Chapter 455
Let Claire Bennett Join Bennett Group
The atmosphere at the birthday banquet eased up. Although there had been a few small mishaps with the gifts, fortunately nothing major had gone wrong.
The only ones who felt upset inside were Ava Bennett and Hannah Bennett.
Because of the gift Claire Bennett had given him, Old Mr. Bennett had gained face in front of his old friends. After all, even Old Mr. Wu could only use incense made by Master Ziyun's apprentice now, while he was using incense personally made by Master Ziyun. Naturally, the effect was completely different.
He hadn't expected Claire Bennett to be so thoughtful. This child really had put her heart into it.
When Old Mr. Bennett looked at Claire Bennett, there was now a little more affection in his eyes.
Just now, when Victor Bennett had suggested letting Claire Bennett come back to work at Bennett Group, he had thought it was a good idea. After all, she was still one of the Bennett family children. If she kept drifting around outside, wouldn't that make them a laughingstock?
Old Mr. Bennett pondered for a moment, then said, "Since Victor has already brought it up, Claire, then come back and join Bennett Group."
As soon as those words fell, Ava Bennett and Hannah Bennett's expressions changed at the same time.
Victor Bennett had only brought it up casually just now, and they had still been holding onto a bit of hope, thinking Old Mr. Bennett might not agree to the request. They never expected that just because of one sleep-aid incense, Old Mr. Bennett would actually let Claire Bennett come back.
Ava Bennett had stepped away for a few seconds just now and egged Lena Bennett on to go after Claire Bennett, and she'd barely had two seconds to feel smug.
Damn it!
If Claire Bennett came back and entered Bennett Group, wouldn't her status be affected?
No! She had to think of every possible way to get Claire Bennett out. She absolutely couldn't let her enter Bennett Group!
Laura Bennett couldn't wait for someone to stand against Hannah Bennett and Ava Bennett.
Besides, the Bennett Group Claire Bennett would be entering wasn't actually the real Bennett Group, but Victor Bennett's jewelry company.
It wouldn't affect her own position either, and she could even watch Claire Bennett and Ava Bennett fight each other to the death. Why wouldn't she be happy to see that?
With that in mind, Laura Bennett said encouragingly, "Dad, I also agree that Claire should return to Bennett Group. During the time Claire was away from the Bennett family, she wasn't doing very well. She suffered quite a bit outside."
"If you feel sorry for her, then let her be a manager too. Let Claire and Ava Bennett be on equal footing. That way it would be fairer!"
Hannah Bennett couldn't listen anymore and quickly said, "A manager isn't that easy to be. What it takes isn't just education, but also the ability to manage a department. If Claire becomes a manager the moment she gets there, I'm afraid some people won't accept it."
Hearing Hannah Bennett's words, Laura Bennett let out a cold laugh.
It seemed that after Hannah Bennett had driven Claire Bennett out back then, she had never cared about what happened to her again. Did she not know that Claire Bennett was also a manager at Sterling International now?
Sterling International was also part of Sterling Group's holdings, not much worse than their Bennett family.
She smiled and said, "If you hadn't driven Claire Bennett away back then, the manager position would probably be hers now."
When Hannah Bennett heard that, she completely exploded and immediately snapped back, "Don't talk nonsense! When did I ever drive Claire Bennett away? She obviously left on her own!"
Laura Bennett continued mockingly, "Sister-in-law, I know that as a stepmother you don't care about Claire, but you still can't stop her from entering the company. Claire is a manager at Sterling International now. Sterling International is the Sterling family's company. Could someone with no ability get in there?"
Hearing that, the people around them all looked at Claire Bennett in surprise.
"Claire Bennett works at Sterling International? Then she really does have pretty good ability."
"Yeah, Sterling International isn't simple either. I heard that besides educational requirements, all the other standards are high too."
"Then she's completely qualified to be a manager. And Claire Bennett is one of the Bennett family. Can't they relax the requirements a little for one of their own? Why make it like a real recruitment process?"
"Hannah Bennett is the stepmother. Stepmothers usually don't like the first wife's children."
"Sigh, then her mind really is narrow enough!"
