CHAPTER 172: CHAPTER 172: TIME TO COOL OFF

The next day, in the president’s office of The Faulkner Group.

Elijah Hayes pushed open the door and entered, "President Faulkner, last night, Mrs. Faulkner went to the Sterling Family’s old mansion and sternly warned Eleanor Sterling to stay away from you. The Eldest Miss Sterling and Faye Sterling made a bet."

He briefly explained the course of events.

Alaric Faulkner raised an eyebrow and asked, "What was the bet?"

He didn’t expect his mother to be so angry as to personally warn Eleanor Sterling; it was likely Faye Sterling’s instigation.

Alaric understood Mrs. Faulkner’s temperament, which indeed could be quite troublesome.

"The Eldest Miss Sterling and Faye Sterling bet whether they can deliver within a stipulated time, and if one loses, they have to hand over their company to the other."

After Elijah finished speaking, he glanced at Alaric Faulkner.

It seemed now that Alaric Faulkner was siding with Eleanor Sterling. Who knows if he might suddenly change his mind and decide to help his mother’s son.

If he really helped Faye Sterling, then this bet would become interesting.

"Elijah." Alaric Faulkner spoke.

"Yes!" Elijah immediately smiled and stepped forward, ready to follow orders.

"Keep an eye on those suppliers, and give them a nudge if necessary. Don’t let them cause any trouble."

Elijah slowly realized that before, Alaric Faulkner had casually helped Eleanor Sterling in the mall, and now he was told to watch over.

This entirely favored Eleanor Sterling, fearing she might suffer a loss.

"Alright, I’ll get right on it."

Elijah walked a few steps, suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned around.

"Oh, and I also found out that after Eldest Miss Sterling returned from the Sterling Family last night, she moved houses immediately, probably not wanting to get involved with you anymore."

At these words, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped several degrees.

Elijah quietly muttered in his heart: After such a warning from the Empress Dowager, any normal person would certainly stay away.

He knew it wasn’t Eleanor Sterling clinging to Alaric Faulkner, but rather Alaric Faulkner holding onto Eleanor Sterling persistently.

So, Eleanor Sterling moving house overnight was not surprising at all.

Therefore, Eleanor Sterling being warned by Mrs. Faulkner, one must say, was indeed somewhat unjust.

Upon hearing this, Alaric Faulkner frowned, "Where did she move to?"

"This...we haven’t discovered it yet."

"Hurry up and find it!"

"Yes!"

Elijah hurried out of the office to avoid getting caught in Alaric Faulkner’s anger.

Alaric Faulkner’s face was cold and stern. If Eleanor Sterling didn’t want anyone to find out her address, it would indeed be hard for him to find it.

That’s why Elijah couldn’t find it.

Thinking about chasing the hacker Hades for many years and always being played around, it showed how cunning Eleanor Sterling was.

It seemed he could only find his little helper.

Alaric Faulkner opened his computer and sent information to Estelle Sterling’s account.

[Did you all move? Where did you move to? Send the address; name your price.]

In the new apartment, Eleanor Sterling was browsing documents on Estelle Sterling’s computer.

Unexpectedly, she saw the message sent by Alaric Faulkner.

Her eyes narrowed dangerously.

She always knew Estelle Sterling had been blackmailing Alaric Faulkner for money, and she had always turned a blind eye, but now it was different.

That damned man, Alaric Faulkner probably wanted to find an excuse to come and take advantage of her. Ha, she would never let him have his way.

She typed on the keyboard and then sent a set of coordinates to Alaric Faulkner.

Seeing that Estelle Sterling had indeed replied, Alaric Faulkner was in a good mood; his son was quite reliable.

At this time, Elijah came back in.

"President Faulkner, I did my best, but it seems the Eldest Miss Sterling deliberately hid her address this time. We were only able to find out she moved out of The Elysian Apartments."

Alaric Faulkner curved his lips into a smile and said, "I’ve already found it."

Elijah looked surprised, the president found it himself?

Alaric Faulkner stood up, grabbed his coat, "Prepare, I’m going over now."

Half an hour later, Alaric Faulkner arrived at the location, his expression icy.

Looking at the flourishing red-light district in front of them, Elijah’s forehead broke into a cold sweat.

"President...President Faulkner, it’s unlikely that the Eldest Miss Sterling moved here, right?"

This was Veridia City’s red-light district!

At this moment, Alaric Faulkner’s phone chimed with a ’ding’. He took it out to have a look.

[President Faulkner, your ’flare’ is too strong, you need to cool down a bit. Mention my name for a 30% discount, no need to thank me.]

Eleanor Sterling’s sly smile seemed to appear before him.

Alaric Faulkner’s face turned black; Estelle Sterling’s account had been hijacked, and he was fooled by Eleanor Sterling!
