Alaric Faulkner roughly understood Franklin Faulkner’s intentions; he wasn’t interested in the vast wealth of the Faulkner Family.
He did all this just to vent the dissatisfaction deep in his heart and make everyone in the Faulkner Family suffer.
Now he has succeeded.
The poison in his blood forced him to comply with his demands, as he held the only antidote.
And by making him marry Giselle Keating, Franklin Faulkner wanted to disgust him, after all, Giselle had previously been fiercely humiliated by him.
Hearing Alaric Faulkner quiet down, Franklin Faulkner said, "What? Unwilling? Didn’t you just say you were willing to do anything? Now you’re unwilling? A man’s word is indeed unreliable."
"I can marry her, but I hope you keep your word."
Franklin Faulkner laughed, "Alright, then first annul your marriage with Eleanor Sterling to show me your sincerity."
"She and I got our certificate abroad using passports, so it doesn’t have legal standing here."
Franklin seemed not to have expected this. He was silent for a moment before letting out a quiet laugh, "Announce the marriage news, then, when I see that everyone knows this great news, I’ll give you a third of the antidote."
He knew he couldn’t give it all to Alaric Faulkner at once, otherwise, he might lose his leverage over him.
Alaric Faulkner gritted his teeth, his face ashen, "As you wish."
Keating Family Estate, inside the bedroom.
Giselle Keating received a call from Franklin Faulkner, he told her he would help fulfill her wish, Eleanor Sterling was poisoned, and he had the only antidote.
And his demand was for Alaric Faulkner to marry her, while Eleanor Sterling would be abandoned.
Hearing that Eleanor was pregnant, a pregnant woman being abandoned would have a very miserable outcome. This text is hosted at NovєlFіre.net
Though Giselle didn’t want Eleanor to give birth to Alaric Faulkner’s child, she couldn’t find Eleanor at the moment, so she had to put up with it.
Once they were married, she would deal with Eleanor properly; by then, she would be the legitimate wife.
Just then, a servant knocked on the door, "Miss, you instructed that any deliveries be brought here; there’s a package for you."
Giselle opened the door, took the box from the servant’s hands, "You can go now."
She closed the door and returned to her room, opening the box to reveal a small transparent bottle with half a dark pill inside.
The man said he would send the antidote, and she indeed received it.
Giselle Keating held the bottle and couldn’t help but throw her head back in laughter.
She never thought she would find light at the end of the tunnel and turn her life around!
This time she’d wash away all her grievances and trample Eleanor Sterling underfoot.
As she was reveling in her thoughts, Giselle received a call from Rosalie Ray; she impatiently swiped to answer, "What’s the matter?"
"Giselle, have you seen Faye? She’s gone missing, and I can’t reach her."
"No, how would I know where she is? I’m very busy, don’t bother me." Giselle impatiently hung up the phone.
She had previously relied on Rosalie Ray to deal with Eleanor Sterling, but now she no longer needed her.
As long as she married Alaric Faulkner, she would become Mrs. Faulkner and wouldn’t fear her identity being exposed.
However, she would also find a way to keep Eleanor Sterling’s identity hidden, so Eleanor would remain beneath her, allowing her to vent all her resentment.
At this moment, far away in Veridia City, Rosalie Ray’s face showed worry after the call was hung up.
Eleanor Sterling had suddenly disappeared before, and she didn’t know where she had gone, so she called Giselle for help, only to find Giselle didn’t want to deal with her.
Rosalie Ray felt worried and sad, thinking she must find Faye Sterling to confirm her safety.
