Mr. Grant Treats Me Like a Treasure

Chapter 786 - 785: So Helpless

Moreover, at that time, she had a man she liked.

So why did she make that choice? Was it to covet the Ford Family’s wealth, or was she forced!

All these years, Wendy Monroe remained low-key and meek, and everyone overlooked her, possibly even The Dowager Kane.

Until June Kane was imprisoned, Wayne Jennings died, and The Dowager Kane fell ill, Wendy Monroe suddenly emerged.

On the surface, these events seemed unrelated, but in hindsight, it all appeared to be preparations for Wendy Monroe to take control of the Kane Group’s power. Moreover, she was smart enough not to make an enemy of The Sterling Family; when she couldn’t meet Mr. Sterling, she immediately made nice with Claire Sullivan!

"Serena, did you ask about her because something happened?"

"Did she come to settle scores with you again over Wayne Jennings’ matter?"

Wayne Jennings’ death had nothing to do with Serena Sullivan, but knowing The Dowager Kane’s temperament, she would certainly try to connect it to Serena.

"No!"

Serena Sullivan shook her head. She looked at Claire Sullivan, who was full of worry for her, and said, "Mom, see less of her."

Claire Sullivan isn’t a match for Wendy Monroe at all.

What Wendy Monroe’s sudden contact with Claire Sullivan was for, no one knew.

"Okay!" Claire Sullivan nodded. She didn’t like the Kane Family in the first place and never intended to meet Wendy Monroe.

The past relationships have faded over so many years.

"Serena, don’t worry; I’ll listen to you," Claire Sullivan smiled, trying to please Serena. "Oh, by the way, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Claire Sullivan was staying with Serena, pondering every night on what to cook for her and Ethan Grant.

Claire Sullivan’s cooking is truly remarkable.

"Anything is fine." Serena nodded, thinking about the message Wyatt Sterling sent earlier, "My brother is coming too."

"Great!" Claire Sullivan was even happier and turned to the kitchen to figure out what more to cook to make Serena and Wyatt enjoy the meal.

"He might come along too."

Just as Claire Sullivan reached the kitchen door, she heard Serena add, "He’s my dad; there’s no way to refuse."

Serena showed helplessness.

Claire Sullivan was reluctant when she heard Serena say Simon Sterling might come along.

She didn’t want to see Simon Sterling.

However, hearing Serena’s helplessness, she could only grit her teeth and comfort herself.

Forget it, just think of him as a "dog" coming home.

In the evening, Simon Sterling and Wyatt Sterling came to eat. Seeing Wyatt, Claire Sullivan was extremely happy.

With both her daughter and son around, there was of course an extra person.

She ignored Simon Sterling, welcomed Wyatt, and then turned to the kitchen.

While she was scooping the dish from the pot, she heard footsteps behind her, assuming it was Wyatt or Ethan Grant, without much thought, she handed the plate over.

"Here, take it to the dining table."

Fingers reached over, steadily taking the plate. Claire Sullivan looked up to see Simon Sterling’s extremely handsome face.

She was momentarily stunned, remembering the first time she saw Simon Sterling playing the piano outside the classroom. With just one look, she, like other girls, was entranced.

Back then she wondered, how could there be such a beautiful man in this world!

She wondered what he would be like when he grew old!

He had aged now, his appearance unchanged, but with his role as the leader of The Sterling Corporation, he carried a mature charm and the oppressive aura of being in a high position.

Such a man, Claire Sullivan feared more.

"Okay!"

Simon Sterling replied softly, turned and took the plate out to the dining room.

He soon returned, watching Claire Sullivan cooking, his gaze lost as he watched her hands moving back and forth in the pot.
