CHAPTER 831: CHAPTER 831: GARRETT FAULKNER APPROACHES ELEANOR STERLING

Eleanor Sterling took a deep breath, steadied her emotions, and then said lightly, "What does Uncle want to discuss with me?"

Garrett Faulkner’s eyes flashed, full of shrewd calculation.

"As you know, the old man has been selecting a Family Head recently, and many have their eyes on it. The old man used to favor Alaric, but now that Alaric has run into trouble, he might bypass us and directly hand it over to the two children."

Eleanor Sterling smiled faintly, "Uncle is overthinking. My son is still young. How could he take on the vast Faulkner estate?"

Garrett Faulkner gritted his teeth, "Even if it’s not them, it might be handed over to Jasper."

This time, Eleanor didn’t refute.

"I have some crucial information in my hands now and wish to make a deal with you."

Eleanor frowned, her eyes somewhat puzzled as to why Garrett wouldn’t approach Jasper.

The reason Garrett Faulkner didn’t approach Jasper was because he knew Eleanor Sterling was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes, even Jasper listened to her commands.

Although he couldn’t understand why a woman wielded so much power, Garrett Faulkner had to yield and could only negotiate with Eleanor.

In the flow of thoughts, Eleanor said calmly, "Oh, then tell me, let’s see if your important information is worth my cooperation."

Garrett Faulkner hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to give a little bait first.

"A few days ago, a Mr. Franklin approached me, wanting to ally with me to seize the Faulkner family’s assets, and I’ve agreed."

Mr. Franklin? Franklin Faulkner?

Eleanor Sterling immediately took an interest, she already knew Franklin wouldn’t simply sit still, but had been operating behind the scenes.

However, it was surprising that Garrett wasn’t tempted and instead sought her out.

"Why didn’t Uncle work with him?"

Garrett Faulkner let out a cold laugh, and said, "He’s an outsider with mysterious origins. Helping me for no reason must mean he has ulterior motives. If I need to find someone to cooperate with, naturally it would be family."

Eleanor nodded, a hint of appreciation in her eyes. She didn’t expect Garrett to be so clear-headed.

"What does Uncle want?"

Upon hearing Eleanor’s words, Garrett knew she had agreed to cooperate with him.

He leaned back, and said leisurely, "I don’t want anything major. Regardless of whether the old man leaves the Family Head position to you or Jasper, I want you to promise me control over all The Faulkner Corporation enterprises in Lyncroft."

The place Lyncroft is the most vital part of The Faulkner Corporation, with limitless future prospects, Garrett played a clever hand.

Eleanor, for a moment, found herself unable to make a decision.

She quietly lifted her eyes to glance at Alaric Faulkner, after all, the future Family Head is here, she needed to ask his opinion.

Alaric gave a slight nod, agreeing.

Only then did Eleanor say, "I can agree to your request."

Garrett Faulkner’s eyes flashed with delight, "Great, it turns out Little Eleanor is indeed a generous person. It’s most pleasant to cooperate with someone like you. I’ll pretend to cooperate with Mr. Franklin and keep an eye on him."

"Thanks for your hard work, Uncle. Remember to report any news in the future."

Garrett Faulkner stood up, "Then I’ll take my leave first."

As he passed by Alaric Faulkner, he discreetly sized him up.

He thought, although this bodyguard looked quite ordinary, his physique was quite good, and his demeanor didn’t seem like a bodyguard. No wonder Eleanor took a liking to him.

Does this mean he holds Eleanor’s secret in his hands?

Garrett Faulkner’s lips curled into an almost imperceptible smile as he stepped out.

Once the door closed, Eleanor Sterling asked, "What do you think?"

Alaric Faulkner walked over and sat beside her.

"Franklin Faulkner approached Garrett for cooperation, I’m afraid he has also reached out to the other uncles."
