Chapter 518
Claire Bennett Used a Fake Pregnancy to Climb Her Way Up
In a corner of the banquet hall.
After what had just happened, no one spoke to Hazel Lewis anymore, and no one went near her either.
Megan Sterling, however, was an exception.
She was currently talking with Hazel Lewis away from the crowd. Everyone's attention was on their own business right now, and no one would notice the two of them, so Megan Sterling finally dared to go find Hazel Lewis.
Ever since she had learned that Claire Bennett's pregnancy was fake that day, she had been trying to find a way to expose her.
Hazel Lewis had repeatedly made a fool of herself in front of Claire Bennett this time, so the resentment she felt toward Claire Bennett had to be incredibly deep. Using her to expose Claire Bennett was the best possible move, and it wouldn't even dirty Megan Sterling's own hands.
Megan Sterling comforted Hazel Lewis for a while, saying she knew she hadn't done it on purpose and telling her not to take it to heart.
Hazel Lewis had been getting all kinds of dirty looks from the people at the banquet, and now Megan Sterling was the only one who believed her. It moved her deeply, and her opinion of Megan Sterling rose quite a bit.
"Sigh, I can't compare to Claire Bennett. The Sterling family definitely won't think much of me now," Hazel Lewis said with a dejected look on her face.
Seeing Hazel Lewis like this, a sharp glint flashed through Megan Sterling's eyes. "Hazel, actually, I have a secret to tell you."
"What secret?"
"Claire Bennett is pregnant."
Hazel Lewis stared at Megan Sterling in shock. She hadn't expected that Claire Bennett had actually already...
No wonder she had been able to enter the Sterling family. On top of that, with her status as the Bennett family's daughter, what place was left for Hazel Lewis now?
Hazel Lewis's confidence instantly hit rock bottom. She had already been feeling somewhat down, but now she was completely consumed by inferiority, feeling that she was utterly no match for Claire Bennett.
When Megan Sterling saw her expression collapse, she knew the time had come. She smiled and said, "But I happen to know a secret."
She leaned close to Hazel Lewis's ear. "Claire Bennett's belly is fake!"
Hazel Lewis's pupils contracted. She had never expected to hear such earth-shattering news.
What?
Claire Bennett's belly was fake? Was that true?
This twist had truly caught her off guard. Didn't that mean Claire Bennett had deceived everyone?
Megan Sterling said, "That day I saw Claire Bennett go in for an examination. Later, I asked the doctor and found out that Claire Bennett wasn't pregnant at all. But she lied to Grandpa and Grandma and said she was already pregnant, and that's why Grandpa and Grandma let her come into the family..."
At that point, Megan Sterling looked at Hazel Lewis. "Actually, Hazel, it's not like you have no chance at all."
Megan Sterling knew Hazel Lewis would definitely make use of this matter, so there was no need for her to say anything more.
After hearing Megan Sterling's words, excitement gradually rose in Hazel Lewis's eyes.
That's right! She still had a chance!
If they found out Claire Bennett's pregnancy was fake, if this matter were exposed in front of everyone, then even if Claire Bennett had the status of the Bennett family's daughter, she wouldn't be able to keep Old Mr. Sterling's and Old Mrs. Sterling's favor anymore, would she?
Hazel Lewis swept away her earlier dejection, her face full of excitement, as though new life had been breathed into her.
She lifted her eyes to look at Megan Sterling and said gratefully, "Megan Sterling, thank you so much. Thank you for telling me about this."
Megan Sterling smiled sweetly. "I hope you can become my sister-in-law. I'll definitely help you."
Hazel Lewis let out a cold laugh and said through gritted teeth, "I'll think about how to expose this and let everyone see Claire Bennett's true colors—using a fake pregnancy to climb her way up!"
