Adeline Sheffield was still polite, with an apologetic look on her face: "Eldest Miss Sterling, this issue has really blown up quite a bit. Although your design is truly outstanding, you know..."
Listening to Adeline Sheffield’s words, Eleanor Sterling’s expression was very calm.
"Mr. Sheffield, there’s no need to say more, I understand your point. Since you’ve already decided, then let’s leave it at that."
Adeline Sheffield looked at Eleanor Sterling in some surprise.
He had thought Eleanor Sterling would be saddened or upset, or even beg him not to cancel her design qualification.
But none of the imagined scenarios occurred.
Eleanor Sterling was calm to the point of being unnerving.
Adeline Sheffield couldn’t help but ask: "Miss Sterling, are you alright?"
Eleanor Sterling raised a slight smile and spoke with depth: "I’m fine, it’s others who have issues. I just hope you don’t regret it later."
After saying this, she turned around and left.
Her departing figure seemed carefree and confident, surprisingly making Adeline Sheffield’s heart tremble, as if Eleanor Sterling’s words might come true.
Outside, Faye Sterling was still there, seemingly waiting specifically for Eleanor Sterling. When Eleanor got close, Faye smiled triumphantly.
"Sister, did The Sheffield Family ask you to withdraw from the design this time? Sorry, but who told you to use the patented technology from my mentorship." Follow current novᴇls on NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Just as she expected, after seeing Anne Adler, The Sheffield Family abruptly abandoned Eleanor Sterling and chose her instead.
Even if her previous designs were outstanding, so what? It didn’t matter if someone invested in her.
She was always better than Eleanor!
Eleanor Sterling gave a half-smile, "Then congratulations."
Faye Sterling laughed victoriously, glanced disdainfully at Eleanor, "Just wait to face the lawsuit!"
On the way back, Micah Moss couldn’t help but ask: "Eleanor, what are you thinking? With Anne here, it was a good chance for reconciliation, but you did nothing."
Eleanor Sterling sighed silently.
Initially, she thought identity wasn’t important, but now she felt slapped in the face by reality; thus, she no longer felt the need to be polite.
She chuckled and said: "Don’t worry, the higher you stand, the harder you fall."
Micah Moss pressed his lips, not knowing what to say.
"From what I know, you wouldn’t risk using someone else’s patent just to win the design qualification for The Sheffield Family banquet. What are you actually planning?"
Eleanor Sterling laughed, "Do you really understand me well?"
Micah Moss blushed slightly, "I care about everything concerning you."
Because he liked Eleanor Sterling, he kept everything about her at heart, but he never dared to confess.
Seeing Micah Moss’s innocent appearance, Eleanor Sterling sighed silently in her heart.
What a sin, couldn’t she tell that Micah Moss liked her? But as long as he didn’t say it out loud, she’d continue pretending not to know.
Micah Moss deserves someone better, not a woman with a reputation like hers.
However, it had been almost three years, and Micah Moss was persistent.
If, after she completed everything, Micah remained by her side...
Then perhaps it wouldn’t be impossible for her to try being with him.
Eleanor Sterling came back to her senses, softened her voice, and said gently: "Micah, I know you’re worried, but you must believe I have the ability to handle this, and it’s all strategically planned by me."
After hearing Eleanor Sterling’s words, Micah Moss was startled.
Was it planned by Eleanor Sterling herself?
He’s always been worried about Eleanor Sterling, but she was more capable than he imagined.
Perhaps it was because of deep love that brought about nervousness, concern leading to confusion.
"Alright, I was overthinking. I should trust you."
