Chapter 419
He Actually Dared to Set His Sights on His Woman
Claire Bennett apologized sincerely, feeling that what she had said just now really had been a little inappropriate.
Julian Sterling's expression softened. He reached out, pulled Claire Bennett into his arms, and said softly, "This isn't as bad as it seems. Don't worry. It'll definitely be resolved."
Claire Bennett leaned against Julian Sterling's chest, listening to his strong, steady heartbeat.
She felt even more regretful inside that the words she had said just now had hurt Julian Sterling.
Not only did he believe there was nothing going on between her and Ian Walsh, he was even comforting her now, saying this matter would be resolved, while all she had been thinking about was leaving him.
She should pull herself together and deal with this matter too.
Claire Bennett said emotionally, "You're really too good to me. I really shouldn't have said those things to you just now."
Julian Sterling's eyes flickered slightly. He reached out and gave her waist a squeeze, then asked meaningfully, "So how are you planning to make it up to me?"
"Make it up to you?" Claire Bennett asked in surprise.
Make it up for what?
However, before Claire Bennett could even come back to her senses, she had already been carried into the bedroom over his shoulder.
...
That night, in the study.
Julian Sterling was wearing a bathrobe, his hair still slightly damp, as he sat on the sofa making a phone call with a cold expression.
Claire Bennett had already fallen asleep from exhaustion before he came out to the study to take the call.
Marcus Reed told Julian Sterling everything he had found in his investigation, point by point.
"Mr. Sterling, we've pretty much finished looking into Ian Walsh. His wife, Jasmine Kane, is the daughter of the Kane family in New York. Although Jasmine Kane has a pretty nice-sounding name, she's..."
Marcus Reed gave a light cough before saying steadily, "But she's a two-hundred-pound fat woman. Ian Walsh married Jasmine Kane to mooch off her. With a woman like that by his side, it's only natural he'd be lusting after other women..."
Julian Sterling's brows furrowed slightly, and a vicious aura rose between them. He actually dared to set his sights on his woman.
He said in a low voice, "Continue."
Marcus Reed hurriedly continued, "Although the Kane family are nouveau riche, they do have a bit of money in New York. By investing in Bennett Group as one of its shareholders, they arranged for Ian Walsh to enter Bennett Group. With the Kane family's help, Ian Walsh got into Bennett Group and became an executive."
Julian Sterling listened in silence, his eyes icy.
"Back when Miss Bennett's identity hadn't been made public, after she entered Bennett Group, Ian Walsh didn't know she was the Bennett family's daughter, so he wanted to use his position to make Miss Bennett his mistress."
At this point, even through the phone, Marcus Reed could feel Julian Sterling's icy presence pressing over him.
To avoid causing serious consequences, he hurriedly went on, "In the end, Miss Bennett of course didn't agree. Later, Ian Walsh was afraid Claire Bennett would spread this matter around and tell the Kane family, so he deliberately spread rumors that Miss Bennett was the one who seduced him first."
"Mr. Sterling, that's roughly the situation. It's not like there's no way to solve it now. We just need to find Ian Walsh and have him come forward to explain."
With Julian Sterling's status, Ian Walsh wouldn't dare refuse.
Once he came out and explained, everything would become completely clear, and it wouldn't cause any impact.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Julian Sterling said in a low voice, "No need. Make the arrangements. I'm going to the Kane family tomorrow."
Since Ian Walsh had dared to provoke Claire Bennett, Julian Sterling had no intention of letting him off.
If Ian Walsh came out to explain, in the end he wouldn't suffer any consequences. But if Julian Sterling personally went to the Kane family, then the outcome would be very different.
"Yes, I'll make the arrangements right away."
After getting off work, Sienna Shaw had originally wanted to go find Ian Walsh with Molly Lee.
But she suddenly remembered that she still had to bring Wes Mercer his meal.
She had already been delivering meals to him for so many days that he was probably used to eating them by now. If she went to find Ian Walsh today, there was no telling when they would be back. Wes Mercer might even go hungry.
"Molly, I'm afraid we'll have to go find Ian Walsh a little later. I suddenly remembered that I have something very important to do."
"What is it?"
Sienna Shaw told Molly Lee everything about how, during that time they had eaten together before, Wes Mercer had asked her to bring him meals.
In the blink of an eye, Sienna Shaw had already brought Wes Mercer meals several times. She was a very responsible person. Once she had started doing something, she would not quit halfway. But Claire Bennett's matter was also very important now, so she still had to ask Molly Lee what she thought.
"It's fine. We can go bring him his meal first and then go after that."
Molly Lee agreed without hesitation.
After all, they were colleagues at the same company. She wasn't so cold-hearted. It was just that Molly Lee had never expected to see such an unexpected scene...
The two of them went to the market to buy groceries, then headed to Sienna Shaw's home. After helping each other cook, they brought the food to the hospital.
After several days of treatment, Wes Mercer had recovered quite well. On top of that, he'd been in an especially good mood lately, and he had practically recovered already.
He had long since been able to get out of bed and walk around. The doctor had even said that if nothing was wrong, he could be discharged and go home to recuperate.
It was only because Wes Mercer had recently grown attached to eating the food Sienna Shaw made that he had been slow to leave the hospital. Every day he just looked forward to Sienna Shaw coming to bring him food. Even he himself didn't know what was going on with him.
This should have been the time for Sienna Shaw to come deliver his meal, but she was still nowhere to be seen.
