Chapter 408: Chapter 408

The next day, Elijah Hayes received an important task. This text is hosted at NoveIＦire.net

He widened his eyes in disbelief at Alaric Faulkner, his voice starting to stammer.

"Pre... President Faulkner, did I hear wrong? Did you just say Miss Faye Sterling?"

Alaric Faulkner hadn’t slept all night, dark circles under his eyes, looking exhausted.

"You didn’t hear wrong." His eyes were cold and deep, his hoarse voice unwaveringly firm.

After speaking, Alaric Faulkner lowered his gaze, concealing the darkness in his eyes.

Elijah Hayes held the velvet box in his hand, feeling completely thrown off.

Yesterday, Eleanor Sterling had arranged to dine with Alaric Faulkner to meet her family, and today Alaric Faulkner was sending this thing to Faye Sterling.

This... This was simply...

No! Yesterday, it seemed Eleanor Sterling had a fiancé, and it was that one from The Hawthorne Family. Could it be that they fell out because of this?

Elijah Hayes speculated internally, but outwardly he smiled, saying, "Alright, I’ll go deliver this to Miss Faye Sterling."

In the corner, Caleb Faulkner’s eyes widened as he overheard the conversation between Alaric Faulkner and Elijah Hayes.

His expression changed dramatically, and he immediately turned and ran out.

Inside the room, Estelle Sterling was still fiddling with her computer when Caleb Faulkner burst in, anxiously shouting, "Estelle, something’s wrong!"

Without turning her head, Estelle Sterling responded, "What now? Has President Hades stirred up trouble again?"

"Ah!" Caleb Faulkner moved his claw from her mouse, pressing her shoulder to turn her around. "Listen to me!"

Estelle Sterling sighed helplessly, "Alright, go on."

"I just overheard Daddy planning to give a ring to that wicked woman. Do you think he’s moved on and doesn’t want Mummy Eleanor anymore? What do we do?"

"What!" Estelle Sterling almost jumped up, frowning and gritting his teeth. "President Hades, is he really giving Faye Sterling a ring?"

"Yes, I just heard it with my own ears."

The significance of a ring is no small matter; a man giving a woman a ring means he wants to spend his life with her!

The more Estelle Sterling thought about it, the darker his face grew, until he was clenching his teeth in anger.

His mummy wouldn’t tolerate others being bullied !

"Estelle, what should we do now? Did they have a fight?"

Estelle Sterling clenched his fists, "Don’t panic yet. Have someone keep an eye on things, and we’ll act as the situation demands."

Caleb Faulkner could only nod, "Alright, I’ll arrange it right away. No, we should bring Elijah Hayes back for questioning."

Thus, Elijah Hayes, who hadn’t yet left the villa district, received a call from Caleb Faulkner.

He had to turn back, and soon he was brought into the room with the two little ones.

Elijah Hayes sat in a chair, looking at Caleb Faulkner and Estelle Sterling who were scrutinizing him.

He spoke up somewhat fearfully, "Little masters, President Faulkner gave me an important task that I have to complete. Do you need something?"

A little hand stretched out in front of him, and Elijah Hayes’ expression changed. Did they know Alaric Faulkner sent him to deliver the ring?

"No... I can’t. President Faulkner instructed this, and if it’s not done well, my life won’t be safe."

So the ring absolutely couldn’t be given away.

Caleb Faulkner exchanged a look with Estelle Sterling and said, "Search!"

At his words, Estelle Sterling stepped forward, while they worked together to search him thoroughly.

Before long, they indeed found a velvet box.

Estelle Sterling opened the box, and upon seeing the ring inside, his face turned dark as he cursed angrily, "Damn! That dog of a man!"

This was a ring designed by Eleanor Sterling. Alaric Faulkner was sending a ring designed by Eleanor Sterling to Faye Sterling, intending to infuriate Eleanor Sterling!
