Mr. Grant Treats Me Like a Treasure-Chapter 258 - 257: What Kind of Attitude Is That?

She returned to the Sullivan Residence, looking at the grand gate of her home, feeling only estrangement.

The Sullivan Family, it was where she grew up, and also where Serena Sullivan grew up.

After the Sullivan Corporation made money, she had the capital to buy a villa elsewhere, but somehow, she hadn’t!

Together with Joel Quinn, she bought a house for him outside, yet she didn’t move out.

Reluctant to sell this place, especially as the Solaria housing prices skyrocketed, the Sullivan Residence became invaluable, and she was unwilling to part with it.

Claire Sullivan stepped in, a servant approached and softly informed her, "Miss Hale is here."

Upon hearing Ruth Hale’s name, Claire Sullivan didn’t react with joy as she used to, rather, she frowned.

She hurried inside, in the living room Ruth Hale was sitting on the sofa, comforting Zoe Quinn.

"Claire Sullivan, why are you only back now!"

Ruth Hale looked up, as a guest she made no move to stand up to greet the host.

"Mom!"

Zoe Quinn saw Claire Sullivan, quickly got up and went to her.

Her eyes were swollen from crying, she looked pitifully at Claire Sullivan.

Ever since The Brilliance Competition ended, Claire Sullivan hadn’t paid attention to her.

This made her more flustered than the last time with the plagiarism at The Grant Corporation’s draft meeting. Claire Sullivan had never gone so long without speaking to her, seeing her tears, remained indifferent.

"Is there anything you need?"

Claire Sullivan didn’t behave as before, seeing Ruth Hale, didn’t smile happily, nor did she get anxious seeing Zoe cry.

"Claire Sullivan, what kind of attitude is this!"

Ruth Hale’s anger instantly flared, Claire Sullivan actually spoke to her in such a cold tone, and didn’t comfort Zoe.

"What do you want to say!"

Claire Sullivan replied in a lowered voice, she was in a lousy mood then, looking at Ruth Hale questioning her, she was quite irritated.

Ruth Hale was stunned, looking in bewilderment at the unfamiliar Claire Sullivan.

When had she heard Claire Sullivan speak with such a cold tone, and when had she seen her put on such an attitude.

Over the years, she and Zoe had run circles around Claire, always thinking Claire was useless.

They forgot, Claire once managed the Sullivan Corporation, although not operating it brilliantly, it wasn’t bad either.

A woman, able to compete with men for resources and funds in the business world, couldn’t possibly be truly useless.

"Claire Sullivan, Zoe is being wronged."

Ruth Hale softened her tone, at The Brilliance Competition she took all the blame on herself to protect Zoe Quinn’s reputation.

However, this incident had a significant impact on her.

Orders from her studio were cancelled within an hour after the competition.

Things got worse today, the designers in her studio resigned one by one, even the landlord came in saying he wouldn’t rent the shop to her anymore.

She had no choice but to come to the Sullivan Residence, firstly to check on Zoe, secondly to get Claire Sullivan to bring her back to the Sullivan Corporation.

"Wronged in what way?"

Claire Sullivan had the servant bring her health tea, she sat on the sofa, crossing her legs listening to Ruth Hale continue.

Claire Sullivan had been living in comfort all these years, paying great attention to her face, and knew how to take care of it.

"Didn’t she plagiarize Serena Sullivan’s work?"

Here, Claire Sullivan mentioned "Serena," hearing this brought a smile to Ruth Hale’s face.

Indeed, within Claire Sullivan’s heart, she still disliked Serena Sullivan.

"Of course, Zoe couldn’t possibly plagiarize Serena Sullivan’s work!"

"You’ve always known Zoe’s ability and level." Ruth Hale looked at Claire Sullivan slowly eating bird’s nest, then at Claire Sullivan’s fair and smooth face, a sliver of disgust seeped from her eyes.
