Chapter 639
Ethan Sterling Is on a Blind Date
Right now, Ethan Sterling was extremely disgusted with her, and even when he answered her calls, he sounded very impatient, ending the call after barely saying a couple of words.
Her mother was right. If she didn't seize the opportunity now, she might really lose Ethan Sterling as this powerful backer.
Ava Bennett stood at the entrance of the restaurant and saw Ethan Sterling sitting face-to-face with a woman.
The woman sitting across from him was wearing a high-quality dress, her hair falling smoothly behind her back, and she looked elegant and charming as a whole.
Judging from everything she used, her family background was probably no ordinary one either.
Damn it!
Ava Bennett secretly clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Ethan Sterling had turned around and gotten involved with another woman. Was he really planning to separate from her?
What she resented most was that before this, she had done everything she could to please Ethan Sterling and had slept with him so many times, serving him comfortably every single time, yet he turned around and denied their relationship.
She wasn't even Ethan Sterling's girlfriend!
Thinking of that day when Ethan Sterling had chased after Claire Bennett and had even denied her status in front of Claire Bennett, Ava Bennett felt a surge of pent-up anger.
"Ava, I've already asked around for you. That woman is President Parker's daughter. President Parker's business in New York isn't just in real estate—he also has banks, hotels, and other industries. We're no match for her."
A dark look appeared in Ava Bennett's eyes as she gritted out, "Mom, are we just going to let it go like this? I'm not willing!"
Hannah Bennett curled her lips into a cold smile and said, "Of course we can't just let it go like this! President Parker has only one daughter, and he values her very much. I heard that recently President Parker wants to bring in a son-in-law..."
"What?" Ava Bennett grew a little flustered. Ethan Sterling was on a blind date with this woman right now, so didn't that mean he was about to become the Parker family's son-in-law?
"Don't panic yet. I observed just now, and that Miss Parker doesn't seem all that interested in Ethan Sterling. She'll probably look down on him, but we can use this."
Ava Bennett looked at Hannah Bennett curiously and asked, "Mom, how do you mean, use this?"
"Didn't you say Ethan Sterling has started having thoughts about Claire Bennett again lately?" Hannah Bennett raised a cold smile.
"I think Julian Sterling is quite handsome too. Suggest to Ethan Sterling that he find a way to get Miss Parker and Julian Sterling tangled up together. Ethan Sterling will definitely be willing to keep seeing you, and you can take this opportunity to please Ethan Sterling and then get back together with him."
"As for Claire Bennett, right now her company with Julian Sterling is doing booming business. If the two of them have a relationship crisis, it will definitely affect her career too. When that happens, how will she still be able to fight you?"
The more Ava Bennett listened, the more smug her eyes became. She felt that Hannah Bennett's plan was absolutely brilliant.
This was simply a wonderful thing that killed several birds with one stone. By then, not only would Claire Bennett be suppressed by her, but she would also be able to coax Ethan Sterling back.
This was just great.
"Mom, just wait for my good news!"
Ava Bennett revealed a confident smile and walked into the restaurant.
...
Inside the restaurant.
Ethan Sterling had been forced to come on this blind date. Thomas Sterling felt that Sterling Group had been stagnating lately. Ever since Ethan had taken over the company, he had fired quite a few people, and Sterling Group had been somewhat hurt as a result.
Recently, Thomas Sterling had been thinking of ways to improve Sterling Group's performance, and it just so happened that President Parker was looking to bring in a son-in-law, so he sent Ethan Sterling here.
If he could become in-laws with the Parker family, Sterling Group would also be able to get quite a boost.
But in Ethan Sterling's eyes, that wasn't how he saw it at all. He had finally become the young Mr. Sterling, and now Thomas Sterling's behavior made him feel that Thomas Sterling wanted to monopolize power and kick him out of the company.
If he actually married into the wife's family, then in the future wouldn't he have to look at his father-in-law's expression before doing anything? What room would he have left to make his own decisions? How could that possibly be as comfortable as sitting in his current position?
So after he came here, there wasn't much expression on his face.
No matter how pretty Miss Parker was, she couldn't stir any impulse in him at all. He only wanted to end this boring blind date as quickly as possible.
But out of regard for Thomas Sterling's reputation, and since it wouldn't be good to offend the Parker family, he still gentlemanly invited Miss Parker to dinner.
Miss Parker herself actually wasn't all that willing to go on a blind date with Ethan Sterling either.
Before coming, she had already looked into Ethan Sterling's past. She heard that he had been married once before, and a twice-married man like that didn't seem to be her type.
It wasn't that she absolutely couldn't accept a divorced man, but right now Ethan Sterling wasn't really much of anything at Sterling Group. He wasn't even as good as that recently rising Julian Sterling.
