CHAPTER 158: CHAPTER 158: MY OWN CHILD

The two of them didn’t expect that Eleanor Sterling was actually a hidden big shot, and that she would clear out their shop in a single day.

Their sales for the month were instantly filled, and they were extremely happy.

Seeing the sales associate packing up the clothes, Sylvia Dempsey’s face turned extremely sour and she immediately yelled, "Hey, those clothes are mine!"

The mall manager glanced at her and asked, "Did you pay?"

The sales associate only then remembered that Sylvia Dempsey had been picking and choosing, demanding discounts, and hadn’t paid at all.

The two shook their heads and said, "No."

Upon hearing the answer, the mall manager angrily chastised, "Then why are you still standing there? Pack everything up!"

Sylvia Dempsey didn’t expect these people to ignore her. She stood there with an ugly expression, but now no one paid her any mind.

Earlier, Sylvia Dempsey was the center of attention, but now she was left out in the cold, forming a stark contrast.

Finally, Sylvia Dempsey couldn’t take it anymore and stormed off.

After leaving, she immediately picked up her phone to call her husband.

"Hey, honey, I was bullied at the mall."

...

After Elijah Hayes finished his business, he left.

Eleanor Sterling was helplessly forced to receive a bunch of clothes, frowning with a displeased look.

With so many clothes, Estelle Sterling probably wouldn’t need to shop for a year.

Seeing Eleanor’s displeasure, Estelle quickly laughed and said, "Sister Eleanor, didn’t Alaric give you a hand just now? What are you still unhappy about?"

Eleanor glanced at him and asked through gritted teeth, "How did that card end up with you?"

Seeing Eleanor like this, it was clear she wanted to settle accounts.

He quickly laughed to change the subject, "Oh, I’m so hungry, I’m going to starve. Let’s go eat, there must be seats available now."

After saying that, he immediately left Eleanor behind and ran toward the barbecue restaurant.

Watching Estelle’s retreating figure, Eleanor gritted her teeth in frustration, but there was nothing she could do. She could only murmur to herself: my own doing.

...

Leon Langley got jabbed by Eleanor Sterling, and his hand immediately swelled up. He was disgraced and wasn’t in a good mood.

He tried to vent his anger with his girlfriend, but to his surprise, he received a call from Sylvia Dempsey while he was busy.

"Hey, honey, I was bullied at the mall."

Leon replied impatiently, "Who bullied you? Just use money to crush them. I’m very busy right now."

"That’s not going to work, the person behind them is too powerful to provoke."

Sylvia Dempsey just wanted some comfort from Leon. She knew that with Leon, there was no way to go against Alaric Faulkner.

Even Leon had to curry favor with Alaric Faulkner.

"If you can’t provoke them, then why are you telling me!"

Sylvia huffed, "I’m upset, come keep me company! Our son’s clothes weren’t bought either; come along, and we’ll look together."

The Dempsey Family was well-off, and over the years, Leon had made quite a bit of business thanks to his father-in-law; he couldn’t refuse Sylvia Dempsey.

Although unwilling in his heart, Leon would still have to rely on the Dempsey Family in the future, so he could only say, "Got it, I’m in a meeting. I’ll come by later."

After speaking, Leon hung up the phone.

...

At the barbecue restaurant, there was indeed no need to queue anymore, and Eleanor Sterling and Estelle Sterling were led to a private room by the waiter.

As soon as she opened the door, she immediately saw Alaric Faulkner sitting there calmly.

Eleanor silently sighed.

She knew it!

Since Elijah appeared, how could Alaric possibly hide? Sure enough, he was waiting for her here.
