CHAPTER 771: CHAPTER 771: FRANKLIN FAULKNER ESCAPES

Thomas Quincy narrowed his eyes as he looked at Franklin Faulkner and said with a smile, "So it was you. I was wondering who it could be. So, you’re the one who stole the Scarlet Prelude of the Quincy Family?"

Franklin Faulkner gritted his teeth, his expression extremely ugly.

He started to believe Eleanor Sterling’s words now, with Thomas Quincy, the head of the Quincy Family and a master of poison, involved.

It’s possible they really developed the antidote, and now he has completely lost his leverage over Alaric Faulkner.

Eleanor Sterling looked at Franklin Faulkner and let out a cold laugh, "You stirred up so much trouble, caused me so much suffering, I won’t be satisfied until I pay you back properly."

Upon hearing Eleanor Sterling, Franklin Faulkner did not show a hint of panic; instead, he began to smile faintly.

"Eldest Miss Sterling, I’m going to teach you a lesson today..."

Just as he finished speaking, the venue was suddenly plunged into darkness with a loud bang.

The crowd was in a panic.

At the moment darkness fell, Alaric grabbed Eleanor Sterling, taking advantage of the last bit of light.

He held onto Eleanor Sterling, pulling her tightly into his arms. As long as Eleanor was safe, nothing else mattered.

"Quick, find out what’s going on!"

Someone gave the order, possibly Ronan Keating.

After a frantic commotion, the lights at the banquet came back on, and all the guests were still in their original places, but Franklin Faulkner was nowhere to be seen.

Eleanor Sterling looked at the now-empty spot, biting her teeth in frustration. Damn it, he got away!

Franklin Faulkner had escaped, but the uproar caused by Eleanor Sterling earlier had not subsided.

That paternity test was deeply ingrained in everyone’s mind.

Tristan Keating stepped forward, standing in front of Eleanor Sterling, and asked, "What’s the matter with the paternity test?"

Eleanor Sterling looked up at the middle-aged man before her. So he was her father, after all her searching, she finally found him.

She slowly curved her lips into a smile and said, "As you can see, Giselle Keating is not the daughter of the Keating Family."

Eleanor’s voice was not loud, but everyone heard it. The scene instantly erupted, and everyone was shocked, whispering to each other.

They thought the Keating Family must have angered the gods this year.

Otherwise, how could so many things go wrong one after another?

Not only did the wedding of the fifth son of the Keating Family go awry, but now the youngest daughter’s wedding had a major mishap as well.

However, the most shocking thing was still what Eleanor Sterling had exposed—Giselle Keating was not the daughter of the Keating Family? What on earth was going on?

Tristan Keating’s face darkened, and he addressed the guests at the scene, "Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize for the cancellation of the Keating Family’s wedding due to some unexpected incidents, and for any inconvenience caused."

Giselle Keating fell to the ground, her whole body sinking into weakness, feeling as if her soul had been extracted.

Everything was gone; all the things she had longed for, vanished in an instant.

She was just one step away from having it all.

Eleanor Sterling’s words to Tristan Keating were actually meant to see his reaction.

And she saw it, Tristan Keating still chose to protect Giselle Keating, even though she was the one with his blood and genes.

She laughed self-deprecatingly.

Who knows what she was expecting, thinking that revealing the truth would bring her a family.

But at least, she ruined the wedding of Alaric Faulkner and Giselle Keating; this trip was not in vain.

Eleanor felt a pain in her chest, a rush of blood and qi. Her legs gave way, and she completely fainted.

"Eleanor." Alaric caught her as she fell.

Ronan Keating also rushed forward to check on her condition.

Thomas Quincy stepped forward with a cold expression, quickly picking up Eleanor’s wrist and feeling her pulse.

Eleanor’s eyes were barely open as Thomas Quincy immediately said, "Eleanor Sterling, if you don’t want to die, don’t get too emotional, or the balance of the poison will be disrupted and it will spread."

As soon as he finished speaking, Eleanor completely passed out.
