CHAPTER 688: CHAPTER 688: TURNING AGAINST EACH OTHER AND BECOMING ENEMIES

Rosalie Ray no longer feigned innocence. She pointed at George Sterling and cursed angrily, "How dare you give me to someone else?"

"How dare I? Because you lied to me all these years! You pinned another man’s bastard on me, and who knows how many kids you’ve had..."

George Sterling felt suffocated just thinking about it.

A woman as outstanding as Jeanette Jennings—he’d be willing to raise her and another man’s child, but Rosalie Ray had pursued him willingly back then.

She’s hidden so many things; how could he ever come to terms with it?

George Sterling’s face grew darker and darker...

He looked at Rosalie Ray with increasing hatred, as if he wanted to kill her.

All these years, he’s been toyed with by Rosalie Ray; he truly was too foolish.

"Hahaha, George Sterling, don’t you think you’re being hypocritical? You’re willing to raise Jeanette Jennings and someone else’s bastard, but not mine?"

"I chose you precisely because you’re foolish enough to raise a daughter for me."

"I want you to raise someone else’s child; you’re not worthy of having my child..."

Angered, Rosalie Ray started speaking recklessly, provoking George Sterling until he was almost bursting with rage.

"You vicious woman! I once thought our first child died, and I was heartbroken for so long.

Turns out it was someone else’s child! You dared to pin it on me, I’ll beat you to death!"

George Sterling could no longer hold back and lunged at Rosalie Ray.

"Ah... you dare hit me!" Rosalie Ray screamed in fury, biting George Sterling indiscriminately.

"Bitch, let go of your mouth..." George Sterling cursed as he retaliated heavily.

Listening to George Sterling’s words, Eleanor Sterling clenched her fists.

The first child died?

Could that have been Jeanette Jennings’s child?

And could she really be Rosalie Ray’s biological child, swapped by Rosalie?

This terrifying assumption left Eleanor Sterling engulfed in a sense of despondence.

Before coming, she entertained the thought that her parents were someone else, but now, suddenly learning the truth, she realized she had a mother like Rosalie Ray.

She couldn’t describe how she felt.

Just disappointment, no longer wanting to investigate further; perhaps it should end here.

Alaric Faulkner watched the two fight, his expression a bit grave.

It seemed today would be a wasted trip.

In this current situation, there probably wouldn’t be any answers.

Eleanor Sterling gently tugged at Alaric Faulkner, signaling him to leave and not to get involved in Rosalie Ray and George Sterling’s matters.

Alaric Faulkner stood up and left with Eleanor Sterling.

After leaving the Sterling Family house, Eleanor Sterling sighed and said, "Alaric, let’s leave it at that; we don’t need to investigate further."

She’s already learned enough.

Sometimes, there’s no need to pursue certain things to the end; otherwise, you end up hurting only yourself.

"Eleanor, don’t be upset." Alaric Faulkner wrapped his arm around Eleanor Sterling’s shoulder, "Didn’t we already say? You still have me, and Little Star, and Little Yi—others don’t matter."

Eleanor Sterling nodded and smiled faintly, "Right, I still have you. Others don’t matter."

Alaric Faulkner smiled, "Since we’re back in Veridia City, why not go for a stroll?"

He wanted to distract Eleanor Sterling, so she wouldn’t dwell on it and could put all these unpleasant things behind her.

Eleanor Sterling relaxed a bit and agreed, "Alright."

The two got into the car and drove away together.
