Chapter 68
Get Out of Here Right Now
After saying that, Naomi Pierce looked at Claire Bennett with a smile, waiting to see how she'd answer now that she'd been exposed.
Claire Bennett knew Naomi Pierce was waiting to laugh at her.
She said casually, "My husband is pretty busy with work. He doesn't have time today for the moment."
At that point, the rich girls around them finally snapped back to themselves. They had just been dazzled by Claire Bennett, but once they thought of Naomi Pierce's rumored status, they still took her side.
After hearing what Claire Bennett said, someone laughed and said, "Claire Bennett, your husband isn't the man you cheated with, is he?"
"Yeah, I mean, a pair of adulterers would be too ashamed to show their faces in public anyway."
"Even a male side piece has his pride. It's normal that he wouldn't dare show up."
"By the way, Claire Bennett, what does that male side piece of yours look like? Is he better than our Manager Ethan?"
Several women covered their mouths and laughed, their expressions mocking and contemptuous, as they sneered, "Don't tell me he's some rich old fat guy?"
Otherwise, how could Claire Bennett possibly give up such a good man as Ethan Sterling?
The only possibility was that man had more money than Ethan Sterling.
And when it came to rich men, besides old men, what other possibility was there?
Not everyone was Julian Sterling, the president of Sterling International. Even though they had never seen Julian Sterling, they'd heard he was still very young. A mysterious man like that, with status and youth, was the easiest kind to make people fantasize.
When Ethan Sterling heard those words, a smug look appeared on his face, and his whole bearing radiated extreme, flamboyant confidence.
What good man could Claire Bennett possibly find?
She was lying without even bothering to make it believable!
He knew Claire Bennett couldn't forget him. A little hard-to-get trick like this wasn't about to fool him.
Tanya Sterling had just gone to the bathroom. When she came back from the restroom, she saw Claire Bennett arrive all dressed up, and then heard the people around her discussing how Claire Bennett's looks completely crushed Naomi Pierce's. She immediately assumed Claire Bennett had come to wreck the event.
Her face quickly darkened, and she strode up to Claire Bennett and shouted without the slightest politeness, "Claire Bennett! What are you here for again? So many people are here today. If you dare make trouble, I definitely won't let you off!"
When the rich girls around them saw Tanya Sterling come over, they all started talking at once. "Mrs. Sterling, don't be angry either. Ethan Sterling got cheated on by Claire Bennett. Claire Bennett is the blind one."
"She's definitely been dumped by that old man now, so she's clinging to Ethan Sterling and refusing to let go."
"We despise shameless women like that the most."
When Tanya Sterling heard those words, her eyes shifted, and something occurred to her.
Did they think Claire Bennett had dumped Ethan Sterling, instead of Ethan Sterling dumping Claire Bennett after latching onto the Bennett family's heiress?
Even better!
Let everyone keep thinking that. When the Bennett family arrived later, it would look better on the surface too.
So Tanya Sterling put on a stern face and snorted. "Claire Bennett, do you have no shame? You betrayed Ethan. He was already heartbroken. Luckily a good girl like Naomi came along and helped him regain his confidence. And now you've come in front of him again. Are you only going to be satisfied once you've driven him to his death?"
Seeing the Sterling family's shameless attempt to turn the tables, Claire Bennett was so angry she laughed.
There really wasn't another one like them in the whole world.
Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together.
Claire Bennett said mockingly, "Yeah, I do kind of want to drive that scumbag Ethan Sterling to death. I just don't know whether he'd really be willing to die."
A flash of anger crossed Tanya Sterling's eyes, and she shrieked, "We didn't invite you here, so what are you doing showing up? And you're dressed like this to steal the spotlight—don't tell me you came to seduce Ethan? Get out of here right now! Get out right now!"
Claire Bennett wasn't intimidated by her. She casually took out her phone and pulled up a message.
The corners of her lips curled up as she snorted. "I didn't want to come either, but Naomi Pierce invited me over and over again. So how did it become me throwing myself at your door? The invitation text Naomi Pierce sent me is still here. Do you want me to show it publicly right now?"
She really was here to cause trouble, but the time wasn't right yet.
