Disgracing the Sterling Family

"What are you going to do?"

Ruby Sterling looked at Cameron Quinn with pleading eyes and said pitifully, "Cameron Quinn, don't expose me. Please."

Seeing Ruby Sterling's big black-and-white eyes, sparkling as if countless little stars were twinkling inside them, Cameron Quinn sighed helplessly and said, "Fine. I won't expose you, but you have to explain things clearly to your grandpa and grandma yourself."

Ruby Sterling smiled. She walked toward Old Master Sterling, Old Madam Sterling, Mr. Sterling, Mrs. Sterling, and the others, and said, "Actually, the one who got hurt was my brother. He was distracted because of the divorce from Claire, and then he got hit by a car!"

"What!"

Everyone's expressions changed at the same time. None of them had expected Julian Sterling to have gotten into such a serious accident.

Mrs. Sterling let out a scream and collapsed into Mr. Sterling's arms, and he hurriedly caught her.

Old Master Sterling's face turned deathly pale, and Old Madam Sterling didn't look well either. The whole place fell into chaos. Seeing the scene before her, the instigator, Ruby Sterling, sighed helplessly: Sorry, but for her big brother's future happiness, she could only lie and deceive them.

After hearing Ruby Sterling's words, Old Master Sterling's face instantly darkened, and he pressed his lips together tightly.

Was he really willing to live or die for that woman? Was she really that good?

Seeing him like this, Ruby Sterling quickly said, "Grandpa, I think my brother is sincere about Claire. Otherwise, why don't you stop standing in their way and let this loving couple be together?"

Old Master Sterling flew into a rage and said with a dark face, "Let them be together? Together for what? He turned himself into this over a woman, and you still have the nerve to say that? I think that woman should get the hell away from him, the farther the better!"

Being bewitched by a woman to the point of living or dying for her is a disgrace to the Sterling family!

After hearing Old Master Sterling's words, Ruby Sterling spoke up despite the danger: "Grandpa, honestly, since my brother can do this much for Claire, why don't you just let them go? Wouldn't it be nice to let lovers finally become husband and wife? If you keep this up, maybe my brother will never marry for the rest of his life. What are we supposed to do then?"

Hearing Ruby Sterling's words, Old Madam Sterling's brows knit tightly together. She always felt uneasy.

Now that she had heard all this, she couldn't help growing tense inside. After all, what she worried about most was Julian Sterling's future.

It was obvious that this grandson really liked Claire Bennett. If he really ended up miserable for the rest of his life because of Claire Bennett, then what?

Old Master Sterling could tell that Old Madam Sterling's heart was softening. He gave a cold snort and said, "What are you doing? Have you forgotten that Qingyuan is still lying in the hospital? You want to let that woman into the family?"

Thinking of her ill-fated son, Old Madam Sterling instantly turned cold again.

"Hmph. Come on, let's go see that brat."

After saying that, Old Master Sterling clasped his hands behind his back and strode away. Old Madam Sterling let out a sigh and followed close behind.

Ruby Sterling saw that she had almost succeeded in turning them just now, but Old Master Sterling still hadn't softened. It was really one misstep short, and she couldn't help slapping her thigh.

Cameron Quinn lowered his eyes and glanced at Ruby Sterling, then said, "Actually, if you want your grandpa and the others to agree to your brother being with Miss Bennett, it's not like there's no way. It's just that the method is a little unethical."

At Cameron Quinn's words, Ruby Sterling whipped her head around to look at him. "What did you say? What method? Hurry up and tell me."

Ruby Sterling stepped forward and enthusiastically, proactively started kneading Cameron Quinn's shoulders. "Big Brother Cameron, if you really have a way to get my brother and Claire together, then from now on I'll be your lackey. I'll work like a horse and an ox for you to repay you. I'll do whatever you order!"

She was just short of swearing to heaven. She was extremely sincere.

Looking at the woman in front of him who said she would work like a horse and an ox for him, Cameron Quinn couldn't help curling his lips into a smile.

Had it never occurred to her to do anything else?

Qin Ning crooked a finger at Ruby Sterling, signaling for her to come closer so he could speak. Ruby Sterling obediently stuck her little head over. Seeing the delicate little face so close at hand, and that fair, tender skin that looked soft enough to break at a touch, Cameron Quinn's heart stirred.

He really wanted to kiss her, but unfortunately he couldn't.

Cameron Quinn suppressed the thoughts in his heart and quietly whispered something in Ruby Sterling's ear. Ruby Sterling first widened her eyes in shock, then looked suddenly enlightened, and then smiled slyly.

...

Inside the hospital room.

Claire Bennett had just accompanied Julian Sterling through all the examinations. The doctor had said there was nothing seriously wrong with him, and now they were resting here for a while.

With only the two of them left, the atmosphere felt somewhat awkward.

Claire Bennett glanced at Julian Sterling. He looked a little haggard. They had obviously only not seen each other for two days. Could it be that he was having a hard time because of their divorce?

Back when he had Marcus Reed deliver the divorce agreement, he clearly hadn't shown up and had acted as if he really wanted to separate from her. Yet now the one reluctant to let go had become him. He had even brought Ruby Sterling to monitor her having dinner with someone else, and had gotten hit by a car outside the restaurant.

Claire Bennett didn't know what to say.

"How are you feeling? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?" In the end, Claire Bennett still asked about his condition.

Julian Sterling met Claire Bennett's eyes. In the end, he didn't say a word. He simply stood up and pulled Claire Bennett into his arms, resting his head on her shoulder as he greedily and fondly breathed in all of her scent.
