Eleanor Sterling, after obtaining the blood sample, didn’t linger at all.
She immediately had someone take it to the laboratory to have Eleanor Sterling’s blood compared for a paternity test.
With Liam Keene not present in the lab, the staff there naturally followed Eleanor Sterling’s orders without hesitation and promptly began the testing procedures.
After completing all this, Eleanor Sterling let out a long breath, as if the waiting period for the results had become extremely restless.
Taking a deep breath, she decided to set this matter aside for now, as she needed to visit the Sterling Family to find Rosalie Ray. Check latest chapters at n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
She had already confirmed from Aunt Rosalie that her mother’s relics existed and were undoubtedly hidden by Rosalie Ray.
It seemed she needed to find a way to get them.
In Aethelgard, at the Faulkner Family’s old mansion study.
The lights were bright, and Alaric Faulkner was remotely handling official business. Dressed in dark loungewear, even sitting in his home study, he exuded the aura of a superior.
The phone vibrated, and a call from Jasper Faulkner came through.
Alaric Faulkner glanced at it and swiped to answer.
"Brother, how are things on your side?"
Alaric Faulkner chuckled slightly with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "The first and second families have brought their entire clans back to the Faulkner Family."
Jasper Faulkner snorted immediately, "With their useless appearances, what do they have to compare with you?
Even little Yiyi is way smarter than those few. Do they think coming back would win grandfather’s favor?"
Though Jasper Faulkner was mocking the others, he indirectly praised Alaric Faulkner.
He chuckled softly, his tone softened a bit, and asked, "Is there something going on with the company?"
Considering the late hour, Jasper Faulkner probably called him due to some unresolved issue at the company.
Jasper Faulkner cleared his throat and started boasting, "Brother, I ran into the Eldest Miss Sterling at the hospital today."
Upon hearing this, Alaric Faulkner’s eyes turned dark.
He knew about Eleanor Sterling’s return to Veridia City but hadn’t inquired about the specifics.
So she went to the hospital?
Recalling the past incident when Eleanor Sterling sent an elderly Sterling family member to the hospital for care, Alaric immediately realized that she must have gone to visit them.
Before Alaric Faulkner could speak, Jasper Faulkner continued muttering to himself.
"Then the Eldest Miss Sterling wanted to tour our blood bank, so I carefully showed her around."
After saying this, he quickly added, "Brother, you can rest assured, I kept a three-step distance from her the whole time, absolutely no close contact."
On hearing this, Alaric Faulkner squinted slightly.
Touring The Faulkner Group’s blood bank?
Could it be that Eleanor Sterling wasn’t at the hospital to visit someone?
Considering her previous interest in Jasper Faulkner, coupled with this incident with the blood bank, a vague suspicion began to arise in Alaric Faulkner’s mind.
"Did she do anything besides the tour?"
Jasper Faulkner hesitated for a moment and said, "Oh, she took a bag of blood, saying it was for an exam."
An exam? Eleanor Sterling needed it for an exam?
Alaric Faulkner looked a little puzzled, but quickly dismissed this explanation.
The Aethelgard College of Medicine specialized in modern medicine, and Eleanor Sterling often used silver needles, indicating her expertise in related traditional medicine. There was no way she’d be taking an exam at Aethelgard’s medical school.
So, this was probably an excuse.
Jasper Faulkner didn’t notice anything amiss and laughed, "Brother, I’m so considerate, you should grant me a few more days off."
After a few seconds of silence, Alaric Faulkner responded, "Hmm."
"Alright then, I won’t disturb your work anymore." Jasper Faulkner, satisfied, hung up the phone.
Alaric Faulkner’s long, well-defined fingers lightly tapped the desk, his eyes dark and stormy.
