CHAPTER 126: CHAPTER 126: I WANT A PERSON

At night, Eleanor Sterling returned alone to the Sterling Family’s old residence.

Besides George Sterling, Martin Sterling and Chelsea Sterling were also present. Seeing the whole family waiting for her, a trace of mockery flashed in Eleanor Sterling’s eyes.

She sat down calmly, "Grandfather, did you call me back for something?"

Old Master Sterling pondered, "I heard there was some misunderstanding between you and Faye?"

"It’s not a misunderstanding." Eleanor Sterling sneered, "She misused my patent for her designs and even sold them publicly..."

Rosalie Ray interrupted her immediately, her voice filled with anger, "Eleanor Sterling! Faye did this because you deliberately hid your identity!"

Eleanor Sterling looked at her, half smiling, words full of irony.

"Even if I hid my identity, that is my business. Did Faye Sterling not commit those illegal acts?"

Rosalie Ray trembled with anger at her words.

"You also tampered with the process, preventing me from bailing her out."

A flicker of surprise crossed Eleanor Sterling’s eyes. When did she tamper with things?

That explains why Faye Sterling hasn’t been released; it turns out she can’t be bailed out.

Considering the Sterling Family’s status and Faye Sterling’s future Mrs. Faulkner status, it seems unlikely, could there be some hidden motives?

Old Master Sterling shot Rosalie Ray a fierce glare, signaling her to shut up. Only then did Rosalie begrudgingly fall silent.

"Eleanor, you know why I called you back. Grandfather hopes you can let Faye go. Although you’re not from the same mother, you both bear the Sterling name."

Eleanor Sterling looked at Old Master Sterling seriously and said, "Grandfather, since you’ve spoken, I won’t refuse. I can let Faye Sterling go."

Martin Sterling and Chelsea Sterling stayed for dinner, intending to watch George Sterling and Rosalie Ray quarrel with Eleanor, but they didn’t expect Eleanor to agree so readily.

This left them somewhat unsatisfied.

"Eleanor, are you really planning to let Faye go?" Chelsea couldn’t help but ask.

Eleanor Sterling curled her lips, "Even if I didn’t agree, you would find ways to make me agree today, so why make trouble for myself?"

Rosalie Ray didn’t expect Eleanor Sterling to be so agreeable; she thought it would take more effort.

Old Master Sterling, however, astutely observed Eleanor Sterling, and asked in a deep voice, "I’m afraid there are conditions you haven’t mentioned? What will it take for you to withdraw the charges against Faye?"

Eleanor Sterling raised her eyebrows, as expected of the old master to see through her intentions.

Upon hearing Old Master Sterling’s words, Rosalie Ray’s expression darkened as she glanced at Eleanor Sterling.

What else does she want?

Eleanor Sterling replied leisurely, "I want one person."

Rosalie Ray was suddenly startled and immediately said, "No way!"

Seeing Rosalie Ray’s intense reaction, Eleanor Sterling’s eyes mocked; she must be afraid that something disadvantageous might be uncovered.

Old Master Sterling frowned, "Who?"

"Aunt Yu."

Eleanor Sterling lowered her gaze and said solemnly, "I want Aunt Yu. Hand her over to me, and I’ll withdraw the complaint against Faye Sterling."

Rosalie Ray immediately retorted, "Eleanor, Aunt Yu is living well with us; I am taking good care of her.

Now that her health is not good, taking her away will only worsen her condition. It’s better for her to stay with the Sterlings."

Watching Rosalie Ray’s earnest nonsense, Eleanor Sterling’s lips curled into a sardonic smile.

She looked at Rosalie Ray, questioning, "Mrs. Sterling, Aunt Yu is someone who served my mother. Why are you keeping her?"

"You! Wasn’t it because back then you were incapable, so I watched over her for you?"

Rosalie Ray, overwhelmed with shame and anger, gritted her teeth darkly.

Aunt Yu was her leverage over Eleanor Sterling, a card to threaten her with; how could she easily give her away?

Without this old woman, how would she threaten Eleanor Sterling into submission later?
