Elijah Hayes cautiously looked at Alaric Faulkner, "President Faulkner, do you need me to check if Miss Sterling really lives here?" Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novelꞁire.net
Alaric Faulkner took a deep breath, forcing a cold smile, "No need."
It seems this woman really wants to get rid of him.
Once she’s caught his eye, Eleanor Sterling shouldn’t even think about escaping!
The next day, at Thea’s Jewelry office.
Faye Sterling asked Selena Lockwood, "How are things on Eleanor Sterling’s side? Those suppliers haven’t been two-faced, have they?"
Selena Lockwood immediately replied, "Of course not, you’re the future Mrs. Faulkner, they’re too scared to do such a thing.
They assured me well at that time, no matter what terms Eleanor Sterling offers, they won’t continue working with her!"
Hearing Selena Lockwood’s words, Faye Sterling finally relaxed.
Eleanor Sterling wants to compete with her? Dream on!
Eventually, she’ll have to obediently hand over the company and get out of Veridia City!
Faye Sterling triumphantly dialed Eleanor Sterling’s number.
At that moment, Eleanor Sterling was nestled in her new home, not at all feeling pressed.
Upon receiving Faye Sterling’s call, she curled a mocking smile and swiped to answer.
With a schadenfreude tone, Faye Sterling said, "Eleanor Sterling, are you scared now? Are you desperately seeking connections?"
Eleanor Sterling, with a lazy demeanor, carelessly asked, "And then?"
Faye Sterling reluctantly said, "And then? If you regret it now, you can transfer the company to me in advance, otherwise, you’ll gain nothing in the end."
"What benefit is there for me to transfer it to you in advance?"
Faye Sterling scoffed, "If you give it to me now, I can transfer ten thousand dollars to you. Ten thousand is quite generous."
She spoke in a condescending manner, behaving as if Eleanor Sterling’s company was already in her pocket, and the money was merely charity.
Eleanor Sterling curled her lips, sarcastically said, "How about I transfer you ten thousand, and you hand over Thea’s Jewelry to me?"
Faye Sterling on the other end exploded, angrily shouting, "Eleanor Sterling! You want to buy my Thea’s Jewelry with such a small amount?"
Eleanor Sterling shifted her position, chuckled lightly, "I’m just returning your words to you."
"Hmph! Since you’re so unaware of your own good, then just wait. When you lose and your company goes bankrupt, I’ll swoop in and take your company!
Let me tell you, jewelry design is just my hobby, the company is something I’m casually playing with.
My real goal is in the field of medicine. I plan to apply for Aethelgard College of Medicine, did you really think I care about your shabby company?"
Eleanor Sterling had already placed her phone aside, minding her own business.
Realizing the lack of response, Faye Sterling called out several times.
Eleanor Sterling wasn’t listening to her anymore, which infuriated Faye. She angrily hung up the phone.
Just then, Eleanor Sterling’s phone rang again. As she picked it up, she saw it was from a familiar number.
Faye Sterling didn’t know when the call was disconnected.
Swiping to answer, Eleanor Sterling asked, "What’s up?"
"Sally, who were you on the phone with for so long? I couldn’t get through to you."
Eleanor Sterling replied, "Faye Sterling, she mocked and sneered at me for half an hour."
"She really has too much free time." The person on the other end paused for a moment, then got to the point, "The surgery for the Hayes Family in Aethelgard has been delayed for a long time, when do you plan to go over?"
Eleanor Sterling’s eyes darkened, "No time recently, delay it a bit more."
The person sighed heavily, "Alas, being too talented is a mistake. You had to apprentice under two archrivals, always needing to hide and disguise, it’s tough."
Hearing this, Eleanor Sterling rubbed her forehead, helplessly said, "Regretting is useless now."
It was by chance that things turned out this way; she just wanted to self-study more to protect herself.
Her prowess in traditional Chinese medicine was exceptional, inheriting acupuncture skills from Ghost Doctor Elder Sawyer.
But no one knew her proficiency in modern medicine was even greater, as the student of Brian Zane, the top internal medicine expert.
Unfortunately, her two mentors were bitter enemies, leaving Eleanor Sterling no choice but to keep these dual identities a secret.
