Claire Bennett Dazzles the Entire Room

Ever since she had left him and gotten together with Julian Sterling, she had become more and more radiant, to the point that he was almost unable to catch up to her light.

Ethan Sterling's expression gradually darkened.

Now that Claire Bennett had become the center of attention, Ruby Sterling naturally wouldn't let such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity pass by.

She immediately urged, "Claire, didn't you prepare a gift for Grandma? Hazel Lewis jumped out and interrupted earlier, but now no one's interrupting anymore, so hurry up and take it out."

Everyone had been startled by the accident just now, and hearing Ruby Sterling say that immediately drew their attention over.

Claire Bennett had actually prepared a gift for Old Mrs. Sterling?

Even Old Mrs. Sterling was a little surprised. She hadn't expected that while helping prepare her birthday banquet, Claire Bennett had also put thought into preparing a gift. She really was thoughtful.

She looked at Claire Bennett gently. "What gift did Claire get for me?"

Claire Bennett smiled lightly and unhurriedly took an exquisite box out of her bag, saying, "I don't really have anything I can give you, and there isn't anything you're lacking, so I could only give you a piece of jewelry I designed for you."

Standing in the corner, Hazel Lewis heard that Claire Bennett was also giving a piece of designed jewelry, and a trace of coldness spilled from her eyes.

Claire Bennett was giving a necklace too. Was she trying to mock the embarrassment Hazel had just made of herself?

Because things had been rushed earlier, Claire Bennett hadn't had time to find a nice box for the necklace. This box didn't look as exquisite as the one Hazel Lewis had presented earlier. It looked very ordinary.

Quite a few people were somewhat disappointed when they saw that plain box.

They felt it was probably just some mass-market item.

Old Mrs. Sterling accepted Claire Bennett's box, then opened the unremarkable-looking box in front of everyone.

Instantly, the sound of people sucking in their breath rose all around.

Everyone's attention was once again drawn to Claire Bennett's gift.

Inside the box lay a luxurious necklace in silence. It was extremely beautiful. Under the lights, the main emerald adorning the piece gave off a brilliant glow, and paired with the unique design, it captured everyone's attention at once.

Quite a few people were astonished by the design of the necklace and couldn't speak for a long while.

A lot of people had thought just now that the necklace Hazel Lewis gave was very beautiful.

But now, after seeing Claire Bennett's necklace, they felt that Hazel Lewis's really did look like a cheap knockoff in comparison, completely unable to measure up to Claire Bennett's design!

This wasn't the first time Old Mrs. Sterling had received a gift from Claire Bennett, but this design truly amazed her.

Her face full of delight, she took it out. "It's so beautiful, Claire. Did you design this yourself?"

Old Mrs. Sterling knew that Claire Bennett was the famous designer Queen. A necklace this exquisite was something only Claire Bennett could have designed.

Claire Bennett nodded lightly and said, "Yes. I used my spare time to design it especially for you."

Hearing that Claire Bennett had made time to design the necklace for her, Old Mrs. Sterling was deeply moved.

Old Mrs. Sterling had originally liked Claire Bennett very much. It was only because of Quentin Sterling's matter that a rift had formed in her heart toward her. But now she couldn't help beginning to think about whether she should really take the grudges of the previous generation out on someone of the next generation.

Perhaps it was time to let go of her prejudice.

Originally, Claire Bennett's gift was simply a gift. It might have drawn people's admiration, but it definitely would not have had the effect it was having now.

But because of Hazel Lewis's allergic incident, Claire Bennett's gift had instantly become especially eye-catching.

Someone recalled how Claire Bennett had immediately seen that there was a problem with Hazel Lewis's necklace. She must certainly have some ability of her own, so they quietly asked around to find out more.

Unexpectedly, they learned by accident that Claire Bennett actually had that hidden identity as well.

At once, quite a few people began to see Claire Bennett in a whole new light.

Those society girls who had been flattering Hazel Lewis just now all crowded around Claire Bennett in hopes of getting a piece by the famous designer Queen, chattering over one another as they tried to curry favor with her.

They had completely forgotten the things they had said to Claire Bennett while helping Hazel Lewis just moments ago.

Ruby Sterling was rendered speechless by the sight. She felt these women were really thick-skinned, able to joke and laugh with Claire Bennett without changing expression. It truly impressed her.

Claire Bennett was magnanimous enough that she didn't argue with any of them. She had to maintain her own grace.

She couldn't disgrace the Sterling family.

Seeing Claire Bennett like this, Old Mrs. Sterling nodded in praise, and a loving look appeared in her eyes.

...

At this moment, over there, Julian Sterling was standing beside Old Mr. Sterling, and the two of them were also watching in Claire Bennett's direction.

One hand in his pocket, Julian Sterling curled his lips into a faint smile and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, are you satisfied with Claire?"

When Old Mr. Sterling heard Julian Sterling's words, he gave an irritated cold snort.
