Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 193: Affair Exposed! Master Ford Is Her Patron
Julian Ford’s greatest regret in life is at this very moment!
Why did he decide to catch Eleanor Valerius’s lover? How could he possibly handle it when it turns out to be such a big figure!
Thinking back, last time he tried to force Eleanor without success and got beaten up, the figure he saw indeed was Uncle!
Back then, who would have dared to believe that Uncle was Eleanor Valerius’s lover.
He preferred to believe that there was something wrong with his own mind.
In the end, the unthinkable was something Eleanor actually did!
She had an affair with Third Master Ford; who could have doubted it.
The atmosphere was unbearably awkward.
Eleanor nestled in Sebastian Ford’s arms, her smile reminiscent of an enchanting, destructive concubine.
"What to do, cousin found out about my affair with Master Ford. Are you going to threaten me?"
In fact, her heartbeat was so erratic with panic, she could barely breathe.
Yesterday, she narrowly avoided Julia Ford’s discovery and forced her way out with denial.
Today, she repeated the risk, and Julian had seen it all crystal clear.
The Ford Family was truly terrifying; her second uncle was still pressuring her to investigate Sebastian Ford’s lover, yet here her own lover was caught first!
"I..."
Julian swallowed hard, too afraid to speak.
The three of them exchanged glances.
Though Julian stood there menacingly, Sebastian sat there holding Eleanor even more brazenly, not even bothering to pretend.
Eleanor understood clearly that Julian’s tailing today was for revenge.
Now that she had fallen into his hands, she decided to strike first, using Sebastian to counter-threaten him.
"Cousin, why do you always target me at the company? The kidnapping and bullying from the past still haunt me with fear, making my lover feel so sorry for me. But considering your status as the eldest nephew, he already showed leniency, yet you still refuse to repent?"
Eleanor seized the opportunity to provoke Sebastian by recalling Julian’s previous actions.
"Master Ford, I’m really scared. What if cousin threatens to expose our relationship and forces me to leave you?"
She knew her coquettish ploys to incite disaster were obvious.
However, Sebastian was perversely psychological.
He loved it when she acted coy, even if it was all an act.
"Don’t be afraid, I won’t let you leave my side."
Holding Eleanor in his arms, Sebastian shot Julian a sharp, bloodline-repressing gaze filled with terror.
"Julian, you’ve made the same mistake, catching an affair and it’s me. Since the family rules and punishment of restriction don’t work, tell me, how should I punish you this time?"
"I didn’t mean it..."
Julian, trembling with fear, begged for mercy, "Uncle, if I had known you were Eleanor Valerius’s lover... I wouldn’t have dared to come here even if I had the courage of a lion, I swear I won’t speak a word! Just act as if you didn’t see me tonight, I’ll disappear now!"
"Get back here!"
Sebastian’s voice bore authority without anger.
Upon hearing this, Julian, who was about to turn and flee, froze in place.
"Do you need me to take an oath, Uncle?"
He didn’t even dare to meet his uncle’s terrifying gaze.
Eleanor naturally didn’t trust Julian; she blinked deliberately, pretending to be fierce, "Only dead men tell no tales, Master Ford, what do you think?"
"Hmm, kill him then,"
Sebastian replied nonchalantly, narrowing his eyes, and stood up.
In that instant, Julian’s knees went weak, and he fell to the ground.
"Uncle, please don’t kill me! I’m your real nephew! Grandpa said the Ford Family should support and love each other. My mom only has one son; please, for the sake of our blood relation, forgive my rash mistake. I swear I won’t reveal your relationship with Eleanor, or I’ll die a horrible death!"
Sebastian said nothing, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
He walked up to Julian, grabbing him by the collar and shoving him to the railing of the balcony.
"Uncle... don’t kill me..."
Julian had no strength left to struggle, terrified.
Sebastian pressed his head towards the sheer drop beyond the railing, warning in a low voice, "If you fell from here, there’d be nothing suspicious about the cause of death. Julian, I’m giving you one last chance; if you dare speak wrongly, I’ll ensure you can never talk again. Remember that?"
Looking down from such a height already frightened Julian breathless.
"Re... remembered..."
Upon being released, Julian collapsed on the ground, clutching the railing and gasping for air.
Sebastian had never intended to kill Julian because he bore the Ford name.
His threats and intimidation were meant to ensure the secrecy of his relationship with Eleanor.
"Julian, if you ever dare to provoke Eleanor Valerius again, you know the consequences."
Julian dared not even look at Eleanor.
"Never, Uncle! Can I leave now?"
"Get out."
Sebastian’s domineering stance made Julian feel as though he narrowly escaped death.
Subsequently, he returned to the sofa and gently embraced Eleanor again.
"He won’t talk."
"Indeed."
In Julian’s retreating figure, Eleanor saw fear.
Yet she was still worried, unable to wager carelessly.
If the Ford Family found out about her seducing Sebastian into being a mistress, he wouldn’t even be able to protect her then.
...
Two days later.
The Ford Family invited the Valerius Family to a family banquet.
Regina Jennings decided to bring Eleanor and Chloe Valerius along.
Before leaving, Chloe was meticulously dressing up in her room.
For her first visit to the Ford Family, she wanted all eyes on her.
Eleanor returned, her mind preoccupied with worries.
At a Ford Family banquet, what if Julian suddenly went crazy?
Only when Eleanor stepped out of the car and into the Ford’s old residence did the unease cling even more persistently to her mind.
Yet Chloe was fascinated by everything, constantly asking her sister to introduce and greet, familiarize herself with the Ford relatives.
Thus, the two sisters inevitably encountered Julia Ford.
"Eleanor Valerius, is she your twin sister?"
Regina Jennings, intent on restoring the Valerius family’s reputation after the scandal, had arrived early to play the caring mother, using Chloe’s successful surgery as a conversational topic.
By now, everyone in the Ford Family already knew Chloe as the fourth lady of the Valerius Family.
"Yes, she’s my sister, Chloe."
Eleanor couldn’t help but observe Julia’s expression.
Were there any unresolved misunderstandings from Damian Lowell’s explanations?
She seemed genuinely happy, not as though her emotions had been rejected.
What exactly transpired between Damian and Julia?
Julia nodded without saying anything, her eyes passing over Chloe rather serenely.
However, Chloe felt antagonistic towards Julia.
She envied her fortune of being born into the Ford Family, enjoying riches beyond her reach.
"The Ford Family’s lady isn’t particularly attractive."
"Chloe."
Eleanor frowned, reminding disapprovingly, "Don’t say such things, and don’t provoke anyone from the Ford Family. We must tread carefully."
Afterward, with unease in mind, she sought out Julian.
Upon making a round, unexpectedly, she found Julian blocking Chloe’s path, grinning lewdly.
"Little cousin looks so cute."
Suddenly, Eleanor’s eyes narrowed dangerously, as she approached Julian.
Behind her, Sebastian, having finished his matters, couldn’t help but want to see her.
Though he promised to restrain and rid himself of his addiction, even in the Ford’s when he ought to remain calm, his eyes instinctively sought her.
Life continued normally without her; why was it that he alone felt so lost?
"Cousin, do you want to have a chat with me?"
Eleanor’s cold voice cut through the room.
Upon hearing it, Julian looked up to see Eleanor and, simultaneously, Sebastian behind her. Instantly, he froze with terror!
