"She’s my girlfriend." Without any hesitation, Alaric Faulkner spoke directly.
Of course, he also wanted Eleanor Sterling to become his wife, but that seemed unlikely to happen in the short term.
Giselle Keating’s expression visibly darkened, seemingly taken aback by Alaric’s response.
"Alaric, you... when did you get a girlfriend?"
"Recently." Alaric didn’t seem inclined to discuss it in detail with her.
Blanche Hayes was equally shocked, as the thing she had wanted to know all along had been answered.
Alaric Faulkner was actually with Eleanor Sterling?
Blanche bit her lip, her expression troubled.
Giselle knew that with so many people around, it wasn’t convenient to discuss these matters, so she didn’t press further, though the gaze she cast on Eleanor was filled with a certain coldness.
Eleanor knew that without revealing her identity, The Hayes Family would never trust her.
This young prodigy seemed more reliable than she appeared.
She said to Brandon Hayes, "Since the Hayes Family already has someone better to treat Mr. Hayes, then I won’t get involved."
After saying this, she turned and walked away.
Upon seeing this, Brandon panicked and hurriedly chased after her, "Wait, Miss Sterling, please wait!"
Alaric stepped forward, following Eleanor out.
Giselle watched Eleanor’s retreating figure, narrowing her eyes, Alaric’s girlfriend? Googlᴇ search novel·fire.net
All these years, there had never been a woman he acknowledged publicly, and this Eleanor Sterling was the first!
Even the woman who had framed him and drugged him was never acknowledged after having his child.
This woman was formidable, not only becoming Alaric Faulkner’s woman but even earning such respect from Brandon Hayes; truly impressive.
After a moment’s thought, Giselle followed them out.
Brandon caught up with Eleanor, somewhat anxious, "Miss Sterling, please don’t be upset, they just don’t know how capable you are."
Eleanor halted, her emotions calm as she said blandly, "I’m not upset, I just don’t want to cause trouble. Since that young lady can treat him, why not let her try?"
Brandon observed Eleanor, seeing she indeed wasn’t angry, seemed relieved.
If anything came up later, he could probably still reach out to Eleanor.
"You can go back, I’m leaving."
After saying this, Eleanor turned and left.
Before Eleanor could leave, Giselle had already caught up.
Because of Giselle’s previous behavior, Eleanor didn’t have a good impression of her.
She could tell that this woman might have something going on with Alaric!
She stepped back, giving Alaric a cold glance, saying blandly, "She’s looking for you."
Alaric raised an eyebrow, about to speak when Giselle had already approached.
Maintaining a high posture, she addressed Eleanor, "Miss Sterling, can we talk?"
Eleanor looked at Giselle, her smile mocking.
"I don’t think we have anything to talk about. Feel free to treat Mr. Hayes’s condition, I won’t interfere."
"It’s not about The Hayes Family, it’s something else, can we talk in private?"
Eleanor snorted coldly inside, wasn’t she just wanting to talk about Alaric? Fine, she’d entertain her.
She raised her hand, checked the time, and said, "I’ll give you five minutes."
After saying this, she walked to the side first.
Giselle, always basked in admiration, had never encountered anyone so dismissive of her, and this Eleanor Sterling displeased her.
But she held back and didn’t lash out.
She walked over and stopped opposite Eleanor.
Today, Eleanor was dressed in a suit, her features exquisite, looking very beautiful, even she felt amazed, let alone others.
So was Alaric also entranced by her appearance?
