The Sterling Family Is Completely Finished

Old Master Sterling asked, "Where's that woman?"

Although he didn't name anyone, Julian Sterling knew Old Master Sterling was talking about Claire Bennett. The corners of his lips curled slightly as he said, "After I left the company, I already had Ruby take her the divorce agreement..."

Old Master Sterling let out a soft snort. "She must have signed it without a second thought!"

He had known a woman like Claire Bennett couldn't be relied on. Back when Julian Sterling was the future heir of the Sterling family, of course she clung tightly to him and refused to let go. But now that he had nothing left, she had surely abandoned him immediately, hadn't she?

Although Old Master Sterling had let go of his prejudice against Claire Bennett before, he still looked at her through colored glasses now.

When Julian Sterling saw Old Master Sterling's expression, he naturally knew what he was thinking. He smiled and said, "Claire didn't sign. She said that no matter what I become, she'll stay by my side and keep going with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Master Sterling froze.

Claire Bennett didn't leave Julian Sterling?

Julian Sterling continued, "When you were poisoned this time, you happened to be talking with Claire, so she became the biggest suspect. Before you woke up, she'd been staying in the detention center the whole time, but she never complained at all. She just quietly waited for me to investigate everything and clear it up."

Old Master Sterling fell silent when he heard that.

Listening to Julian Sterling's words, a trace of emotion flashed through Old Mrs. Sterling's eyes. Given the Sterling family's current situation, every one of Claire Bennett's actions and behaviors formed a huge contrast with everyone else's. Her steadfast refusal to leave was especially rare and precious.

"Claire didn't know Julian's identity before, and she never looked down on him, so how could she possibly look down on him now?" Old Mrs. Sterling said with a smile. "You should stop always looking at Claire that way. Although her mother has some connection with Qingyuan, she's still a very good child."

After his initial shock, Old Master Sterling was left with complicated emotions in his heart.

He pressed his lips together and said sullenly, "Fine. Didn't I already stop opposing Julian being with her? That day, I was the one who had her move back to the Sterling family home."

A sharp glint flashed through Julian Sterling's eyes. Claire Bennett had been unwilling to return to the Sterling family. He had finally persuaded her to accept the Sterling family, yet on the very first day she came back, something like this happened.

If he didn't clear away every obstacle for Claire Bennett, there was no way he would let her return to the Sterling family.

As for what happened this time, he hoped it would never happen again from now on!

"Grandpa, get some good rest. I'm leaving." After reminding him, Julian Sterling turned and walked out of the hospital room.

Old Master Sterling watched his grandson's tall, striking back and let out a long sigh. Seeing this, Old Mrs. Sterling beside him asked, "What's wrong? What are you sighing for? Didn't Julian just say he can handle this matter?"

"I'm worried about Julian. I'm afraid the kid was just putting on a brave face in front of me, when in reality he doesn't have any way to solve it at all."

"All right, don't you trust Julian's abilities? You brought him up with your own hands. If even you don't believe in him, then no one will."

Old Master Sterling's tightly furrowed brows relaxed. She was right. He should trust Julian Sterling.

After this matter passed, he was going to thoroughly clean house and sweep all those parasites out of the Sterling family!

...

After Julian Sterling returned to the Sterling family home, Ruby Sterling immediately came forward to meet him.

"Julian, did you go to the hospital to see Grandpa? How is he doing?"

"Grandpa's already awake. If you have time, you can go see him," Julian Sterling said in a low voice.

"What! Grandpa's awake?" Delight appeared in Ruby Sterling's eyes as she said repeatedly, "That's great! It's good that Grandpa woke up. I was afraid something might really happen to him."

"Oh, right!" Ruby Sterling suddenly thought of something and said to Julian Sterling, "Since Grandpa's already awake, when can Claire come out? She's suffered in there for a long time already."

Julian Sterling nodded lightly. "Mm. I'll go pick her up tomorrow."
