CHAPTER 832: CHAPTER 832: HE IS AN UNKNOWN VARIABLE

Eleanor Sterling was surprised, "How do you know?"

"Garrett Faulkner is the least capable in the Faulkner Family, so he wants that place, Lyncroft. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t even touch it.

There’s no way he could get the position of Family Head, and Franklin Faulkner wouldn’t work with someone like him. He’s probably just fooling him.

But Franklin didn’t expect that Garrett, who lacks ambition, has different desires."

Eleanor curved her lips into a smile, "You mean Franklin thought Garrett wanted the Family Head position, but he wants something else, so the bait didn’t catch his interest?"

"Yes, you could say that." Alaric Faulkner shifted his position and continued, "However, his visit did alert me. I’ve got people watching my two uncles."

Unexpectedly, there are so many hidden dangers behind us. Clearly, they are all Faulkner Family members, but secretly, there’s so much killing intent. They have to be on guard.

Fortunately, they’ve gradually moved the lab into the Faulkner Family estate, otherwise, going out could still be dangerous.

"I’ll be extra careful during this time."

...

Inside the villa.

Franklin Faulkner leaned back on the sofa, holding a cigarette in his hand, engaged in a video call with Gregory Faulkner.

Light smoke rose slowly, blurring his features and making his face hidden in the shadows appear even more mysterious.

In the video, Gregory Faulkner looked at him with slight discontent and asked, "The last plan failed. When do you plan to make your move again?"

Gregory was unhappy about the failed assassination attempt on Eleanor Sterling and wanted him to act again.

Franklin Faulkner chuckled softly, "There’s no rush. I’ve set up a trap, waiting for her to fall in."

"A trap?" Gregory Faulkner showed interest and looked at Franklin, asking, "What kind of trap did you set?"

Franklin curled his lips into a cold smile, "Do you know that Jasper Faulkner’s woman is Hazel Langley?"

Gregory Faulkner fell silent. He naturally had no interest in Jasper’s woman and didn’t know much about her.

"Hazel Langley is a little celebrity. I’m planning to make my move on her."

Last time he used poison to threaten, Hazel and Jasper had a fight, but unexpectedly, Jasper didn’t split up with her, showing their deep affection.

Gregory Faulkner, somewhat worried, asked, "Just a little starlet — it’s normal for people like us to play with a woman or two. Are you sure it’ll work on him?"

Franklin scoffed, "Hazel Langley is Eleanor Sterling’s sister. If I make a move on her and poison her, then Eleanor will have to come to me for the antidote.

By then, she’ll have to obediently follow my orders, and I can also use it to threaten Jasper."

This two-birds-with-one-stone plan is seamless.

Gregory Faulkner gradually understood the key points and slowly curled his lips into a smile.

"Good plan! Partnering with you is truly worthwhile."

Franklin Faulkner changed the subject, "However, before that, I must take care of one person, or he might sabotage my action."

Gregory Faulkner curiously asked, "Who is it?"

"Thomas Quincy, the Young Master of the Quincy Family. He’s an expert at using poison and is now by Eleanor’s side, helping her. He’s an unknown variable."

The poisons Franklin uses all come from the Quincy Family, so he has to guard against Thomas.

Gregory Faulkner frowned, "What do you plan to do?"

"Dealing with men boils down to two points: women and power. Thomas is a man of no desires, always staying hidden within the Quincy Family. The only weak point is women."
