Chapter 231: Chapter 231

Inside the hotel room.

Eleanor Sterling felt a little better after leaving the banquet hall just now, but she hadn’t fully recovered. The abnormal condition in her body surged like wildfire again.

She already knew what had happened to her.

She was probably sabotaged by someone.

Eleanor Sterling breathed heavily, gritting her teeth as she tried to recall how she was tricked at the banquet.

But her mind was in chaos now; she couldn’t focus at all.

Fortunately, she was already inside the room, and her embarrassed state wouldn’t be seen by others.

If this had happened in front of the reporters just now, her already ruined reputation would likely get worse.

Eleanor Sterling gritted her teeth, wishing fervently to skin the perpetrator alive. If she ever found out who did this, she’d surely give them a proper lesson.

She supported her body to get up and find her bag.

Inside were silver acupuncture needles that could relieve her symptoms.

Eleanor Sterling found the small bag she had discarded to the side, took out some needles from it, and pricked herself several times.

There was some effect, but it wasn’t very noticeable. At times , the only option was to soak in cold water to relieve her symptoms.

She went to the bathroom, turned on the water faucet, and then lay down in the bathtub.

The commotion at the banquet soon ended.

The reporters were sent away by Elijah Hayes, order was restored at the scene, and guests left in an orderly manner.

Estelle Sterling and Caleb Faulkner had been paying attention to the situation on-site, Estelle Sterling was a bit puzzled, "Why is Hades still perfectly fine?"

Eleanor Sterling was a little uncomfortable and withdrew just now.

Yet Alaric Faulkner seemed unaffected, which was really strange.

Estelle Sterling had a faintly bad premonition, he tugged Caleb Faulkner, asking: "Little Caleb, did you really give the drink to Hades just now?"

Caleb Faulkner nodded, "Yes."

"Did you hand it over yourself?" Estelle Sterling pursued.

Caleb Faulkner said: "Of course! How could I possibly entrust such a thing to others!"

"Did you see him drink it?"

"Uh..." Caleb Faulkner paused, then scratched his head, "Well, I didn’t. He didn’t drink it, did he?"

Estelle Sterling slapped his thigh, "Oh no!"

Caleb Faulkner realized things weren’t good either and hurriedly said, "What do we do? Eleanor Mama drank it, but Daddy didn’t."

"Don’t panic, just now Hazel Godmother took Sister Eleanor down, I’ll call her."

Estelle Sterling took out his phone and dialed Hazel Langley’s number.

The phone rang for a long time, and no one answered.

Caleb Faulkner leaned over, watching the phone that remained unanswered, his expression turning a bit anxious.

"No one’s answering, what do we do? Could something have happened to Eleanor Mama?"

Estelle Sterling bit his lip, "Let’s not panic, we’ll go ask someone."

The two little ones ran off together.

Soon, they found a cleaning lady. Estelle Sterling asked, "Auntie, have you seen my Mama?"

The cleaning lady glanced down and asked, "Who’s your Mama?"

"Eleanor Sterling, the person hosting the celebration banquet at this hall today, have you seen her?"

"No." The cleaning lady shook her head.

Estelle Sterling sighed, not knowing where Hazel Langley had taken Eleanor Sterling.

Caleb Faulkner patted Estelle Sterling’s shoulder, "Maybe it’s okay, we shouldn’t be too anxious. But it’s odd, my Second Uncle is missing too, he..."

Halfway through speaking, Caleb Faulkner hurriedly stopped.

A suspicion emerged in his mind.

He looked at Estelle Sterling, "Little Star, do you think it’s possible that the drink wasn’t drunk by my Daddy, but was drunk by Second Uncle?"

Estelle Sterling’s face turned pale; this possibility wasn’t out of the question.

At this point, the cleaning lady seemed to recognize Caleb Faulkner. She said, "Are you the young master of the Faulkner Family?"

Caleb Faulkner nodded, "Yes, do you know me?"

"Are you looking for Mr. Faulkner the Second? I just saw him leaving with a woman." Content originally comes from novelꜰire.net

The two little ones were instantly petrified, staring at the cleaning lady blankly.

"What... what did you say!! Did Second Uncle take Eleanor Mama away?" Caleb Faulkner eagerly questioned.

The cleaning lady didn’t know who Eleanor Mama was, but the woman was probably about right.

So she nodded, "Yes, I saw it."

With a crashing sound, the two children’s minds felt like they were struck by a meteor.

"What do we do? What do we do!" Caleb Faulkner spun around in a panic.

Originally, they didn’t want Jasper Faulkner to be their dad, which is why they tried to pair Alaric Faulkner with Eleanor Sterling.

Unexpectedly, due to fate, such a thing happened.

Doesn’t this mean they’ll have to call Jasper Faulkner dad in the future, and treat Alaric Faulkner as an uncle?

"Come on, let’s find Hades. We should be able to stop it in time, or else we’ll have to change dads!"

Estelle Sterling pulled Caleb Faulkner and headed toward the banquet hall.

Alaric Faulkner watched as Elijah Hayes handled things, intending to get up and find Eleanor Sterling, but bumped into two small figures.

He looked down to see Caleb Faulkner and Estelle Sterling and said, "I’ll have Elijah send you back."

Estelle Sterling, panting heavily, clutched Alaric Faulkner’s coat tightly, urgently asking, "Did you not drink the glass of wine Little Caleb gave you just now?"

Alaric Faulkner looked at him, puzzled.

The glass of wine Caleb Faulkner gave him?

It seemed Caleb Faulkner handed him a glass of wine, they encountered Jasper Faulkner afterward, and then it was taken by him.

Alaric Faulkner shook his head, "No."

Caleb Faulkner was on the verge of tears, "Daddy, did you give it to Second Uncle? Let him drink it?"

Seeing the two little ones, their faces anxious and voices choked with urgency, Alaric Faulkner asked, "What?"

Caleb Faulkner said, "There was something in the wine, just now the cleaning lady said, Second Uncle left with a woman, what do we do?"

Alaric Faulkner was startled; he then recalled Eleanor Sterling’s discomfort earlier.

His aura suddenly chilled, his gaze fierce as he looked at Estelle Sterling and Caleb Faulkner, "Did Eleanor Sterling drink it too?"

"Yes." The two shrunk their heads, somewhat fearfully.

Alaric Faulkner clenched his teeth, contemplating that if both Jasper Faulkner and Eleanor Sterling were drugged, and Jasper Faulkner took Eleanor Sterling away.

He took out his phone and dialed Jasper Faulkner’s number, which showed a continuous waiting-to-connect status.

Then he switched to Eleanor Sterling’s number, but it was the same.

Alaric Faulkner’s face grew more solemn, as if Hades descended, inciting fear in others.

"Elijah!" he shouted.

Elijah Hayes, still managing affairs, heard Alaric Faulkner’s call and immediately turned to come over.

Upon seeing Alaric Faulkner’s murderous look, his heart skipped a beat.

This is terrifying. Who angered Alaric Faulkner?

"Go find Jasper Faulkner’s whereabouts, within five minutes!"

"Uh... yes!" Elijah Hayes dared not ask more, promptly nodded in agreement.
