Chapter 780 - 779: Illegitimate Daughter
Renee Grant suddenly grabbed her a few times, and she immediately hit back, making Renee’s face swell.
"She’s coming for Felix Lockwood."
Simon Sterling affirmed in a calm voice.
Who is Renee Grant? He knows all too well.
He’s well aware of Claire Sullivan’s affairs; she gave birth to two children, married Joel Quinn, and was deceived by Joel and his daughter, he knew all of these.
Claire Sullivan didn’t like Simon Sterling’s intrusions; she touched her cheek again, "Luckily, I wasn’t scratched disfigured."
Though she’s of a certain age, after taking care of herself for so many years, if she got disfigured, she might as well die.
"Why did she come looking for you!"
Serena Sullivan asked.
Is it just because of Felix Lockwood?
Besides, Claire Sullivan is not with Felix Lockwood.
Claire Sullivan put the mirror back in her bag, "God knows where she heard such wild rumors, insisting that Felix Lockwood and I have an illegitimate daughter."
"It’s truly ridiculous."
Her with Felix Lockwood?
Claire Sullivan really felt like laughing; although she chose Joel Quinn as her husband back then, she had standards.
"There’s nothing ridiculous about it." Serena replied, "You even chose Joel Quinn."
After Serena finished speaking, she deliberately glanced at Simon Sterling behind her.
In some respects, it’s unlikely for these two who had been separated for over twenty years to get back together.
"It’s different." Claire Sullivan explained, "Joel Quinn listens to me."
"Yes, Felix Lockwood listens too, but he’s too good to me."
Since she was young, Felix Lockwood was always there, catering to her every whim, standing up for her when she was bullied, he was just very, very good.
"Too good is not okay!"
With Simon Sterling behind, Claire lowered her voice.
It’s not that she has a masochistic tendency, preferring men who treat her poorly, but Felix is too good, and she only sees him as a brother, trying to accept him would make her feel guilty.
Previously she thought, if she can’t be with the one she loves, she’d choose someone obedient and pampering to her, crafting her own dream.
Now, she no longer wants that, she just wishes to spend more time with Serena.
"Hmm!" Serena responded lightly, turning her head to look at Simon Sterling sitting behind.
Claire Sullivan was too engrossed in her words to notice Simon’s darkened expression.
When Claire married Joel Quinn, Simon didn’t react much!
Why did Simon always look upset when Felix Lockwood was mentioned!
"Regarding this matter, regardless if Renee Grant misunderstood, you should keep your distance from Felix Lockwood."
If Claire Sullivan doesn’t have that thought for Felix, distance is better.
Renee Grant, for Felix Lockwood, would drug her own brother; such a person going crazy is quite scary.
"Mm-hmm." Claire didn’t catch the probing in Serena’s words; she agreed without much thought.
Since she got beaten by Renee, the lunatic, because of Felix Lockwood, keeping distance is better.
"Serena, I’ll listen to you." Claire sincerely said, holding Serena’s hand.
Her top priority now is to take care of Serena and help her legs recover soon.
Claire Sullivan is staying with Serena at Ethan Grant’s place. Seeing Serena planning to stay permanently in the Imperial Capital, Ethan simply bought a villa in a location close to both The Sterling Residence and Deepwood.
Claire moved over, Serena had no objections, and Ethan welcomed her even more.
He understood Serena’s nature and noticed her change.
After experiencing life and death numerous times, Serena completely let go of Claire Sullivan, and she no longer rejected Simon Sterling either.
The past undoubtedly caused Serena great harm, and she wishes to start anew.
Once Ethan settled Serena, he got busy; previously he’d been staying in the hospital with her, leaving many matters delayed that he now hastened to handle.
Managing The Grant Corporation is essentially to provide a better support for Serena. Now backed by The Sterling Family, Ethan feels it’s still not enough.
