Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 128: The Adulterer Is Me—Master Ford Admits It Himself!

Chapter 128: Chapter 128: The Adulterer Is Me—Master Ford Admits It Himself!
Sebastian Ford was attending an important international finance conference tonight.
However, he was distracted the entire time.
The phrase "trapped by love" seemed like a divine punishment upon him.
After the meeting, other company bosses wanted to discuss potential collaborations with Master Ford.
Yet, Sebastian Ford suddenly stood up and left, wanting to confirm if Eleanor Valerius had come looking for him.
Despite her coldness towards him since she suggested breaking up!
When he saw Eleanor’s missed call, his eyes lit up instantly, and he opened her voicemail.
"Her message was left less than half an hour ago; maybe she’s still waiting for me?"
Thinking of this, Sebastian rushed out without a second thought, driving towards the Lancaster Company.
On the way, he called Eleanor back, but no one answered.
Was she angry?
Or was it the ’playing hard to get’ tactic?
Sebastian rarely drove himself personally.
On one hand, his status required the presence of Ford Family bodyguards.
On the other, his work was usually too busy, and car rides were his rare moments of rest.
The Ford Family bodyguards couldn’t react fast enough to Mr. Ford’s hasty departure.
They struggled to follow in their car.
By the time Sebastian reached the place where Eleanor said she’d wait, he couldn’t see her anywhere.
After asking the Lancaster Family, he found out she had gone home, feeling remorseful for missing her call.
But why didn’t Eleanor answer his call?
Was she deliberately retaliating against him?
Wouldn’t he seem too cheap if he went looking for her again?
Standing there, Sebastian’s mind was torn between reason and losing control.
After a long time, even the Ford Family bodyguards couldn’t help but speak up.
"Master Ford?"
"Home!"
Then, Sebastian drove to the Valerius family villa.
The Ford Family bodyguards exchanged puzzled looks, glancing at the villa’s entrance.
They must not have read the signs wrong, right?
Master Ford definitely took a wrong turn.
They dared not ask nor question.
Sebastian got out of the car and strode inside with long strides.
The reason he could come see Eleanor himself was because she had reached out to him first.
Just enough to mask his uncontrollable desire to see her.
However, Regina Jennings hurriedly ran over to welcome him, puzzled, "Sebastian, why are you here? Eleanor isn’t back home yet; isn’t she at the company?"
Hearing this, Sebastian froze.
"Eleanor hasn’t returned home?"
At that moment, Wayne Wainwright suddenly called.
"News from the police: two hours ago, Evan Donovan suffered stomach pain while in detention and fled during the hospital transfer. It’s likely that after the Donovans lost the lawsuit, they arranged a jailbreak trying to secretly send him abroad. The police are now hunting for him."
Sebastian frowned, feeling a growing sense of unease.
"What’s this video?"
Regina Jennings received an anonymous video on her phone, and as soon as she clicked it open, Sebastian snatched it.
In the video, Eleanor Valerius was curled up in a corner, bound with thick ropes around her hands and feet.
A bucket of cold water was poured over her, drenching her completely; she pressed her lips tightly, glaring at her captor without making a sound.
"The Valerius Family’s woman shows some spine, huh! I’ll give you three hours to get Eleanor Valerius’s lover to meet me. If he doesn’t come, I’ll ruin her and cut off her arms and legs to feed to the sharks in the sea!"
The eerie voice was unmistakably from the escaped Evan Donovan.
The video was short, likely just recorded.
Sebastian’s gaze turned piercingly hostile, his heartbeat suddenly chaotic, never expecting that a moment’s delay would land Eleanor in Evan Donovan’s hands!
"Who took Eleanor away? She doesn’t have a lover, do they mean Jenson?"
Regina Jennings was immediately panic-stricken.
She wasn’t genuinely worried about Eleanor but rather about losing this cash cow.
"Sebastian, Eleanor is your niece, the Ford Family must save her!"
Sebastian squinted, trying hard to suppress his emotions, not letting their relationship be easily exposed.
