Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 115: Clearly She Was the One Forcing Herself on Master Ford
Eleanor Valerius was vomiting heavily, her eyes were red, a result of physiological tears from choking.
After a moment, she rinsed her mouth and walked out, her face a bit pale.
"Have you been crying? Are you feeling unwell?"
Suddenly hearing a gentle voice, Eleanor was startled and looked up, only to see Damian Lowell standing opposite her.
Meeting at the restroom door was quite a nuanced embarrassment.
"Lawyer Lowell, thank you for your concern, I’m fine."
She had eaten seafood at the restaurant which made her vomit, how could she say that?
However, Damian saw the concealment in her words, frowned and pursued, "You don’t look fine, Miss Valerius, aren’t we considered friends? I’m also a lawyer, if you encounter any problems, you can tell me..."
"I don’t need a lawyer, and thank you for your concern as a friend."
Eleanor helplessly, instinctively guarded against men.
Moreover, she had asked and confirmed that Damian wasn’t the brother lost from the orphanage, denying such an illusion of familiarity.
"Miss Valerius, are you here to socialize out of obligation?"
Damian didn’t impose on Eleanor’s attitude, just worried about her being oppressed by Sebastian Ford.
"Certainly not."
Eleanor heard what he wanted to ask and answered seriously, "I am Mr. Ford’s assistant, attending dinner engagements is part of my job. Professionally and personally, Mr. Ford would not restrict my freedom. I maintain distance from you because I’m not single."
Do all lawyers have such a sense of justice?
Where did he see that she was being forced by Sebastian Ford?
She admitted, it was she who forced Master Ford into being a lover!
"You’re... still going to marry Jenson Lancaster?"
Damian was shocked, he also knew the news about Jenson’s downfall.
The Valerius Family and the Lancaster Family have not annulled the engagement.
Eleanor replied evasively, "The wedding has been postponed for now, when it’s time to hold the ceremony, I’ll invite Lawyer Lowell."
After speaking, she smiled and left from there.
Damian followed her, watching her back but restrained himself, ultimately not calling out to her again.
Just then, Jasper Sinclair came over, seeing Damian’s expression, asked him, "Is Miss Valerius the girl you’ve been looking for?"
"We had an agreement when we were young, it might be because we’ve been apart for too long, she doesn’t recognize me now."
Damian didn’t deny it, his voice was low and tinged with bitterness.
"You could tell her directly, what are your concerns? Because of her relationship with Sebastian Ford?"
Jasper guessed the reason from Damian’s silent reaction.
"Clearly, the two are uncle and niece, Sebastian Ford’s identity is undoubtedly the superior one, coveting Miss Valerius’s beauty, indeed she couldn’t possibly resist him."
No one could fathom the true relationship dynamics between Eleanor Valerius and Sebastian Ford.
"Damian, in Aethelgard, we can’t confront Sebastian Ford head-on, if you need help from the Sinclair Family, by all means, speak up."
Jasper sighed softly.
Perhaps because Eleanor reminded him of his younger sister’s identity.
He was also tender towards Eleanor.
"Jasper, thank you, I’ll find a way myself first."
Damian didn’t want to, nor could he, utilize the Sinclair Family.
The revenge plot is an entangled feud between the Lowell Family and the Ford Family.
He was convinced that Eleanor was being bullied by Sebastian Ford; if he could resolve Sebastian, Eleanor would be safe and sound.
Now in Aethelgard, the Lowell Family’s dormant forces were gradually being mobilized.
He must proceed with caution, to fulfill the responsibility and mission of revitalizing the Lowell Family, planned over many years.
...
When Eleanor returned, Sebastian Ford’s interview had already ended.
He was sitting on the sofa, lazily crossing his long legs, seemingly not waiting for her.
Beside him, Noelle Kendrick was chatting with him cheerfully, leaning forward the whole time, afraid that Master Ford on the opposite side wouldn’t see her cleavage.
However, Sebastian didn’t look directly at the coquettish woman.
The moment Eleanor returned, his peripheral vision was already fixed on her.
Eleanor still felt a bit uncomfortable after vomiting.
Her eyes were slightly red, biting her lip, avoiding his gaze, not looking well.
To Sebastian, she was secretly crying out of jealousy.
Having achieved his desired effect, he didn’t want to deliberately provoke her further.
"Assistant Valerius, why did you keep me waiting so long?"
Sebastian called her a low voice, unconsciously furrowing his brows, he didn’t want to admit he was soft-hearted and reluctant to part.
"Mr. Ford, can we leave work now?"
Eleanor approached, clearing her slightly hoarse throat from throwing up.
Her chest still felt heavy and uncomfortable, she wanted to go back to rest.
"Alright, let’s go."
Sebastian saw the little details of her being upset from jealousy, stood up, ready to leave with her.
"Mr. Ford, we... haven’t finished yet, have we?"
At this moment, Noelle suddenly stood up in disbelief, wasn’t Mr. Ford supposed to fancy her and take her away tonight? 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"The interview is over, with you, where’s the ’we’?"
Sebastian’s voice was cold toward those who were no longer useful, even his gaze was stingy.
"But... didn’t you just praise me for being beautiful?"
"Couldn’t you tell it was just politeness?"
Sebastian squinted, his gaze lazily turned to Eleanor, who looked somewhat weak yet more endearingly pitiful, his expression and tone carried a smile of approval.
"I’ve seen beautiful women before, as for you, wearing proper clothes is the least of professional etiquette."
Hearing this, Noelle’s face turned very ugly.
She couldn’t help being jealous just because Eleanor was there, even if she stripped completely, she couldn’t compare!
Yet, Noelle couldn’t understand.
By seniority, Mr. Ford should be Eleanor’s uncle, impossible for any affair between them!
At this time, Eleanor followed Sebastian’s steps towards the outdoors.
Behind her felt the prying scrutiny of Noelle, but a reporter’s keen sense couldn’t be underestimated.
Therefore, she deliberately kept a clean distance from Sebastian throughout.
Sebastian caught her movements, thinking she must be sulking from jealousy.
Good, he should use the same means to retaliate against her.
It was Eleanor who betrayed him first, he would punish her, not letting her easily enjoy him.
Both sat inside the car without speaking.
Eleanor watched the scenery outside, worried that Second Uncle might urge her again.
She wasn’t truly after the 100,000 reward but needed to divert Second Uncle’s suspicion.
After serious consideration, she thought of using intimate photos of her and Sebastian from his phone as evidence.
However, it would be difficult to secretly access Sebastian’s phone without him noticing suspiciously!
"Did Master Ford meet a beautiful female reporter tonight and not want to bother with me anymore?"
At this moment, Eleanor pretended to jealously accuse, she directly got up and sat on Sebastian’s lap, her soft body pressed against him.
First, let her find where he kept his phone.
Sebastian raised an eyebrow at her offering favor, he knew she couldn’t resist clinging to him!
"Little fox really is jealous?"
"Hmph, I’m angry, my lover turned out to be disloyal."
Eleanor playfully pouted, her active hugging posture let her nimble hands lightly probe, touching the phone in his left pocket.
"Do you realize I can punish you!"
At this moment, Eleanor tilted her face closer and bit his Adam’s apple, trying to distract Sebastian’s attention.
Meanwhile, her small hand stealthily took his phone.
Everything was supposed to go smoothly.
But unexpectedly, Sebastian’s big hand suddenly noticed.
Unprepared, Eleanor held her breath and froze.
Hey! Hey!
This is a mistake!
"Do you really want to punish me?"
Sebastian’s voice was hoarse, and a dangerous glint appeared in his slightly narrowed eyes.
