CHAPTER 860: CHAPTER 860: PRESIDENT FAULKNER’S DEEP SCHEMES

The day before the Faulkner Family head meeting.

Tomorrow is the day the Faulkner Family changes leadership. The Faulkner estate is bustling, with many family members returning, including top-level shareholders who have arrived at the Faulkner family home.

The Faulkner estate is on high alert, guarded like a fortress. Everyone entering and exiting must undergo thorough searches to prevent any weapons from being brought in. Only once their identity has been verified without any issues will they be allowed through.

At Old Master Faulkner’s villa, layers of bodyguards have been set up to prevent anyone from getting too close.

After all, during such a power transition, significant problems can easily arise, and family members turning against each other is a possibility. These measures are just precautions.

Although they already know who the mastermind is and are on high alert guarding against them, it’s always wise to be careful.

Eleanor Sterling and Alaric Faulkner are inside the villa, watching the massive surveillance feed on the wall.

From here, they can see everything happening at the entrance and every person entering. Other screens show every corner of the Faulkner estate.

Watching the constant flow of people, Eleanor Sterling can’t help but ask curiously, "I wonder where Franklin Faulkner will sneak in."

Alaric Faulkner smiles and says, "Now that Garrett Faulkner is with us, the ones helping him could only be Gregory Faulkner or Garrett Faulkner."

That’s true; besides them, there’s no one else.

Eleanor still feels a bit uneasy. Tomorrow is their crucial battle of success or failure; nothing can go wrong.

This time, Franklin Faulkner will undoubtedly use all his resources to throw them into chaos. The Faulkner estate may look quiet, but underneath, waves are surging.

Yet, she can’t help but admire Franklin Faulkner for being able to exploit the power-grabbing mindset of a few Faulkner members, manipulating them to do his bidding.

If only those two individuals had Garrett Faulkner’s mindset, they wouldn’t have fallen for it.

Alaric Faulkner sneers, "I found out that Gideon Faulkner handed his daughter to Franklin Faulkner, thinking that would make Franklin support him fully."

Eleanor Sterling is shocked by this revelation.

She didn’t expect that such a thing had happened.

Gideon doesn’t know Franklin’s identity, so it might not seem like a big deal, but Franklin should know. Would he really have accepted?

Noticing Eleanor’s surprise, Alaric Faulkner’s smile grows more sinister, "But Franklin Faulkner gave her to his assistant."

Uh... Eleanor’s expression becomes indescribable.

This twist caught her off guard, so Gideon Faulkner’s plan to secure Franklin’s allegiance through his daughter failed?

Her instincts tell Eleanor that Alaric Faulkner wouldn’t remain idle after learning this news; he certainly would exploit it.

She looks at him and asks, "What did you do?"

A calculating glint appears in Alaric Faulkner’s eyes, "I told both Gregory and Gideon Faulkner that Franklin plans to elevate someone else."

"Pfft." Eleanor can’t help but laugh.

She laughs so hard in his arms she nearly can’t catch her breath.

"You didn’t mention it sooner or later, but chose to reveal it today at such a critical moment. Are you hoping they’ll turn against each other before the meeting? President Faulkner, what a deep thinker."

Alaric Faulkner chuckles, "I’ll give you a chance to rephrase."

Eleanor laughs and flattery adds, "Alright, President Faulkner is so clever, calculating everything perfectly."

Listening to Eleanor’s praise, Alaric Faulkner smiles contentedly and plants a light kiss on her lips, chuckling, "We’ll just sit back and enjoy the show."
