Even though Claire Sullivan’s past was reported in the form of stories, The Sterling Corporation quickly suppressed it. Yet those who were meant to see, still saw.

Finn Chandler took a photo of it and immediately sent it to Serena Sullivan.

Though it’s a story, there’s absolutely no smoke without fire.

Claire Sullivan clicked on the text of the image, and when she saw the story, her face changed. She looked up at Serena, her eyes visibly filled with panic and fear.

"Serena, things aren’t how they’re saying."

Some things have indeed been too long past, long enough for Claire Sullivan not to want to recall, yet these events are ingrained in her bones, forcing her to remember.

She was ousted from the Imperial Capital, once believing she’d forget everything that happened here, even when the elder Mr. Sullivan asked her about it, she refused to speak.

But in reality, how could they not know!

"Speak."

Serena seemed very calm, she picked up the water cup on the table and took a slow sip.

When she saw the story in the news, there was no way she could stay calm!

Just how many things have Claire Sullivan and Wyatt Sterling hidden from her!

Since the matter has been exposed, and since Serena asked, Claire Sullivan no longer wants to hide, she took a deep breath, adjusted her mood.

"It’s like this."

Claire Sullivan slowly began, closing her eyes, and the scenes from her past flashed through her mind. When she reopened her eyes, she saw her past self.

"After I got together with him, it wasn’t long before we had you all."

You all!

In Claire’s heart, Wyatt Sterling and Serena were both her children.

Therefore, she casually mentioned "you all" when she talked about the past.

Serena heard this, froze for a moment, and looked up at Claire Sullivan in confusion, but Claire continued with her story.

"He took me to The Sterling Family, planning to marry me."

"But suddenly something happened."

"June Kane got into trouble!"

Serena asked.

"Yes!"

Claire Sullivan nodded, "I still don’t know how she got into trouble."

Regarding June Kane’s rape incident, Claire Sullivan was still in a daze.

"The day after she got into trouble, the police came and took me away."

During those days, because of her, Simon Sterling resigned from school and took over The Sterling Corporation. For one of The Sterling Corporation’s projects, he went abroad with the elder Mr. Sterling.

She lived alone in an apartment outside, and one morning, the police came and said she found someone to rape June Kane.

She was so inexplicably taken to the police station.

Then, the police took out her cell phone.

"There were a few text messages on my phone, sent with the man who raped June Kane, and a transfer message."

"It’s really strange, I never sent these messages."

Yet, there was only her fingerprint on the phone, and she can’t remember who exactly touched her phone.

During that time, she started experiencing morning sickness and sleepiness, always feeling incredibly unwell.

She had good relations at school, interacted with many people during the day, but who among them touched her phone, she really couldn’t recall.

"Also, that man testified that I arranged for him to do it."

At this point, Claire Sullivan looked at Serena, assuring her, "Serena, truly, I never harmed June Kane."

"I was about to marry Simon Sterling."

"Even if she’s the young lady of The Ford Family, she has wealth and influence, but I have a child in my belly, she couldn’t have won over me."

Claire Sullivan was very clear about the reasons why she didn’t do such a thing.
