Claire Was Right Not to Choose You (Continued)

Claire rolled her eyes. "Of course I'm going to hit you, so you won't say this kind of disgusting crap to me again next time."

He even wanted to use the Sterling family as bait to get her to go with him?

It was absolutely ridiculous! She had a deep-seated fear of the Sterling estate. Who would want to live with the Sterling family? She'd much rather go back to her own apartment.

Ethan Sterling raised his hand, wanting to teach Claire a brutal lesson, but before it could come down, a large hand caught it firmly.

Then Julian Sterling appeared in front of him. With his other hand, he pulled Claire into his arms and held her tightly in protection. "Ethan Sterling, what kind of man hits a woman? Claire was right not to choose you, because you're not worth it!"

After saying that, Julian Sterling pulled Claire and started walking back.

Julian Sterling brought Claire back to Old Mr. Sterling and Old Mrs. Sterling and said to them, "Grandpa, don't be too upset either. Let's go. In the future, I'll give you a place even bigger than this one."

Claire stepped forward to help Old Mr. Sterling leave.

Behind them, Ethan Sterling watched the backs of Julian Sterling and Claire as they left, his eyes dark and unwilling to accept it. No matter how many times, Claire still chose Julian Sterling without hesitation.

He shouted at their backs, "Claire Bennett, you'll definitely regret the choice you made today!"

Claire didn't take his words seriously at all. Ethan Sterling had already said this hundreds of times. If she were going to regret it, she would have regretted it long ago.

But there was no need for her to explain any of that to Ethan Sterling. Whether she would regret it or not, time could decide!

Without even turning her head, Claire helped Old Mr. Sterling into the car.

A moment later, Julian Sterling's car disappeared from sight.

Ethan Sterling clenched his fists, his expression dark and ugly. He was definitely going to make Claire regret today's decision!

...

Inside the car.

Old Mr. Sterling cursed furiously, "I actually raised such an ungrateful bastard. It's infuriating!"

Claire was sitting in the front passenger seat. She actually could understand Thomas Sterling's thinking. He was the eldest son of the Sterling family, and by all logic, since ancient times the eldest son inherited the family business.

But Old Mr. Sterling had wanted to hand the family assets to his grandson Julian Sterling. How could Thomas Sterling possibly accept that? That was why he had taken such a desperate risk.

Old Mrs. Sterling said with a face full of sorrow, "Enough. Things are already like this. No matter how angry you are, it's useless. We should think about where we're going to live next."

They had originally left the hospital happily today, planning to return to the Sterling estate to recover, but they had never expected to be stopped outside the gates, and now they had been driven away in disgrace.

By tonight, they might not even have a place to stay.

Given the Sterling family's current situation, it probably wouldn't be appropriate for them to seek refuge with anyone.

Others might very well distance themselves after Thomas Sterling seized Sterling Group and treat them coldly. Only after Old Mr. Sterling regained consciousness did he realize that Thomas Sterling had also taken most of his personal assets.

Now he was left with nothing and had no support to rely on.

As for Julian Sterling... Old Mr. Sterling had heard that when he left Sterling Group, he had even been forced to repay some debts, so there were no usable assets under his name either.

Old Mr. Sterling sighed. "We'll stay at a hotel."

Aside from that, they had no other choice.

To fall overnight from the one in power in the Sterling family to the point of needing to stay in a hotel,

Hearing Old Mrs. Sterling's words, Claire said, "Grandpa Sterling, Grandma Sterling, I'm currently renting an apartment. It's a little small, but there's still room to stay. Come stay with me. It'll also be easier for us to take care of you."

Old Mr. Sterling didn't say anything. In truth, he didn't want to stay in a cold, impersonal place like a hotel either. It never felt like home.

Old Mrs. Sterling didn't stand on ceremony with Claire at all. She quickly said, "Claire, you're the thoughtful one. Knowing your grandpa and I have nowhere to live, you're specially taking us home with you."

"Grandpa, Grandma, Claire really is a very good girl," Julian Sterling took the chance to say a few good things about Claire.

In the end, they all went back together to Claire's apartment.

Last time, when Julian Sterling wanted to pursue Claire, he moved in across from her. Unexpectedly, once he moved, there was no moving back, and now he was even bringing Old Mrs. Sterling and Old Mr. Sterling to live here too.
