Faye Sterling furrowed her brow, glanced around, but didn’t see Eleanor Sterling’s figure.
Where did Eleanor run off to? Could it be she knew Anne was coming, so she was scared and hid away? Follow current novels on Nove1Fire.net
But hiding doesn’t matter, she’s destined to face ruin and disgrace.
Anne chuckled and said, "Queen, are you waiting for my mentor? She’ll be out soon. Don’t just stand here, maybe head inside and wait."
"Alright then." The Queen nodded.
Only then did everyone move from the entrance into the banquet hall.
With this event, everyone became curious about Yuna.
The person that could have the Queen standing outside in the cold wind for an hour waiting must really be something.
But Yuna is incredibly mysterious. Previously, when she won awards, she always sent her assistant to accept them, which made everyone only hear of her name but never see her in person.
Anne sent a message to Eleanor Sterling.
"Mentor, I’m here, where are you now? Faye Sterling is eagerly preparing to get at you, when are you coming to deal with the scum?"
At that moment, Eleanor Sterling was still trapped in the restroom, unable to move.
She felt her phone vibrate, knowing Anne had arrived.
Eleanor took the silver needle, held it in hand, aiming at the area beneath Alaric Faulkner’s abdomen.
"President Faulkner, if you don’t let me go, I won’t be polite."
"Hmm?" Alaric Faulkner glanced down, indifferent, "What does not being polite mean?"
Eleanor initially intended to say she’d make him impotent, but suddenly realized he sought her treatment for this minor issue.
Damn, there’s nothing to threaten him.
Eleanor was completely speechless.
She could only surrender, trying a conciliatory approach, "Alright, I admit defeat, let me go, I have things to do."
Alaric Faulkner liked her submissive look, he smirked, leaned towards her ear, whispered softly, "What are you going to do? Deal with Faye Sterling?"
Isn’t that his woman? Why does he look pleased with her misfortune? He even seems a bit excited?
Alaric Faulkner continued to laugh, "Then I can eagerly anticipate your performance."
He paused, his smile deepened, "Master Yuna."
Damn, her identity has leaked? Alaric Faulkner actually knew her identity all along?
While Eleanor was in a daze, Alaric Faulkner took the chance to peck her lips lightly again.
"Remember my words, stay away from other men."
After saying that, Alaric Faulkner released Eleanor Sterling.
Before leaving, Alaric Faulkner looked at her with a smile, dominantly declared, "Eleanor Sterling, I’m claiming you!"
Eleanor’s eyes twitched.
Alaric Faulkner opened the door and left, she still seemed a bit dazed.
After some time, Anne’s second message snapped her back to reality.
Anne: "Mentor, why aren’t you replying? Where are you? Didn’t something happen to you?"
Eleanor took out her phone to reply.
"What’s the rush? I just got bitten by a dog, I’ll be there soon, wait and I’ll show you a good show."
"Bitten by a dog? Is it serious? Do you need to go to the hospital for a rabies shot?"
Eleanor laughed heartily, she did want one, preferably one that could ward off a dog like Alaric Faulkner.
In the banquet hall, Anne looked at her phone with a face of helplessness, it seemed she’d have to endure the disgust a while longer to deal with Faye Sterling.
Eleanor fixed her makeup and tidied up before stepping outside.
No one noticed when Eleanor and Alaric Faulkner had left for a while.
Rosalie Ray saw Eleanor Sterling and said vigilantly, "Eleanor Sterling, where did you go?"
Eleanor glanced at her coolly, "To the restroom."
"Hmph!" Rosalie mocked, "I’m telling you, the Queen is here, don’t think of any tricks, the Queen was invited by Master Yuna.
Yuna is Faye’s grandmaster, don’t even think of using your petty projections to climb up to the Queen."
Eleanor paused, then started to laugh.
So impressive, she’s truly scared.
The earlier scene where Eleanor’s holographic projection drew everyone’s admiration worried Rosalie Ray, making her preemptively warn Eleanor.
Just not wanting her to block Faye Sterling’s path.
