Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 108: The Valerius Family’s Status Is Her Ascent

Chapter 108: Chapter 108: The Valerius Family’s Status Is Her Ascent
"How can a woman from the Valerius Family sit in the Third Master’s car?"
In the eyes of the Ford Family’s relatives, the surname is the biggest distinction of identity.
Since Ethan Valerius passed away, it’s Mr. Ford’s mercy that has allowed the Valerius Family to depend on the Ford Family for survival.
"Eleanor, have you completed all the important tasks Sebastian assigned to you?"
Regina Jennings suddenly became arrogant.
She squeezed past from behind, deliberately flaunting Eleanor Valerius’s current work relationship with Sebastian Ford.
"Mom, Master Ford said he’s very satisfied with my... work performance."
Eleanor Valerius smiled obediently.
However, the look she gave Sebastian Ford was anything but obedient.
In her clear eyes, his handsome face was reflected, carrying a subtle seductive smile, tightly entangled with him.
"Hmm, her performance is excellent."
Sebastian Ford nodded earnestly, affirming her.
Hearing this, Regina Jennings’s smile resembled the smug expression of a villain.
"My Eleanor has been smart since she was young; she also values the opportunity to work by your side. As long as Sebastian gives her more chances, teach her what she doesn’t know, Eleanor’s performance will definitely not disappoint you."
Sebastian Ford’s gaze contained an imperceptible hint of ambiguity.
"As long as she’s not afraid of getting tired."
Upon hearing this, Eleanor Valerius thought of Sebastian Ford’s improper teaching methods.
"Don’t worry, mom, I’ll learn well."
"Eleanor, you are the pride of our Valerius Family."
Regina Jennings was indeed very satisfied with the value Eleanor Valerius could create.
At this moment, others were shocked and looked at each other in dismay.
How did the Valerius Family rise to power?
After all, when Third Master Ford first returned to the country, the Valerius Family was even beneath the servants at the Ford Family.
What did Eleanor Valerius do in such a short time?
No one knew that the rise of the Valerius Family was due to Eleanor Valerius’s rise in status.
She dared to climb into Sebastian Ford’s bed, and the Valerius Family rose as a result.
Thus, the Ford Family’s relatives also changed their attitudes, looking up to Eleanor Valerius and the Valerius Family.
At this moment, the old butler came to greet them.
Eleanor Valerius and Sebastian Ford exchanged a glance as they parted ways.
The two openly, yet secretively, flirted with each other.
...
Jasper Sinclair came on behalf of the Sinclair Family to visit the Ford Family, accompanied by Damian Lowell.
At the entrance of the old mansion, a row of luxury cars from the Sinclair Family were parked, with bodyguards respectfully waiting outside.
Even news ers came, but were restricted from filming.
"President Sinclair, Lawyer Lowell, welcome both of you."
Sebastian Ford personally greeted them, exuding the absolute aura of a host.
"My father is waiting in the main hall."
"Mr. Ford, you’re too kind."
Jasper Sinclair’s manners were impeccable, showing respect to Mr. Ford.
After being seated, he and Damian Lowell sat on the right side, with Sophia Ford and Byron Ford opposite them on the left side.
The most important seat beside Mr. Ford was occupied by Sebastian Ford.
Amidst the cheerful atmosphere.
Sebastian Ford and Jasper Sinclair’s topics were mostly about cooperation between the two families.
But he keenly noticed that Damian Lowell had hardly spoken, appearing more reserved and restrained.
"Lawyer Lowell, are you unwell?"
Faced with Sebastian Ford’s sharp inquiry, Damian Lowell immediately realized he might have let his emotions show.
It was his first time at the Ford Family, where he was struggling to hide his hatred.
Everyone sitting here was an enemy of the Lowell Family!
"Damian might not have rested well after dealing with documents last night."
Jasper Sinclair explained for him, then shifted the topic with a smile: "The courtyard design of the Ford Family’s old mansion is quite grand; it’s not yet lunchtime, Mr. Ford, would you mind if we take a look around?"
"Of course, I’ll personally take President Sinclair and Lawyer Lowell for a tour."
Sebastian Ford stood up, exercising his duty as host.
Meanwhile, Sophia Ford and Byron Ford didn’t want to miss out on the big project with the Sinclair Family.
