CHAPTER 162: CHAPTER 162: ESTELLE STERLING CALLS HIM DADDY

Leon Langley wore a broad smile, looking ingratiating, and said, "President Faulkner, why are you here?"

Sylvia Dempsey looked at Alaric Faulkner in shock.

Pres... President Faulkner? Could it be Alaric Faulkner?

Why is he here, and what’s his relationship with Eleanor Sterling? Their relationship doesn’t seem simple at all.

Alaric Faulkner walked over, sat down in a chair, and coldly stared at Leon Langley with his dark eyes.

"I’m the one who asked you to come over for a cooperation talk."

Leon Langley was dumbfounded, was it Alaric Faulkner who called him over? Not Eleanor Sterling?

At this moment, he couldn’t bother with Eleanor Sterling; the most important person now was Alaric Faulkner, and being able to cooperate with The Faulkner Group was something many enterprises couldn’t wish for.

He was only at a level to negotiate with The Faulkner Group’s managers. Now that Alaric Faulkner himself sought him out, it felt like striking a massive jackpot, an unbelievably fortunate turn of events.

Leon Langley quickly turned around to close the door, cutting off all the curious glances, sat down familiarly, and smiled ingratiatingly.

"President Faulkner, it’s my honor to cooperate with The Faulkner Group. Shall we discuss the potential projects for collaboration?"

Alaric Faulkner’s expression was indifferent as he asked, "You unilaterally canceled the collaboration with Celeste Jewels?"

"Well..." Leon Langley glanced at Eleanor Sterling, "Yes, I canceled it."

It was due to Faye Sterling exerting pressure as Mrs. Faulkner; he did it to please The Faulkner Group.

But now, seeing Alaric Faulkner and Eleanor Sterling...

Leon Langley was full of doubts, uncertain for a moment, sensing vaguely that the relationship between Faye Sterling and Alaric Faulkner might not be as close as he had imagined.

Instead, Eleanor Sterling, could she be Alaric Faulkner’s new favorite?

It was Sylvia Dempsey who couldn’t hold back first, asking, "President Faulkner, what’s the relationship between you and Eleanor Sterling?"

Estelle Sterling’s eyes darted around as she lifted her food-smeared little face and called out to Alaric Faulkner, "Daddy."

Eleanor Sterling nearly choked on her tea, turning her head to glare at him.

You little brat! Being naughty again? Falling back into the habit of calling everyone ’Dad’?

Leon Langley: "!!!"

Sylvia Dempsey: "???"

Alaric Faulkner turned to glance at Estelle Sterling, raised his eyebrows, and amusement flickered in his eyes.

He accepted this son.

Under their shocked gaze, Estelle Sterling said to Alaric Faulkner, "Daddy, that man just now wanted to keep Mommy as his mistress."

He grinned wickedly and continued, "Oh, and this woman also called me a bastard."

Both of their faces went pale with fright, especially Leon Langley, who almost kneeled.

Men having a few women outside is not odd; he had sponsored quite a few young models.

But he never knew Eleanor Sterling would be associated with Alaric Faulkner!

If he had known Eleanor Sterling had Alaric Faulkner behind her, he wouldn’t have dared to have such thoughts, he’d rather curry favor!

No wonder Eleanor Sterling remained unmoved by his words; with someone like Alaric Faulkner backing her, how could she possibly agree to them?

Sylvia Dempsey’s face went even paler, earlier in the mall, when Alaric Faulkner’s assistant defended Eleanor Sterling, she already felt something’s amiss.

But she was only angry; now, knowing the relationship between Alaric Faulkner and Eleanor Sterling, she realized she had probably offended someone.

Leon Langley turned his head angrily, glaring at Sylvia Dempsey, "Fool! How could you say... say such things about President Faulkner’s son!"

Sylvia Dempsey shook her head, full of regret, "I... I didn’t know."

Leon Langley scolded, "Hurry up and apologize to Miss Sterling and young Master Faulkner!"

Sylvia Dempsey’s arrogance immediately vanished, she said, "Miss Sterling, I’m sorry, it was my mistake, I didn’t know you were... I know I was wrong."

"Yes, Miss Sterling, it was us failing to recognize who you were, please forgive us!" Leon Langley also said with a smile.

"And now about our cooperation?" Eleanor Sterling casually asked.

"Of course we’ll continue! Because I unilaterally breached the contract, I’ll compensate for all losses and reduce profits by fifty percent to re-sign the contract!"

Before Eleanor Sterling could say anything, Leon Langley had already rambled on, generously offering concessions.

Eleanor Sterling glanced at Alaric Faulkner.

Here she was running around and suffering insults, while Alaric Faulkner just sat there resolved everything?

There’s no denying people comparing themselves can drive one crazy.
