Chapter 623: Chapter 623

Eleanor Sterling quietly looked around.

Can such words of tigers and wolves be said outside? If someone hears them, will she still be able to live with herself?

She didn’t expect that with just a glance, she saw several laboratory staff inside having a meal together.

Eleanor Sterling was about to say whether to go and greet them, but then heard their voices drift over.

"Hey, it seems Manager Justin recently owes a lot of money; I heard he even sold his car."

"Really? Isn’t his wife quite wealthy?"

"The money he owes was lost through gambling, even if his wife is rich, she wouldn’t give it to him."

"Gambling truly ruins people!"

Listening to these conversations, Eleanor’s eyes slowly squinted; Justin Young owed a huge sum?

People who owe money usually might take desperate risks, doing inhumane things.

Justin Young was involved in the entire process of her medication; it would be a piece of cake for him to tamper with it.

If there’s an issue with the medication, the consequences would be devastating, and Clara Thornton’s reputation would be ruined.

The Medical Alliance has intricate connections with Giselle Keating; she cannot underestimate this woman.

What if Giselle Keating secretly takes action against her one day?

After all, at The Keating Family previously, she could be framed, so anything is possible now.

Alaric Faulkner noticed Eleanor Sterling suddenly freezing, looking thoughtful, not knowing what was on her mind.

He looked at her and asked, "What are you daydreaming about?"

Eleanor snapped back to reality, shaking her head, "Nothing, just thinking how you need a good beating."

It’s because of him that she ended up at odds with Giselle Keating, this spoiled heiress, and she always has to be on guard for her attacks.

Alaric Faulkner smirked, "Be clear, how am I in need of a beating?"

His gaze fell on a few people at the nearby table and suddenly recalled seeing them in the lab.

They are all men, having spent days in close contact with Eleanor Sterling, he had been coming over daily to keep an eye.

Alaric Faulkner’s gaze suddenly turned cold and fierce.

Eleanor finished venting, then saw Alaric glaring in a menacing way at those nearby.

She snorted lightly, "Hey, what are you doing?"

Alaric Faulkner pulled Eleanor Sterling up and said, "Not eating here anymore."

Eleanor Sterling was pulled away by Alaric Faulkner.

After they left, the people at the table gathered together and whispered, "Isn’t that Alaric Faulkner? Why is he with Eleanor Sterling? Isn’t he getting married to Faye Sterling in a couple of days?"

"Tsk, isn’t it normal for rich men to have several women?"

"Exactly, if we were rich, we’d also go find a few, just like Justin Young, keeping the family flag steady while flying colorful flags outside."

Eleanor Sterling was shoved into the car by Alaric Faulkner.

She glared at him and harrumphed discontentedly, "Hey, why did you drag me away?"

"Jealous." Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⸺fire.net

Alaric Faulkner got in and fastened his seatbelt.

What was that? Jealousy?

Eleanor Sterling was totally confused; why was Alaric Faulkner jealous?

His long fingers tapped on the steering wheel, "The lab is full of men; you’ve been mingling with them every day recently."

Eleanor couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

The experiment suits are like astronaut gear, completely covering, and those people barely see her, alright!

Yet Alaric Faulkner even gets jealous over such matters.

Eleanor suddenly found him somewhat adorable and broke into a cheerful smile.

"Funny, isn’t it?" Alaric gave her a dangerous look.

Eleanor immediately stopped smiling and began to sweetly coax the man.

"The experiment is over, and I won’t need to go there anymore, so you don’t have to worry about me mingling with them."

Alaric Faulkner snorted, his expression visibly eased quite a bit.

Eleanor sighed with relief at seeing this.

Alaric Faulkner is pretty easy to pacify; a few words and he’s fine.

Wait! Eleanor suddenly realized something wasn’t right.

Isn’t it usually the woman who gets jealous and the man who pacifies her?

Why does it seem reversed with her and Alaric Faulkner, with her pacifying him?
