Chapter 619
It Was Old Mr. Sterling Who Helped
Mrs. Parker shook her head and gave a mysterious smile. "Mr. Sterling wasn't the one who asked me to come."
Claire Bennett was stunned. If it wasn't Julian Sterling, then who could it be?
At that moment, Molly Lee, standing beside Claire Bennett, reminded her, "Boss, you should hurry and invite Mrs. Parker inside. Don't let her stand here waiting."
Hearing Molly Lee's words, Claire Bennett came back to her senses. At this point, no matter who had invited Mrs. Parker, it didn't matter anymore. Mrs. Parker's appearance brought her no harm at all. On the contrary, it elevated the status of her store, so of course she welcomed it very much.
Claire Bennett said to Mrs. Parker, "Mrs. Parker, please come inside. Let me introduce the jewelry in our store to you."
As they spoke, the two of them walked inside.
...
A moment ago, Ava Bennett had Olivia Lawson do another round of promotion. Seeing the crowd gradually growing, her mood finally improved a little, but what was happening on Claire Bennett's side remained a knot in her heart.
She had just told Olivia Lawson to keep an eye on Claire Bennett's side. If anything unusual happened, she was to come report back immediately.
Olivia Lawson had been gone for quite a while, but she still hadn't returned, and there was no telling what the situation was.
Ava Bennett stood there, anxiously worrying.
Soon, Olivia Lawson appeared in front of her, and Ava Bennett impatiently asked, "How are things on Claire Bennett's side? Is it totally dead over there?"
When Olivia Lawson heard Ava Bennett's question, her expression turned a little strange.
Ava Bennett knew Olivia Lawson very well. Seeing her like this, she immediately sensed something was wrong, and hurriedly pressed, "Don't hold it in. Hurry up and tell me. What exactly happened?"
"Manager Ava, just now... just now quite a few people went over to Claire Bennett's side."
Hearing Olivia Lawson's words, Ava Bennett's brows knit tightly. A lot of people had gone over to Claire Bennett's side? Could it be that she had called people over to show support and create the illusion of a lively crowd?
Before Ava Bennett had the chance to sneer at Claire Bennett, she heard Olivia Lawson say, "Mia Hughes went over there, and Mrs. Parker too, and also..."
Then Olivia Lawson listed several more names, and the more Ava Bennett heard, the colder her heart grew.
These people were all far too important. She had never expected them all to run over to Claire Bennett's side. If the two sides were compared, hers was completely no match for Claire Bennett's!
Damn it, where did Claire Bennett get connections like that?
Just then, Olivia Lawson suddenly cried out, "This is bad! Manager Ava, all the people we pulled in with our promotion just ran over to Harbor Point Mall!"
Ava Bennett went out to take a look and found that the scene that had been bustling just moments ago had suddenly turned deserted.
Sure enough, those people really had run off!
"What's going on?" Ava Bennett was so angry she stamped her foot. Gritting her teeth, she demanded, "What are you standing there for? Go find out right now!"
Olivia Lawson hurried off to check the situation.
Ten minutes later, Olivia Lawson came back again. Looking at Ava Bennett, she said helplessly, "Manager Ava, I already asked around. Someone must have heard what was going on over there, and then all these people ran over. The celebrities on Claire Bennett's side are bigger names, and even... even Logan Price went over there too, saying he wanted to greet his seniors."
This time, Ava Bennett truly couldn't hold it together anymore. Her face went green, then white.
Claire Bennett!
She hadn't expected that even after having her store taken away, Claire Bennett would still be able to open on time, and even get a better location than hers. And now even the opening ceremony had completely crushed her.
She refused to accept it!
Unfortunately, the place outside had already emptied out. No matter how angry Ava Bennett was, she couldn't change the fact that her store was getting more and more deserted.
At this moment, Claire Bennett hadn't expected so many people to come. Some of the celebrities had been invited by Julian Sterling, but there were also some major figures whose identities couldn't be spoken of, and she still had no idea who had helped make that happen.
Finally, when the opening ceremony was almost over, she couldn't resist going to find Mrs. Parker.
"Hello, Mrs. Parker. Can you tell me now who exactly asked you to come?"
Mrs. Parker curved her lips into a smile and finally revealed the answer. She said, "All right. I've kept up the mystery long enough. It's time to tell you. The person who asked me to come was... Old Mr. Sterling. He asked my husband to have me come attend your opening ceremony and make sure to back you up."
What!
Claire Bennett's eyes widened in shock, hardly able to believe it. It was actually Old Mr. Sterling who had helped?
