Veridia City, The Faulkner Group branch.
Ever since yesterday, Jasper Faulkner suddenly had a ton of overwhelming issues to handle, catching him off guard.
While working overti like crazy, he wailed and lanted, bluntly saying Alaric Faulkner was a ruthless capitalist exploiting workers.
Wasn’t it agreed he’d help share the workload? Now dumping everything on him, what’s the deal?
This is brother abuse!
Assistant Charles Chapman was there with Jasper Faulkner for his overti.
Seeing Jasper Faulkner’s utterly defeated look, he couldn’t help but suggest, "Might it be you did sothing that upset the elder brother, so he’s purposely ssing with you like this?"
Jasper Faulkner glanced at him, "What did I do to provoke my brother? I’m even keeping my distance from Eleanor Sterling when I et her..."
Suddenly, his expression shifted slightly, muttering, "Could it be five steps isn’t far enough?"
Charles Chapman’s face twitched, "Uh... surely the elder brother isn’t that obsessive, right?"
But recalling the call that day from Alaric Faulkner, seeing his possessiveness towards Eleanor Sterling, Charles suddenly wondered.
Maybe it was entirely possible for Alaric Faulkner to act like this.
Jasper Faulkner cursed under his breath, saying, "Who knows if this old man suddenly blooms like an iron tree, maybe his deanor changed.
Must be because of this! From now on, I’ll stay ten steps away from Eleanor Sterling!"
...
In the hotel.
Liam Keene, upon hearing that Eleanor Sterling was aiming for dical school, looked at her as if she were crazy.
"You went to the Faulkner Family once and got bewitched? You’re actually aiming for dical school? How is that any different from a max level boss slaughtering the newbie village?"
Listening to Liam’s analogy, Eleanor Sterling coughed lightly, "Don’t exaggerate it like that, am I really that impressive?"
Liam chuckled, "Dear Doctor Sally, if I may remind you, your surgery schedule is already booked till the end of next year."
So isn’t Eleanor Sterling quite impressive?
Anyone hearing the na Sally would respectfully call her a big shot.
Eleanor Sterling shot him a glare, old?
Liam felt the chill and quickly chickened out, hastily shifting the subject.
"Oh right, I found out that the Hayes Family’s young lady is also staying at this hotel.
Why isn’t she going ho, staying at the hotel, what’s she up to?
Could it be she knows you’re here and wants to co apologize?"
Eleanor Sterling didn’t even lift an eyelid, obviously uninterested, "You ask , who do I ask?"
"Regarding the Hayes Family’s surgery, when do you plan to start on it?"
Eleanor Sterling furrowed her brows, recalling being kicked out, her pitiful holess state, and said, "It’s not an ergency, they won’t die, let them wait."
Liam stood up, "Alright then, go play in dical school first."
After saying that, he stood up and returned to his room.
...
Hotel lobby.
Suddenly, there was a commotion, everyone gathered around a man who had collapsed on the ground.
Eleanor Sterling happened to pass by, she paused for a mont, then approached to see.
The man lying on the ground was pale, seemingly in a coma.
News stories about being sued for helping fallen elderly were rampant lately, causing no one to dare step forward.
Eleanor Sterling stepped forward, "Let take a look."
She crouched down to check, finding it wasn’t a major issue, likely just a faint from low blood sugar.
Discovering the issue, Eleanor Sterling stood up, deciding to head outside to a convenience store to buy a sugary drink and so candy.
People didn’t pay much attention to her departure.
After Eleanor Sterling left, Faye Sterling appeared dragging a suitcase; seeing the elderly man on the ground, her eyes glead.
Here in Aethelgard, if she just arrived and imdiately got praised for saving soone, it’d definitely be a huge advantage for entering dical school.