Especially Sophia Ford, whose son was still under house arrest.
She wanted to restore her image in front of her father by arranging for her husband Owen Shaw and Julia Ford to personally assist.
Passing by the entrance of the dining room.
"Lawyer Lowell, we meet again."
Julia Ford, disregarding her status, took the initiative to greet him, her gaze and smile were shy and girlish.
"Miss Ford."
However, Damian Lowell’s response was serious to the point of coldness.
Julia Ford was stunned by his differing attitude in different circumstances.
For a moment, the person she saw through her glasses seemed like a complete stranger.
"Julia, President Sinclair and Lawyer Lowell are guests; don’t disturb them."
Owen Shaw’s voice sounded somewhat timid as he reminded her from the side.
He lifted his head, and upon meeting Damian Lowell’s gaze, neither showed any sign of weakness.
Sebastian Ford lazily squinted, his sharp gaze carrying a sense of surveillance and scrutiny.
"Miss Valerius."
At this moment, Damian Lowell saw Eleanor Valerius, who was helping out in the dining room, and deliberately greeted her as an act of provocation towards Sebastian Ford.
Jasper Sinclair’s gaze also turned to Eleanor Valerius.
"Miss Valerius, we meet again."
Whether it was because he still hadn’t found his sister, the first time he met Eleanor Valerius, he suspected her identity only to be denied. He still felt she looked familiar.
At this moment, Eleanor Valerius, holding a fruit platter, showed slight surprise.
Why did both guests greet her proactively?
As a result, the eyes of the others in the Ford Family also turned towards her, filled with sharpness.
"President Sinclair, Lawyer Lowell, welcome both of you to the Ford Family."
When Eleanor Valerius realized the situation, she smiled and nodded slightly in response.
"Why does Miss Valerius have to do a servant’s work at the Ford Family?"
Damian Lowell seemed dissatisfied and questioned on her behalf.
"Lawyer Lowell misunderstood."
Before Sebastian Ford could answer, Eleanor Valerius spoke first: "The Valerius Family is also a part of the Ford Family; President Sinclair and Lawyer Lowell are distinguished guests, helping to prepare lunch is my honor."
But Regina Jennings wanted her to perform well, and the servants bossed her around without any reservation.
She was wearing high heels, walking back and forth, tired and hungry.
However, this was a thousand times better than when Regina Jennings forced her to dance for the male gaze!
Eleanor Valerius’s smile was perfect.
"No need to worry, Lawyer Lowell, the Valerius Family is part of the Ford Family; I never treat my people harshly."
Sebastian Ford’s words were layered with meaning; those unaware couldn’t detect his possessiveness.
He then gestured to continue walking forward to tour the courtyard.
Once everyone had taken a step forward.
Sebastian Ford discreetly turned back and saw Eleanor Valerius’s increasingly painful steps.
...
Before the banquet started.
Sebastian Ford temporarily left, saying he needed to personally select a few good bottles of wine from the cellar.
As Eleanor Valerius passed by the pantry outside the kitchen.
Suddenly, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her inside, locking the door.
Eleanor Valerius was startled but didn’t scream; she already felt Sebastian Ford’s familiar presence.
"Didn’t you say you had no time for me?"
"Worried you might miss me too much, here to give you a sweet treat as a sedative."
Sebastian Ford straightforwardly pulled Eleanor Valerius to sit on the table.
At that moment, Eleanor Valerius hadn’t yet reacted but found herself under his control.
Sebastian Ford took off her high heels, lifted her ankles, and bent her knees towards him.
Eleanor Valerius couldn’t support her body and almost leaned back.
"Master Ford..."
She was wearing a dress; with her legs lifted, the hem had already slipped down.
Did Sebastian Ford want her right here?!
"The banquet is about to start, time is running short..."
Eleanor Valerius was flustered; she certainly knew how terrifying his stamina could be.
However, Sebastian Ford leaned over and stuffed a piece of pastry into her mouth.
When hungry, everything tastes delicious!
Eleanor Valerius’s eyes sparkled, eating while questioning him with her gaze.
"Heh, what did you think I wanted to do?"
Sebastian Ford squinted, teasing hoarsely: "Little fox, are you expecting me to feed you in another way?"
