CHAPTER 857: CHAPTER 857: SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THE NASH FAMILY

Franklin Faulkner’s residence.

He had just finished a phone call with Gregory Faulkner and was sitting on the sofa, lost in thought, not knowing what he was pondering.

At this moment, his trusted assistant Elias Sterling walked in.

"Mr. Faulkner, I’ve just received news that over at Faulkner Family, Jasper Faulkner has already recalled all his forces, seemingly preparing for the Family Head meeting."

Franklin Faulkner sneered, "It seems he knows it won’t be peaceful when the time comes. At least he’s wary of a few individuals in the family. Too bad he doesn’t know we’re watching him from the shadows."

Elias agreed, "When the time comes, we’ll be the cicada that stalks the mantis from behind, capturing everyone in the Faulkner Family in one sweep."

After speaking, he asked, "Should we deploy all our forces to the Faulkner Family? We’re sure to win this fight."

Upon hearing this, Franklin Faulkner showed a hint of hesitation on his face.

If he sends everyone out and something unexpected happens, he won’t have any capability.

But Alaric Faulkner is already dead, and now only Jasper Faulkner and Eleanor Sterling are left, they can’t turn the tide. Now is indeed not the time to preserve strength.

Moreover, with those foolish ones from the Faulkner Family aiding him, he seemed to have nothing to worry about.

"Alright, arrange for everyone to head over."

Elias nodded, "Understood."

Suddenly Franklin Faulkner called him again, "Wait."

"Mr. Faulkner, is there anything else?" Elias stopped in his tracks, looking at Franklin Faulkner with surprise.

"You’ve been doing well recently, Christine Faulkner rewarded you, after all, being one of the top ten debutantes, she’s not an ordinary woman."

Upon hearing this, Elias’s eyes shone with a gleam of light, and he immediately said, "Thank you, Mr. Faulkner."

He briskly walked out.

Franklin Faulkner’s eyes showed a hint of mockery.

Gideon Faulkner wants to use his daughter to bind him, but he miscalculated. He now gives her to his assistant, when the time comes there won’t be any threat.

...

At this moment, in the hospital, Hazel Langley had already woken up.

She was leaning against the headboard, sipping millet porridge.

Eleanor Sterling and Alaric Faulkner stood by, watching Jasper Faulkner thoughtfully feed her.

Eleanor Sterling breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that with the tender situation between the two, she shouldn’t be disturbing them here.

Thus, she tugged at Alaric Faulkner, signaling him to leave first, and Alaric nodded.

The two silently walked out together.

Outside the corridor, the two stopped.

Alaric Faulkner asked in confusion, "Why did Nancy Nash suddenly leave?"

When he suddenly received this news, he was somewhat surprised, not knowing why Nancy Nash hurriedly left Aethelgard, as if there was something urgent.

"It seems something happened at The Nash Family, I don’t know the details."

Eleanor Sterling didn’t know that it was Thomas Quincy canceling the engagement with The Nash Family, prompting Nancy Nash to rush back to handle it.

However, this wasn’t her concern; she had already expressed her thanks and personally escorted Nancy Nash to the airport.

Eleanor Sterling lowered her eyes and said, "The Family Head meeting is getting closer, I’m feeling a little uneasy, nothing will happen, right?"

Alaric Faulkner stepped forward and hugged her, "With me here, nothing will happen. Don’t worry too much, just take care of your health."

Upon hearing this, Eleanor Sterling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She leaned against Alaric Faulkner’s chest, smiling, "Alright, I’ll leave everything to you then."

With a tender atmosphere between the two, the mood between Hazel Langley and Jasper Faulkner in the hospital room eased considerably as well.

Hazel Langley looked at Jasper Faulkner and said softly, "Have you been worried these past few days? I’m alright now."
