Mr. Grant Treats Me Like a Treasure
Chapter 686 - 685: Past Stories Exposed
Mrs. Kane stood up, smiling as she took over the conversation, "I’ll go check on Mother, and then arrange for the hospital to come see you."
"Felicity only has you now, so you must take care."
After finishing her words, Mrs. Kane turned and walked out the door. As the door closed, her lips curled up, exuding coldness.
This Ford Family probably won’t have much time to bask in glory.
After Mrs. Kane left, June Kane felt even more uneasy.
Now that she had divorced Simon Sterling, and knowing they were aware of what she had done, she closed her eyes to rest and suddenly recalled the tragic event that happened to her twenty years ago.
That man pressed down on her, forcefully taking away her purity in madness.
And the person who orchestrated it all was Claire Sullivan.
June Kane suddenly opened her eyes again, questioning why Claire Sullivan, after committing such a grave offense, could still live serenely for so many years under Simon Sterling’s protection.
While she, June, had become just a stepping stone for Simon. It wouldn’t be long before Simon reconciles with Claire, and their family would be together again.
The more June thought about it, the more she couldn’t fall asleep. Already soaking in cold water all night, her body grew weak. Coupled with the stress, she came down with a high fever soon after.
Felicity Sterling, upon hearing the news, had no choice but to visit the Ford Family to see June Kane.
Even though she disliked being there, and feared Wayne Jennings, she still came.
June Kane feared most that the event from twenty years ago would get exposed, dreading that The Dowager Kane would use it against Simon and them, exploiting it to strike Claire Sullivan.
Her worries materialized.
A media outlet, somehow having gotten the scoop, reported on an event from the past.
It wasn’t treated as news but rather presented as a story.
It depicted the biological mother of the Eldest Miss Sterling as having incited someone to commit a crime twenty years ago, hiring a man to assault the Ford Family’s eldest daughter, all to win Simon Sterling.
However, when the perpetrator was caught by the police, he immediately accused the biological mother of the Eldest Miss Sterling. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Subsequently, for some unknown reason, due to a lack of evidence, the mother was released.
In the blink of an eye, over twenty years had passed. Claire Sullivan returned to the Imperial Capital, sparking heated discussions among the audience after the media’s story report.
The assault case on the Ford Family’s eldest daughter had been buried for years. Back then, to save face, the Ford Family barred any media coverage, be it lawsuits or other matters.
Furthermore, The Sterling Family also didn’t want the media and others to talk about it, and similarly, suppressed it.
With both families suppressing it, by the end, very few people knew about it. Even those who did likely forgot as the years went by.
The media’s sudden narrative about Claire Sullivan’s and June Kane’s feud immediately stirred a storm.
Although it didn’t take long for The Sterling Corporation to pay to squash the coverage, it marked the beginning of reopening the case from twenty years ago.
Serena Sullivan hadn’t seen the report in time. She received a call from Claire Sullivan, and the two found a quiet place to talk.
Last night, Serena was furious at June Kane and left in a hurry, which greatly worried Claire Sullivan.
She waited until Serena got off work to invite her out.
Now, wherever Serena went, not only did she have Yaya protecting her, but The Sterling Family also arranged for numerous bodyguards. For her meeting with Claire, The Sterling Family even had this venue cleared.
This arrangement was clearly organized by Simon Sterling, as Claire Sullivan observed.
She glanced at the bodyguards standing outside, thinking that returning to The Sterling Family for Serena wasn’t all bad—at least there were more people ensuring her safety.
