Chapter 556
Julian Sterling Really Was Kicked Out of the Sterling Family
She silently let out a sigh. She should deal with what was right in front of her first; as for Julian Sterling, she would ask him about it carefully after she got back.
At that moment, in Ava Bennett's office.
Her assistant Olivia Lawson stood to the side and said, "I heard Claire Bennett found a new investor. They're going to meet the investor today!"
"What did you say? Hadn't everything already been arranged? There are still people willing to invest in Claire Bennett?" Ava Bennett's expression darkened at once as she lifted her eyes toward Olivia Lawson.
"It's true! I heard Molly Lee talking about it with the others. They're going to meet the investor today."
Ava Bennett narrowed her eyes and said, "Hurry and find out which investor Claire Bennett is going to meet."
Olivia Lawson immediately agreed, then turned and walked out.
After quite a while, Olivia Lawson finally came back from outside. As soon as she entered, she said, "Manager Song, I've found out!"
"Well? Which investment company is it?"
Olivia Lawson said, "The investment company Claire Bennett is meeting is Hudson Capital. I didn't expect it to be this company!"
"You're talking about Hudson Capital?" Ava Bennett could no longer sit still. Hudson Capital was no small company.
She hadn't expected Claire Bennett to get so damn lucky and win Hudson Capital's favor. How could she possibly let Claire Bennett have an easy time? If Claire Bennett really got the investment and managed to launch this new product release event, then little by little she might start to surpass her in Bennett Group.
No! She couldn't just sit there and wait for things to happen!
Ava Bennett slapped the desk and stood up, saying, "Go make arrangements right now. We're going to Hudson Capital too."
Claire Bennett and Molly Lee arrived at Hudson Capital. The company was located in a fairly bustling business district in New York, very close to both Bennett Group and Sterling Group.
When they had passed the Sterling Tower just now, Claire Bennett couldn't help glancing at that skyscraper, her mind constantly on the matter of Julian Sterling being kicked out of the Sterling family.
After Molly Lee told her about Hudson Capital's background last time, she had spent all her time after going back researching the preferences of the person in charge of Hudson Capital, hoping to succeed in one try.
It was said that the person in charge of Hudson Capital had the last name West, a wealthy second-generation heir with more money than anything else.
But he wasn't very capable in business, so he invested in companies that looked like they might develop well in the future, then took dividends after they turned a profit.
Although Mr. West had no talent for doing business, he had always had a good eye for investments.
The companies he invested in were all pretty good, so Hudson Capital was currently also one of the bigger investment firms in New York.
"Hello, I'm Claire Bennett, manager of Bennett Manzhen Design. I have an appointment with your Mr. West." After arriving at the front desk, Claire Bennett identified herself.
"Certainly. Please come with me. Mr. West has appointments with quite a few companies today, so you may need to wait a bit."
Claire Bennett naturally had no objections. She and Molly Lee followed the receptionist to the conference room.
On the way, Molly Lee quietly asked, "Manager Song, why did that Mr. West also make appointments with other people? Didn't he only make one with us?"
Claire Bennett's eyes darkened slightly. "The one with the money is the boss. All we can do is try our best to win Mr. West's approval."
There were indeed already several people sitting in the conference room. After Claire Bennett walked in, quite a few of them lifted their eyes to look at her. Claire Bennett basically didn't know any of them, and there was no need to greet them either. What if they were competitors?
With an expressionless face, she sat down in her seat and patiently waited for Mr. West to call her in.
Just then, the conference room door opened again. The receptionist who had just led Claire Bennett in now brought two more people inside. They were actually Ava Bennett and her assistant Olivia Lawson.
When Molly Lee saw the two of them, her eyes widened in shock.
What was going on? Why was Ava Bennett here? Could they also be here to see Mr. West?
"Manager Song, why are they here?" Molly Lee leaned close to Claire Bennett's ear and asked in a low voice.
Without showing it on her face, Claire Bennett looked toward Ava Bennett. As if she knew Claire Bennett was looking at her, Ava Bennett flashed her a smug smile. She even seemed to make a gesture at Claire Bennett, signaling that Claire Bennett would lose to her.
After finding out that Claire Bennett had come to Hudson Capital, she had immediately pulled strings and come here too. She would think of every possible way to sabotage Claire Bennett's investment.
Claire Bennett's expression tightened slightly as she pulled back all her attention.
Since Ava Bennett had come, she would definitely target her. There was no use overthinking it. She could only take it one step at a time—deal with whatever came, whether soldiers or floodwaters.
"All right, let's just ignore her." Claire Bennett comforted Molly Lee.
Although Claire Bennett had not taken it all too much to heart, Molly Lee was still a little worried.
She only hoped everything would go smoothly in a moment.
If they couldn't find an investor this time, then they wouldn't be able to put on their launch event. They would only keep being crushed by Ava Bennett at Bennett Group, without the slightest bit of results to show.
At that moment, Olivia Lawson, the assistant beside Ava Bennett, said to Ava Bennett, "Manager Song, I've arranged everything. In a little while, Claire Bennett will definitely have no choice but to leave with her tail between her legs!"
