CHAPTER 104: CHAPTER 104: SICK WITH REGRET

Inside the restroom.

Eleanor Sterling took out her phone and sent a message to Anne Adler, asking her to come over now. After getting a reply, Eleanor slowly curled her lips into a smile.

Her matters with Faye Sterling were far from over, she needed to play with her properly.

Eleanor thought for a moment, then opened WeChat, found the completely black profile picture, edited a message, and sent it.

"Are you at the Sheffield Family banquet? Which one is you?"

She had been paying attention to the people in the venue just now, but couldn’t figure out which one was the mysterious golden benefactor.

She was really curious about who this person hiding behind the scenes was.

Meanwhile.

James Sheffield and Adeline Sheffield, with Shannon Sheffield, were trying to cozy up to Alaric Faulkner.

Shannon Sheffield had already taken off the necklace. She didn’t want to wear the necklace that brought her embarrassment, designed by Faye Sterling. She also changed into a new outfit and refreshed her makeup.

Her gaze carried a hint of girlish shyness as she secretly glanced at Alaric Faulkner, her cheeks slightly flushed.

This man was too outstanding, but it was a pity that he was beside Faye Sterling—only she was worthy enough to match him.

Adeline Sheffield spoke politely, "President Faulkner."

Without waiting for Alaric Faulkner to respond, Adeline continued, "The necklace designed by Miss Sterling is beautiful. I noticed that everyone liked it earlier, truly worthy of being a master’s descendant."

Although there was quite a disturbance, Adeline had no choice but to start from here and compliment Faye Sterling to foster their relationship.

"Hmm." Alaric Faulkner responded with a cold glance, showing no concern about Faye Sterling’s matters.

Seeing Alaric’s indifference, Adeline couldn’t help but feel a flash of doubt.

Wasn’t Faye Sterling his woman?

Why did he show no reaction towards Faye Sterling?

Seeing the atmosphere becoming awkward, James Sheffield quickly spoke with enthusiasm, "President Faulkner, this time we collaborated with your wife, which can be considered an indirect collaboration with The Faulkner Group. We hope to formally work together in the future."

Alaric Faulkner squinted slightly, his dark eyes looking at James Sheffield, mocking, "I would like to collaborate with The Sheffield Family, but unfortunately, you show no sincerity."

These words left James and Adeline stunned.

What does this mean? When did Alaric Faulkner approach The Sheffield Family?

How come they didn’t know?

Only Shannon Sheffield knew what was going on; she had already guessed it.

She looked at Alaric Faulkner and asked, "President Faulkner, was the later investment from you? Did you designate Celeste Jewels to design for me?"

Shannon’s face was full of regret.

She knew it was Alaric Faulkner; he certainly wanted her to appear more beautifully, so he had Eleanor Sterling design the jewelry for her.

Eleanor Sterling’s design was obviously a bit more stunning.

Moreover, it was just fought over by everyone. If she had worn Eleanor Sterling’s jewelry, wouldn’t she have been the one in the spotlight? And she could have saved Alaric Faulkner some face.

It was all her father’s fault for choosing Faye Sterling.

Alaric Faulkner curled his lips into a sneer, speaking leisurely, "The Sheffield Family has already made their choice."

These words left James Sheffield completely bewildered, and it took him a long time to realize what was happening.

He looked at Alaric Faulkner excitedly and said, "President Faulkner! That mysterious investor is you? I... I didn’t know it was you!"

How could James Sheffield have guessed that Alaric Faulkner, who hid his identity and designated Celeste Jewels, was the one?

Clearly, Faye Sterling was Mrs. Faulkner, but Alaric Faulkner designated another woman. What was this all about?

Did he miss the chance to partner with Alaric Faulkner for nothing?

James Sheffield now regretted it immensely.
