CHAPTER 115: CHAPTER 115: IS ELEANOR STERLING ABOUT TO BE ARRESTED?

When Eleanor Sterling entered the banquet hall, a flurry of gossip immediately erupted.

"Eleanor Sterling is so shameless, right? Using someone else’s patented technology openly."

"Exactly, she was ruined seven years ago, and now she comes back to Veridia City stirring trouble, it’s disgusting."

"She even wants to use that work as a coming-of-age gift for Miss Sheffield. Luckily, it was discovered in time, otherwise, Miss Sheffield would be laughed at."

"Just now she used holographic projection, made it look impressive, but it’s actually nothing special."

"I’ve heard that the design draft, aside from the special inlay technique, there’s nothing remarkable, not as good as Heart of Blue."

...

Only then did Eleanor Sterling notice that besides Anne Adler, the Queen was also there.

The two were surrounded by people standing not far away.

Seeing Eleanor Sterling being mocked by everyone made Faye Sterling exceedingly happy. Just then, her phone rang and she took a quick look.

It was the officials coming to arrest, notifying her that they’d arrived.

Perfect timing, they finally arrived, and the timing couldn’t have been better.

She saw Eleanor Sterling finally willing to show herself, her grin sinister and her gaze cold.

Soon she would thoroughly enjoy watching Eleanor Sterling’s pathetic state being taken away.

A servant from The Sheffield Family hurriedly walked in, whispering into James Sheffield’s ear, "Master, bad news! Officials are outside, saying they are here to arrest Eleanor Sterling."

Shannon Sheffield heard it and shouted, "What! Someone is coming to arrest Eleanor Sterling?"

She deliberately yelled out, just to let everyone know Eleanor Sterling was going to be arrested.

Micah Moss had just finished negotiating cooperation matters with others and was now searching for Eleanor Sterling everywhere.

Seeing her attracting all these troubles upon appearing, his face immediately filled with anxiety, and he promptly stood beside Eleanor Sterling to protect her.

He said, "Regarding the patent infringement issue, we accept the normal litigation process, but suddenly someone shows up to arrest, could there be something fishy?"

Such a civil lawsuit would not warrant an arrest.

Unless it was done intentionally.

Shannon Sheffield sneered and ridiculed, "What could be fishy? That design draft was seen by everyone, even if you cover for Eleanor Sterling it won’t change the facts."

Faye Sterling also stepped forward, softly speaking, "Yes, Eleanor, why don’t you just go back and cooperate with the investigation.

Don’t be afraid, I’ll plead with the master for leniency to reduce your prison time."

Micah Moss, hearing this, looked anxious and whispered into Eleanor’s ear, "Eleanor, don’t worry, the situation isn’t right, you go with them first, I’ll find a way to bail you out."

"No need." Eleanor Sterling seemed unconcerned.

Micah Moss’s expression turned slightly irritated, speaking urgently, "What do you mean no need? This is clearly targeted at you today.

If you resist, who knows what harm may come, better to comply for now, I won’t stand by idly."

Eleanor Sterling glanced at Micah Moss, seeing his genuine concern, couldn’t help but sigh softly.

"Micah, I’m sorry."

Micah Moss looked puzzled, "What do you mean sorry? Why are you apologizing to me?"

Of course, it’s due to hiding various identities, causing his needless worry, though now isn’t the time to explain.

Eleanor Sterling replied helplessly, "I’ll explain later, trust me, just watch quietly."

Micah Moss hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

From afar, Alaric Faulkner watched Eleanor Sterling close to Micah Moss, whispering intimately, the darkness in his eyes deepening, thin lips pursed in displeasure.

Fine, Eleanor Sterling was treating his words like air.

Shannon Sheffield looked at Eleanor Sterling, rudely said, "Eleanor Sterling, go out with the officials. Otherwise, it will be an ugly scene when they come in for the arrest."
