Liam Keene worked quickly.
He immediately found a five-star hotel, made a reservation for Eleanor Sterling and sent her the address directly.
Eleanor Sterling took a cab to the hotel and was handling the check-in procedures at the front desk.
While Eleanor was waiting, formally dressed people kept walking in and heading to the other side.
Music and noise came from that direction, seeming very lively.
Curious, Eleanor asked the receptionist, "Hello, could you tell me if there’s an event at the hotel today? Why are so many people going over there?"
The receptionist politely replied, "Today there’s a press conference in our multifunctional hall, so many people are coming, including quite a few celebrities."
Upon hearing this, Eleanor nodded, understandingly. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel✦fire.net
At that moment, a woman dressed in a custom-made dress, elegantly walked in on high heels.
She slightly raised her chin with a haughty demeanor, completely oblivious to others.
When she saw Eleanor, her eyes widened in disbelief.
"You fraud! What are you doing here?"
Recognizing the familiar voice, Eleanor first frowned and then rolled her eyes, speechless upon realizing who it was.
Is this a narrow path for enemies?
She had encountered Blanche Hayes again.
Blanche looked Eleanor up and down, then her gaze fell on the suitcase behind her, showing a trace of schadenfreude on her face.
She sneered, eager to speak.
"Ha, kicked out, I see? Relying on a man can’t last forever.
I said why you approached the Hayes Family, must be desperate, too bad your plan failed."
Blanche was now venting the anger she felt from being stopped at the community gate the other day.
Eleanor didn’t spare her a glance, quietly waiting for the front desk to finish the procedures so she could take her room card and leave.
Seeing Eleanor silent, Blanche felt even more emboldened, wanting everyone around to know Eleanor’s true nature.
"A woman like you just relies on your looks to deceive men, without a man’s help, you’re nothing."
Eleanor’s brow furrowed in displeasure.
Blanche had taunted her a second time.
Turning her head, she asked the front desk staff, "Do you allow dogs in the hotel? With an event today, it’s not good if someone gets bitten."
Blanche froze for a moment, then regained her composure.
Her expression changed instantly.
This implied insult from Eleanor was clearly targeting her.
"You! You actually dared to call me a dog?!"
Eleanor leisurely looked at Blanche, coldly laughing, "Miss, I didn’t specify anyone. You don’t have to jump out and admit it yourself, do you?"
"You..." Blanche stomped in anger.
She snorted coldly, deciding not to bother with Eleanor, arguing would be beneath her status.
Blanche arrogantly walked away, head held high.
After she left, the staff relaxed, seemingly a bit intimidated by her.
Eleanor noticed this and casually asked, "Do you know her?"
The staff repeatedly replied, "Of course! She’s Blanche Hayes from the Hayes Family, very hot-tempered."
The receptionist seemed skeptical about the things Blanche had just said to Eleanor.
Such a pretty fairy, how could she do such things; Eleanor not only had a gentle personality but also looked good.
At first glance, the receptionist was captivated by her beauty, believing that looks are the best attribute, and therefore felt close to Eleanor.
Thinking about Blanche’s two provocations, Eleanor nodded in agreement.
Indeed, like a leashed dog that only barks.
