Chapter 540
There's a Possibility of Becoming a Vegetable
He looked sternly at Ruby Sterling and snorted. "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Are you deliberately fooling us? Trying to set us up, all so that woman can come back?"
When Ruby Sterling heard Old Master Sterling say that, she instantly got a little angry too.
She just couldn't understand Old Master Sterling. Why couldn't he accept a girl as wonderful as Claire Bennett?
Maybe because grief welled up inside her, Ruby Sterling was no longer afraid of Old Master Sterling. She stood up, looked at him, and said, "Grandpa, I've held this in for a long time. Claire is the daughter of the Bennett family, not from some improper family, and she's beautiful and highly capable. She's completely worthy of my brother!"
"But because of Fourth Uncle Sterling's matter, you forcibly broke my brother and Claire up. Now my brother has ended up like this, and you bear responsibility too. If my brother never wakes up again, then it will be completely your fault."
After Ruby Sterling finished speaking, her heart was practically about to leap out of her chest.
This was also the first time she had confronted Old Master Sterling head-on, and she was only relying on that burst of courage from just now.
When Old Master Sterling heard Ruby Sterling's words, his face instantly darkened. He glared at Ruby Sterling, trembling all over with rage!
How was it his fault?
Obviously that woman was a curse. Her mother had harmed Quentin Sterling, and now it was her turn to harm Julian Sterling!
Old Madam Sterling's expression sank as she said forcefully, "Enough. Arguing about this now is useless. Ruby, call Claire over."
"Okay, I'll go right now." Hearing that, Ruby Sterling let out a sigh of relief and immediately turned to make the call.
Old Master Sterling pressed his lips together. He had originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Julian Sterling lying there quietly in front of him, his expression grew grave, and in the end he said nothing after all.
At this time, Claire Bennett was working at Bennett Group.
Last time, she and Ava Bennett had a major conflict. Later, Ava Bennett came out on the losing end, but unfortunately she had no way to do anything to Claire Bennett.
Ava Bennett had found Claire Bennett unpleasant to look at lately and was thinking of ways to deal with her, but unfortunately she still couldn't do anything to her for the time being, so she could only make things difficult for Claire Bennett at work.
"Claire Bennett, this is what your team came up with for the designs? The new product launch is next month, and you're bringing out this kind of garbage now? Won't our Bennett Group become a laughingstock by then?" Ava Bennett held a stack of design drafts and mocked her coldly in front of Claire Bennett.
Hearing Ava Bennett's voice, Claire Bennett lifted her eyes and gave her a cool look. "What's wrong with these designs?"
Without waiting for Ava Bennett to speak, she continued, "And this is my team's business. What does it have to do with you? Right now we're on equal footing. You don't get to boss me around."
When Ava Bennett heard Claire Bennett's words, her face turned black.
She wanted to say something, but couldn't. In the end she could only let out a light snort and say, "I was only reminding you. Don't fail to appreciate good intentions!"
After saying that, Ava Bennett gave a cold snort and turned to leave.
Claire Bennett was a little speechless, but she didn't take it to heart. The Bennett Group team had only recently been assembled by her, and they didn't have any achievements yet. She needed to produce good results in order to establish herself at Bennett Group.
Just then, her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and looked at it. It was a call from Ruby Sterling.
Ever since leaving the Sterling family home last time, Claire Bennett had not been in contact with Ruby Sterling again. Although she and Ruby Sterling were good sisters, things had become so ugly with Julian Sterling that it wasn't appropriate to keep in touch.
She gathered her thoughts and swiped to answer. "Ruby, what's up?"
Ruby Sterling's anxious voice came from the phone. "Claire, this is bad! My brother has become a vegetable!"
"What!"
Claire Bennett's face instantly turned pale, and in her shock she almost couldn't hold her phone steady.
Julian Sterling had become a vegetable? How could this happen? What exactly was going on?
Because her mother was in a vegetative state, Claire Bennett cared deeply about this matter. It seemed to be her shadow. The moment she heard that Julian Sterling had become a vegetable, she was almost unable to think.
At that moment, how could Claire Bennett still care about the matter of the two of them separating? She hurriedly asked, "What exactly happened?"
Ruby Sterling's main purpose was to get Claire Bennett to come over. She stammered on the other end and couldn't really explain anything, so Claire Bennett only heard bits about falling into water, suddenly passing out, and working overtime for three days or something like that.
Claire Bennett said, "Where are you now? I'll come over right away!"
"I'm at the Sterling family home."
Claire Bennett hesitated for a moment. She now had some psychological shadow about the Sterling family home, so being asked to go there really did make her somewhat resistant.
But she was truly too concerned about Julian Sterling's condition, so in the end she clenched her teeth, grabbed her bag, and hailed a cab to the Sterling family home.
At this time, at the Sterling family home.
Ruby Sterling had already finished the call and come back, and she looked completely relieved.
Old Madam Sterling and Old Master Sterling hurriedly asked, "How is it? Is that woman willing to come?"
Now the ones asking a favor of Claire Bennett were the Sterling family. Ruby Sterling said firmly, "Grandpa, watch your attitude. Don't keep calling Claire 'that woman.' What if she gets unhappy later? Do you still want my brother to wake up?"
Hearing Ruby Sterling's words, Old Master Sterling was truly a little furious, but he couldn't find anything to say, so he could only keep a stiff face.
