CHAPTER 821: CHAPTER 821: FINALLY UNCOVERING SOMETHING STRANGE

A rich aroma of chicken soup wafted through the kitchen.

Mrs. Faulkner walked in and asked the maid, "Is the soup for the young mistress ready?"

"Madam, it’s ready."

"Serve the soup and follow me upstairs to deliver it to Eleanor."

While preparing the soup, the maid said, "Madam, I think the young mistress and that bodyguard seem to be very close, and it’s not just him. There was another person who came the other day and stayed in the room with the young mistress for a long time."

Mrs. Faulkner’s eyebrows instantly furrowed at these words.

Alaric Faulkner is already dead; she’s not against Eleanor Sterling finding someone new, but isn’t this a bit too fast?

"Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong? How could Eleanor get close to someone else so soon after Alaric has gone?"

Hearing Mrs. Faulkner’s displeasure, the maid lowered her head and whispered, "I... I don’t know."

Although the maid dared not say more, Mrs. Faulkner was already suspicious.

She thought carefully, although that bodyguard had been arranged a guest room, he often discussed matters with Eleanor Sterling in her room, staying for an entire day.

This inevitably raises suspicions.

Perhaps Eleanor Sterling really has something going on with that bodyguard?

Mrs. Faulkner’s eyes turned, she said, "You carry the soup, and we’ll test them to find out."

The two of them headed upstairs together.

...

Inside the room.

Eleanor Sterling and Alaric Faulkner were sitting together, discussing the second blood transfusion.

After the first one, Eleanor Sterling’s body had reduced a lot of toxins, Elder Sawyer and others said two to three more times could fully weaken the poison, and Eleanor would be safe.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, Eleanor Sterling and Alaric Faulkner exchanged a glance, Alaric stood up to open the door.

Standing at the door, Mrs. Faulkner saw that it was that "deceased" bodyguard opening the door, her face immediately darkened.

She gave Alaric Faulkner a rather disgruntled look, then walked in with the maid, "Eleanor, are you busy?"

Having been glared at for no reason by his own mother, Alaric Faulkner was somewhat confused, was it because he opened the door too slowly?

He turned and walked over, standing to one side.

Mrs. Faulkner had the maid hand the soup to Eleanor Sterling, then smiled and said, "Eleanor, this is a special nourishing soup I made for you, drink it while it’s hot."

Eleanor Sterling was a bit helpless, "Okay."

Not wanting to refuse Mrs. Faulkner’s kindness, Eleanor Sterling accepted the soup and slowly drank it.

At this time, Mrs. Faulkner glanced back at Alaric Faulkner, and with a meaningful tone, "Eleanor, you don’t need to talk to this bodyguard locked in a room, right? It doesn’t look good to others."

Eleanor Sterling was momentarily stunned, she glanced at Alaric Faulkner as if to ask: Has our relationship caused suspicion?

Alaric Faulkner slightly lowered his gaze, signaling Eleanor to muddle through it.

So, Eleanor Sterling awkwardly smiled, softly saying, "Mm, that was my mistake, I’ll definitely be more careful in the future."

Only then did Mrs. Faulkner’s expression lighten up a bit.

After Eleanor Sterling finished a bowl of soup, Mrs. Faulkner had the maid take the bowl, and she turned to leave. As she passed Alaric Faulkner, she said testily, "Since the talk is finished, why are you still standing here in a daze?"

Alaric Faulkner was taken aback, he could only nod silently, following Mrs. Faulkner out.

Outside the door, Mrs. Faulkner’s reproachful voice could be heard.

"Remember your place, I’ve seen many like you, trying to use their looks to seduce their employers. As long as I’m here, don’t think you can pull that off!"

"..."

Eleanor Sterling froze for two seconds, and after realizing Mrs. Faulkner’s words, she covered her belly and burst into laughter.

She didn’t expect Alaric Faulkner to be so misunderstood.
