Chapter 661: Chapter 661

Eleanor Sterling struggled to get up, giving Alaric Faulkner a somewhat reproachful look, and said discontentedly, "Have you no shame? You’re setting a bad example for the child."

Alaric Faulkner chuckled lightly, "I’m teaching them by example how to pamper their wives when they grow up."

Eleanor Sterling was so exasperated by his twisted logic that she was left speechless.

Alaric Faulkner lifted his deep-set eyes slightly to look at Eleanor Sterling and asked, "How did the identification with the Hawthorne Family go?"

At the mention of this, Eleanor Sterling fell silent.

She hadn’t dared to tell the Jennings Family, but she didn’t need to hide it from Alaric Faulkner.

"Warren Hawthorne and I are not father and daughter."

Seeing Eleanor Sterling’s despondent expression, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world, Alaric Faulkner felt a sharp pang of heartache. He reached out and pulled her into his embrace with strength.

"It’s okay, if you’re not, then you’re not. As long as you’re still my wife, that’s all that matters."

Originally, Eleanor Sterling was feeling a bit upset, but his words instantly alleviated the gloom in her heart.

She reached out to gently caress his cheek, murmuring, "Alaric Faulkner, you are truly wonderful."

No matter what happened, he was always there to support her, allowing her to do anything without restraint. Alaric Faulkner was her solid backing.

Alaric Faulkner curved his lips into a smile, "Even if you can’t find your father, it’s not a big deal. I grew up without a father too, we’re kindred spirits, it’s quite fair."

Eleanor Sterling couldn’t help but shake her head and smile.

She knew something about Alaric Faulkner’s father, but not very specific details.

Her attention was diverted, and she curiously asked, "What happened with your father?"

Alaric Faulkner frowned, tightening his strong arms before speaking in a low, hoarse voice.

"Back when the Faulkner Family wasn’t as wealthy as it is now, nor held as much power, my grandfather wanted to expand and strengthen the family, so he sent his sons off to various places."

Alaric Faulkner paused for a moment, gave a self-deprecating smile, and continued, "At the time, my father had a childhood sweetheart girlfriend, and they were forced apart.

Then my father, in order to escape all this burden, had to marry my mother in Veridia City.

He didn’t love my mother; he married her to quickly expand his influence and meet my grandfather’s requirements.

So he could leave as soon as possible to meet the girl he liked. But in the end, he never saw her..."

Alaric Faulkner looked intently at Eleanor Sterling, then lowered his voice and said, "Eleanor, my father is a taboo that my grandparents in the Faulkner Family are unwilling to mention.

I want to take over the Faulkner Family not for power, but to have control in the future, so I don’t end up like him."

Upon hearing this, Eleanor Sterling nodded. She proactively reached out to embrace his waist, resting her cheek against his chest.

"Don’t be sad, the kids and I will always support you."

Alaric Faulkner clasped her hand, speaking with a meaningful tone, "Still, I’m not happy. I want you to comfort me in other ways."

Eleanor Sterling was a bit speechless; how was he still thinking about that?

Unfortunately, Eleanor Sterling had already fallen into the hunter’s trap with no escape, only to be devoured bit by bit.

The incident at Alaric Faulkner’s wedding banquet monopolized the headlines for a long time, being a hot topic of conversation.

However, the matter of Eleanor Sterling not being George Sterling’s biological daughter received little mention because Alaric Faulkner suppressed the news.

He intended to wait until the matter was confirmed before announcing it, ensuring it wouldn’t affect Eleanor Sterling.

But it was different for the people at the wedding banquet.

K Country, the Keating Family.

After being forcibly returned to K Country, Giselle Keating was in a state of resentment.

Every day, she thought about how to exact revenge on Eleanor Sterling to pay back the humiliation she suffered.

Looking at the news coming from Aethelgard, Giselle Keating’s eyes were filled with hatred and jealousy.

So it turns out the child’s mother was Eleanor Sterling.

Both Faye Sterling and she were duped by Eleanor Sterling. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel(ꜰ)ire.net

Eleanor Sterling was truly scheming; she set up Faye Sterling, causing her to lose face and almost end up in jail.

Everything she did was enough to send Eleanor Sterling to hell a hundred times over.

The mystery of her lineage? Giselle Keating curved her lips into a cold smile.

Perhaps she finally knew where to start in dealing with Eleanor Sterling.
