Old Master Sterling’s face darkened.
He hadn’t expected things to blow up .
Now Eleanor Sterling’s intention was clear—she wanted Faye Sterling’s company at all costs.
He thought for a moment and said, "Faye, you should transfer the company to Eleanor tomorrow."
Faye Sterling immediately jumped up, "No way, why should I give it to her? That’s my company!"
Eleanor Sterling looked at Faye Sterling and spoke, "You don’t have to transfer it if you don’t want to."
"Really?" Faye Sterling thought Eleanor was being generous.
Unexpectedly, she heard her say, "You know what I want. It’s a trade, one thing for another."
Faye Sterling looked at Rosalie Ray, but she wouldn’t even meet her eyes.
She turned back to Eleanor Sterling, her tone softening, "Sister, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have bet with you.
I’ll give you this year’s revenue from the company; just don’t take it away from me."
Always so arrogant, Faye Sterling was actually admitting her mistake, just to keep her company.
Eleanor Sterling sneered.
Wasn’t it Faye Sterling who used to say that this company was just for fun?
Now that she has to hand it over, she’s reluctant?
Eleanor Sterling chuckled, "Everyone in Veridia City is watching. Go ask if a winner would let it go so easily."
She was forcing Faye Sterling into a corner, forcing her to seek Rosalie Ray, hoping she would relent for her daughter’s sake.
"If it weren’t for Selena Lockwood’s betrayal, I wouldn’t have lost!" Faye’s face was resentful.
That damned Selena Lockwood had caused such a huge problem and had the nerve to run away.
If she caught her, she’d make her pay!
Eleanor Sterling smiled, "Even without Selena Lockwood, you’d lose."
"What are you so proud of? You’re just relying on Alaric Faulkner. Otherwise, how could those suppliers play those tricks?"
Eleanor Sterling didn’t deny she had Alaric Faulkner’s backing, she said, "That’s my skill too."
Faye Sterling was so angry she could burst a vein.
She was furious, she wished she could kill Eleanor Sterling.
It was she who took everything away from her!
Chelsea Sterling had been watching for a while, noticing Faye Sterling no longer had her usual arrogance.
She sneered, "Faye, since you lost, just accept it. It’s just a company, nothing major."
Faye Sterling glared venomously at Chelsea Sterling.
Seeing this, Chelsea covered her mouth and laughed.
Faye saw Old Master Sterling’s face was dark, showing no intention of helping her, so she turned to Rosalie Ray.
"Mom, help me, give her whatever she wants. I’ve put so much effort into this company, I don’t want to lose it."
Rosalie Ray gritted her teeth, "Faye, be obedient, accept your loss and give the company to Eleanor Sterling. If you want, we’ll start a new one."
Eleanor Sterling’s expression turned cold as she stared at Rosalie Ray without saying a word.
Faye Sterling finally gave up, looking pale, and slumped to the ground.
In the end, Rosalie Ray helped Faye Sterling leave.
Faye Sterling had once arrogantly boasted about wanting Eleanor Sterling’s company, but now she had lost hers and had her secret identity revealed.
Eleanor Sterling’s comeback was executed beautifully.
But she couldn’t feel happy because her true goal wasn’t achieved.
Old Master Sterling couldn’t say much; he just sighed as he looked at Eleanor Sterling and said, "Eleanor, I don’t want to meddle too much in your business.
But you should still be mindful of your identity in the future.
After all, Faye has given Alaric Faulkner a son, and getting closer to him will only make you despised."
"Understood," Eleanor responded coldly.
Faye Sterling was sobbing, feeling miserable, like she had nothing left.
Rosalie Ray comforted her beside her, "Faye, it’s okay, if the company is gone, we can start another."
Faye Sterling looked up with tear-filled eyes at Rosalie Ray, discontented, "Mom, what exactly did that dead mother’s leave behind? Why won’t you bring it out?"
Rosalie Ray’s face sank, "Don’t talk nonsense, I’ve told you there’s no such thing!"
Faye hesitated, "Really? Mom, you’re not lying to me?"
Rosalie Ray’s eyes flickered slightly, "You’re my daughter, how could I lie to you."
Hearing this, Faye Sterling let go of her dissatisfaction.
Finally, with Rosalie Ray’s persuasion, Faye Sterling’s emotions gradually stabilized.
After returning to the Faulkner Family, she saw Mrs. Faulkner sitting in the living room, looking grim.
As soon as Faye Sterling spoke, Mrs. Faulkner’s sharp gaze swept over.
"So you’re an impostor, pretending to be part of the Sterling Family to attach to our Faulkner Family?"
She was shocked and quickly explained, "No...I...I’m a Sterling child, that identification was fake, I was framed."
"Framed? If it wasn’t true, how could anyone frame you?"
Mrs. Faulkner slammed the table in anger, venting all the rage caused by Alaric Faulkner and Eleanor Sterling on Faye Sterling.
Though the Sterling Family had issued a statement, the impact of the incident hadn’t dissipated, which was why Mrs. Faulkner was dissatisfied.
She was afraid the matter would reach the Faulkner’s main family in Aethelgard, causing more negative consequences for Alaric Faulkner.
Faye Sterling choked, crying, "It’s...it’s Eleanor Sterling jealous of me for having given birth to Little Caleb with Alaric, I’m innocent, mother-in-law, believe me."
Mrs. Faulkner thought of Alaric Faulkner leaving with Caleb for Eleanor Sterling, and believed Faye’s words.
Eleanor Sterling could have confused Alaric Faulkner, so it was possible she might have framed Faye Sterling.
Mrs. Faulkner thought the Sterling sisters were so shameless, really thinking they could get into the Faulkner family, even if they had to go to great lengths.
After all, she was Caleb’s mother; if they resolved her, it would only push Alaric Faulkner and Caleb further away.
As Mrs. Faulkner thought, her anger subsided.
"Fine, stop being an eyesore in front of me. Handle this matter well, I don’t want to hear any more gossip outside."
Seeing Mrs. Faulkner no longer pursued it, Faye Sterling smiled, "I understand." Official source is NoveIＦire.net
As she was about to go upstairs, Mrs. Faulkner spoke again, "Make sure you get Alaric and Little Caleb back."
Faye Sterling looked surprised, asking, "Where did they go?"
Mrs. Faulkner snorted coldly, "They fought with me and haven’t wanted to come back, who knows where they are, most likely with that woman."
Her proud nature wouldn’t allow her to lower her head, so she wanted Faye Sterling to act.
Upon hearing this, Faye Sterling’s face instantly sank.
Alaric Faulkner quarreled with Mrs. Faulkner then went to Eleanor Sterling?
Thinking of the two living together, her face drained of all color, twisting horrificly.
It’s Eleanor Sterling again! She dared to fight for Alaric Faulkner!
She had to find a way to make sure she disappeared completely.
