A Gap That Could Never Be Crossed in a Lifetime

She was so startled that she kicked her hard. "Get the hell away from me! I don't know you at all!"

Hazel hadn't expected Megan Sterling to turn on her and deny knowing her. Before, at most, she had only lost a little face. After some time, once everyone forgot about it, nothing much would have happened. But after making a move against Claire Bennett, the nature of it was different.

This whole thing had been instigated behind the scenes by that woman, Megan Sterling.

If she hadn't told her that Claire Bennett was already pregnant and that her belly was fake, how could she possibly have done such a thing!

Megan Sterling had ruined her!

Hazel gritted her teeth and glared viciously at Megan Sterling. She raised her hand and pointed at her. "It was you! It was all you!"

Megan Sterling's face instantly went white, afraid Hazel might say something.

She said to the people behind her, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and take her away. Are you waiting for her to keep hurting people?"

Very soon, Hazel was taken away with her mouth covered, and Daniel Lewis was taken along with her.

As for what exactly those father and daughter had done that was so shameless, naturally someone at the police station would question them thoroughly.

As the mastermind behind it, Megan Sterling finally let her stiff body relax when she saw Hazel and Daniel Lewis being taken away.

Only then did she realize she was already drenched in sweat.

Hazel had almost sold her out just now. If Julian Sterling found out, she would be finished!

She was somewhat glad she hadn't acted personally and had instead found Hazel, that brainless woman. Now, even if Hazel got arrested, no matter how she was questioned, it wouldn't implicate her.

Megan Sterling secretly glanced at Julian Sterling, and at that moment, Julian Sterling lifted his eyes and met her gaze.

The icy chill in his eyes made her heart skip a beat.

It was as if Julian Sterling had seen right through her, as if she had nowhere to hide in front of him.

Megan Sterling nervously clenched her fists.

In the end, Julian Sterling said nothing. He simply stood up and walked upstairs.

...

Upstairs, Claire Bennett was packing her things.

The last time she came, she hadn't brought much with her, so packing up was very easy.

Ruby Sterling looked at her eagerly and said in a muffled voice, "Claire, I'm sorry. My grandpa was just too angry. Don't break up with my brother, okay?"

Hearing Ruby Sterling's words, Claire Bennett gave a bitter smile.

She put down what she was holding and said, "Ruby, it's not that if I don't want to break up with your brother, then we won't. Between us, there's a gulf that can't be crossed..."

Claire Bennett paused. "Maybe it can never be crossed in this lifetime."

Her mother and the Sterling family's fourth uncle had both been in a vegetative state for so long already, and there still wasn't any sign of them waking up. Maybe they never would in this lifetime, which was why she said it could never be crossed in this lifetime.

Changing the old master's opinion of her was not such a simple matter.

Claire Bennett remembered how downstairs just now, Julian Sterling had resolutely separated himself from her, and her heart suddenly ached.

In the end, they were fated to meet but not to be together. This was as far as things would go between her and Julian Sterling.

Ruby Sterling still wanted to say something when Julian Sterling's figure appeared before them.

"Bro, you're here!"

"Go out first," Julian Sterling said flatly.
