How Could It Possibly Be Ava Bennett's Turn

Everyone almost believed that the Bennett family would belong to Victor Bennett in the future.

As a result, people were also very polite to Ava Bennett and Hannah Bennett, mother and daughter, and some lower-status wives were even openly flattering them.

When Laura Bennett saw how exaggerated everyone's praise of Ava Bennett and Hannah Bennett was, her expression remained calm, but inwardly she let out a cold snort.

She had already called Claire Bennett, and Claire Bennett had said on the phone that she would come back. Once Claire Bennett arrived later, Laura wanted to see how this mother and daughter pair could keep looking so pleased with themselves.

Laura Bennett wasn't trying to help Claire Bennett. Rather, she wanted to use Claire Bennett's situation to suppress Victor Bennett's whole family. With Claire Bennett dragging them down, they would definitely lose all face in Chicago.

Thinking this, Laura Bennett turned her gaze toward the entrance and quietly waited for Claire Bennett to arrive.

Several rich wives fixed their eyes on Ava Bennett.

Today she was wearing a custom couture gown, her features enhanced with exquisite makeup, and her long hair swept up high. Her whole person radiated an air of nobility.

Especially the beautifully designed necklace around her slender neck, which made her shine like the stars. Victor Bennett had started out with a jewelry company, and Ava Bennett herself was a well-known jewelry designer. Everyone in New York knew that.

"Ava, did you design the necklace you're wearing yourself?"

Ava Bennett lifted a hand and touched it. "That's right. I designed it myself."

"It's so beautiful!"

"I was wondering why I hadn't seen anyone else wearing the same one. So you designed it yourself."

"Ava's the backbone of Bennett Group now, isn't she? She's managed Bennett Group so well. Who says women are inferior to men? I think Ava is incredible."

Several rich wives showered Ava Bennett with praise, and Hannah Bennett responded modestly, "Not at all. Ava still hasn't done enough. Please, don't praise her so much."

Knowing the Bennett family's situation, they deliberately buttered up Hannah Bennett. Glancing at Lila Bennett beside Laura Bennett, one of them smiled and said, "Lila's not bad either. If Ava inherits the Bennett family business in the future, with Lila helping her at her side, Bennett Group will definitely rise to an even greater level."

Those words made Laura Bennett's face darken.

It still wasn't certain whose hands Bennett Group would fall into. Just because Victor Bennett was more capable than his brothers, did that mean Bennett Group would definitely be his in the future?

She sneered. "Really? Old Mr. Bennett still hasn't announced who the Bennett family will be inherited by, so how do you already know it'll definitely be Ava Bennett? Why couldn't it be my Lila? And besides..."

Laura Bennett gave a mocking smile and said darkly, "Even if it is inherited, it should go to the eldest daughter. Victor Bennett has an eldest daughter too, Claire Bennett. How could it possibly be Ava Bennett's turn!"

The moment those words came out, both Ava Bennett and Hannah Bennett changed expression.

They had been afraid before that Claire Bennett would fight them over the family property, which was why they had tried every possible way to drive her off in anger. Now that she had already slunk away for so many years, what right did she still have to speak?

Seeing how ugly the Bennett family's expressions had become, no one dared say anything more.

Hannah Bennett took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart.

She forced a stiff smile and said, "Back then, Claire Bennett threw a tantrum at home and ran off on her own. No one even knows where she went. That child has always been a headache. How could she possibly be heir material for the Bennett family?"

Ava Bennett immediately followed with a sigh. "Exactly. I've tried contacting my sister so many times over the years, but she just doesn't want to come back. I don't know what else to do. For Grandpa's birthday this time, I already called her, but she still refused to come back..."

In an instant, the two of them pinned the labels of unfilial and willful on Claire Bennett, immediately ruining everyone's impression of her and making them think she was just an unreasonable, spoiled heiress.

Only Laura Bennett knew the dark thoughts in that mother and daughter's hearts.

They had called Claire Bennett?

More likely, they couldn't wait for her not to show up!

When Laura Bennett had called Claire Bennett, it was obvious Claire Bennett knew nothing about this. Laura had originally wanted to provoke them by telling them Claire Bennett would be coming, but after thinking it over, if she said it now, then later she wouldn't get to see their ugly expressions.

In the end, she held herself back.

When Hannah Bennett and Ava Bennett saw that Laura Bennett had swallowed it, faint smiles curled at their lips.

She wanted to use Claire Bennett to make them lose face? What a joke!

Ava Bennett and Hannah Bennett sighed in unison and started badmouthing Claire Bennett's past all over again.

For example, how she fought with Ava Bennett over things, made Ava move into a small room to sleep, acted spoiled with Victor Bennett to get into the company, only to cause a major accident there, and so on.

Against that backdrop, the charming and beautiful Ava Bennett practically seemed like a fairy descending to earth, completely crushing Claire Bennett in every way.

Seeing the situation, which Laura Bennett had steered off course, reverse all at once, Hannah Bennett secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That little bitch Claire Bennett had been driven away by them. How could she possibly come back to fight for anything!

Seeing Ava Bennett and Hannah Bennett looking smug again, a dark look flashed through Laura Bennett's eyes, and she quietly turned and left.
