Chapter 267: Chapter 267

With anger boiling inside him, Alaric Faulkner drove to the hotel where Eleanor Sterling was staying.

Due to his status, he easily obtained a pass to access the elevator floors.

As he entered the elevator, Blanche Hayes walked out from the banquet hall. She caught sight of Alaric Faulkner passing by, her face full of delight.

She wanted to catch up to him but realized he had already entered the elevator, the doors closing as the numbers began to slowly rise.

Blanche Hayes wore a look of confusion.

What was Alaric Faulkner doing at the hotel? Had he returned to Aethelgard?

Could he be staying at the hotel?

Alaric Faulkner had been in Veridia City for a long time. Did he suddenly return to Aethelgard, unable to get used to staying with the Faulkner Family, and choose to stay at a hotel instead?

After some speculation, Blanche Hayes couldn’t contain her excitement and immediately booked a room at the front desk.

She wanted to stay close to Alaric Faulkner to have a chance to approach him.

Though only a rumor, Blanche Hayes didn’t mind turning it into reality.

She was determined to become Alaric Faulkner’s woman.

If Alaric Faulkner hadn’t been in that godforsaken place Veridia City, she would have chased after him long ago if she couldn’t stand the high-society life in Aethelgard.

Otherwise, how could she tolerate women in Veridia City coveting him?

But women from that small town of Veridia City were not even worth her attention; she didn’t even bother to investigate any of them, thinking Alaric Faulkner was just playing around.

Blanche Hayes was confident that with the Hayes Family’s status, an alliance through marriage with the Faulkner Family wouldn’t be difficult.

Now that Alaric Faulkner was in Aethelgard, it was her best chance!

After getting the room card, Blanche Hayes wanted to inquire about Alaric Faulkner’s room.

But the receptionist was tight-lipped, unwilling to reveal anything.

Finally, Blanche Hayes snorted softly. If they wouldn’t say, so be it; staying here, she could eventually run into Alaric Faulkner.

Blanche Hayes could only take the room card and ride the elevator upstairs.

Inside the room, Eleanor Sterling removed her face mask, washed her face, and was planning to sleep when the doorbell suddenly rang.

The hotel’s security system was excellent, so she wasn’t afraid of strangers, assuming it must be Liam Keene coming back with something he forgot to mention.

As she opened the door, she blurted out, "Is there something else you forgot to say?"

Seeing who it was, Eleanor Sterling’s eyes widened in surprise. "Alaric Faulkner? What are you doing here?"

At that moment, Eleanor’s slightly surprised tone sounded to Alaric Faulkner’s ears as if she were panicking.

Why was she panicking? Was it because of the assistant in her room? Was she afraid he would see?

The more he thought, the darker Alaric Faulkner’s expression became.

Eleanor Sterling looked at Alaric Faulkner with a calm face, which seemed a bit like someone settling accounts in autumn, and she cleared her throat, "I was really busy earlier."

Could it be that this guy stormed over because she hung up on him?

"May I come in?" Alaric Faulkner asked.

"Not really..." convenient.

Before Eleanor could finish her sentence, Alaric Faulkner had already walked in.

She looked speechless and could only shut the door.

Eleanor Sterling looked puzzled, watching Alaric Faulkner wandering around the room as if searching for something.

Liam Keene had booked Eleanor a small suite, with a layout similar to an ordinary residence, with one bedroom and one living room.

Eleanor looked astonished, "Do you have any business?"

Running over in the middle of the night, barging in without saying a word, and now acting all weird.

Eleanor had to suspect that Alaric Faulkner had lost his mind.

Alaric Faulkner sat back on the sofa and asked coldly, "Where’s the person?"

Eleanor was speechless. What random guy?

She crossed her arms, looking at Alaric Faulkner, "Are you coming to my place in the middle of the night to look for some random guy? Are you alright?"

"Where’s the man I heard on the phone earlier?"
