Chapter 663
This Is All Claire Bennett's Fault
Just then, Ava Bennett's phone rang. She picked it up and glanced at it. The call was from Olivia Lawson.
She numbly swiped to answer. "Hello."
"Manager Song..." Olivia's voice was cautious, like she wanted to say something but couldn't get the words out.
Ava Bennett had already suffered a huge blow today. Now, hearing Olivia act so mysteriously, she couldn't help growing irritated. She snapped, "If you have something to say, then say it right now. Stop hemming and hawing!"
Olivia took a deep breath and said, "Manager Song, because you're hospitalized right now, President Song just gave orders that Bennett Jewelry will temporarily be managed by someone else, so you can focus on recovering."
Ava Bennett's pupils contracted sharply, and she gripped her phone tightly.
She could hardly accept this reality. She had already been afraid she wouldn't be able to hold on to her career, but she never expected that in the end, she still wouldn't be able to keep anything.
This was all Claire Bennett's fault!
If Claire Bennett hadn't seduced Ethan Sterling away, then Ethan Sterling wouldn't have abandoned her, her child wouldn't be gone, and her father wouldn't have removed her from her position at Bennett Jewelry because of her condition. That's right, it was all Claire Bennett!
Ava Bennett pinned all of her failures on Claire Bennett. Her expression gradually twisted into something savage and ferocious.
On the hospital bed, Ava Bennett ground her teeth viciously. Her eyes slowly filled with a crazed, warped look, revealing a dark obsession.
"Claire Bennett, if I'm suffering, then don't think you'll get off easy either!"
...
The next day.
Yesterday, Claire Bennett had been pestered by Ethan Sterling for quite a while. In the end, she had to call over mall security to get him taken away.
Later, she heard that after she left yesterday, Ava Bennett had been shoved to the ground by Ethan Sterling. She didn't know how things had turned out after that. Fortunately, passersby had helped call an ambulance and had Ava Bennett taken to the hospital.
But none of their affairs had anything to do with her anymore. A man like Ethan Sterling wasn't worth entrusting herself to.
And she would never turn back again.
Recently, her career had been progressing very smoothly, and Julian Sterling had also closed several major deals. They were both moving in a good direction. The recent matters in Claire Bennett's life had finally come to an end, and it just so happened to be her wedding anniversary with Julian Sterling.
She couldn't help feeling emotional. She had never expected so much time to have passed since their marriage. Everything felt like a dream, from her accidental first meeting with Julian Sterling to later unexpectedly rushing into marriage with him, and everything else.
Claire Bennett couldn't help curling her lips into a smile, feeling as though it had all happened just yesterday.
Today, Julian Sterling had arranged all the activities. He had prepared a surprise for her at an upscale Western restaurant.
After Claire Bennett finished handling the company's business, she stood downstairs waiting for him to come pick her up.
There wasn't much traffic below the company building in the early evening yet. It still wasn't quitting time. Once rush hour hit, this place would be even more congested.
Just as Claire Bennett was still waiting for Julian Sterling, a car suddenly shot out from the corner at a mad speed and drove straight at her. Before she had time to react, her whole body was hit hard.
Before she passed out, Claire Bennett saw Ava Bennett's viciously grinning face inside the driver's seat.
Ava Bennett had hit her with the car? She wanted her dead?
"This is bad, someone got hit!"
"Is that person still alive? There's so much blood."
"Hurry up and call an ambulance."
At the moment Claire Bennett completely lost consciousness, she heard the chaotic noise all around her. Before she had time to say anything, she lost all awareness and fell into darkness.
Julian Sterling was driving over to pick up Claire Bennett, never expecting to see a scene like this. His face instantly turned white, and it felt as though his heart suddenly clenched tight...
"Claire!"
Ava Bennett had already driven away from the scene, and the people around were gathered around Claire Bennett, checking on her.
Julian Sterling glanced at the license plate. He didn't have time to think about anything else. He quickly slammed on the brakes, pushed open the door, got out, and swept Claire Bennett up in his arms. "Claire, wake up..."
Claire Bennett's eyes were tightly shut, and blood was trickling from the corner of her mouth. She looked like a rag doll.
A look of anxious panic overtook Julian Sterling's face. He didn't care about anything else. He lifted Claire Bennett into his arms, then put her in his car and sped toward the hospital.
Claire, hang on! Nothing can happen to you!
...
At the hospital.
Claire Bennett was taken into the emergency room. Mrs. Sterling and Mr. Sterling had also received news that Claire Bennett had been hit, and they hurried to the hospital. Ruby Sterling and Cameron Quinn also rushed over.
Julian Sterling stood in the hallway, tense and dejected. The light above the emergency room was on, and every single second was agony, making the atmosphere unbearably oppressive.
"Bro, how is Claire doing?"
Ruby Sterling had recently been busy with wedding preparations, while Claire Bennett had been busy with matters at her company. The two of them hadn't been in contact for quite some time. She had never expected that the next time they saw each other, it would be under circumstances like this.
