CHAPTER 151: CHAPTER 151: A COUPLE OF NEEDLES FOR YOU

From the back, Ann clenched her teeth, wanting to come out and defend her boss, but Eleanor Sterling stopped her with a glance.

Completely unflustered, she asked, "Really? Being your girlfriend will restore our cooperation?"

Thinking Eleanor Sterling had agreed, Leon Langley eagerly said, "Of course, you can have as much collaboration as you want in the future."

He thought he had Eleanor Sterling wrapped around his finger now. Once she was in his bed, whether to help or not would be entirely up to him.

Eleanor Sterling’s eyes remained cool as she continued, "You want me to trade my body?"

Seeing Eleanor Sterling’s straightforwardness, Leon Langley no longer hid his intentions and laughed, "Since Miss Sterling is so direct, let me be frank.

If you agree, we can start dating immediately. There’s a love hotel near the company..."

After speaking, he stood up from the sofa and walked towards Eleanor Sterling, seemingly trying to be inappropriate.

During the brief moment he had been sitting, Leon Langley had already been struggling to contain his impatience.

However, before he could touch Eleanor Sterling, he felt a sharp pain in his hand, and he recoiled as if electrocuted.

"What... what did you do to me?"

Eleanor Sterling sneered, "Seemed like you were getting a little hot-headed, so I gave you a couple of acupuncture needles."

"You! How dare you lay a hand on me!" Leon Langley was furious and felt his hand swelling with a burning pain.

Eleanor Sterling stood up, "Since Mr. Langley has no intention of cooperation, we have nothing further to discuss."

After dropping this cold statement, she ignored Leon Langley’s murderous glare and got up to leave.

Clutching his hand in anger, Leon Langley cursed furiously, "Bitch, you’ll come crawling to me eventually, and I’ll make you grovel at my feet!"

Once outside, Ann’s face was filled with resentment, "What a despicable person, just trying to take advantage of us."

Eleanor Sterling sneered, "It’s alright, I’ve already dealt with him."

Leon was struck by her silver needle; his hand wouldn’t swell down for ten days or half a month, and even if checked, nothing would come up.

"Boss, what should we do now? Still go to the other suppliers?"

Ann looked worried; they were at a standstill, with production completely halted.

Over time, the buzz Eleanor created at the Sheffield Family banquet would fade.

By then, Eleanor’s name as a top jewelry designer would be of no use.

Eleanor glanced at the time, "No need, the others probably have the same attitude as here. It’s time for school to end; I’ll go pick up my son first."

She had made up her mind to order supplies from abroad, though it was expensive and time-consuming, it would maintain the reputation of Celeste Jewels.

...

After parting with Ann, Eleanor Sterling took a taxi to pick up Estelle Sterling.

Today, Eleanor wasn’t in the mood to cook, so she planned to eat at a nearby mall with Estelle Sterling.

She planned to buy him a couple of outfits as well, since he had been growing quickly and his clothes had become quite short.

"Hey Sister Eleanor, why don’t we have barbecue?" Estelle Sterling suggested.

"Alright, let’s have barbecue."

The two headed straight for the barbecue restaurant.

Noticing the long line, Eleanor Sterling decided to come back later to eat.

She took Estelle Sterling to buy clothes at the children’s clothing section in the mall, intending to indulge in some impulse shopping to alleviate the disgust caused by Leon Langley today.

"Pick whatever you like, I’ll pay; I could even buy the whole mall," Eleanor Sterling declared generously, half-jokingly.

Estelle Sterling muttered to himself: You’ve already taken Hades’ black card, where are you getting the money to buy out the mall?
