Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 103: She Acts Coy, He Breaks His Vow

Chapter 103: Chapter 103: She Acts Coy, He Breaks His Vow
"Hmm, Assistant Valerius is eating so well, must be very happy."
Sebastian Ford lazily squinted his eyes, allowing Eleanor Valerius to snuggle in his arms.
He repeatedly emphasized to himself not to break his rule for her, yet the extent of his loss of control was far beyond his expectations.
Fortunately, Eleanor was very obedient.
She knew how to appease him, making it seem reasonable for him to break his rule.
It seemed like everything became interesting with her interactions.
Eleanor knew how to get along with Sebastian Ford.
"Here’s a kiss for you."
This was also her way of expressing gratitude to him.
One had to admit, he really liked it.
Sebastian’s heart and mind both fluttered because of Eleanor Valerius.
What good news this was.
........................
"Mr. Ford, there’s an urgent document from the project department that requires your signature..."
Outside the office, Mason Monroe knocked and walked in.
At a glance, he didn’t see Mr. Ford and Miss Valerius but saw a tie hanging on the chair.
Almost simultaneously, Mason turned and pushed the project manager who wanted to follow in outside, closing the office door.
"Mr. Ford is currently attending to more important matters personally and cannot be disturbed."
Mason suddenly considered that the job risk of being a personal assistant seemed to have increased.
Others might not know, but he knew very well.
Ever since Assistant Valerius came back to Sebastian Ford’s side, Mr. Ford’s schedule had become more easily changeable.
After all, the frequency of Assistant Valerius’s use far exceeded that of Assistant Monroe’s.
...
Eleanor Valerius didn’t expect that she would finish working overtime and then wake up to find that it was already the end of her shift.
Even the resting room had started to contain her clothes and personal items.
Listening to Sebastian talking business outside while she lay inside, it was really quite thrilling.
However, she also performed well in serious work and received Mr. Ford’s praise.
And that noon, Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster suddenly came to see her.
Eleanor arranged for them to wait in the reception room, deliberately arriving late, and they didn’t dare to complain.
"Is there something you need?"
"Eleanor, now that Jenson is receiving treatment at the hospital, I hope you can help the Lancaster Family negotiate the project with the Ford Family in the capacity of their fiancée."
Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster’s words carried an implicitly threatening reminder: "The Lancaster Family also supported the Valerius Family’s business, otherwise your mother wouldn’t have had the qualification to cooperate with other wealthy ladies."
Regina Jennings’s business?
The illegal type?
"My mother’s business is also my business."
Eleanor deliberately misled to test them: "I’ll do my best to facilitate the cooperation between the Lancaster and Ford Families. In the future, you can also discuss issues in my mother’s business with me. Being by Master Ford’s side is the most convenient way to help both our families’ futures."
The Lancaster parents did not suspect anything and indirectly exposed Regina Jennings’s shady business.
Such a great opportunity, Eleanor certainly would seize.
Breaking free from the Valerius Family means having Regina Jennings go to prison for her crimes!
...............
The next day.
Eleanor Valerius received a call from her sister, Chloe.
Coincidentally, Sebastian Ford came out of the office, turned to her and said, "Assistant Valerius, accompany me to lunch."
"Mr. Ford, I need to go home for a bit."
Eleanor’s eyes flickered slightly, and upon seeing his action of slightly squinting his eyes after being refused, she explained, "A call from the Valerius Family."
Because of the lie, she was still a bit afraid when facing Sebastian Ford.
The intimate entanglements in bed did not allow her to forget that Sebastian Ford was a dangerous man holding the power of life and death.
"Alright."
Fortunately, Sebastian didn’t suspect or question further.
Eleanor felt relieved that Sebastian wasn’t surveilling or controlling her right now.
Sleeping with the wolf.
Her obedient demeanor in front of him was like walking a tightrope.
Upon arriving at the hospital.
Eleanor first went to see Chloe’s attending doctor.
She inquired about her condition and consulted on how much it would roughly cost to transfer Chloe to another hospital for continued treatment in the future.
All along, Chloe Valerius received the best treatment in the hospital, with Regina Jennings settling the bills monthly.
The money she had was far from sufficient; risking her sister’s life was not an option.
Since childhood, Regina Jennings knew her weakness, using it to control her; maintaining her self-respect was already quite a challenge, let alone rebelling.
In the ward.
Eleanor was accompanying Chloe Valerius during her meal.
"Chloe, you seem to have lost weight. Eat more."
"Sis, have you heard any news about Vincent?"
Chloe, donning a hospital gown, looked a bit thin and haggard.
"Not yet."
Eleanor thought of Damian Lowell, but he wasn’t Vincent.
"We can wait for Vincent to come to find us."
At this point, Chloe suddenly touched her neck and said in a panic, "Sis, my Jade Pendant is missing!"
"Don’t worry, I’ll find it."
Chloe couldn’t leave the ward, so Eleanor found a Jade Pendant tied with a red string under the pillow and put it back on her.
"The Jade Pendant is the only memento mom left us. She will surely bless you with health from above."
In Chloe’s eyes, she looked at her noble and beautiful sister and said with a smile, "Sister’s clothes and handbags are so expensive and nice. When I get better, I can also go back to the Valerius Family and enjoy life."
The Valerius Family was a hellish gilded cage.
But Eleanor dared not shatter Chloe’s illusion just yet.
She planned to tell her the cruel truth after she was able to take Chloe away.
"Once Chloe gets better, anything you want, sister will give it to you."
Her biological sister was someone Eleanor was willing to give her all for without reservation.
After Eleanor left the ward.
The voices of two nurses gossiping at the door drifted in.
"Even though they’re twins, only the sister is beautiful; the younger one is quite ordinary."
"Yeah, they have different statuses and temperaments too. The sister is draped in luxury brands, noble in every way, while the younger one is unlucky and sick, they really lost out big."
Chloe heard these comments.
In her eyes, a twisted jealousy surfaced.
"Once I can have the surgery and get better, I will definitely become elegant and beautiful, definitely better and more perfect than sister..."
...
After leaving the hospital, Eleanor did not return directly to the company but went to a nearby cemetery.
She bought a bouquet of white lilies and placed it in front of her biological mother’s tombstone.
As a child, she and her sister were sent to the orphanage not because they were abandoned but because their mother had passed away from illness.
The hospital’s kind nurse had helped collect money for the funeral, and what was left for her and her sister was their mother’s Jade Pendant.
When she grew a bit older, the orphanage director told her about her background.
But she didn’t even know her mother’s full name; the tombstone merely read "Miss Langdon."
"Mom gave me and Chloe all her love, and I will continue mom’s love by taking good care of Chloe."
Eleanor stood there for a long time, her eyes red and sore.
At this moment, Sebastian Ford called.
"Assistant Valerius is not coming back yet?"
For some reason, hearing his deep voice made Eleanor feel warm.
It must be because the cemetery was too cold!
