Eleanor Sterling finally touched the silver needle and inserted it into Alaric Faulkner’s acupuncture point, causing him to faint.
She caught his body and gently placed him on the chair, then picked up her clothes.
By now, her phone had more than sixty missed calls, all from Hazel Langley.
After Eleanor Sterling got dressed, she picked up her phone to call Hazel Langley.
The call was answered within a few seconds.
"You devil, are you playing tricks on me? I’m here, but I couldn’t reach your phone."
Eleanor Sterling glanced at Alaric Faulkner, "No, I was just a bit tied up."
Hazel Langley laughed, "I see, I see. When can I become a godmother?
No, I should ask you, is the man who made you ignore my calls President Faulkner?"
"Don’t tease me." Eleanor Sterling rolled her eyes, "Alaric Faulkner was tricked by Faye Sterling, and there’s a bit of a problem now. I can’t leave, so help me out.
Keep an eye on Faye Sterling, don’t let her wake up, and don’t let her run away. I’ll take care of her later."
Hazel Langley didn’t pay much attention to other words, but she picked out a few key points.
She chuckled softly, with a suggestive smile, "Oh, so President Faulkner was drugged. Did anything pleasant or wonderful happen between you two?"
Eleanor Sterling gritted her teeth, "Hazel Langley!"
"Alright, alright, I won’t ask. Aren’t we good sisters anymore? You’re so stingy."
Hazel Langley muttered as she hung up the phone.
Eleanor Sterling put away her phone and checked Alaric Faulkner’s condition. He was now in a coma.
The effects of the drug were already relieved, so there shouldn’t be any major issues.
She left in a hurry earlier and didn’t bring her bag, so she didn’t have a silver needle at hand.
After a while, Alaric Faulkner opened his eyes.
He initially looked around in confusion, and then his consciousness gradually returned.
Seeing Eleanor Sterling sitting nearby, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
But the next second, Eleanor Sterling’s words made his heart sink to the bottom.
"Are you awake? It seems the drug Faye Sterling gave you is quite potent."
Alaric Faulkner’s pupils shrank slightly, he examined his body, and his handsome face immediately darkened.
Things before he lost consciousness gradually resurfaced in his mind. Eleanor Sterling’s phone had sent him a message, he rushed to rescue her, and then became unconscious.
No, it wasn’t entirely unconscious...
He seemed to dream about being with Eleanor Sterling, doing things he had been longing for.
That feeling was so wonderful that he didn’t want to wake up.
If it was as Eleanor Sterling said, that it was Faye Sterling who knocked him out, then he had encountered Faye Sterling?
The thought of this possibility made Alaric Faulkner’s face instantly pale, extremely unpleasant.
Alaric Faulkner was filled with guilt and anger, anxiously looking at Eleanor Sterling, afraid she might misunderstand.
He spoke hoarsely, "Eleanor, let me explain, I came here because of your phone message..."
Eleanor Sterling nodded, "Yes, I know, Faye Sterling bribed two people to kidnap me and used my phone to send it. Later, I knocked them out."
She coldly smiled, mocking, "Then I rushed over to save you, and just saw Faye Sterling riding on top of you, looking very bold." Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel⟡fire.net
Alaric Faulkner’s face instantly contorted, feeling waves of nausea.
Damn, he actually did it with Faye Sterling!
He took a deep breath, cautiously looking at Eleanor Sterling, "Eleanor, I’m sorry, will you forgive me?"
Eleanor Sterling glanced at him, feeling somewhat inexplicable.
Wasn’t he just under the effects of the drug? She didn’t blame him, so why apologize with such sincerity?
