Mr. Grant Treats Me Like a Treasure-Chapter 260 - 259: The Slap Landed

Ruth Hale looked at Serena Sullivan, who was smiling warmly at her, straightened her back, and said, "Have Serena hold a press conference and tell everyone that she really plagiarized Zoe’s work four years ago."

"Also, bring me back to The Sullivan Corporation."

"I want the position of Chief Designer at The Sullivan Corporation."

"Of course, you have to double my salary, otherwise don’t think about me returning."

"Then don’t come back."

Just as Ruth finished speaking, Claire Sullivan smiled and replied nonchalantly.

That look in her eyes, that tone of speaking, felt familiar to Zoe Quinn, who was standing behind Ruth.

Yes, Serena is like this too!

Claire had always wondered who her daughter resembled. She liked to show a fake smile and spoke with a sharp tongue.

Actually, it was like her in the past.

"What did you say!"

Ruth was stunned, staring at Claire in disbelief.

Even Zoe Quinn was taken aback.

Claire had treated Ruth like a close friend all these years, paying for her tuition and introducing her to resources. This sudden change left both Zoe and Ruth panicked.

Only Joel Quinn on the stairs didn’t seem so surprised.

Yesterday, Claire returned from the Brilliance Competition venue around four in the morning. Despite always valuing her sleep, she did not rest but drove directly to the market to buy groceries and then went to the kitchen to make soup.

After finishing the soup, she went to The Sullivan Corporation.

How could she still think Serena plagiarized Zoe’s work, and how could she be deceived by Ruth and Zoe here?

If someone is truly that easy to fool, it’s because she’s willing to be fooled.

When she woke up, she could see things more clearly.

"I said get out of The Sullivan Family."

Claire lowered her voice, speaking coldly.

Meeting Claire’s now indifferent eyes, Ruth exclaimed in shock, "Claire Sullivan, what kind of attitude is this!" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Serena bullied Zoe, and instead of helping, you’re here to humiliate me."

Ruth raised her voice, both angry and aggrieved.

"Humiliate you!"

Claire found this statement ridiculous and laughed, "Ruth, you know very well how I’ve treated you all these years!"

"I am even clearer whether Serena plagiarized Zoe Quinn’s work."

"Don’t think I’m truly a fool!"

Claire’s voice was sharp and clear as she spoke each word, gritting her teeth in resentment, "I have severed the mother-daughter relationship with her. I don’t plan on having this daughter! But she is the one I gave birth to!"

"Bitch! Who are you calling a bitch!"

As soon as she spoke, while Ruth was stunned, Claire raised her hand and slapped Ruth.

The sound of the slap echoed throughout the Sullivan family’s living room, leaving Zoe Quinn dumbfounded.

Ruth covered her stinging cheek, staring at Claire in disbelief, "You dare to hit me!"

Claire Sullivan actually hit her, this useless woman, she struck!

"Why shouldn’t I hit you!"

Claire retorted, "You called my daughter a bitch, isn’t that indirectly calling me one."

Seeing through Ruth’s intentions, Ruth’s face stiffened, unsure of how to respond.

"Ruth, it was I who funded you to learn design, it was I who helped you become a famous designer in Solaria. And this is how you repay me!"

"Conspiring with my beloved stepdaughter..." Claire turned her head and coldly glanced at Zoe Quinn, her heart breaking.

How foolish she must have been to be used as a tool by others.

"Framing my daughter."

"Now, she’s crippled with both legs and has become a wreck, and I still need to help you bully her."

As Claire spoke, tears began to fall down her face.
