Chapter 655: Chapter 654: The Final Act Ends

When Wayne Jennings was taken away by the police, it didn’t take long for news to spread throughout the Imperial Capital.

During the entire engagement party, the most talked-about topic among the guests wasn’t the Eldest Miss Sterling’s legs and background, nor Claire Sullivan’s sudden appearance, and not even the past affairs of Simon Sterling and Claire Sullivan.

Rather, it was the Kane Family!

It was Wayne Jennings recklessly assaulting a female attendant in the restroom, and The Dowager Kane arrogantly threatening guests to give false testimony.

The Kane Family had never stirred such a storm in the Imperial Capital.

The Dowager Kane listened to the surrounding gossip, feeling dizzy, as she haphazardly chased after the police taking Wayne Jennings away, watching him get into the police car, hearing him cry out in fear, shouting "Grandma". Her vision darkened, anger rushing to her heart, causing her blood pressure to spike, and she fainted.

As the backbone of the Kane Family, The Dowager Kane fainting caused chaos among the rest.

Wayne Jennings’s incident was just the beginning!

The Eldest Miss Sterling’s engagement party ended with the collapse of the Kane Family’s main figure.

At the party, Serena Sullivan and others were momentarily stunned upon hearing Wayne Jennings was taken away, but soon regained their composure.

The Sterling Family saw through everything even more clearly.

Claire Sullivan had no fondness for the Kane Family; she had been wronged by them years ago, and, combined with their relentless pursuit of Serena and herself, her dislike for them grew stronger.

Seeing the time was about right, she proposed leaving.

Serena Sullivan escorted Claire Sullivan outside to the lobby, where a car pulled up.

When the car door opened, Felix Lockwood came out, causing Claire Sullivan to pause for a moment.

Felix Lockwood had been waiting outside the hotel, and upon seeing Claire Sullivan come out, he quickly drove over.

He got out of the car and walked over to Serena Sullivan with a smile.

"Serena, long time no see."

Serena Sullivan didn’t know Felix Lockwood very well, but it was obvious he truly liked Claire Sullivan.

Otherwise, when Claire Sullivan returned to Solaria pregnant, he would have gone to The Sullivan Family to ask for her hand. When Claire divorced, he promptly pursued her.

"Hello, Uncle Felix."

Serena Sullivan greeted him with a smile.

"Why did you come?" Claire Sullivan asked. "I can go back by myself."

Claire Sullivan softened her voice and instinctively stepped back toward Serena Sullivan when Felix Lockwood approached.

The sudden appearance of Felix Lockwood made Claire Sullivan feel somewhat uneasy before Serena.

In short, at the entrance of The Sterling Hotel, she felt entirely uncomfortable.

"Came to pick you up," Felix Lockwood replied gently.

He accompanied Claire Sullivan to the Imperial Capital, attending Serena’s engagement party, and worriedly followed along.

"Serena, I’m leaving now."

Claire Sullivan wanted to explain matters between herself and Felix Lockwood to Serena Sullivan.

Yet, she didn’t know how to begin speaking!

For the kindness Felix Lockwood offered her, she had refused it twenty years ago. And twenty years later, after both had divorced, he pursued her again, yet she still refused.

Felix Lockwood said he wanted to persist this time!

She feared embarking on another relationship, fearing it would hurt her fragile heart.

She glimpsed shadows of people within the hotel’s lobby and swallowed back the words she wanted to say.

"I’m heading back now."

Claire Sullivan finished speaking and quickly got into the car and left.

As the car drove away, Ethan Grant prepared to help Serena Sullivan into the car, and behind them came Wyatt Sterling’s voice.

"Serena!"

Ethan Grant and Serena Sullivan turned their heads to see Wyatt Sterling, alongside Mr. Sterling standing in the lobby.

"Did Mrs. Sullivan leave?"

Wyatt Sterling asked.

"Yes!"

Serena Sullivan nodded.

"Oh," Wyatt Sterling responded, knowing he could contact Claire Sullivan later for a private meeting.

"Don’t worry about Wayne Jennings’s situation; Dad and I will handle it well." Wyatt Sterling helped Serena Sullivan into the car.

Serena Sullivan smiled and nodded, knowing full well.

Tonight, the ultimate act regarding the Kane Family was orchestrated by Mr. Sterling.
