Chapter 785: Chapter 784: Shifting Perceptions
After returning from the Sterling Family’s old mansion, Serena Sullivan inexplicably became interested in Mrs. Kane’s affairs.
Although, in the end, the Sterling Family didn’t let Mrs. Kane in.
She returned home to find Claire Sullivan on the phone with someone.
"Sorry, I’m not free tomorrow!"
"The day after, either. Let’s meet when I’m available."
Claire turned around and saw Serena and Ethan Grant returning, quickly ending her call and walking over to Serena.
"Was that Felix Lockwood’s call?"
Serena’s gaze fell on Claire’s still-lit phone screen.
Serena thought Claire was a very fortunate woman. Years ago, after being framed, Simon Sterling sacrificed his lifelong happiness for her. Later, she found Joel Quinn. Although he had ulterior motives, he was very obedient in front of Claire to gain access to her wealth.
Now, there’s Felix Lockwood, who’s even more devoted. When Claire returned to Solaria, pregnant, he didn’t mind and went to The Sullivan Family to propose. After Claire’s divorce, he followed suit by getting a divorce himself!
Indeed, Felix and Claire divorced one after another. There was nothing between them, but in Renee Grant’s eyes, there was definitely something, so rumors of an illegitimate daughter weren’t out of the question.
"No!"
Claire shook her head and replied, guiding Serena into the living room where her favorite fruits were laid out on the coffee table.
"It was Wendy Monroe."
Wendy Monroe?
Serena was momentarily stunned as she quickly recalled that Wendy Monroe was Mrs. Kane.
Just at the entrance of the Sterling Family’s old mansion earlier, Wendy had brought along her niece. How quickly she turned around and invited Claire out!
"Mom." Serena became even more intrigued by Mrs. Kane—Wendy Monroe’s matters.
"What’s Wendy Monroe’s family background like?"
"Family background?"
Claire was surprised, "What family background?"
When it comes to family background, at the very least, the parents need to have proper jobs, like Claire. Her family might not be an illustrious or noble one, but in Solaria, her parents were well-known. Many esteemed disciples followed her grandfather, Mr. Sullivan, in learning painting and calligraphy!
"Her family was very poor. During college, she had good grades and received scholarships every year, but sometimes she couldn’t even afford food."
"With the scholarship, her tuition was settled, and with some part-time work, she should have been able to afford food."
"She had a brother."
Regarding Wendy Monroe’s family, Claire, who shared the same dorm, naturally knew well. They used to have a very good relationship.
"Her brother was a ’Vampire.’
Wendy’s brother didn’t earn money, and their parents were biased, always demanding money from Wendy.
"When Wendy didn’t give them money, they would come to her school and cause a scene, making it impossible for her to stay there."
Claire had a very deep impression of the incidents where Wendy’s brother and parents came to the school to demand money.
She had never seen such partial parents, forcibly demanding a student like Wendy to earn money to support a fully capable brother.
"I couldn’t bear it, so I often took her out for meals. All in all, she was my best friend during college."
Claire reminisced, "After I was driven out of the Imperial Capital by the Sterlings, I never saw her again."
"I never would have thought she would marry June Kane’s brother."
"I always thought she would come to Solaria and marry Lu..."
Claire stopped as she glanced at Ethan, who was busy handling work on his phone, feeling embarrassed to finish her sentence.
Even though she didn’t finish, Serena guessed who she was referring to.
Hearing about Wendy Monroe’s story from Claire, Serena’s understanding of this person was completely reshaped.
How does someone from the lowest position become Mrs. Kane?
The Ford Family’s matriarch was no pushover! To allow a girl with nothing, dragging along a ’Vampire’ brother, to marry in!
