Let's Use Some Harsh Measures

"Dad, Claire Bennett is so full of herself right now. She's really not easy to deal with."

Daniel Lewis said with a dark expression, "That woman is actually from the Bennett family! How could she possibly be from the Bennett family? It threw everything out of our control. Not only did we fail to ruin her reputation, we ended up getting even more dirty looks ourselves."

It was something he had never expected. Claire Bennett's status now was far above that of the Lewis family.

On top of that, after what had just happened, Hazel Lewis was completely no match for Claire Bennett.

Everything he had once taken pride in about Hazel Lewis had now been shattered by Claire Bennett. Hazel Lewis's biggest advantage over Claire Bennett had originally been her better family background, but now that seemed like a joke.

Hazel Lewis, however, wasn't nervous at all, because she had learned that Claire Bennett's pregnancy was fake.

She curled her lips into a smile and said to Daniel Lewis, "Dad, I just found out something."

Daniel Lewis looked at Hazel Lewis in surprise. "What is it?"

Next, Hazel Lewis told Daniel Lewis everything Megan Sterling had just told her. She said excitedly, "As long as we can expose Claire Bennett in front of everyone, then the Sterling family will dislike her too, and I'll still have a chance."

After hearing Hazel Lewis out, Daniel Lewis stayed silent for a long time. His eyes were dark and gloomy, as if he were thinking of a countermeasure.

Who would have thought that when all seemed lost, a way out would appear!

Heaven was helping them too, letting them get hold of this weakness of Claire Bennett's. They had to make good use of it!

A moment later, Daniel Lewis asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

Hazel Lewis gently shook her head. "After what happened just now, I probably won't be able to get close to Claire Bennett again. If we want to deal with her, I'm afraid it really won't be that simple."

Daniel Lewis nodded when he heard that. A ruthless look came over his face as he gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Let's use some harsh measures!"

"What do you mean by harsh measures?" Hazel Lewis looked at Daniel Lewis in surprise.

Daniel Lewis had spent many years fighting his way through the business world, so naturally his hands weren't exactly clean. He wouldn't hesitate to use certain special methods, and now, for his daughter's happiness and for his own future prospects, he was even more willing to throw caution to the wind!

A ruthless glint appeared in his eyes as he said, "When Claire Bennett isn't paying attention, find a way to make her have an accident. Then if a doctor comes to examine her, there'll be no way for her to hide it!"

Hazel Lewis's heart gave a violent jump. "You... you mean..."

Daniel Lewis thought this idea was perfect. If it was discovered in front of everyone that she wasn't pregnant, then Claire Bennett would be finished.

Wealthy families cared most about rules. Since Claire Bennett had dared to deceive everyone like this, then she had better be prepared for what would happen after it was exposed. When the time came, she would be directly abandoned by the Sterling family.

A woman full of lies who would do anything to climb the ladder—even if she was the Bennett family's daughter, so what? Who could tolerate her?

Julian Sterling and Claire Bennett were still in the garden. Neither of them knew that Hazel Lewis and her father were already behind the scenes plotting how to scheme against them.

Ruby Sterling appeared in front of them, panting for breath. She said, "Bro, sis-in-law, so this is where you are!"

"What's the matter?" Julian Sterling lifted his eyes to look at Ruby Sterling.

"I just overheard Grandpa and Grandma talking about you and Claire..." Ruby Sterling let out a little giggle, pulled out a phone, and said, "I recorded all of it. Do you want to listen?"

Julian Sterling's eyes darkened slightly as he said, "Mm, play it."

He was a little curious whether, after what had just happened with Claire Bennett, Grandpa and Grandma had changed their opinion of her.

Ruby Sterling quickly and eagerly took out her phone and played the recording of the conversation between Old Mr. Sterling and Old Mrs. Sterling that she had secretly overheard.

"What do you think of Claire?" Old Mrs. Sterling's voice rang out first.

Right after that came Old Mr. Sterling's snort, obviously full of disdain for Claire Bennett.

Hearing this, all three of them showed helpless looks in their eyes. They had known Old Mr. Sterling wouldn't change his attitude so easily.

Julian Sterling glared at Ruby Sterling with some dissatisfaction, seeming to blame her for bringing this over to play after hearing something like that.

Ruby Sterling hurriedly soothed him. "Oh, come on, bro, don't get mad yet. There's more after that!"

"Stop being so stubborn. Just look at the kind of person you picked. Hazel Lewis looked pretty good on the surface, but in reality she's that kind of person. It's a good thing we didn't let her marry into the family, otherwise it really would have been a family disgrace. I think from now on you should stop meddling in Julian's affairs too. Let the young couple develop on their own."

For a long time, no sound came from the phone, clearly because Old Mr. Sterling had been rebuked by Old Mrs. Sterling into speechlessness.

When Julian Sterling heard this, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
