Chapter 458
The Man's About to Be Snatched Away
Ava Bennett had been waiting for a chance this whole time. Now that Julian Sterling had finished exchanging pleasantries with Old Mr. Bennett, she immediately walked gracefully in Julian Sterling's direction.
Lila Bennett had already seen Julian Sterling earlier and knew that Julian Sterling was Claire Bennett's man.
Now, seeing Ava Bennett walk up as though she was trying to do something, Lila looked down on her and also wanted badly to slap her in the face with the truth.
She immediately turned to go find Claire Bennett.
At that moment, Claire Bennett had just come out of the restroom and realized she'd actually gotten her period.
Luckily, she had brought backup supplies with her. Just as she was about to head back into the banquet hall, she saw Lila's anxious figure appear. The moment Lila saw her, she grabbed her wrist. "Claire, why were you in the restroom so long? Ava Bennett has her eye on your man. Do you know that?!"
When Claire Bennett heard Lila's words, her heart gave a violent jump.
What?
Ava Bennett had her eye on her man? What did that mean?
"Wasn't he in the lounge just now? Did he come out?"
Lila immediately said, "That's right. As soon as he came out, Ava Bennett took a liking to him. She's probably hitting on him right now. If you don't get out there, your man's going to be snatched away!"
Claire Bennett gave a light cough.
She and Julian Sterling were husband and wife, the kind who had officially registered their marriage. How could he possibly be snatched away that easily?
Still, she took out her phone and sent Julian Sterling a message.
Claire Bennett: You're out?
...
At the same time, Ava Bennett strolled up to Julian Sterling. A smile rose on her face as she said, "Young Master Sterling, hello."
Before Julian Sterling could say anything, she saw him take out his phone right in front of her.
So Ava Bennett could only wait patiently for him to deal with his own business.
When Julian Sterling saw that the message was from Claire Bennett, he immediately typed a reply: You were gone so long without any word that I was worried you'd been bullied. What, you don't want me to come out?
After getting Julian Sterling's reply, Claire Bennett immediately asked: I heard my sister Ava Bennett is next to you?
Seeing that sentence, Julian Sterling lifted his eyes and looked toward Ava Bennett.
When Ava Bennett saw Julian Sterling staring at her, she was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head shyly.
He couldn't have noticed her, could he?!
Julian Sterling continued replying: Mm. Some woman came over to say hello. I ignored her.
When Claire Bennett saw Julian Sterling's reply, she almost burst out laughing. She wasn't worried; she just thought Ava Bennett was blind.
She sent one last message: Be good and wait for me. You're not allowed to talk to other women. I'm going back right now.
After seeing the message send successfully, Claire Bennett put her phone back into her clutch.
She said to Lila Bennett, "Let's go. We're heading back."
Lila Bennett was abnormally excited. She was already impatient to watch the wonderful scene of Claire Bennett brutally slapping Ava Bennett in the face with the truth.
If Ava Bennett found out in a minute that the man she was trying to seduce was Claire Bennett's, she'd probably feel worse than if she'd eaten shit!
...
After seeing Claire Bennett's message, Julian Sterling calmly put his phone away as well.
He stood there tall and straight, his whole body giving off a distant, cold indifference that kept people from daring to approach.
But Ava Bennett didn't care. She continued trying to make conversation with Julian Sterling.
"Young Master Sterling, why did you come to my grandfather's birthday banquet today? Are we going to have some kind of partnership?"
Julian Sterling stared straight ahead and did not pay Ava Bennett any attention.
Ava Bennett felt like she was pressing her warm face against a cold ass. She had said so much just now, yet Julian Sterling hadn't responded to a single thing.
