Seeing a change in Aaron Underwood’s expression, Faye Sterling pressed on, "If I marry Alaric Faulkner in the future, helping you with the Faulkner Family’s influence would be a simple matter."
Of course, she had no intention of actually helping Aaron. For now, she just wanted to keep him steady, making him work for her.
Faye Sterling still needed to use him against Eleanor Sterling. How could she give up such a valuable pawn?
She was so close to becoming Mrs. Faulkner, just one step away, and she wouldn’t let anyone ruin that.
Aaron Underwood became agitated upon hearing these words.
The Underwood Family was just a second-rate small family in Aethelgard, incomparable to the status of the Faulkner Family. Recently, they had lost a lot of market share and money.
If he could have the Faulkner Family’s help, wouldn’t he elevate himself to an even higher level? Aaron had no objections after that.
Aaron grasped her chin and whispered, "Alright, I won’t publicize our relationship. We’re in the same boat now, don’t forget about me."
Faye Sterling expertly concealed the disdain in her eyes, but she softly replied, "Of course."
Aaron’s hand roamed over Faye Sterling’s body, his voice hoarse, "When will you accompany me out again?"
He wanted to record a video of Faye Sterling as leverage, in case she really married into the Faulkner Family and then kicked him aside.
Aaron wasn’t a child who could be fooled by a few sweet words from Faye Sterling. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel-fire.net
Faye Sterling bit her lip, groaning softly, "No... no way. Let me settle things with Alaric Faulkner first. We can’t get too close lately, otherwise, if he finds out, we’ll both be in deep trouble."
Aaron said in a deep voice, "Fine, just don’t deceive me."
For now, he chose to trust Faye Sterling.
Faye Sterling spoke, "What about what you mentioned last time? What’s the situation with the Hayes Family?
Eleanor Sterling is my rival now. I need her downfall to rise better."
Even though Alaric Faulkner had sent roses and a ring to her, Faye Sterling still felt uneasy.
She feared Eleanor Sterling would pull some tricks, reigniting Alaric Faulkner’s feelings for her.
The best solution was, of course, to drive her out of the medical school and then out of Aethelgard completely.
Aaron Underwood coldly laughed, patting her cheek, "Just as you wanted, I’m here to tell you that the Hayes Family has agreed. They’ll be looking for Eleanor Sterling in a couple of days."
"Great, I can’t wait to see Eleanor Sterling’s miserable end this time."
Faye Sterling gave a cold, satisfied smile.
She felt like her luck was turning again; not only was Alaric Faulkner having a change of heart, but Eleanor Sterling was also about to fall into her trap.
Aaron touched Faye Sterling’s soft body, his desires piqued by her, and his actions became bolder.
He lifted her chin and leaned in to kiss her lips, face full of intoxication.
Faye Sterling was forced to respond, but her rational mind made her push him away.
"Let’s go out; it’s not good to stay here too long. If someone sees us, it won’t end well."
After saying this, Faye Sterling immediately turned and left.
Aaron Underwood looked unsatisfied.
Below the girls’ dormitory, a deep roaring sound broke out as a sleek sports car slowly pulled up, drawing the eyes of countless onlookers.
Everyone stopped to watch, eager to see who could own such a luxury car.
"What a beautiful sports car! I wonder which wealthy person it belongs to. Could it be a student from our college?"
"I feel like it might be the boyfriend of some stunning girl."
Amid the murmurs of the crowd, the car door opened, and a long leg wrapped in suit trousers stepped out...
