Considering Serena’s relationship with The Ford Family, Claire Sullivan didn’t really want to get together with old friends.

After Madam Kane and Mrs. Kane walked away, First Mrs. Sterling asked Claire Sullivan, "Claire, are you an old acquaintance of Mrs. Kane?"

"Wendy Monroe?"

Claire Sullivan nodded, "During university, we lived in the same dormitory."

They were not only classmates but also the best of friends during their studies.

It’s just that she lost contact with people here after being driven out of the Imperial Capital, and she didn’t know Wendy would marry into The Ford Family.

Claire Sullivan and First Mrs. Sterling were curious about Claire’s relationship with Mrs. Kane, and even The Dowager Kane, who had left, wanted to know what was going on.

"Acquainted?"

"Yes."

The car arrived, and Mrs. Kane carefully helped the Dowager into the car with her head lowered.

"By the way, you and June were both graduates of Imperial Capital University."

"Mom, Claire and I used to be very good friends. We haven’t seen each other for so many years and have grown distant."

"If you’ve grown distant, you need to make time to communicate."

"Our Ford Family won’t delay you from associating with your friends." The Dowager Kane smirked with a gloomy smile.

Mrs. Kane understood her underlying intention and smiled, "I’ll listen to Mom."

The Dowager Kane patted the back of Mrs. Kane’s hand and said earnestly, "With Wayne gone, The Ford Family cannot be without an heir."

"I heard that the woman outside is pregnant. It would be perfect to bring her in for a check-up, and if it’s a son, let her give birth."

As soon as Wayne Jennings passed away, the woman outside immediately jumped out claiming pregnancy.

It hadn’t been long since he passed, but women were already claiming they were carrying The Ford Family’s descendant.

Mrs. Kane smiled and nodded, agreeing to each of the Dowager Kane’s arrangements.

The next night, James Sterling personally cooked, and both the Eldest Master and Second Master Sterling helped, preparing a large table of dishes.

Claire Sullivan originally didn’t want to come; going to Deepwood would certainly mean running into Mr. and Mrs. Sterling.

These two were not the critical issue; the critical issue was Simon Sterling.

After declining First Mrs. Sterling’s invitation, Serena called and asked her to come over.

Wyatt Sterling called again.

Both her daughter and son reached out to her; Claire Sullivan thought about Serena’s uncertain surgery and considered that this might be the last chance to have a meal together.

What Simon! What past matters! None is as important as dining with her daughter.

She agreed to go; Mr. and Mrs. Sterling were informed in advance and didn’t react much upon seeing Claire Sullivan.

With Serena and Wyatt accompanying her, Claire Sullivan wasn’t too uncomfortable after meeting the two elders.

Once the dishes were ready, Ethan Grant returned early, and only Simon Sterling hadn’t arrived yet.

In the afternoon, Wyatt Sterling had asked Simon to come earlier,

It was expected that Simon would come earlier today, but despite waiting, he hadn’t arrived.

The old master asked Wyatt to call Simon, but Simon’s phone couldn’t be reached.

This situation rarely happened, and it inevitably made The Sterling Family worry.

Simon indeed got held up by some matters; he finished work early, went to the mall to buy a gift for Serena.

While driving over, he received a call from the police station and rushed over.

June Kane was hospitalized due to poor mental health, and Simon had arranged for another psychiatrist to examine her today, plus The Ford Family stopped caring because of Felicity’s issues.

The report quickly came out showing June was pretending to be insane.

According to regulations, June needed to be taken back to the police station from the hospital.

However, as preparations were being made to bring her back, June claimed she needed to use the restroom, and then escaped through the hospital window, using the sewer and air conditioner outside.
