CHAPTER 21: CHAPTER 21: ARE YOU IMPOTENT?

Eleanor Sterling glanced at his suit pants, fumbling for a while, unable to find the hidden clasp for the belt, tugging at it for ages with no success.

Alaric Faulkner tilted his head back, watching Eleanor’s focused expression as she looked down.

A few strands of hair slipped past her cheeks, her face bright and pretty, her delicate brows furrowed in concentration.

"Damn it, how does this thing open?" Eleanor muttered.

She lowered her head slightly, leaning in a bit closer, trying to see if there was a hidden clasp.

As he watched her nearly climb onto him, the heat Alaric had just managed to suppress blazed up again.

The fire reignited, burning more fiercely, drawing the blood in his body towards a certain spot.

"Ah, found it, there’s actually a hidden clasp," Eleanor hummed.

With a snap, the belt came undone. She pulled the belt out, unfastened the buttons, and then the zipper.

Looking at the impressive tent formed beneath the thin fabric of the black suit pants, Eleanor’s hand trembled, and her face instantly flushed.

She hurriedly stood up, "You, you..."

Damn it, she hadn’t thought much of it earlier, but now she was so embarrassed she wanted to dig a hole to hide in.

Could she still back out from helping him now?

Soon, she would need to perform acupuncture on his lower body to slow down his blood flow, so the pants definitely had to come off.

Even though her medical skills were decent, they weren’t good enough to find the acupuncture points through the pants.

Alaric watched the woman standing there with a bright red face, about to spontaneously combust, and slowly curled his thin lips.

"If a man didn’t react after being drugged, he wouldn’t be a man."

Eleanor thought for a moment and realized he wasn’t wrong.

She was indeed overreacting a bit.

Alaric murmured, "If you don’t take care of this soon, I’m going to lose control."

Hearing this, Eleanor hurriedly moved forward, no longer paying attention to anything else, swiftly pulling down Alaric’s pants.

She opened the plastic packaging for the silver needles, picked up a needle, and quickly inserted it into the acupuncture point on his thigh.

Alaric took a low, sharp breath.

Eleanor worked swiftly, and before long, Alaric’s thigh was studded with silver needles, resembling a porcupine.

Eleanor twirled a silver needle between her fingers, her eyes glinting mischievously. "Don’t move, or I might stick it in the wrong place, and your future will be doomed."

She was taking revenge for his earlier threats.

Pride twinkled in Eleanor’s eyes as her smile grew more brazen.

A fleeting chill crossed Alaric’s face, and he said coldly, "You can try, but then I’ll marry you tomorrow and let you live as a widow for the rest of your life."

Eleanor’s smile faltered, and she gritted her teeth.

Damn, was this man’s heart made of needles? So petty.

She sneered, "Ha, marrying your sister-in-law, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?"

Eleanor reminded him of their relationship.

Alaric glanced at his lower body, mocking, "Do you think we still have our innocence?"

Eleanor rolled her eyes at him. Who ruined your innocence?

She was just here looking for something, and he came up, munching on her without a word, even wanting to proceed further.

"Alright, I’m helping you out, so don’t take advantage and act coy. I’m not interested in a man who’s been touched by Faye Sterling."

Her expression was full of repulsion.

Seeing Eleanor’s obvious dislike, Alaric’s face turned cold.

Ever since the banquet, she had shown no interest in him at all.

He was the man every woman in Veridia City wanted to marry, but that didn’t include Eleanor Sterling.

As Alaric calmed down, Eleanor suddenly asked, "Hey, who drugged you?"

"Faye Sterling."

Eleanor burst into laughter, "Are you unable to perform? To use something like that with Faye Sterling, really."

Alaric’s eyes darkened, "Are you sure you want to argue with me about this?"

Eleanor smirked, "Can’t I be happy seeing Faye Sterling in such a state? If you need help, you can come to me; I’ll give you a 20% discount."
