At this mont, Old Master Faulkner ca out and broke the tense atmosphere.
"I didn’t expect the birthday of the old lady to bring all of you here, truly rare guests."
He looked at Zachary Faulkner and said, "Zachary, quickly take your mother and fiancée downstairs, don’t stir up trouble here."
Eleanor Sterling had soone backing her up, plus she was never soone who let others bully her without fighting back.
Even if Old Master Faulkner wanted to downplay the situation, she wouldn’t give him face.
She coldly laughed, interrupting, "Wait!"
Eleanor Sterling walked up to Felicity Crawford, "Earlier she accused of pushing her, I feel it’s better to make it real.
So that Miss Crawford won’t go out spreading rumors that I never did, otherwise I’d be at a disadvantage."
After she finished speaking, Eleanor grabbed Felicity’s hand and pushed her to the ground.
Felicity Crawford was caught off guard and fell down in an embarrassing posture.
Because of the force, her dress couldn’t withstand it, tearing with a ripping sound, exposing her shoulder.
The crowd gasped in surprise.
Eleanor Sterling was really bold to push Felicity Crawford in public.
Juliet Sterling was furious, Felicity Crawford was at least her future daughter-in-law, Eleanor Sterling’s elder sister-in-law, and she showed no respect; it was outrageous!
She glared at Eleanor Sterling, "You’re too much."
Warren Hawthorne: "Too much?"
Jonathan Jennings: "How is Eleanor too much?"
Alaric Faulkner: "Eleanor can do whatever she wants."
Juliet Sterling was imdiately deflated.
Not to ntion Alaric Faulkner, just dealing with The Hawthorne Family and the Jennings Family was sothing she couldn’t afford.
Zachary Faulkner removed his suit jacket, went over to cover Felicity Crawford, and then helped her leave.
Juliet Sterling could only leave dejectedly.
Old Master Faulkner saw the chaos at the scene, and his face wasn’t looking good.
He didn’t expect his authority as the head of the Faulkner Family to be useless in front of Eleanor Sterling, and earlier, he had wanted to avoid airing family grievances in public, trying to steer the topic away.
Unexpectedly, Eleanor didn’t give him face at all, and acted out in public.
Old Master Faulkner was displeased, but the Faulkner matriarch was quite happy.
Eleanor Sterling certainly didn’t disappoint her.
Earlier she had so concerns regarding Eleanor’s background, but now they were completely gone.
Moreover, Eleanor handled provocations perfectly, making her the best candidate for the Faulkner family mistress.
The Faulkner matriarch, seeing Old Master Faulkner’s anger, glared at him and said, "Today is my birthday, why are you wearing a stiff face?"
"No, you saw wrong." Old Master Faulkner quickly put on a stiff smile, looking like a henpecked husband.
The Faulkner matriarch held Eleanor Sterling’s hand, "Eleanor, co sit by grandma, let’s not worry about them."
"In future, those who don’t behave, just hit them, don’t worry about giving us face."
"So they don’t think you’re easy to bully."
"By the way, earlier Alaric ntioned he’s going to marry you, later I’ll help you choose the things you need for the wedding."
Eleanor Sterling was now both amused and helpless, she was being pampered by the matriarch to the point of being told to hit people if needed, right in front of everyone.
She could only helplessly remind, "Grandma, please pay attention to your image."
"What image? I’m speaking the truth; disobedient juniors should be taught a lesson, otherwise how can you show the authority of a family mistress?"
Wow, the crowd was amazed.
What did they hear?
Authority of the family mistress? Did the Faulkner matriarch an to give Eleanor Sterling the position of family mistress?
