In the Faulkner Family study, Alaric Faulkner was sitting in a chair.
In front of him was a computer displaying the explosive online news about Eleanor Sterling over the past few days, filled with various unsightly insults in the comments.
Since the exposé, the issue of Eleanor Sterling misusing patents has escalated, attracting attention not only from the design world but also from The State of Xylos and its Royal Family.
After all, the world’s top designer, Yuna, is the designated designer for the Royal Family.
Alaric Faulkner’s expression was inscrutable as his long fingers tapped lightly on the table, his thoughts swirling.
Suddenly, the phone next to him rang.
He picked it up and glanced at it—Elijah Hayes was calling.
"President Faulkner, it seems the Sheffield Family is afraid of getting involved, so they’d rather return our money and choose Faye Sterling."
Because he wanted to keep his identity secret, Elijah Hayes did not reveal his identity when investing. If the Sheffield Family knew that the mysterious investor was The Faulkner Group, they definitely wouldn’t dare to do so.
Alaric Faulkner’s eyes darkened, as deep and unfathomable as a dense forest, with a hint of coldness.
In the entire Veridia City, the Sheffield Family was the first to dare reject investment from The Faulkner Group, though they didn’t realize what they were missing.
This matter was very unfavorable for Eleanor Sterling, yet she insisted she needed no help.
Elijah Hayes suggested, "President Faulkner, if you truly want to help Miss Sterling, why not contact Anne Adler? Perhaps you could persuade her to withdraw the lawsuit, so Miss Sterling wouldn’t have to bear the responsibility."
Contacting Anne Adler likely involved spending money. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on noᴠelfire.net
After all, if Alaric Faulkner had anything in abundance, it was money.
If he offered more money than what could be gained through suing, it’s believed no one would remain unmoved.
After all, litigation is time-consuming and labor-intensive; earning money this way would be much easier.
After a moment of silence, Alaric Faulkner spoke, "Give you ten minutes, find out Anne Adler’s address for me."
"Okay, I’ll check immediately."
Ten minutes, neither more nor less, and Elijah Hayes had found Anne Adler’s current address.
Seeing that familiar place, Elijah Hayes fell silent, took a deep breath, and eventually called Alaric Faulkner.
"President Faulkner, Anne Adler’s address has been found."
Elijah Hayes hesitated for a bit and said, "Um... I’ll just send it to your phone for you to see."
He knew Alaric Faulkner intended to personally negotiate with Anne Adler and was astonished to discover such an earth-shattering secret while searching.
Hearing this, Alaric Faulkner frowned, finding Elijah Hayes a bit odd, wondering why he couldn’t say it directly and had to send a message instead.
After speaking, Elijah Hayes hung up the phone.
Alaric Faulkner’s phone chimed with a message from Elijah Hayes—the address.
Alaric Faulkner looked down, and the next second his eyes narrowed slightly at the display: "The Elysian Apartments."
Alaric Faulkner stared at that address for a moment before gently curling the corners of his lips.
It was no wonder she refused his help, so this was the reason.
He quickly guessed Eleanor Sterling’s identity.
If Anne Adler truly intended to sue Eleanor Sterling, she wouldn’t possibly go to stay at her place.
Besides Hades, who would’ve thought Eleanor Sterling had such an astonishing identity?
The mysteries surrounding this woman were growing more numerous, making her completely inscrutable to him.
He was growing increasingly curious about her, wondering what kind of surprises Eleanor Sterling could bring him next.
No wonder she was so confident, it seemed she was ready to give everyone a big surprise.
Since this was the case, he wouldn’t need to intervene, just wait for Eleanor Sterling to make her move.
After thinking about it, Alaric Faulkner took out his phone again and dialed Elijah Hayes’s number.
"Give Eleanor Sterling an invitation to the Sheffield Family."
"Yes, I’ll do it right away."
Alaric Faulkner paused for a moment, curved his lips, and added, "In the capacity of my companion."
Indeed, change was in the air if Alaric Faulkner was going to publicly escort Eleanor Sterling to the banquet.
