CHAPTER 26: CHAPTER 26: IT MUST BE A MISUNDERSTANDING

Someone immediately looked at Eleanor Sterling eagerly, unable to wait to pry.

"Eldest Miss Sterling, is what you said true?"

George Sterling’s blood pressure soared, "Eleanor Sterling, shut up! That was so many years ago, what’s strange about Faye having had a boyfriend!"

Isn’t she causing enough chaos already?

Faye Sterling indeed had a boyfriend before, but she never dated Shane Faulkner.

Eleanor Sterling blinked and took a sharp breath, "No, I was wrong, don’t mind it."

That was clearly not just a slip of the tongue; it was obvious she realized she’d misspoken, so she hastily corrected herself.

Instantly, everyone saw the truth.

Faye Sterling had dated Shane Faulkner in the past, and when Alaric Faulkner was busy with work, the two of them hooked up again.

And who knows how long they’ve been involved.

Looking at Faye Sterling’s eager demeanor, it didn’t seem like it was her first time.

Whispers of gossip arose, and everyone’s gaze filled with sympathy as they looked at Alaric Faulkner, feeling as if he was being cuckolded.

Who knows if he’ll dump Faye Sterling, if so, wouldn’t they have a chance?

Inside, those rich young ladies were secretly thrilled, having no sympathy for Faye Sterling, feeling she deserved it instead.

Alaric Faulkner stood quietly in place, his face calm and indifferent, with eyes like a bottomless abyss, as if he were uninvolved.

However, Elijah Hayes, standing behind him, couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eye.

The dignified President Faulkner, unexpectedly cuckolded by someone else.

If this gets out, people would literally die laughing.

Though when he arrived just now, President Faulkner wasn’t dressed, he’s not sure what was going on.

He doesn’t dare ask.

George Sterling, feeling disaster looming, hurriedly stepped forward to ease the situation, "Alaric, this is surely a misunderstanding, don’t be angry."

Alaric Faulkner spoke with a hint of hostility, sarcastically, "Misunderstanding? Everyone saw it, Faye Sterling lay under another man voluntarily."

"This..." George Sterling broke out in a cold sweat.

No matter what, Faye Sterling being involved with another man is a fact, even if nothing really happened, it’s still humiliating Alaric Faulkner.

It’s normal for him to be angry; no man would tolerate his woman getting entangled with another.

George Sterling steeled himself and said, "Alaric, Faye is your woman, if you don’t step in, how will she face others in the future?"

He had no choice but to use this relationship to pressure Alaric Faulkner to help Faye Sterling suppress this incident.

Alaric Faulkner’s gaze turned cold, and he said evenly, "So you’re asking me to admit this?"

"No, it’s just..." George Sterling was frantic; if Alaric Faulkner didn’t take action, this affair would soon spread throughout Veridia City.

He couldn’t let Faye Sterling be ruined.

They were relying on Faye Sterling to cling to the Faulkner Family.

But knowing Alaric Faulkner, a man whose words could shake Veridia City, was he really going to recognize such a thing?

Since it was revealed that the man was Shane Faulkner, reporters at the scene took the opportunity to snap photos. If they were released, Faye Sterling would be the laughingstock of everyone.

But the Sterling Family didn’t have the power to ensure the matter wasn’t exposed; only the omnipotent Faulkner Family could.

However, Alaric Faulkner seemed indifferent about it all, was he really planning to let the matter be exposed and then dump Faye Sterling?

If so, even if Faye Sterling had a son, she could never walk into the doors of the Faulkner Family again.

The more George Sterling thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
