After the incident, Jared Grant recovered from his illness and upon returning to the company, was directly assigned under Claire Ellison.
This could be described as a meteoric rise.
As the saying goes, "being close to the water tower, first to see the moon," combined with Jared Grant's tactics, it was only a matter of time before Claire Ellison fell in love.
However, Old Master Ellison disagreed; he saw through Jared Grant as an unreliable person.
At the time, Claire Ellison thought that Old Master Sterling wanted her to marry another consortium for a business alliance, which Claire Ellison very much disliked.
There was no love, only collaboration, and after marriage, they each would lead separate lives.
Claire Ellison, being independent-minded, directly slept with Jared Grant and only told Old Master Ellison after she got pregnant.
Old Master Ellison was almost infuriated to the point of illness, but ultimately had no choice but to agree.
