Chapter 340: Chapter 340

On the day of the charity auction.

The charity auction is the largest public welfare organization in Aethelgard, attended only by various political and business elites.

It’s nearly impossible for ordinary people to get an invitation.

Unless they’re tagging along with a bigwig.

Faye Sterling attended with three of her girlfriends. They looked at the many celebrities who came as companions with business elites, eyes filled with envy.

Although they didn’t have the money to bid, just being able to broaden their horizons satisfied them.

Perhaps they could even hook up with some wealthy people, so they wouldn’t have to rely on Faye’s invitation anymore.

This was what the women were thinking.

"Faye, let’s go in quickly." They hurriedly urged Faye Sterling.

Faye Sterling smiled lightly, "Don’t rush, the seats are all arranged. Let’s go in together."

After they went in, Eleanor Sterling arrived with Stella Hawthorne and Stella’s shadow bodyguard, Xander Lawson.

Eleanor Sterling planned to find her seat once she got there.

Unexpectedly, she ran into someone familiar.

Hazel Langley was taken aback to see Eleanor Sterling. She walked over, "Eleanor, you came too? What happened to your face?"

Eleanor Sterling cleared her throat, "Allergic reaction."

"How did it get so serious? Have you seen a doctor?" Hazel Langley asked worriedly.

Eleanor Sterling didn’t want to reveal too much, so she quickly changed the topic, "I have. Don’t worry—are you here for the auction too?"

"Accompanying... a friend." Hazel Langley glanced at Stella Hawthorne by Eleanor’s side, not daring to say it was a boyfriend.

After all, dealing with an entertainment industry star.

Eleanor Sterling understood and waved her hand, "Go ahead in first; we’ll talk after the event."

"Okay, I’ll go in then."

Stella Hawthorne watched Hazel Langley’s departing figure, turned her head, and looked at Eleanor Sterling with starry eyes.

"Oh my, Eleanor, do you actually know Hazel Langley! The actress Hazel Langley?"

Apparently, she was another little fan entranced by Hazel Langley. Eleanor Sterling chuckled lightly, "I’ll introduce you someday."

At this moment, a man walked over to them.

A snow-white shirt paired with neatly pressed trousers, exuding a noble and elegant charm of a mature man.

Stella Hawthorne joyfully went over, took his arm, and said sweetly, "Brother, you’re here!"

Eleanor Sterling looked at his features, similar to someone else by six or seven parts, and suddenly felt she had discerned the truth.

As expected, Jordan Hawthorne was part of the Hawthorne Family.

But he had always been in K Country and never left; things seemed not so simple.

While Eleanor Sterling was lost in thought, Stella Hawthorne had already brought the person in front of her.

"Brother, this is my roommate, Eleanor Sterling."

"Eleanor, this is my brother, Silas Hawthorne."

Stella Hawthorne eagerly introduced Eleanor Sterling.

Xander Lawson bowed respectfully, "Young Master Hawthorne."

Silas Hawthorne nodded, looking towards Eleanor Sterling, without any dismissive or disdainful expression, seeming very gentlemanly. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on noⅴelfire.net

Eleanor Sterling snapped back to reality, flashed a slight smile, and said, "Hello, Mr. Hawthorne."

Silas Hawthorne assessed Eleanor Sterling briefly.

Eleanor Sterling’s face was red and swollen now, no need for makeup. She and Stella Hawthorne came directly after their class.

Today, she wore a black dress, with matching high heels beneath her feet, like an enchanting black rose, beautiful yet dangerous.

Yet, the face was indeed a bit frightening, but also more mysterious, making one involuntarily imagine what her appearance might be if the blemishes disappeared.

Regret flashed in Silas Hawthorne’s eyes.

He smiled and said, "Is this the one you often mention who left you far behind, the top scorer Eleanor Sterling?"

Stella Hawthorne blushed, "Oh, brother, don’t tease me."

Eleanor Sterling smiled gracefully, "Anyone who can get into medical school is impressive."

After exchanging pleasantries, Silas Hawthorne asked, "Would Miss Sterling like to join us?"

Eleanor Sterling shook her head, "No need, I already have an invitation, thank you."

Stella Hawthorne tugged on Silas Hawthorne, addressing Eleanor Sterling, "Alright, let’s stop chatting here. It’s time to enter; let’s go."

Silas Hawthorne said, "Then we’ll take our leave first."

Eleanor Sterling nodded, and Stella Hawthorne pulled Silas Hawthorne inside quickly.

She turned and was just about to enter when she suddenly saw a familiar figure.
