CHAPTER 17: CHAPTER 17: I CAN HELP YOU

Faye Sterling thought she would be the star today, but instead she was humiliated by that bitch Eleanor Sterling.

Her gift was even revealed to be fake, she’ll definitely not let Eleanor Sterling off easily!

Thinking of her plan later, Faye Sterling had to swallow this grievance again; she couldn’t leave yet.

Alaric Faulkner’s gaze involuntarily fell on Eleanor Sterling, seeing how she calmly and effortlessly handled the situation earlier.

She has a confident and flamboyant aura that’s very attractive.

Inside the second-floor room of The Sterling Family home.

Faye Sterling was sobbing in Rosalie Ray’s arms, crying so hard she could barely catch her breath, choking intermittently, "Mom, it’s all Eleanor Sterling’s fault, making me lose face like that."

"Enough, your father didn’t really blame you, let’s not mention it again. The days are still long, since Eleanor Sterling dared to return to Veridia City, we have plenty of means to ensure she can’t rise again."

Faye Sterling sobbed, "That’s right, I absolutely want to ruin her! But the most important thing now is Alaric, he’s too indifferent to me.

Caleb Faulkner, that bastard, is so hard to control, I must have another child to secure my position completely."

Thinking about this, Faye Sterling gritted her teeth in hatred, she couldn’t believe Alaric Faulkner wouldn’t touch her.

Rosalie Ray’s eyes flashed with a gleam, "Haven’t you already prepared to consummate with him today?"

"Yes, I’ve arranged everything."

Faye Sterling felt excited at the thought, once she successfully slept with Alaric Faulkner, would she need to fear instability in her status?

Rosalie Ray sneered coldly, "Good, you had better tie Alaric down soon, so we can get rid of that bastard with no worries."

Faye Sterling laughed sinisterly, "Rest assured, this time I’ve prepared something colorless and tasteless but very potent; as long as Alaric drinks it, he’ll definitely join me for a rain of passion."

Downstairs, the banquet continued in an orderly manner.

The small mishap with the birthday gift quickly passed, the scene lively and harmonious, with many holding wine glasses and approaching Alaric to curry favor.

He responded coldly and distantly, his eyes occasionally scanning the room.

Eleanor Sterling’s figure was already gone, possibly leaving early or finding a place to rest.

While lost in thought, Alaric suddenly felt an abnormal fire surge from his lower abdomen, a sensation identical to seven years ago when he lost control and touched Faye Sterling!

It was that incident that led to Faye Sterling having Caleb Faulkner.

Alaric’s eyes instantly turned dark, the corner of his eyes and brows filled with frost, his overall demeanor becoming somber.

Those who were flattering him earlier saw his sudden change in expression and thought they had said something wrong.

"President Faulkner..."

Alaric deeply inhaled, "Excuse me."

He stepped upstairs.

As Alaric searched for a room, a fragrant aroma wafted by, with Faye Sterling blocking his path.

"Alaric..."

Alaric’s muscles tensed, his eyes dark with a brewing storm.

To make herself more alluring, Faye Sterling had also consumed some of that substance.

Her eyes glistened watching Alaric, cheeks flushed, breathing rapid, lips parted like a tempting peach.

"Move." Alaric’s voice was hoarse to the extreme, inexplicably filled with temptation.

Seeing Alaric like this, Faye Sterling knew her plan was half successful, a smile of triumph curled at her lips.

Wave after wave of heat surged, Alaric’s facial muscles tight, on close inspection, his muscles seemed to twitch as he exerted intense restraint.

"Alaric, are you okay?"

Faye Sterling asked with concern.

He turned wanting to leave, but Faye swiftly stepped forward, grabbing Alaric’s arm.

"Alaric, aren’t you uncomfortable? I can help you."

She rubbed her delicate body against his, hand moving to his firm muscles, unbuttoning his shirt.

Next moment, Faye Sterling’s wrist was twisted back, and Alaric opened one of the rooms, forcefully pulling her inside.
