Don't Let Just Any Woman Into the House

She asked curiously, "Grandpa, are Miss Bennett and Julian coming back for dinner? I didn't expect it to be so lively today. We just happened to come back at the same time."

After all, there usually wasn't anyone else at the Sterling estate.

But if the Sterling family was having a gathering, why hadn't there been any notice at all?

The old master pressed his lips together, somewhat unwilling to admit that he had Julian Sterling bring Claire Bennett back to live at the Sterling family home because he was worried she wasn't taking proper care of his future great-grandchild.

The old madam beside him said with a smile, "Hasn't Claire been pregnant lately? Your grandfather and I thought it would be better for them to live closer so it'd be easier for us to help take care of her, so we had them move back to the Sterling family home."

As soon as the old madam finished speaking, everyone present was shocked.

In the hearts of the Sterling family's uncles, alarm rose. Julian Sterling had gotten married without a sound, and now there was even a child on the way so quickly. For the Sterling family's assets in the future, that was extremely advantageous.

After all, one more person meant one more share of the inheritance.

With how much the old master favored Julian Sterling, there was even less need to say more.

It had to be said that Julian Sterling's move was truly brilliant. Could it be that he knew the Sterling family had been unsettled lately, that they were all secretly competing with each other, so he had used this tactic?

Ethan Sterling was deeply shocked, and his eyes turned gloomy.

He hadn't expected Claire Bennett to be pregnant.

Claire Bennett should originally have been his. It was all because Julian Sterling had taken Claire Bennett away, and Julian Sterling had even used every trick in the book against him because of Claire Bennett.

Unwillingness and anger surged up.

There was also a dark helplessness from being inferior to Julian Sterling, and it was eating away at Ethan Sterling.

He was definitely going to vent this hatred viciously!

Megan Sterling hadn't expected Julian Sterling to bring Claire Bennett back to live with the Sterling family. She knew the old master was extremely dissatisfied with Claire Bennett.

What happened last time had also successfully worsened their relationship a little more.

But in the end, she still hadn't succeeded in dealing with Claire Bennett.

But now that Julian Sterling had brought Claire Bennett back, and she'd be around the old master all day, was he trying to take the opportunity to erase the rift between Claire Bennett and the old master?

That was not a good thing. It looked like she would have to think of a way to deal with it.

Megan Sterling was secretly plotting in her heart, but none of it showed on her face. She wore an innocent, harmless expression that made her look very naive and not aggressive in the slightest.

Ruby Sterling, on the other hand, felt that Megan Sterling seemed a little strange.

Actually, she and this cousin Megan Sterling weren't that close to begin with. Their personalities were different, and they couldn't really get along.

Ruby Sterling actually got along better with someone like Claire Bennett, which was why she'd turned Claire Bennett into her sister-in-law.

She couldn't help feeling worried about whether Claire Bennett coming back to the Sterling family was really a good thing.

Unfortunately, she'd been busy preparing for the wedding lately, so she couldn't move back and stay here too. It seemed she could only remind Claire Bennett later to be careful.

...

Julian Sterling walked in with Claire Bennett.

The two of them looked extremely well matched in appearance, and the sight of them walking side by side was very pleasing to the eye, like a sweet young married couple deeply in love.

When Megan Sterling and Ethan Sterling saw them, both their expressions turned ugly.

Julian Sterling hadn't expected so many people to be here today, especially Ethan Sterling. The corners of his lips curled into a faint smile, his expression calm and unreadable, as he said lightly, "Grandpa, Claire and I are here."

The old master said to a servant nearby, "Are their rooms ready yet? Put Julian's luggage in the room."

The servant nodded and left.

Claire Bennett hadn't expected Ethan Sterling to be here either, and inwardly she cursed her bad luck.

What had happened between Ethan Sterling and her couldn't be erased. Now that she was with Julian Sterling, the only thing she could do was face it calmly.

She had done nothing to wrong Ethan Sterling. On the contrary, Ethan Sterling had wronged her first.

Julian Sterling seemed to sense her unease and reached out to take her hand. He said to Claire Bennett in a low voice, "Come on, let's go see whether you like the room."

As soon as he finished speaking, Julian Sterling led Claire Bennett away.

Claire Bennett and Julian Sterling were in the room.

The Sterling estate was huge, and the room arranged for Julian Sterling and Claire Bennett was also very large. It was decorated with exceptional refinement, and there was really nothing to criticize. Claire Bennett actually had no dissatisfaction at all, and she also knew that Julian Sterling had deliberately used that excuse just now to take her away.

She had been a little stunned when she saw Ethan Sterling just now, and thinking about it now, she also felt it hadn't been very good.

Most importantly... she was worried Julian Sterling would mind.

Claire Bennett still couldn't hold back.

"Julian Sterling..." She gently bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Ethan Sterling will probably appear here often from now on, and we might run into each other again. Is that really okay?"
