Chapter 645: Chapter 645

The weekend arrived quickly.

Today, the Faulkner Family was all together, as everyone was called back by the Old Master Faulkner for a meal.

The other three sons of the Old Master Faulkner also brought their families, including grandchildren, back.

Eleanor Sterling and Caleb Faulkner were upstairs, watching the people coming in one after another.

Caleb Faulkner quietly introduced them to Eleanor Sterling.

"This is Grand Uncle..."

"The one in the blue suit is Second Uncle, we beat up his grandson last time, remember?"

Eleanor watched and nodded.

She ruffled her hair in frustration, "There are too many people, I can’t remember them all."

Caleb patted her shoulder, "You just need to remember one thing."

"None of these people are good; they’re all backstabbers, wishing to get rid of me so they can have the inheritance all to themselves."

Caleb chuckled, "But now that you’re here, there’s another person to split the inheritance, making their target to get rid of the two of us."

Eleanor’s face stiffened, feeling like she stepped into a mess.

Oh my! Being a rich kid isn’t easy at all!

Caleb was somewhat worried, he asked, "Will Mom Eleanor get eaten alive by these people?"

Upon hearing this, Eleanor laughed confidently, "Don’t worry, Sister Eleanor is not someone who gets knocked down easily." The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the noᴠelfire.net

In the living room, everyone sat down, the family chatting and laughing, creating quite a lively atmosphere.

On the surface, it looked harmonious and loving. But in reality...

"Dad, the matter with Alaric has affected our Faulkner Family too much, recently the shares of my company have dropped, I think he should compensate me for my losses."

"Exactly, how could something like a woman showing up with a child and acting under a false name happen? It’s utterly laughable!"

"People who don’t know might think we’re all fools in the Faulkner Family, getting played for fools."

"Old Third’s grandson was brought back, could he also not be a Faulkner bloodline?"

"I think it’s necessary to do a paternity test, to avoid some random people from messing with our Faulkner bloodline."

Old Master Faulkner’s expression wasn’t very pleasant. Caleb Faulkner had been raised for so many years.

He didn’t want to dwell too much; even if it’s not, then so be it.

"Is Uncle questioning my son’s bloodline?"

A deep, cold voice sounded at the door, making everyone turn their heads.

Alaric Faulkner and Jasper Faulkner walked in slowly from the door.

Alaric was in a finely tailored suit, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, exuding mature allure from every inch.

"Alaric, you’re here." Old Master Faulkner gestured.

Gregory Faulkner snorted, "Our worries are not without reason. If Caleb isn’t your son, and yet wants to share in the inheritance, it’s unfair."

The Faulkner family estate was vast, and due to sending a few sons away, their descendants became distanced.

There was not much familial affection among them, only the focus on the Faulkner fortune.

The other branches had their fathers to protect them, while Alaric only had his brother, putting him at somewhat of a disadvantage.

However, Alaric was outstanding, so much so that the Old Master considered him the future heir, causing extreme imbalance in the others’ hearts.

But with the Old Master still healthy, everyone was biding their time, maintaining a superficial peace.

This time, with Alaric involved in the incident with Faye Sterling, the others were naturally gleeful, all waiting for him to slip up.

Old Master Faulkner sat on the sofa, realizing through the incident with Faye that some things shouldn’t be taken at face value.

He had also seen Giselle Keating fall from grace before.

Now he no longer wanted to intervene in Alaric’s affairs, especially since Alaric mentioned he had already registered his marriage with Eleanor Sterling, putting the Old Master in a state of semi-acceptance of Eleanor Sterling.
