I hope you can believe me."

At present, Claire Bennett had no evidence to prove her innocence, so all she could do was firmly deny it.

At this moment, she was incredibly uneasy, not knowing whether her father-in-law and mother-in-law would believe her.

Actually, Claire Bennett really had no confidence.

If Julian's father and mother didn't believe her, then there was nothing she could do except accept that fact.

Julian's father and mother had originally had some doubts in their hearts, but seeing how sincere Claire Bennett looked, they felt she didn't seem like she was guiltily deceiving them. Perhaps there really was more to it?

The tense expressions on their faces slowly softened.

In the end, after some reassurance from Claire Bennett, the two elders did not say anything more. They only told Claire Bennett not to worry, and that if there was anything she couldn't handle, she should come to them.

Hearing the warmth in Julian's father and mother's words, Claire Bennett felt a surge of emotion in her heart.

Her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Julian were all so good to her. At that moment, she became even more determined not to drag them down. She would bear all the pain by herself.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work. During that time, Claire Bennett had been thinking the whole time about how to handle this matter, but she still had no answer.

But there was still no good way to resolve this unless Willow Lane personally came out and admitted that she had smeared her, or someone from Bennett Group came forward to speak up for her.

But Willow Lane had come after her in the first place, so how could she possibly speak up for her?

As for Bennett Group, there was even less need to think about that. It was already good enough that her stepmother and stepsister hadn't stomped her to death with one foot.

Claire Bennett looked worried. Just then, her phone rang. It was a message from Julian saying that he was already downstairs waiting for her.

She hurriedly packed up her things. "I'm heading back first. You two should get off work early too."

"Okay, goodbye, Manager Claire." Sienna Shaw and Molly Lee waved goodbye to Claire Bennett.

They didn't tell Claire Bennett what they were planning to do, because if she knew, she definitely would not agree to let them do it.

After Claire Bennett left, the two exchanged a look and also began packing up, preparing to head to Ian Walsh's residence.
