Mr. Grant Treats Me Like a Treasure
Chapter 657 - 656: Settling Accounts with Simon Sterling
The unyielding waitress frustrated Mrs. Kane, who left with a warning: if something goes wrong later, it’s her own fault. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Mrs. Kane returned to the Ford Family and told the Dowager Kane about the disobedient waitress, seeking her approval to retaliate.
Just as she finished explaining, the police arrived again.
This time, they weren’t bringing Wayne Jennings back; they were there to take Mrs. Kane away.
The police presented a video, shot clearly and with excellent audio quality.
Mrs. Kane’s threats to the waitress were recorded distinctly.
The police also reported that after Mrs. Kane left, the waitress was hit by a car while buying food opposite the hospital.
Based on the video, they suspected Mrs. Kane’s involvement.
As a result, Mrs. Kane was also taken away by the police for investigation.
With two family members taken away, news outlets broadcasted heavily about the Ford Family’s arrogance, detailing how Mrs. Kane threatened victims, and compiled Wayne Jennings’s misdeeds over the years for online exposure.
Wayne Jennings’s past antics were beyond excessive.
Mr. Kane mostly just dabbled with women without causing fatal harm.
Wayne Jennings, however, would stop at nothing—rape of underage girls, crippling others—it seemed he left no sin uncommitted.
Watching video after video of Wayne’s misdeeds on her phone, she struggled to remember them all.
Yet someone recalled everything with sharp clarity.
A report reached the police, accusing Wayne Jennings of drug use.
Blood tests confirmed the presence of drugs in Wayne Jennings’s system.
Matters snowballed beyond the control of the Dowager Kane and the Ford Family.
Overwhelmed by the flood of news condemning the family, the Dowager Kane’s blood pressure spiked, causing her to faint again.
The family had no choice but to summon Mr. Kane back, who, upon seeing that the Dowager had not passed away, spent half the day sitting and then left to meet a lover.
Upon regaining consciousness, the Dowager Kane almost fainted again from anger but mustered the strength to decide on a visit to The Sterling Corporation.
The situation with Wayne Jennings couldn’t have escalated this much without someone orchestrating it.
The Dowager Kane was convinced Mr. Sterling was behind it. Calling June Kane to accompany her to The Sterling Corporation, she simultaneously made other arrangements.
Regarding the waitress, Mr. Sterling had everything in place; no matter how the Ford Family threatened or enticed, it was of no use.
If this lead was futile, they would pursue another.
Simon Sterling used Wayne Jennings to threaten their family, so they would counter-threaten with someone Simon Sterling cared about!
June Kane agreed eagerly to the Dowager’s call, changed her clothes in her room, and glanced in the mirror before leaving.
In the reflection, her skin lacked luster, and delicate lines crept at her eyes. She thought of Claire Sullivan, a woman whose beauty far surpassed her own.
The first time she met Claire Sullivan was twenty years ago at Imperial Capital University. She found her beautiful, never imagining she would get involved with Simon Sterling.
Encountering Claire Sullivan again, someone pointed out her silhouette, stating she was with Professor Sterling.
Professor Sterling referred to Simon Sterling, who was teaching at the university then.
Scenes from the past flooded her mind, contorting June Kane’s face with rage.
After Serena Sullivan’s engagement party, she felt messy and fearful, especially as Simon Sterling avoided her, staying out all day, with even Wyatt Sterling, the little bastard, moving out of The Sterling Residence.
