CHAPTER 177: CHAPTER 177: PRESIDENT WARREN’S PATERNITY TEST

The next day, early morning.

In the Faulkner family’s dining room, Alaric Faulkner was having breakfast. It was rare for him to come home for a day.

Caleb Faulkner came downstairs looking listless, with two small dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn’t rested well last night.

"Good morning, Uncle Alaric."

Alaric Faulkner: "???"

He looked up at his son, a look of confusion in his eyes.

Did he hear wrong?

Did this brat just call him... uncle?

Caleb flinched immediately after speaking, realizing he almost gave himself away.

After learning the secret about his birth last night, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and his mind was foggy, leading to him speaking without thinking.

Caleb flashed a grin and said, "Haha, I... I was learning Korean last night. ’Abeji’ means dad!"

Alaric Faulkner furrowed his brows.

Caleb’s intelligence far surpassed others his age; he remembered that Caleb had already mastered several languages. Why would he be learning such simple Korean?

Could Caleb’s performance be slipping recently?

As the Crown Prince of a prominent family, he must excel from a young age.

Alaric spoke lightly, "I’ll arrange for several language tutors for you tomorrow; you’ll relearn all five languages."

Caleb: "..."

Damn, why did he have to open his big mouth?

Being occupied by tutors would be boring and limiting, preventing him from going to play with Estelle Sterling.

After a moment of dejection, Caleb suddenly remembered his mission and perked up, saying, "Daddy, can you pick me up after school today?"

Alaric gazed at Caleb for a moment, feeling that his son was acting strangely today.

Could he have been influenced by Faye Sterling?

Seeing Alaric’s suspicious look, Caleb quickly added, "All my classmates have someone picking them up, even little Estelle has Eleanor’s mommy picking her up. As my dad, shouldn’t you pick me up too?"

Upon hearing Eleanor Sterling’s name, something shifted in Alaric’s heart, and he nodded in agreement, "Alright."

With things settled, Caleb secretly smiled.

This was the first step in his grand plan to matchmake Alaric and Eleanor.

Creating a chance encounter.

...

In the Sterling mansion.

Rosalie Ray looked at Faye Sterling and asked, "How’s that little slut doing? No problems, right?"

Faye Sterling sneered, "Of course not, I’ve been keeping an eye on her. In a month, during the launch event, Eleanor’s company will be mine."

"Faye, that’s not enough; we need to crush Eleanor Sterling completely."

Faye looked at her, surprised, "Mom, do you have a plan?"

Rosalie’s face twisted into a sinister grin as she replied coldly, "Didn’t you leak dirt on Eleanor’s little bastard child before, tying it to President Warren? But all that dirt got taken down without a trace..."

Remembering this issue, Faye gritted her teeth in anger.

"Mom, I’ve realized Alaric must’ve done it. Who else in Veridia City could have such power?"

Rosalie gritted her teeth, "So we need to stoke the fire further. Look at this!"

Faye took the phone handed to her, and upon closely inspecting it, her eyes widened in shock.

"Mom, this... this paternity test?"

Rosalie’s smile was chilling, "I had someone fake it. It’s a paternity test between President Warren and Eleanor’s little bastard.

On the day of the press conference, with the press gathered, find a way to expose this. With public opinion, she’ll have no face left. I refuse to believe Eleanor Sterling can survive this time!"

Back in the day, Rosalie Ray was something formidable, easily dealing with other women using tactics like these.

Now she intended to use them on Eleanor Sterling.

Faye’s heart leaped with joy. This time, Eleanor Sterling wouldn’t just lose everything; she’d face everyone’s contempt.

Once she’s in a miserable state, Faye would have someone take good care of her!
