Chapter 243: Chapter 243

Although Eleanor Sterling didn’t want to get involved with Alaric Faulkner, she had to admit that he had helped her many times, and no matter how hard-hearted someone was, they couldn’t maintain a cold demeanor toward him.

He was kicked out by Mrs. Faulkner, so it wasn’t a big deal for her to let him stay for a night.

But it seemed like Micah Moss wanted an explanation?

Eleanor Sterling pursed her lips, thought for a moment, then said, "Micah, as I said before, I would prioritize choosing you, you..."

"Eleanor!" Micah interrupted her, looking at her sincerely, "It’s fine, I believe you must have a reason for letting him stay, I trust you!"

It was as if he were self-hypnotizing, Micah’s tone was much heavier, different from his usual gentle demeanor.

He was anxious, afraid that Eleanor Sterling would distance herself from him.

"Uh, it’s true that Alaric had some reason to be at my home, but I’m afraid I can’t tell you."

If Micah knew Alaric was kicked out of his home, it would be humiliating for him.

After all, as dignified as President Faulkner was, Eleanor Sterling chose to protect his dignity by keeping it a secret for him.

Micah forced a smile, he actually understood everything.

Perhaps Eleanor Sterling wasn’t that strongly inclined towards love, but Alaric Faulkner definitely liked Eleanor Sterling.

He knew what it meant for a man to have difficulties and not seek help from others, but instead find a woman to assist him.

Because Eleanor Sterling was kind-hearted, she didn’t think too much and offered Alaric a place to stay.

At the moment Eleanor Sterling spoke, Micah almost knew what she was going to say.

His words still caused her distress; Eleanor Sterling wanted him to forget what she said before and sever ties with him.

But he had finally made a step forward, so how could he give up this hard-won opportunity?

Micah smiled and said, "I understand."

With this interruption, Eleanor Sterling didn’t know what else to say, she chuckled and said, "Alright, let’s not talk about that, anyway, Alaric Faulkner will move out in a couple of days."

A flash of dark color passed through Micah’s eyes.

Still a couple of days?

But from Eleanor Sterling’s tone, it seemed like the two of them were merely living under the same roof without any relationship involved.

Micah felt slightly relieved. Latest content published on N0veI.Fiɾe.net

"Let’s talk about something happy, this time I won the bet with Faye Sterling, so you can wait to collect the money."

Micah smiled and nodded, "Eleanor, you are truly amazing, it’s all thanks to you."

After arriving at the office, Eleanor Sterling saw An An grinning from ear to ear.

"What’s up? Is there any good news you’d like to share?"

Seeing Eleanor Sterling, An An excitedly said to her, "Oh, boss, I’ve hit it big."

Eleanor Sterling smiled and looked at her.

"Today, I delivered all the pre-ordered goods, so we’ve completely won that bet!"

Upon hearing An An’s words, Eleanor Sterling knew she must have placed quite a bit of money on her too.

She curled her lips into a smile and said, "So now you’re a little rich lady, An An?"

An An puffed out her chest, "That’s right."

Eleanor chatted with her for a while, then returned to her office chair.

She turned on the computer and began to browse the news about Faye Sterling’s situation.

The Sterling Family should have taken care of it by now.

Indeed, last night The Sterling Family issued a clarification statement overnight, stating that the appraisal was false, and Sally’s Medical Laboratory didn’t make any statement either.

This matter was smooth-talked over.

Even if some people doubted, since The Sterling Family had already said so, and nothing else happened, the onlookers had no other options.

However, the hottest topic of discussion was still the biggest gamble in Veridia City, as everyone more or less had a stake in it, impacting their interests.

Faye Sterling was truly caught in a dilemma now.

She lost the bet with Eleanor Sterling, and the delayed delivery of jewelry led many customers to ask for refunds, resulting in a mountain of debts.

Finally, it was revealed that the designs displayed at the press conference weren’t Thea’s Jewelry’s new products, but rather purchased jewelry used as filling.

Her reputation was sour now, with many people cursing her fiercely.

Online discussions were in full swing, almost overshadowing the matter of her identity appraisal.

Faye Sterling seemed to have no way out now, and her Thea’s Jewelry had already lost to Eleanor Sterling.

Faye Sterling’s Thea’s Jewelry had to issue a statement to suspend operations for a rectification, with the reopening date undetermined.

A jewelry company that had begun to rise was now so silent that starting again would be challenging...

Eleanor Sterling looked at it with some happiness; she stood up and went to The Sterling Family to collect her interest.

Given that Faye Sterling dared to bet in the first place, she should be able to bear the consequences.

The old Sterling family mansion.

Faye Sterling looked dejected and haggard, while Rosalie Ray was comforting her.

"Faye, don’t be afraid, we’ll try to mitigate the losses, Mom will help you save the company."

Knowing she had lost to Eleanor Sterling, Faye Sterling couldn’t resign herself, she gritted her teeth, her eyes bloodshot.

As soon as Eleanor Sterling appeared, Faye Sterling’s resentful gaze shot straight toward her.

The disappointment from yesterday had long gone, Eleanor Sterling’s face was full of joy.

Seeing Faye Sterling’s expression, Eleanor Sterling smiled.

"You’ve lost. I wonder when Thea’s Jewelry will go through the transfer process for the legal representative?"

"Eleanor Sterling! I haven’t lost, just wait, I will rise again."

"Really? I’m looking forward to it."

Rosalie Ray cried, "Eleanor Sterling, Thea’s Jewelry is Faye’s hard work. Are you really this heartless?

Your bet was only verbal, and Faye has already been punished for it.

Why do you have to keep holding onto her? Please forgive her."

Eleanor Sterling watched with leisure as Rosalie Ray spoke with such conviction.

After she finished, she spoke, "I can give up Thea’s Jewelry if you give me my mother’s relics."

Rosalie Ray’s face changed slightly, instantly silenced.

Faye Sterling clutched Rosalie Ray, pleading desperately, "Mom, just give it to her, this company I worked hard to establish, I don’t want to give up, I’m begging you."

"Faye, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but there’s really no relics," Rosalie Ray gritted her teeth and said.

Eleanor Sterling’s eyes flashed, things had come to this point.

Rosalie Ray wouldn’t budge, not even for Faye’s sake, so what exactly was this thing worth protecting so fiercely?

At this moment, Old Master Sterling and others also arrived.

Faye Sterling cried to him, "Grandpa, I shouldn’t have bet with Eleanor Sterling, I really don’t want to lose this company."

Because her identity was exposed yesterday, she didn’t ask Gregory Sterling for help, but instead pleaded with Old Master Sterling.

Old Master Sterling looked at Eleanor Sterling standing beside him.

He asked, "Eleanor, what do you think about this matter?"

Eleanor Sterling sneered and said, "I remember when I first came back, Faye Sterling confidently demanded I hand over the company, so I made a bet with her.

Now I’ve won, yet she doesn’t want to hand over the company. Should I tolerate her capriciousness?

If today I had lost, could I cry a little and not hand over the company to Faye Sterling?"

Everyone knew the answer was no, Faye Sterling had been so arrogant because she was confident she would win.
