Mr. Grant Treats Me Like a Treasure
Chapter 690 - 689
Claire Sullivan wasn’t worried about the police coming again; innocence proves itself, and she truly hadn’t used it.
Even if the evidence and everyone said she did it.
"Was it June Kane’s doing?"
"June Kane?"
Serena Sullivan shook her head; it couldn’t be her.
Even though June and Simon Sterling had divorced, she wouldn’t joke about something like this.
"The other members of The Ford Family might, though."
Serena thought for a moment and said.
June Kane’s selfishness and self-centeredness were inherited from The Dowager Kane. The old woman had only Wayne Jennings, that useless grandson, in her mind and eyes, along with the prestigious status of The Ford Family. She was quite likely to bring up Claire Sullivan’s past disgrace to deal with Serena and Claire.
However, if it really was The Dowager Kane, she wouldn’t use a storytelling format; she’d choose a public setting to directly hold a press conference and publicly condemn Claire Sullivan’s wickedness.
Serena suddenly felt that there must be another person behind all these events.
For instance, the matter of June Kane being assaulted.
After her talk with Claire Sullivan, Serena set her cup down and rotated her chair to leave.
Claire Sullivan stood up, following her, standing in front of Serena, "Serena, do you trust me?"
Not receiving an answer from Serena, Claire was very fearful.
"Claire Sullivan, have you done it?"
Claire shook her head firmly.
"Since you haven’t, you needn’t worry about whether I trust you or not!"
Claire looked at Serena in confusion, afraid Serena might, like Simon Sterling, see her as vicious.
Serena seemed to have seen through Claire’s mind, "Those who care about you have always trusted you."
An outsider sees more clearly; Claire perhaps to this day doesn’t understand why she was able to come out unscathed back then!
It wasn’t the police who found evidence to prove her innocence, but someone who sacrificed themselves.
He said harsh words and did harsh deeds only to give Claire Sullivan a new beginning.
Serena’s gaze turned involuntarily sorrowful, she looked at Claire Sullivan, wanting to say something, eventually deciding not to.
Retracting her gaze from Claire Sullivan, she called over Yaya to help her leave.
Twenty years ago, when Simon Sterling intervened, it was naturally quickly suppressed.
However, once exposed, people naturally noticed.
And as the story began, it spread, and the more it circulated within Imperial Capital’s upper society, the richer the plot became, and more people knew.
Among the story’s two leading ladies, compared to Claire Sullivan, June Kane suffered more harm.
With her frail health, she heard these rumors from the servants’ mouths, flew into a great rage, and smashed everything in the house that could be broken.
Dragging her sickly body out to question The Dowager Kane.
The Dowager Kane flatly denied it, saying she didn’t release this past incident.
June connected it to what Mrs. Kane said, that Claire Sullivan stood to benefit the most from these past events being exposed.
She believed it!
Inside, she grew more and more resentful towards Claire and her daughter. She regretted her kindness years ago in sparing Claire.
"You needn’t worry too much about this matter."
Compared to June’s fury, The Dowager Kane was quite calm.
She wasn’t the one who exposed it, but she was quite pleased with it.
Nancy Sterling’s biological mother once committed a crime and entered the police station; reputation is excessively important for high society figures.
And once a blemish existed, whatever happened afterward, others’ impressions of her would significantly deteriorate.
"Our Ford Family hasn’t had much luck lately."
First, the car she was in got hit, then Wayne Jennings ended up in the hospital, and now some of The Sterling Corporation’s shares were taken away, and June Kane and Simon Sterling have divorced.
