CHAPTER 666: CHAPTER 666: WHEN WILL THE WEDDING BE HELD

At this moment, the people in the second branch, as if enjoying the spectacle, spoke sarcastically.

"Sister-in-law, I didn’t expect your family to be so wealthy, but mother would not approve of such extravagance.

Spending so much money on things, some might call it generosity, but others might say it’s foolishness and wastefulness.

The value of a gift is in the heart, not in its price. I think something like Miss Sterling’s, bought practically at cost, is perfect.

It avoids extravagance and waste, while the quality is just as good."

After speaking, she looked at Eleanor Sterling and asked, "Miss Sterling, I see your design is very beautiful. Which famous designer’s work is this?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Faulkner’s face was full of pride.

"Don’t you know? Eleanor is the jewelry designer Yuna!" She looked at Eleanor Sterling, her expression gentle, and asked, "Eleanor, was this necklace specially designed for grandma?"

Eleanor Sterling nodded lightly and replied, "Yes, I hope grandma likes it."

Mrs. Faulkner promptly smiled, "Like it? Grandma loves your gift the most."

All the other gifts were instantly disregarded by Mrs. Faulkner, her favoritism for Eleanor Sterling was evident.

Beside them, Juliet Sterling, Felicity Crawford, and Zachary Faulkner’s expressions became even more unsightly.

Juliet Sterling, having lost face over the birthday gift, naturally wanted to regain some dignity.

Her gaze swept over Eleanor Sterling a few times.

Suddenly she knew how to suppress her.

Juliet Sterling said, "Miss Sterling, when is your wedding with Alaric going to be held? The child is already born, don’t let it become like your sister Faye Sterling’s situation.

You two sisters really are something; one can’t marry and the other comes along to take her place. The Faulkner Family can’t afford to lose face a second time."

These words were extremely sharp, not only bringing up the previous incident at Alaric’s wedding feast.

But also indirectly and subtly revealing the relationship between Eleanor Sterling and Faye Sterling.

Eleanor Sterling was long used to these cynical remarks.

She didn’t show much expression, "Alaric will make arrangements for this matter."

Juliet Sterling sneered, gloatingly, "Could it be that Alaric has no plans to hold a wedding?"

Here Mrs. Faulkner kept introducing Eleanor Sterling to everyone, yet Alaric had no intention of marrying her; that would indeed be a joke.

As Juliet Sterling was feeling smug, a deep and pleasant voice suddenly echoed.

"Aunt, no need to worry, I just discussed the wedding date with grandpa and Eleanor; we will be holding the wedding after the New Year."

Everyone turned their heads to look and saw Alaric Faulkner in a suit, walking over like a descending deity.

He stood solidly by Eleanor Sterling’s side, his gaze cold as he looked at Juliet Sterling.

Juliet Sterling’s expression froze upon hearing this.

The wedding date was set?

Upon hearing Alaric Faulkner’s words, Eleanor Sterling was also astonished. So earlier in the study, Alaric and Old Master Faulkner were secretly discussing their marriage?

She felt both surprised and delighted, and happy at Alaric’s timely appearance to defend her, her heart blossoming with sweetness.

Moments later, Eleanor Sterling turned to Juliet Sterling and said, "Instead of worrying about my affairs, Aunt, why not focus on preparing your own son’s wedding?"

Her gaze fell on Felicity Crawford, "I heard that Zachary once had a childhood sweetheart girlfriend, whom you forced apart.

As for agreeing to Miss Crawford, it’s because of her family’s connections with the Jennings Family, but whether the Jennings Family will help you or not is another story."

Juliet Sterling’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this.
