Chapter 370: Chapter 370
At this moment, Aaron Underwood signaled to two people from behind, and they stepped forward, whispering, "Miss, are you feeling unwell? Let us take you to sit down for a while."
Eleanor Sterling looked up and saw them wearing the bar’s uniform, assuming they were waitstaff, and didn’t think much about it, just nodded lightly.
Anyway, with her face now, no one would show any interest in her; she felt quite safe.
The two exchanged victorious glances and assisted Eleanor Sterling downstairs.
In a vacant private room, the light was switched on, instantly illuminating the small space.
Faye Sterling and Alaric Faulkner stepped inside together.
Alaric Faulkner looked somewhat impatient and spoke first, "Go ahead."
"Alaric, Eleanor’s been flirting around. Did you really fall for her?"
"Do I need to explain myself to you?"
Faye Sterling looked as if she was on the verge of tears; she hadn’t expected that Alaric Faulkner wouldn’t even bother to humor her anymore.
Why, why had she stolen Eleanor’s child and spent seven years by Alaric’s side, yet he still hadn’t been moved?
Thinking of the child, Faye Sterling regained her energy.
Yes! She still had this crucial bargaining chip, which Eleanor still didn’t know—Caleb Faulkner was her son.
Aaron should have succeeded, right? As long as they capture an exciting video of Eleanor with those guys, Alaric Faulkner will definitely kick her out.
"Alaric, I am Caleb’s mother, I..."
"If there’s nothing else, try not to appear in front of me in the future."
Alaric Faulkner interrupted her directly; he didn’t want to hear anything more from Faye Sterling.
Using Caleb Faulkner as a bargaining chip to threaten him wouldn’t have a high success rate.
After finishing his words, Alaric Faulkner turned and left, ignoring Faye Sterling’s cries behind him.
When Alaric Faulkner returned to the private room, Eleanor Sterling was nowhere to be seen. His expression darkened, showing some displeasure.
"Where is she?" he asked.
"Who? Alaric, are you looking for the Eldest Miss Sterling? Didn’t you just leave together?"
Alaric Faulkner’s face grew cold; it seemed Eleanor hadn’t come back to the private room but rather went somewhere unknown. Read full story at noᴠelfire.net
He was vexed by his concern for Eleanor, which led him to leave with Faye and listen to her nonsense.
Alaric Faulkner furrowed his brows in displeasure.
At this moment, Seth Sullivan entered from outside the private room, looking quite tense, and said urgently, "Alaric, why did you let the Eldest Miss Sterling leave?"
Seeing his grim expression, Dylan Lawson asked in surprise, "What’s wrong with you? Did something happen?"
Seth Sullivan replied anxiously, "There was something wrong with those cocktails just now!"
Alaric Faulkner’s face fell, and his entire demeanor turned cold.
Seth Sullivan said, "When I went out just now to find a drink, I heard the bartender say those drinks brought in just now were specially mixed, used for... uh, excitement, you know?"
No drugs were involved, but the drinks could excite someone, which was no less than...
Alaric Faulkner’s eyes suddenly burst with intensity.
No wonder Eleanor seemed a bit different earlier.
Without another word, he turned and went out to find her.
Seth Sullivan asked, "Should we help search for her?"
"Let’s go, if the Eldest Miss Sterling isn’t found, Alaric will surely go crazy."
The previous time, there was already a situation, much more severe than this. Although now it’s different, it’s still quite similar.
"And over at Stella’s side? Should we remind him to pay attention?"
Eleanor had cocktails earlier, and so did Stella Hawthorne and Xander Lawson.
If there’s a situation here, could Stella Hawthorne and Xander Lawson also have problems?
Dylan Lawson’s eyes dimmed, and he said, "We don’t need to worry about that side; some people always need a little stimulation to return to their rightful position."
Seeing Dylan Lawson saying that, Seth Sullivan also stopped worrying.
The two left the private room together to search for Eleanor Sterling.
