Chapter 562: Chapter 562
In the living room, the servant brought in tea.
Eleanor Sterling had just picked it up when she heard several hurried footsteps approaching.
She saw two men with quite similar appearances walking over together.
The Keating Family has five brothers. Eleanor instantly figured out their identities, likely they were also among the Keating brothers.
Landon Keating, the third brother, sat on the sofa and asked, "Fifth, I heard you brought someone back to treat Mom?"
The second brother, Flynn Keating, glanced over Eleanor Sterling and Alaric Faulkner.
Then, with a contemptuous expression, he rudely asked, "What kind of medical expert is this person?"
Alaric Faulkner’s eyes darkened, but Eleanor Sterling held his hand, signaling him to stay calm.
Feeling Eleanor’s soft hand holding his, Alaric gradually calmed down. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Before Ronan could respond, Giselle and Xavier Keating came downstairs.
Giselle’s voice abruptly interjected, mocking, "Second Brother, this person is not any kind of medical expert, just a medical student who knows nothing!"
Upon hearing this, Flynn’s face turned unpleasant.
He reproached discontentedly, "Fifth, even if you are anxious, you shouldn’t grab at straws when seeking a cure."
Xavier Keating sat elegantly and calmly on the sofa, his deep eyes looking at Ronan.
"Fifth, give us a reason we can accept, otherwise, we can’t let strangers near Mom today."
The eldest, the most authoritative voice in the Keating Family.
When he speaks, everyone must listen, which is why Giselle approached him.
Giselle let out a cold laugh, saying, "Big Brother, Fifth insists on bringing Eleanor Sterling to treat Mom. Who knows what kind of enchantment he’s under."
Ronan appeared a bit embarrassed.
Before departing, Eleanor had already said she didn’t want to reveal her identity.
Now, being confronted by the Keating family, without giving a satisfactory explanation, he really couldn’t resolve the issue.
Ronan glanced at Eleanor, trying to gauge her intention.
But, unfortunately, Eleanor didn’t even look at him.
She sipped her tea gracefully and calmly, as if they weren’t even discussing her.
Eleanor’s message was clear: Ronan should handle this himself.
Ronan felt like crying but had no tears. He feared he couldn’t persuade his other brothers today.
The best way would be to reveal Eleanor’s identity as Sally, but Eleanor didn’t allow it.
After a moment’s silence, Ronan finally said, "Have you misunderstood? They are not here to treat Mom’s illness; they are my invited friends at the Keating house."
At this, Giselle immediately retorted, "Fifth Brother, you’re lying, you clearly brought them here for treatment!"
Ronan was now out of tactics, deciding to let Eleanor and Alaric stay first and talk later.
"I have had a long-standing collaboration with President Faulkner, and I invited him to the Keating house when I met him in Lyria."
Ronan firmly asserted that this was indeed the case.
Xavier’s eyes narrowed slightly, saying, "Since they are friends of Fifth Brother, we should treat them well."
He looked at Eleanor Sterling and Alaric Faulkner, apologetically, "I’m sorry, my brothers were impulsive, and their words were offensive. Please forgive us."
Alaric curled his lips into a smile, knowing that if not for Eleanor holding him back, he would have long wanted to pull Eleanor and leave due to their attitude.
However, considering Xavier’s sincere apology, he reluctantly forgave them.
Ronan sighed in relief after hearing Xavier’s words.
In any case, first let Eleanor and Alaric stay, and later find a way for Eleanor to treat the illness.
Ronan waved to the servant, "Take President Faulkner and Miss Sterling to the guest room."
Alaric pulled Eleanor to her feet, and they directly left the place.
Watching Alaric’s retreating back, Flynn and Landon felt that this person was incredibly arrogant.
His inherent brazenness made them feel that their Keating family stature was insignificant.
