CHAPTER 138: CHAPTER 138: WHY DID CLARA STERLING DRESS SO BEAUTIFULLY TODAY?

At this moment, Diana Dawson, Jolyn Lowell, and Richard Rhodes saw Clara Sterling.

"She actually has the nerve to come?" Diana Dawson rolled her eyes, "Come on, let’s go meet her."

As soon as the three approached, they heard Isaac Sutton say, "You’d rather be his lover than come back to me? Clara, when did you become so willing to fall?"

"Lover?" Diana Dawson exaggeratedly widened her eyes, "Clara Sterling, you really have a sugar daddy behind you. I knew there was something fishy about that Jonah Shaw incident. You were stubborn before, but now it’s confirmed, huh, what good is being pretty? You’ve been dirty for a while."

"Who are you calling dirty? If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll rip your mouth apart." Anabelle Spencer angrily retorted.

Diana Dawson thought of how Julian Hawthorne had admitted to liking Clara Sterling to her face, and she was filled with anger.

"You’ve resigned yet still come to attend the company anniversary celebration, dressed like this. Are you trying to use this opportunity to fish for a catch at the banquet?"

"Your face is really thick, what was that phrase again?" Richard Rhodes also mocked, "A person without shame is invincible."

Jolyn Lowell chimed in, "Tsk tsk, you must be here for President Hawthorne, right? I feel embarrassed for you."

Anabelle Spencer impulsively wanted to slap them a few times, but Clara Sterling stopped her, "Don’t act impulsively, Anabelle."

In such an occasion, a fight would be too ugly.

Besides, today is the Sheffield anniversary celebration, and as the wife of the Sheffield President, she should control the scene.

With Clara Sterling holding her back, Anabelle Spencer calmed down.

What was the point of being upset with these petty people? Soon Silas Sheffield would come and publicly announce their relationship, and there’d be a good show to watch.

Thinking of this, Anabelle Spencer smiled and said no more.

At this moment, Evan Grant saw Clara Sterling and also came over.

"You’re here." Evan Grant looked surprised, "I finally get to see you."

"Hello." Clara Sterling greeted politely but distantly.

Evan Grant asked, "I heard you resigned? What’s going on?"

Clara Sterling remained indifferent, "Mr. Grant, I don’t think we’re that familiar. There’s no need to explain why I resigned."

The smile on Evan Grant’s face stiffened.

"What’s with the act, playing the high and mighty?" Mandy Lynn, seeing her man getting snubbed by Clara Sterling, felt a sudden surge of irritation.

She scanned Clara Sterling up and down, sneering, "If you’re really so high-minded, you wouldn’t have dressed so grandly to attend the anniversary celebration today. Everyone knows your intent."

Clara Sterling wasn’t angry, instead, she smiled and asked, "What are my intentions?"

Mandy Lynn sneered, "Of course, you’re trying to seduce men."

"You think everyone is like you, with men on their mind all day?" Clara Sterling mocked, "Sorry, I have no interest in your man, stop treating me as your imaginary rival."

"Ha, is your dress fake?" Mandy Lynn looked disdainful, "This dress is a new high-end couture from V-house, worth over three million. If you’re wearing a fake, shouldn’t you wear something cheaper? You wear such an expensive piece, everyone knows it’s fake because you simply can’t afford it."

Mandy Lynn paused, "Oh, you’re not just unable to afford it, you don’t even qualify to buy it. Such luxury brand couture is only available to VIP clients. You, a dismal working-class, shouldn’t even think about it."

Clara Sterling smiled and said, "Is that so? Then you didn’t buy it because you don’t like it?"

Mandy Lynn’s expression darkened.

Anabelle Spencer giggled, "She loves it too much. Of course, she didn’t buy it because she’s not a brand VIP client and doesn’t qualify."

"What do you mean, Anabelle Spencer?" Mandy Lynn’s face turned as dark as a pot.

"Am I wrong?" Anabelle Spencer laughed, "As far as I know, the five-million dress you wore at my birthday party was bought from Yates, right?"

Yates was also a rich heiress in Anabelle Spencer’s circle, a VIP customer of many luxury brands.

Last time, to make a show at Anabelle Spencer’s birthday party, Mandy Lynn specifically asked Yates to help her buy a five-million couture dress.

With Evan Grant still standing by, Anabelle Spencer didn’t spare Mandy Lynn’s face, revealing the truth, making Mandy Lynn’s complexion alternate between green and white.

"Anabelle Spencer, don’t be so pleased with yourself thinking she’s genuinely treating you as a friend. She’s only doing it because you’re a Spencer Family heiress. You’re really a simpleton, willingly being milked for money?"

"Ha, even if Clara is such a person, I’m willing to let her milk me, so what?"

Mandy Lynn sneered, "Don’t say too much. When she truly milks you and uses you as a stepping stone to meet quality men in your circle, don’t regret it."

Just then, Sophie Sheffield finally arrived, albeit late.

"Clara, sorry to keep you waiting, a client just called me."

"It’s no problem." Clara Sterling smiled gently.

"Are these your friends?" Sophie Sheffield asked.

Clara Sterling cheerfully introduced Anabelle Spencer and Lisa Holloway to Sophie Sheffield.

"They are new friends I’ve made at Sheffield."

Sophie Sheffield smiled and extended her hand to Anabelle Spencer and Lisa Holloway.

"Hello, I’m Sophie Sheffield, Clara’s best friend. We’ve known each other since high school."

"Your last name is Sheffield? Are you related to our President Sheffield..." Lisa Holloway was surprised.

Sophie Sheffield gave a gentle smile, "Siblings."

"Wow, so you’re our little..."

Lisa Holloway wanted to say "sister-in-law."

But considering that Silas Sheffield was about to announce his marriage and reveal his relationship with Clara, she quickly changed her tone and smiled warmly, "So you’re the young boss."

Beside them, Diana Dawson, Jolyn Lowell, and Richard Rhodes, upon realizing Clara Sterling was best friends with President Sheffield’s sister, their expressions changed instantly.

Clara Sterling actually knew the Sheffield heiress?

Why had they never heard her mention it?

If it were anyone else, with such a connection, they would have long entered Sheffield’s headquarters management. Would she still be a small assistant at the branch?

The group, each with their own thoughts, looked displeased.

All worried that Clara Sterling would complain to Sophie Sheffield, fearing they might suffer retaliation.

Mandy Lynn and Evan Grant were also shocked that Clara Sterling had such a good relationship with the Sheffield heiress.

Isaac Sutton had long known.

He wasn’t concerned about Clara Sterling’s relationship with Sophie Sheffield.

When he first saw Clara Sterling earlier, her beauty stunned him, and he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

He had never seen Clara Sterling dressed in high-end couture, looking so beautiful.

After hearing those colleagues mock Clara Sterling, Isaac Sutton suddenly realized, what was Clara Sterling dressed so beautifully for today?

Suddenly, the lights in the banquet hall dimmed.

The spotlight gathered on the large stage at the front.

Silas Sheffield, dressed in a black high-end custom suit, walked onto the stage with confident steps.
