She Was Going to Find Julian Sterling

Old Mr. Sterling's expression darkened too, and he said, "Lately, Julian has been working overtime at the company for that project for a long time now. If his phone is off, he's very likely doing something important. Let's think of another way."

"Then I'll call Ruby and have her help check whether Claire has already gone to find Julian."

When old Mr. Sterling heard that, he immediately urged, "Then hurry up and call. It's fine if you have Ruby go wait at Julian's place right now too."

Old Mrs. Sterling nodded repeatedly and dialed Ruby Sterling's cell phone. "Ruby."

"Grandma, why are you calling me?"

"Claire is awake."

Ruby was silent for a few seconds before shouting in shock, "What! Grandma, is that true? My sister-in-law is awake? Where is she now? I'll come find you right away."

"You don't need to come. Claire slipped away while we weren't there. We suspect she went to find your brother, but we don't know where she's gotten to now. She only just woke up—we can't possibly feel at ease with her out there alone."

"Grandma, I'll go find Claire right now. Don't worry."

After ending the call, old Mr. Sterling asked, "Well? What did Ruby say?"

"She's gone to find Claire now. There shouldn't be any problem, right? Ruby can also ask Cameron Quinn for help, so there shouldn't be any problem at all."

...

Claire Bennett was already sitting in the bus heading into the city. Watching the scenery slide backward outside the window, she gradually snapped out of the emotions of having just awakened. She really had woken up.

But then when she thought that Julian Sterling might have another woman, she...

A fine, dense pain rose in her heart. Claire Bennett didn't know how to face that kind of situation, and she didn't know what choice she would make—whether to wish him happiness or fight that woman to the very end.

A long while later, the bus stopped at a station in the city.

After Claire Bennett got off the bus, she flagged down a cab. After getting in, she hesitated. She didn't know whether Julian Sterling was at the company right now. Even though three years had passed, Julian Sterling should still be at the original company, right?

"Hello, where would you like to go?" the driver asked.

Just as Claire Bennett was about to speak, a voice came over the radio. "Today, Thomas Sterling of Sterling Group, Julian Sterling of Ningzhi... and several other bosses are holding cooperation talks at the convention center. After the deal is reached, the old city district will..."

Claire Bennett didn't hear anything that came after that. She had only heard Julian Sterling's name.

A bit of brightness spilled into her eyes. "Driver, hello, to the convention center."

The driver immediately started the car and headed for the convention center. He had just heard that Claire Bennett decided to go there after hearing the radio, so he chatted a little more than necessary. He said, "That Julian Sterling is really incredible. In the last few years, his company has risen out of nowhere. I heard he originally came out of Sterling Group, and now even Sterling Group can't compare to him."

Claire Bennett's face was full of emotion. She knew Julian Sterling's ability. With his capabilities, surpassing Sterling Group in a short time was no problem.

But the higher Julian Sterling stood now, the more it proved that he was becoming more and more outstanding. Then it would be normal for there to be women around him. If an even more exceptional woman appeared, it wouldn't be impossible for him to fall for her and be with her.

Claire Bennett didn't know what use there was in going to find Julian Sterling, but she still wanted to verify it for herself.

Even if it really turned out that way, then she would be able to give up completely.

Before long, they arrived at the convention center. Claire Bennett walked toward the venue, but because she didn't have a work pass, the staff at the entrance stopped her at once. "Please show your work pass."

Claire Bennett looked helpless. She didn't have a work pass.

Just then, Marcus Reed happened to walk out from inside. When he saw Claire Bennett, he stared with shock, his eyes going so wide they nearly popped out. He was a little suspicious that he was seeing things.

Th-that's Claire Bennett?

Claire Bennett was still worrying about how to get in, and she hadn't expected that there would still be a way. She actually saw Marcus Reed. She immediately stepped forward and said, "Marcus Reed, is Julian Sterling inside? Take me in."

Only after hearing Claire Bennett's words did Marcus Reed slowly come back to himself. She had really come!

"Ma'am, you're awake?" Marcus Reed said in delight.

"Mm."

"I'll tell President Sterling right now. He'll definitely be overjoyed."

"Wait!" Claire Bennett immediately stopped Marcus Reed. She said to him, "Don't tell Julian Sterling yet. I want to... give him a surprise."

Although she called it a surprise, in reality Claire Bennett was worried that if what she saw was really that Julian Sterling already had a wife and child, then wouldn't she be ruining someone else's marriage?

Maybe after getting the answer she wanted in the end, she would leave silently.
