CHAPTER 22: CHAPTER 22: A GRAND GIFT FOR FAYE STERLING

"Hey, let me ask you, did Faye Sterling get drugged too?"

Considering how protective Faye Sterling was of Alaric Faulkner earlier, it’s hard to believe she would set him up and then let him run around.

Alaric Faulkner: "Yes."

Eleanor Sterling’s lips curled into a calculating smile, "Alright, you’ll need to wait a bit. I have some things to attend to, so I’ll step out first. Once you feel better, just leave by yourself."

After speaking, Eleanor Sterling clapped her hands and stood up.

She glanced down at the dress she had been wearing, which Alaric Faulkner had already torn.

Eleanor Sterling turned to Faye Sterling’s wardrobe, found a dress that still had its tag, and went to the bathroom to change.

Alaric Faulkner watched her departing figure, his eyes darkening.

The effect of Eleanor Sterling’s acupuncture was impressive; the burning sensation in his body gradually subsided, more effectively than when he soaked in water earlier.

Just the thought of her soft lips and their sweet taste made Alaric Faulkner’s eyes turn as dark as a bottomless lake.

He pulled out the silver needles from his legs and made a phone call to his assistant Elijah Hayes.

"In ten minutes, bring a clean set of clothes to the Sterling Family’s residence."

After leaving the room, Eleanor Sterling searched through each one, until she finally found Faye Sterling, whose face was flushed red and who was already incoherent, in a guest room.

Watching her twist around on the bed, Eleanor Sterling clicked her tongue, slowly curling her lips.

She intended to give Faye Sterling a grand gift.

At this moment, Eleanor Sterling’s phone vibrated. She took it out to see a character displayed: ’White’.

Eleanor Sterling left the room, shut the door, and swiped the screen to answer the call, "What’s up?"

Micah Moss’s gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, "Eleanor, how are things on your end? No unexpected issues, right?"

Eleanor Sterling leaned against the wall, speaking nonchalantly: "Don’t worry, I’ve never had a slip-up."

As for any unexpected issues...

Hmm, getting groped by that filthy Alaric Faulkner was too embarrassing; she didn’t want to tell anyone about it.

"Heh heh, I forgot how capable you are; there’s no need to worry at all." Micah Moss chuckled lightly.

"Alright, no need to worry about me; take care of your own matters." Eleanor Sterling replied perfunctorily, as she was still busy dealing with Faye Sterling, too occupied to chat leisurely here.

"Wait." Micah Moss called out to her, "I’ll be in Veridia City in three days, and by then, I can help you."

"Okay, text me ahead of time and I’ll pick you up at the airport."

Micah Moss said, "I’m already impatient to meet Little Star."

Eleanor Sterling snorted, "Just make sure he doesn’t end up playing you; the kid is quite a handful."

"He won’t; Little Star is just a bit mischievous." Micah Moss laughed softly, good-naturedly.

"Alright, I can’t talk to you anymore. If there’s anything, we’ll discuss it once you’re in Veridia City."

"Hmm, one last thing," Micah Moss said.

"Go ahead."

"When do we release Faye Sterling’s assistant?"

Eleanor Sterling laughed wickedly, "Release her the day you arrive, find a place and let her go."

After finishing, Eleanor Sterling hung up the phone.

Naturally, Faye Sterling wouldn’t send a fake birthday gift; she was the one pulling strings behind the scenes, and Faye’s assistant, Lily, wouldn’t dare run off with fifty million bucks.

Lily had indeed photographed the Medicine King Vine, but once she left the auction, she was kidnapped by Eleanor Sterling’s people, and the counterfeit item was sent by Eleanor to Faye Sterling.

Seven years ago, Faye Sterling didn’t just ruin her life, but also ended her daughter’s. Faye Sterling and Rosalie Ray had done countless heinous things.

Eleanor Sterling suspected her mother’s death was connected to them.

Her mother’s death was suspicious, and not long after she died, Rosalie Ray joined the Sterling Family, giving birth to Faye Sterling in less than nine months.

She always felt her mother’s death was not straightforward; beyond revenge, uncovering her mother’s cause of death was more important.

But she had no direct evidence to prove Rosalie Ray was responsible for her mother’s death.

One day she would find the evidence and make them pay for their blood debt!
