Eleanor Sterling returned to her original spot, only to find that Alaric Faulkner and the two children were gone.
She looked puzzled and just as she was about to turn her head to find someone, she saw Faye Sterling hiding in the back, looking sneaky.
Eleanor Sterling curled her lips and thought that Faye Sterling suspected the black card affair and wanted to follow her to see who her man really was.
Thinking of the photo Faye Sterling sent Alaric Faulkner, Eleanor found it amusing.
It seems confusing her a bit is not a bad idea.
Eleanor Sterling glanced around the venue and finally fixed her gaze on a man walking out.
Silas Hawthorne, Stella Hawthorne’s brother.
She slowly walked forward, grabbed his arm, and whispered, "Mr. Hawthorne, sorry, could you help me play a role?"
A sudden sweet fragrance arrived, and a soft arm wrapped around his wrist, making Silas Hawthorne’s eyes sink heavily.
He didn’t push Eleanor Sterling away. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Behind them, Faye Sterling saw the man Eleanor Sterling was holding onto and squinted her eyes.
At that moment, someone shouted, "Mr. Hawthorne, please wait."
Silas Hawthorne halted his steps, and a middle-aged man walked up from behind, "Mr. Hawthorne, I have something to discuss with you."
Eleanor Sterling saw Faye Sterling staring at her, knowing she had seen them.
So, she released Silas Hawthorne, smiling faintly, "Since Mr. Hawthorne has serious matters to attend to, I won’t interrupt."
With that, she turned directly and left without a trace of reluctance.
Silas Hawthorne watched her back and suddenly felt a sense of unwillingness.
What a strange thought; clearly, she’s a woman with a face full of freckles that’s hard to look at, yet he felt she was very special.
Did Eleanor Sterling just say, play a role?
He glanced slightly backward and saw Faye Sterling grinding her teeth, suddenly understanding.
Earlier, Stella Hawthorne glanced at Eleanor Sterling’s spot and excitedly told Silas Hawthorne that was Eleanor Sterling and her boyfriend.
This woman is coveting Eleanor Sterling’s boyfriend, and she approached him to act, to protect her boyfriend?
For some reason, a hint of sourness pervaded in Silas Hawthorne’s heart.
In front of the large floor-to-ceiling glass window on the second floor, Alaric Faulkner stared below with a gloomy face.
Jasper Faulkner grinned, "Brother, the one Eleanor Sterling was holding is the most potential future head of The Hawthorne Family.
Currently, The Hawthorne Family is in the spotlight, so Grandpa is eager to have you in position to compete with him, or else we might not keep the title of Aethelgard’s top family.
But I remember you guys having a good relationship, why did he embrace Eldest Miss Sterling? Are they very familiar?"
The words ’embrace’ were extremely jarring.
Alaric Faulkner pressed his lips, not speaking.
He just left for a while, and that damned woman Eleanor Sterling openly linked arm with another man.
Jasper Faulkner saw Alaric Faulkner’s face turning darker and gloated, "Should we go down and catch them in the act?"
After saying that, Alaric Faulkner suddenly turned his head, his cold gaze fixed on Jasper Faulkner.
The smile on his lips gradually faded, and feeling a bit guilty, he coughed lightly.
"Why... why are you looking at me? It’s not me who tried to seduce Eleanor Sterling."
Unknowingly which word triggered him, Alaric Faulkner’s face instantly turned dark, making him appear even more terrifying.
Jasper Faulkner felt immense pressure, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going first."
He decided to slip away as a priority.
On the sofa in the back, Estelle Sterling was chatting with Caleb Faulkner and Hazel Langley.
Caleb Faulkner followed Estelle Sterling together, calling Hazel Langley ’godmother’. Hazel Langley didn’t oppose having another godson.
She looked gentle and talked softly with the two about recent matters.
After Jasper Faulkner arrived, he saw the smile on Hazel Langley’s face, and his gaze darkened for a moment.
He stepped forward, saying, "Leaving now."
Hazel Langley rose to say goodbye, asking Estelle Sterling to send her regards to Eleanor Sterling.
