Eleanor Sterling’s face turned pale. The person who had just protected her and Estelle Sterling was actually Alaric Faulkner!
How could he be here?
"I’m sorry I was late."
Alaric Faulkner’s deep voice echoed next to Eleanor’s ear, leaving her so shocked that she was speechless.
Alaric looked at the frightened Estelle Sterling, slowly curved his lips, his voice exuding a sense of security, "Estelle, don’t be afraid, I’m here."
Estelle could only nod passively.
Alaric groaned softly, then stood up, with a dagger still embedded in his back.
Elijah Hayes and the others arrived a moment later, and upon seeing Alaric injured, their expressions changed dramatically, and they rushed forward immediately.
"President Faulkner, are you okay?"
Alaric pushed Eleanor and Estelle behind him, instructing, "Watch over them."
He coldly eyed Harold Jacobs, saying, "Harold Jacobs, you are quite something."
Seeing Alaric Faulkner appear out of nowhere, Harold Jacobs was practically scared witless.
His large, corpulent figure trembled as if he were a mouse meeting a cat.
"President...President Faulkner, how are you here?"
Protected by Elijah and others, Estelle noticed the dagger in Alaric’s back, with blood continuing to flow from the wound.
She finally snapped back to reality, her eyes reddening, then the little one hugged Eleanor’s leg, her voice choked with sobs.
"Mommy, save him, Uncle Faulkner is injured and bleeding. Only you can save him now. He also has a rare blood type. If he loses too much blood, he might die. Wuu wuu..."
Usually calm and clever, Estelle Sterling now seemed like a typical child, afraid of loss, pleading incessantly.
Eleanor lightly bit her lip, looking at Alaric Faulkner standing before her, feeling deeply shocked.
It was Alaric who had just protected her and Estelle.
He must have reacted immediately, rushing over without hesitation, using his own body to shield her.
Ian Jacobs did not know Alaric Faulkner’s identity, seeing Harold Jacobs so afraid, was somewhat confused.
But now that Alaric Faulkner appeared, did that mean he was Estelle Sterling’s father?
Ian snorted coldly, saying, "Are you Estelle Sterling’s father?"
Alaric Faulkner: "Yes."
Harold Jacobs’s eyes widened in shock, unable to believe what he was seeing.
What? He was actually that kid’s father?
How could this be? Impossible!
Ian, undaunted, said, "Your son bullied me and refuses to apologize!"
Alaric Faulkner: "Apologize?"
Harold hurriedly waved his hand, fearfully saying, "No, no, no, no need to apologize, we don’t want an apology." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novᴇlfire.net
Ian snorted, "That’s right, my dad said you have to kneel and apologize."
Alaric Faulkner sneered coldly, his expression extremely dangerous, as the surrounding air cooled with his changing emotions.
Harold tugged Ian, "Stop talking!"
Ian, usually spoiled, was unlikely to obediently follow instructions, merely wishing to demonstrate his superiority.
Not only did he not stop, he began to threaten, "My dad is very powerful, he says even Faulkner Family is of no concern to him, and even if Alaric Faulkner comes, he should kneel and apologize!"
Harold’s eyes widened in horror, was he crazy? Making Alaric Faulkner kneel!
He really wanted to slap himself hard; how could he have uttered such treacherous words earlier?
Ian still attempted to speak, but Harold was so frightened that he rushed forward, covering Ian’s mouth with his hand.
Alaric Faulkner looked at Harold, saying faintly, "Quite impressive, to have Alaric Faulkner kneel before you and apologize."
Aside from the deceased ancestors of Faulkner Family, there were no others in this world before whom Alaric Faulkner would kneel.
Harold trembled like a sieve, close to tears, "C-children’s nonsensical words, President Faulkner, please don’t mind them."
He never could have imagined that Estelle would be Alaric Faulkner’s illegitimate child, wasn’t Veridia City abuzz with rumors that he was President Warren’s child?
If he had known Estelle was Alaric Faulkner’s illegitimate son, not even ten lives would have compelled him to kidnap him!
