So Claire Bennett Wasn't Pregnant After All

The next day, Claire Bennett deliberately found a private hospital.

After paying the fee, she went through a whole series of tests. While nervously waiting for the results, she ran through every possible future in her mind.

Finally, it was her turn to go in and see the doctor.

Claire Bennett sat uneasily in the office and looked at the doctor as she asked, "Doctor, is there anything wrong with my body?"

The doctor smiled and said, "Miss Bennett, your body is very healthy. You just need to relax."

After hearing the doctor's words, Claire Bennett let out a sigh of relief.

Great! The examination showed that there was nothing wrong with her body at all.

For a moment, Claire Bennett didn't know whether to feel happy or upset. If there was nothing wrong with her, then didn't that mean the problem might be with Julian Sterling? Or maybe neither of them had any problem, and the time just hadn't come yet?

Claire Bennett left full of worries, holding her test report in her hand.

After she left, someone stepped out from around the corner. It was Megan Sterling.

She had originally come today to accompany her best friend for an examination, but she hadn't expected to run into Claire Bennett getting checked here. Was she here for a prenatal exam? But the Sterling family had their own hospital. If Claire Bennett were getting an exam, she definitely would have gone to their own hospital, so how could she have run off to a little place like this?

That day, she had already felt that something was off about Claire Bennett's pregnancy.

Now that she thought about it carefully, could it be that she...

Megan Sterling's eyes suddenly darkened. She used money and influence to bribe the hospital doctor, and very quickly got Claire Bennett's results.

When Megan Sterling saw the examination results, she let out a cold laugh.

So Claire Bennett wasn't pregnant after all!

Originally, she had been afraid that what she was planning to do wouldn't successfully force Claire Bennett to leave the Sterling family. But now that she knew Claire Bennett wasn't pregnant, things would be much easier. The reason Grandpa and Grandma could accept Claire Bennett was because of her child. If they found out Claire Bennett's child was fake, then what?

A cold sneer curved lightly across Megan Sterling's lips.

She was going to expose this properly at the most suitable moment!

Thinking that the old madam's birthday banquet was almost here, she wondered what would happen if Claire Bennett's fake pregnancy were exposed at such an important occasion. By then, Claire Bennett would probably be resented by them, wouldn't she?

A look of contempt appeared in Megan Sterling's eyes as she walked away carelessly.

Over the next few days, Claire Bennett was busy helping Old Madam Sterling prepare for the birthday banquet. Although Old Madam Sterling had said she should help, in reality she was only handling things like the guest list. None of the heavy work was given to her.

Claire Bennett was actually quite relaxed, and in the blink of an eye, Old Madam Sterling's birthday banquet arrived.

From the start of the day of the banquet, the entire Sterling family was bustling with activity.

As time passed second by second, the Sterling family home also started to grow lively.

Today, all the members of the Sterling family had returned. Old Madam Sterling, dressed in festive red, was smiling as she greeted the guests.

Old Master Sterling had still not fully acknowledged Claire Bennett's status. Seeing so many people, his eyes darkened heavily.

If Claire Bennett came out later and people asked about her, what were they supposed to say?

If Claire Bennett's status was announced, then in the end the one losing face would still be the Sterling family!

As Old Master Sterling thought this, his expression turned stern. With his hands clasped behind his back, he walked toward the upstairs lounge. At that moment, Claire Bennett was just about to change clothes and go downstairs when there was a knock at the door. She thought someone was urging her to go greet the guests.

But when she opened the door, she discovered that Old Master Sterling was standing outside.

He looked at Claire Bennett with a dark expression and said, "You're changing clothes? No need to change. Don't go downstairs later. Just stay upstairs. If you want anything to eat later, have someone bring it up to you."

After saying that, Old Master Sterling didn't wait for Claire Bennett's reply and turned to go downstairs.

Claire Bennett was still holding the dress she had been about to change into, staring blankly in the direction Old Master Sterling had left.

She hadn't expected to be ordered not to appear in front of everyone. Did he think she was embarrassing?

But knowing that Grandpa Sterling was dissatisfied with her, Claire Bennett only laughed at herself.

Anyway, she was tired of dealing with so many guests, so it was just as well not to go downstairs.

Although Claire Bennett felt a little disappointed, her mood was still all right, and she wasn't too upset. She turned on the TV and sat down to watch it.

...

At the same time, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was growing more and more lively.

Julian Sterling had changed into a suit. He truly was one of God's favorites. The custom-made suit on him cinched his lean waist, making it look taut and powerful, and his whole person gave off the noble air of a wealthy young master.

Back when Julian Sterling had hidden his identity, even wearing cheap, shoddy suits had been unable to suppress his breathtakingly handsome face.
