Becoming the Bennett Family's Young Lady Again

Ava Bennett had originally been furious, but when she thought of Lena Bennett planning to deal with Claire Bennett, she calmed down.

Now, seeing Laura Bennett push Hannah Bennett to the verge of losing her temper, she hurried forward to smooth things over.

Hearing Ava Bennett's words, Hannah Bennett finally took the out she had been given. Her expression softened as she said, "Yes, I was only worried. I was afraid Claire would be too busy to handle things on her own. You've all misunderstood what I meant."

Claire Bennett saw Laura Bennett and Hannah Bennett openly and secretly fighting each other, but she did not enter their battlefield.

Her purpose in coming back was not to win some verbal sparring match.

When Victor Bennett had just proposed that she return to Bennett Group, Claire Bennett had actually hesitated for a moment and wanted to speak up to refuse, but then she suddenly thought of something and ultimately said nothing.

With Hannah Bennett stepping down along the path Ava Bennett had given her, the matter was settled just like that.

Old Mr. Bennett also didn't want his family arguing and bickering in a way that would make outsiders laugh at them. He waved his hand and said, "All right, that's settled. Claire, go take care of your resignation from Sterling International, and in a few days, join Victor's company and help out."

Claire Bennett was silent for a moment. "Yes, Grandpa."

Seeing that Claire Bennett was finally willing to come back, Victor Bennett showed a wistful expression. For all these years, Claire Bennett had always been very distant from him. Perhaps her return would be a good opportunity for the father and daughter to repair their relationship.

Claire Bennett paid no attention to the expressions of the people around her.

Since she had decided to fight for it, then she would not refuse an opportunity delivered right to her door.

She would return to Bennett Group just as openly and honorably now as she had once slunk away from it in disgrace!

It was just that this was her one-sided decision, and she still hadn't told Julian Sterling. Later, she'd have to find a chance to talk to him about it.

Aside from Ava Bennett's reasons, Claire Bennett also wanted to work hard for their future.

Although she had Julian Sterling's help at Sterling International, it was still someone else's territory. Hazel Lewis had actually been right that day. Claire Bennett's identity and status really weren't much to speak of. Even if she later won her competition with Hazel Lewis, she still might not gain Grandpa Sterling's approval. In terms of family background, she was indeed lacking.

Only by returning to the Bennett family and continuing to be the Bennett family's young heiress again would she have the qualifications to stand by Julian Sterling's side.

She hadn't had this motivation before, but now it was different.

Her goal was to become a better person and stand openly at Julian Sterling's side, so that no one could say they weren't a good match. She would work hard to close the distance between herself and Julian Sterling step by step.

A brilliant light shone in Claire Bennett's eyes. She looked confident and dazzling, the kind of sight people couldn't look away from.

Seeing that the matter had already been settled, and then seeing Claire Bennett's pleased expression, Hannah Bennett could only grind her teeth in private, nearly crushing them.

And just like that, the little disturbance passed.

The people in the banquet hall began moving around freely, and the atmosphere grew livelier and livelier.

In a corner, Hannah Bennett bit down resentfully and complained, "Ava, why did you stop me just now? That bitch Claire Bennett is not only going into the company, she's going to be on equal footing with you. When that happens, your position will be threatened!"

"Mom, if you had openly tried to stop this, Grandpa would have gotten angry. It's better to go along with it for now. Anyway, I'm the one calling the shots at the company now, so even if Claire Bennett goes in, she won't be able to stir up any trouble. Besides, I already spoke to Lena Bennett just now..."

After hearing Ava Bennett's words, Hannah Bennett's agitated mood gradually settled down.

She looked at Ava Bennett and said with emotion, "Ava, you really are your mother's pride. It's just a shame you're still a little lacking in romantic luck. If only there were an outstanding man to take care of you, then I could rest easy."

As she spoke, a commotion arose at the entrance.

Hearing the disturbance, everyone turned to look toward the door.

They saw a man in a suit walking in, holding an exquisite gift box in his hand. He looked like he had come to wish Old Mr. Sterling a happy birthday.

The man looked elegant and poised, with handsome, captivating features. His entire body radiated a noble, extraordinary aura, making quite a few of the young heiresses present swoon, pink hearts practically sparkling in their eyes.

The person who had come in was Julian Sterling.

Claire Bennett had told him to wait in the lounge, but after waiting so long without hearing anything from her, he was naturally very worried that she was being bullied, and in the end he couldn't help coming out to see how things were going.

But Julian Sterling had underestimated his own appeal.

The moment he appeared, he drew everyone's attention in the room.

Julian Sterling's gaze swept across the scene, but he didn't see Claire Bennett anywhere. His eyes narrowed slightly.

At this moment, Claire Bennett had gone to the restroom and was not in the hall.

In the end, the weight of everyone's gazes was too much for Julian Sterling to ignore, and he still had to show the proper courtesy.