"I’ll have the police save her."
He seemed indifferent, yet his departing steps were rushed.
At this moment, Ivy Valerius, having heard what happened, rushed out clutching her bandaged wrist wound.
"Master Ford... it was Evan Donovan, I recognize his voice..."
Tear-eyed, Ivy directly knelt down.
She dared not call him Third Uncle, respecting hierarchy.
"Evan Donovan took Eleanor because of me, I beg you, please save her!"
Sebastian stopped and turned back.
He suddenly longed for the woman who used to affectionately call him.
"Alright."
After getting into the car, Sebastian informed Wayne Wainwright and Nathan Kendrick.
"Go save my niece!"
...
In an abandoned suburban cabin.
Eleanor Valerius was soaked from the cold water, unable to distinguish if she was shivering more from the cold or fear.
She widened her eyes, holding her breath as she watched Evan Donovan drinking red wine across from her.
Sebastian would definitely come to save her knowing she was taken.
But right now, she was only worried about whether this pervert Evan Donovan would suddenly go mad and torment her.
"In prison, every day I wondered which bastard framed me and put me behind bars. The only possibility is the man who saved you that night would have set me up. Looks like your lover is quite influential in Aethelgard, daring to defy even the Donovan Family!"
Evan approached Eleanor holding the wine bottle.
"No wonder you’re a whore trained by the Valerius Family! Your lover will arrive soon; keep me company with a drink first."
Eleanor pressed her lips tightly without speaking.
As Evan brandished the wine bottle toward her, she frowned and turned away.
In the next moment, Evan viciously grabbed her hair, forcing her head back, and poured the bottle of red wine into her mouth.
Eleanor endured the pain, struggling desperately, choking and coughing as the wine invaded her nose and mouth.
"Speak! Who exactly is your lover?"
Evan forcibly interrogated her while pouring wine.
Eleanor gritted her teeth, refusing to utter a word.
She would never reveal Sebastian’s identity.
"Damn it! You little slut, you’ve got a tight mouth! Now you’re in my hands, don’t dream of leaving alive! I’ve got many tricks waiting to play with you! By the time I’m done, you’ll beg for death!"
Evan released her, tossing Eleanor aside.
Eleanor curled up as she hit the ground, coughing and retching, her stomach feeling wretchedly sick.
She knew she had to protect herself until Sebastian arrived.
After leaving prison, Evan had been craving alcohol and women after drinking two bottles.
"The more I look, the more I can’t hold back, I’m gonna have a go at you first!"
At this point, Donovan’s bodyguards were about to avoid the scene.
"Don’t you leave! Stand here and watch, whores like her enjoy an audience. After I’m done, it’ll be your turn!"
Evan’s sleazy smile and vulgar words sent shivers down Eleanor’s spine.
Tied up, she had no chance to struggle or escape.
As she stiffened, watching Evan approach, she bit her lip, preparing to resist at all costs.
But right at that moment,
the tightly closed door was suddenly kicked open with force.
The night outside was deep, and this tall, imposing figure crushed through the darkness, exuding a harsh, dangerous intent!
At one glance, Eleanor’s fear-stricken eyes saw Sebastian, and tears welled up instantly.
Sebastian was alone.
His eyes were blood-red, like a devil emerging from hell.
"Master Ford?"
Evan Donovan’s eyes widened in shock, suddenly on alert, with a fierce expression, "This is a feud between me and the Valerius Family, a Donovan Family revenge; the Ford Family should best not interfere!"
He hadn’t even seriously considered why Sebastian would come.
Suddenly, Sebastian’s smile was wicked.
"Eleanor Valerius’s lover is here, and it’s me!"
Hearing him confess it personally, Evan was dumbfounded with shock.
He couldn’t believe the little slut from the Valerius Family could hook up with Third Master Ford!
At that instant, Sebastian’s gaze turned towards Eleanor, becoming tender and lingering.
"You’re trying to ditch me, yet I refuse to let go, I’ll definitely be that lover!"
