Seeing George Sterling in such a frantic state, a hint of mockery flashed in Eleanor Sterling’s eyes, and her expression suddenly turned cold.
Her expression was icy as she looked at George Sterling and said, "Evil intentions? Will I not be evil if I withdraw the lawsuit?"
Her father has always favored Faye Sterling.
If she hadn’t fought back, she would have been the one taken away right now, wouldn’t she?
Then if she were the one arrested, would George Sterling say Faye Sterling is evil?
Back then, Faye Sterling teamed up with Rosalie Ray to drug Eleanor, causing her to lose her virginity and get pregnant. George Sterling wasn’t even angry when he found out.
Later, he even locked her up to force her to give birth to Estelle Sterling.
So, is Faye Sterling not evil?
She knew she shouldn’t expect anything from this father, but he still managed to pry open a crack in her hard shell.
George Sterling thought his words had worked, and he said, "That’s right, after all, we are family. Don’t argue too much with Faye, hurry up and withdraw this lawsuit."
He had an air of superiority, thinking Eleanor would certainly listen to him, after all, he was her father.
"Ha." Eleanor lowered her eyes with a faint smile, "What if I don’t withdraw?"
"Bastard, I order you to immediately withdraw the lawsuit against Faye!" George Sterling was furious.
Eleanor’s expression was indifferent as she said, "Father, you have such prestige, but aren’t you being a bit too hypocritical?
Faye Sterling can sue me, but when I sue her, it’s evil intentions?
She slanders me in front of others, pretending to be pitiful and weak, just to wash away all the things she’s done?
Faye Sterling and Rosalie Ray have repeatedly defamed me publicly, ruining my reputation. You are well aware of what happened back then.
So, are you planning to completely disregard your dignity just to step on me, who did nothing wrong, and stand up for Faye?"
"You..." George Sterling was left speechless.
He was indeed aware of the events back then, which were significant, yet how could Eleanor reveal them publicly in such a setting?
Guests around them started to discuss curiously upon hearing this.
"Earlier, Faye Sterling kept saying how Eleanor’s designs infringed patents and how innocent she was. Now it seems she does have a bit of that white lotus vibe."
"Exactly, she wanted to have Eleanor arrested, but when it’s her turn, she doesn’t want to be caught."
"But what Eleanor mentioned about back then, what was it actually about? Could it be about her being the mistress?"
"Could there be more to it than meets the eye?"
Faye Sterling’s eyes showed panic when she heard Eleanor bring up the past events.
She then recalled Eleanor had no idea that the child she gave birth to back then belonged to Alaric Faulkner.
Moreover, the other illegitimate child had long been dealt with.
Faye felt slightly relieved.
However, she couldn’t let Eleanor say any more, as the situation was very unfavorable for her.
Tear-streaked, Faye Sterling looked at Eleanor and said, "I intended to take Anne Adler as my mentor, but didn’t expect the entrance requirements to be so strict; it was my misunderstanding that caused today’s problem.
Having made a mistake, I’ll fully take responsibility, I won’t argue to escape, and I trust the court will judge fairly and justly." The rightful source is novel⁂fire.net
After speaking, she addressed the officers arresting her, "I’ll go back with you."
Seeing Faye willingly being taken away, Rosalie Ray was heartbroken, "Faye!"
"Mom, don’t worry, I’ll be okay," Faye said softly.
