Faye Sterling was able to find out he left the company, and if she put in a little more effort, she could probably find out about Caleb Faulkner being kidnapped.
But her attention is only on herself; whether Caleb Faulkner lives or dies is irrelevant to her. This proves how unimportant Caleb Faulkner is in her eyes.
Caleb Faulkner is merely a tool for her to marry into the Faulkner Family.
This isn’t the first time Faye Sterling has ignored Caleb Faulkner; incidents like persistent high fevers, wrong medications, falling into a pond, and a series of other events were frequent.
Seven years was enough to see through the true face of this woman.
If she weren’t Caleb Faulkner’s biological mother, he would have kicked her out long ago. Updates are released by novel⦿fire.net
Hearing Alaric Faulkner’s words and seeing his displeased expression, Faye Sterling finally reacted.
The bastard had actually gotten into trouble?
She immediately put on a worried face and asked, "What! Caleb is missing! Does he have any problems? Have you sent someone to find him?"
Alaric Faulkner glanced at her indifferently and said, "He is very safe."
"Then... where is he now?"
"He will be staying at someone else’s house for the next few days." Alaric Faulkner clearly didn’t want to say more, left a sentence, and then stepped out, intending to leave.
In his heart, he actually found it better for Caleb Faulkner to stay with Eleanor Sterling rather than Faye Sterling.
Faye Sterling stepped forward to block Alaric Faulkner, his face was dark, and his eyes showed some impatience.
"Alaric, the day after tomorrow is Grandpa’s birthday; can you... can you come back to The Sterling Family with me to attend?"
She looked at Alaric Faulkner in trepidation, hoping he would nod and agree.
Even though she used the child to stay by Alaric Faulkner’s side, even though everyone in Veridia City knew she was Mrs. Faulkner.
In the past seven years, Alaric Faulkner has never mentioned wanting to marry her.
She knows many people secretly laugh at her, yet Alaric Faulkner isn’t someone who is easily manipulated.
This time at Old Master Sterling’s birthday banquet, if Alaric Faulkner could accompany her back, her status as Mrs. Faulkner would be more secure, making everyone envious.
The bastard Eleanor Sterling gave birth to is just a stepping stone.
She initially planned to get rid of it after successfully getting pregnant herself, but Alaric Faulkner wouldn’t even touch her.
She could only endure keeping that bastard.
Seven years is long enough to endure.
There was a hint of darkness in Faye Sterling’s eyes, and this time at Old Master Sterling’s birthday banquet, she wants to become the true Mrs. Faulkner!
Alaric Faulkner did not refuse, "We’ll see."
After throwing down those three words, he directly went upstairs.
At The Sterling Family villa, today is Old Master Sterling’s birthday banquet.
In the garden, servants carried fine food and drinks back and forth; amidst the exchange of glasses, all the guests were flattering Old Master Sterling.
After all, The Sterling Family has been relying on the Faulkner Family for these years to climb into Veridia City’s top aristocracy, and many want to curry favor.
In honor of the Faulkner Family, the guests attending tonight one by one had influential backgrounds, and some were even subtly hoping Alaric Faulkner would come so they could cling onto the Faulkner Family.
Faye Sterling and Rosalie Ray had long been greeting guests at The Sterling Family, surrounded by a group of wealthy ladies and daughters who were flattering them.
"Rosalie, your daughter is truly talented, giving birth to the first son and heir for the Faulkner Family. I wonder when she will have another, so you can have double happiness?"
"Oh, envy won’t get us anywhere; Faye is not only beautiful but also runs her own company, unlike my two daughters who haven’t shown any promise!"
"Exactly, she has already become Mrs. Faulkner, yet still works so hard. I heard the jewelry company Faye owns releases new products every season that become astonishingly popular, with everyone wanting to buy them."
