Chapter 282: Chapter 282

Faye Sterling’s eyes flickered. Sure enough, Eleanor Sterling had come to ask for the necklace. Now that the necklace was with her, there was no way she would give it back to Eleanor.

After a moment of silence, Rosalie Ray relented, "Your mother did leave something behind."

Eleanor Sterling’s eyes darkened, her expression slightly cold, "Give it to me."

"It’s not impossible to give it to you, but you need to stay away from Alaric Faulkner. He’s not a man you can dream of having."

Rosalie Ray couldn’t understand why, even after she arranged for Faye Sterling to pretend to sleep with Alaric Faulkner, he still cared about Eleanor Sterling.

Could Eleanor Sterling really have that much charm?

Eleanor Sterling sneered, looking at Rosalie Ray, she spoke slowly and deliberately, "He’s not someone I can dream of, then who can? Faye Sterling?"

Faye Sterling had given birth to Alaric Faulkner’s child, yet for seven years she still couldn’t marry into the Faulkner Family, which was a joke in Veridia City.

Others might respectfully call her the future Mrs. Faulkner to her face, but behind her back, no one knew how they mocked her.

Clearly, Eleanor Sterling’s tone now was also intent on ridiculing Faye Sterling.

Faye Sterling’s face turned black.

She shouted angrily, "Eleanor Sterling! What do you mean by that! Alaric is mine, don’t you dare have any improper thoughts.

Do you not fear being pointed at and called shameless and despicable for daring to touch your brother-in-law?"

Thinking about the relationship between Alaric Faulkner and herself, Eleanor Sterling lowered her eyes, hiding the emotions in them.

No matter what she thought, she couldn’t back down or show weakness in front of Rosalie Ray and Faye Sterling. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI~Fire.net

Eleanor Sterling chuckled softly, "You’ve already ruined my reputation to the point where it’s despised by everyone. Even if I trampled on the moral bottom line and really took Alaric Faulkner, so what?"

Rosalie Ray clenched her fists, gritting her teeth, while Faye Sterling wished she could rush forward and fight Eleanor Sterling.

Even though she was furious, remembering her plan, Rosalie Ray forcibly restrained herself.

She held back Faye Sterling, signaling her not to act impulsively, only then did Faye calm down.

Rosalie Ray said coldly, "The company rightfully belongs to Faye. You need to offer something else of value. If we’re satisfied, we’ll give the item back to you."

The inheritance couldn’t be given to Eleanor Sterling so easily, otherwise it would arouse her suspicion.

Eleanor Sterling frowned, "What do you want?"

Rosalie Ray snorted, "Let’s see what you can offer us."

Faye Sterling added smugly, "I think you should just hand over your lousy company."

Eleanor Sterling should only have one company, and once she handed over Celeste Jewels, she would have no support and definitely wouldn’t be able to surpass Faye.

Seeing Faye Sterling’s expression, Eleanor Sterling knew exactly what she was thinking.

She retrieved the transfer of equity document.

Faye Sterling was anxious, asking, "What are you doing? Why are you taking it back?"

"The negotiation fell through." Eleanor Sterling glanced at her coldly.

She couldn’t be bothered to argue too much with the two of them.

"Now while I am still calm and collected in this transaction, you should make a decision quickly.

Don’t wait for me to resort to other means to force you, by then it won’t be you making the choice."

With her current abilities, she could apprehend Rosalie Ray and Faye Sterling, or even poison them to let them die just like that.

But would that be satisfying?

What they did to her back then made her endure a hundredfold of pain; letting them die so easily was too lenient on them.

The most important thing right now was to find her biological father first, and then deal with them thoroughly!

Rosalie Ray initially wanted to suppress Eleanor Sterling, but she didn’t expect Eleanor to remain neither humble nor overbearing, completely unaffected by any threat.

Instead, she was left with a stomach full of anger.

Indeed, she couldn’t push Eleanor Sterling too hard. She also feared Eleanor using other means against her, which might expose some things.

"Wait here!" Rosalie Ray threw down her words and got up to go upstairs.
