The Only Thing Hazel Lewis Is Proud Of

Claire Bennett couldn't help feeling a little worried, afraid something bad might come of it.

But her attention was quickly drawn to something else. Aside from what had happened to her, the thing getting even more attention was probably Willow Lane.

Sterling International's internal group chat was extremely lively.

Wes Mercer was the first to jump out and post an announcement.

He explained the messages about how he'd been helping handle matters using Julian Sterling's identity during this period, saying briefly that Julian Sterling wasn't in a position to show himself, so he had asked him to do it.

He didn't mention that everyone had mistaken him for Julian Sterling, only said that someone had misidentified him, and to avoid causing misunderstandings, he was making this public statement.

After that, he said a few things about himself and Willow Lane.

Actually, ever since Willow Lane had smugly shown off that she was Mr. Sterling's girlfriend, quite a few people at Sterling International had already been dissatisfied with her. Now, putting together what Wes Mercer said and the fact that the moment Willow Lane learned she'd mistaken Wes Mercer, she immediately dumped him, it was obvious she was a woman with explosively terrible character who fawned over the powerful and trampled on the weak.

At this point, at most it would only have been a matter of bad character.

Later, Wes Mercer released another video: hotel surveillance footage of Willow Lane going to see Ian Walsh.

She stayed in the hotel room a long time before leaving.

Ian Walsh was the one who had kidnapped Claire Bennett, and Willow Lane had gone to see Ian Walsh, so that meant those two had colluded to frame Claire Bennett. As for their motive, it was Willow Lane's jealousy of Claire Bennett.

Not only had Willow Lane's reputation been utterly ruined, she was also facing the risk of being arrested along with Ian Walsh.

At this point, the matter could be considered to have reached a perfect conclusion.

Claire Bennett felt a sigh of emotion in her heart. She had originally kept wondering what kind of terrible taste Mr. Sterling had to go after a woman like Willow Lane, and who would have thought the gossip would end up being about herself.

From beginning to end, it had all been a misunderstanding.

Willow Lane's matter was resolved, but there was still Hazel Lewis!

She had also been coveting Julian Sterling, always trying every possible way to steal him away. First Willow Lane, then Hazel Lewis. Claire Bennett felt rather helpless. How many love rivals did she actually have?

After resting at the Sterling family home for three days, Claire Bennett finally went back to work.

On her first day back, she received an extremely high level of attention. After all, Julian Sterling's identity was just too powerful.

That evening after work, Claire Bennett and Hazel Lewis ran into each other head-on in the elevator.

When romantic rivals meet, their eyes turn especially red.

Of course they weren't going to start fighting right there, but a silent battle was definitely unavoidable.

Hazel Lewis secretly sized Claire Bennett up, then suddenly sneered coldly, "A woman like you with no status at all will never be able to enter the Sterling family. You won't be smug for much longer, either."

This was the only thing Hazel Lewis was proud of: compared to Claire Bennett, her family background was better!

Claire Bennett curled her lips slightly. "The Sterling family door is pretty easy to enter. I've been sleeping at the Sterling family home these past few days. Got a problem with that?"

Claire Bennett had never been the type to swallow her anger. Now that her love rival had come right up to her face to mock her, she had to make sure to piss her off to death.
