Chapter 581: Chapter 581

After returning to Aethelgard, Eleanor Sterling went straight back to her dorm at the medical school.

Stella Hawthorne had been on her own since Eleanor Sterling left, so she was naturally very happy to hear she was back.

But then the Faulkner Family exploded with news that Faye Sterling was pregnant and that Alaric Faulkner was going to marry her; it’s said that the two have already registered.

Stella Hawthorne, full of sympathetic concern, comforted Eleanor Sterling, telling her not to overthink it, as there are plenty of good men in the world.

Eleanor Sterling had to play along with Alaric Faulkner and couldn’t reveal the truth, so she had to forcibly hold back.

She had just brushed Stella Hawthorne off when she received a call from Mrs. Jiang, and Eleanor Sterling felt a pang in her heart.

Oh no, she must have heard about Alaric Faulkner’s situation and called to ask about it.

Gingerly, she picked up the phone.

"Eleanor, I saw the news that Alaric Faulkner is going to marry another woman. What on earth is going on?"

"Uh... Grandma, this situation is a bit difficult to explain for now."

"I had a bad feeling about him before, and now, sure enough, something major has happened!"

Eleanor Sterling realized she must explain it personally to Mrs. Jiang, or else this matter might not be easily brushed aside.

Just as she finished packing and went downstairs, she ran into Faye Sterling’s roommates, Lucy Zane, Isabelle Hughes, and Tiffany Chase.

The Faulkner family’s situation had become well-known throughout Aethelgard, so they naturally knew about it too.

In their eyes now, Eleanor Sterling was the pitiful woman who had been ruthlessly abandoned.

They gave her mocking looks.

"Eleanor Sterling, I heard you got kicked to the curb by President Faulkner?"

"Oh, don’t bring up her sad matters, I heard Eleanor Sterling moved to the Faulkner Family not long ago, and now isn’t she slinking back?"

"Hahaha, how truly pathetic."

"Seeing Faye Sterling ascend to Mrs. Faulkner’s throne with a child, you must be really envious, right?"

"I wonder if Faye will give you a wedding invitation to let you see her marry President Faulkner."

They were both envious of her and eager to ingratiate themselves with Faye Sterling, so seeing Eleanor Sterling having a hard time was naturally an opportunity for them to jeer.

Eleanor Sterling curled her lips, with a semblance of a smile.

Envy? Of course, she envied them. She was just waiting to see Faye Sterling fall from her lofty perch into hell.

Let’s see if these people could still laugh then.

She pretended not to want to talk about it anymore, her expression darkening.

Unexpectedly, this demeanor only excited the few women’s delight in ridiculing her, and they laughed so hard they bent over double.

At this moment, Alaric Faulkner walked over.

Their gazes fell on him as he walked towards them, encircling Eleanor Sterling’s waist and said coldly, "I don’t know if Eleanor has an invitation, but you definitely don’t."

Eleanor Sterling looked up at Alaric Faulkner, from her angle, she could only see his handsome profile.

No, he came and defended her publicly?

These were Faye Sterling’s girlfriends; was he crazy? Wasn’t he afraid Faye Sterling would find out? They would definitely tell her.

Today, Alaric Faulkner’s outfit was sophisticated, exuding elegance and nobility. The luxurious watch on the hand holding Eleanor Sterling’s slender waist was dazzling, all asserting the charm of a mature man. The most update n0vels are published on novel·fire.net

The women saw him holding Eleanor Sterling and a flash of jealousy passed in their eyes.

"President Faulkner, you’re about to marry Faye, why are you still entangled with Eleanor Sterling?"

Alaric Faulkner cast a cold, disdainful glance at them, with contempt and arrogance, he slowly said, "None of your business."

With that, he simply led Eleanor Sterling away.
