Alaric Faulkner pushed open the villa door.
Eleanor Sterling was sitting on the sofa, leisurely eating dessert. She looked up at Alaric and asked, "How did things go?"
Alaric walked over and sat down beside Eleanor, wrapping his arm around her waist.
"Giselle Keating is temporarily detained, and the matter has already been spread around. Google seaʀᴄh novel·fire·net
Many people waiting for that potion have gone to the detention place to protest, collectively demanding severe punishment for Giselle Keating."
Eleanor raised an eyebrow, "Well, Giselle Keating’s quite miserable."
But she brought this all upon herself.
If she hadn’t gotten her mind involved in this place, how could she have ended up ?
Alaric looked at Eleanor’s exquisite face, noticing a bit of white cream on the corner of her mouth.
He leaned over, kissed her, and wiped it clean for her.
Eleanor pushed him away and asked, "Stop messing around, is there something you came here for?"
Upon releasing Eleanor, Alaric slowly smiled and said, "Ronan Keating requested to see you. Do you want to meet him?"
At the mention of Ronan Keating, a cold glint flashed in Eleanor’s eyes, and she sneered, "Of course, I’ll meet him."
Letting Giselle Keating go is not impossible. After all, the matter has already been exposed, and her reputation is ruined.
The Keating Family won’t stand idly by; when the time comes, they’ll make a move, and Giselle Keating will probably get out.
It’s better to use this incident to help Yvette Ray and make a deal with Ronan Keating.
Alaric knew the grudge between Eleanor and Ronan Keating. This time, Eleanor would most likely stand up for her dear friend.
He said in a low voice, "The Keating Family won’t let Giselle stay in jail. Now it’s probably just making her take a walk."
So what if they have power and influence? The Keating Family is utterly detestable.
Feigning a frightened look, she asked, "If the Keatings come after me, will you help me? Actually, Giselle and you make a good pair—a Keating heiress and a Faulkner..."
Before Eleanor could finish her sentence, her mouth was covered by someone holding her waist.
Seeing the smiling eyes of Eleanor, Alaric realized she was teasing him.
This woman who is both lovable and exasperating.
He whispered in her ear, "Rest assured, even if the Keating Family were as powerful as the emperor, I wouldn’t be swayed in the least. I’m already married; I’m Mrs. Faulkner’s man."
Eleanor couldn’t help but smile.
Alaric’s sweet words truly came effortlessly, making her heart flutter with joy.
Her heart was filled with delight, feeling she loved Alaric just a bit more today.
"Giselle made a move against me, but it was for you, and you weren’t moved in the slightest; you really are heartless."
Alaric shook his head helplessly, "Am I not being obvious enough, making you doubt my sincerity?"
He moved closer to Eleanor, pressing her onto the sofa, "It seems I need to prove it again, to let you feel my true heart."
Seeing things were getting out of control, Eleanor immediately pushed him away.
"Before the Keating Family makes a move, I plan to make a deal with Ronan Keating to keep him away from Yvette Ray.
I heard Yvette is currently dating Ethan Finch, and it’s good that she can start a new relationship. Last time I saw little Ran getting very close to Ethan as well.
Yvette has suffered enough; she doesn’t need anyone else ruining her future happiness. Let me guard it for her."
Alaric nodded and said, "Ethan Finch is a decent person. Although he has a history of marriage, he is kind and worthy of entrusting one’s life to."
Hearing Alaric praise Ethan Finch this way, Eleanor snorted, "He’s your guy, that’s why you’re praising him, right? As for exactly how he is, I still have to observe."
Alaric’s lips curled up as he softly said, "Then take your time to observe."
"Alright." Eleanor stood up and said, "Get Ronan Keating out here. I’m going to meet him."
