Faye Sterling waited until she left before approaching Rosalie Ray, her face full of excitement.
"Mom, Eleanor Sterling really believed it! And I got Thea’s Jewelry back too."
Rosalie Ray’s smile cooled down.
"She’s holding that fake and won’t be able to stir any trouble. Remember, you must protect the necklace around your neck; it’s your key to Aethelgard."
Faye Sterling heard this and took out the Jade Pendant, asking, "Mom, is this Jade Pendant really that important?"
At this, Rosalie Ray’s eyes flickered.
"Of course, Eleanor Sterling’s mother was from the Jennings Family in Aethelgard; would she leave behind something ordinary?"
Faye Sterling nodded repeatedly, "I understand."
"You need to set off for Aethelgard as soon as possible."
Faye Sterling clasped Rosalie Ray’s arm, "Okay, I will definitely make my mark."
Just after walking out of The Sterling Family’s doorstep and getting into her car, Eleanor Sterling received the results from the laboratory.
She sat in the driver’s seat holding her phone, stunned for a moment, and only after preparing herself mentally did she open the report.
The results were more detailed than others’, proving the lab had done a thorough job. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel-fire.ɴet
Eleanor Sterling glanced casually at the official statement and flipped directly to the final results section.
The next second, her fingers tightened, and her pupils contracted sharply.
Eleanor Sterling felt as though all the blood in her body had stopped, her mind buzzing, unable to think.
The final result of the test said...
Two samples match the biological relationship.
Estelle Sterling is indeed Jasper Faulkner’s son!
Seven years ago, the man she was with was Jasper Faulkner, and she had a son with Jasper Faulkner!
Eleanor Sterling’s body swayed slightly, her expression bitter, her whole body feeling stiff.
She had considered this possibility before.
But now, faced with it, she found it hard to accept.
This meant that from now on, she must keep her distance from Alaric Faulkner, no matter how shameless he was.
This kind of double-taboo relationship cannot be touched, nor can it be broken.
Eleanor Sterling felt like her chest was stuffed with cotton, making it difficult to breathe.
After a full ten minutes, Eleanor Sterling was able to calm down.
She started the car and sped off.
Meanwhile, at the Faulkner Family in Aethelgard.
Alaric Faulkner had Elijah Hayes monitor Eleanor Sterling’s situation, and when the report came out, he got the results first.
His face looked as if he’d just returned from hell, gloomy and icy to the extreme.
The air pressure around was extremely low, and Elijah Hayes, over the phone, could feel the chill from Alaric Faulkner’s silence.
Elijah Hayes asked tremulously, "President Faulkner... is there anything that needs to be done?"
"No." Alaric Faulkner almost spat out the word through clenched teeth.
He directly hung up the phone.
He took a deep breath but still couldn’t relieve the extreme sense of oppression.
Jasper Faulkner had been searching for seven years; the woman he couldn’t forget was Eleanor Sterling.
Perhaps their feelings aren’t that deep, perhaps they might marry because of the child...
Thinking that Eleanor Sterling would become his direct sister-in-law, a storm brewed in Alaric Faulkner’s eyes.
A violent impulse simmered beneath, urging him to seize without care.
Why did he have to hear such news after he had feelings for Eleanor Sterling?
She’s already seeped into his very being; how could she be removed so easily?
But there’s no chance anymore for them to be together, absolutely none.
Unless she could ignore all the rumors and accompany him in madness.
Was it to give Eleanor Sterling freedom or pull her along, disregarding all gossip and break the taboo?
Two choices lay before him.
Alaric Faulkner’s eyes grew increasingly dark...
