Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 189: The Ford Family Won’t Accept Her Baby

Chapter 189: Chapter 189: The Ford Family Won’t Accept Her Baby
"Serena... I’ve heard of her."
Eleanor Valerius looked up at Jasper Sinclair, smiling as she replied, "It’s Mrs. Sinclair’s name."
Sebastian Ford had shown her the Sinclair Family’s information.
"Besides Mrs. Sinclair, have you heard the name elsewhere?"
Jasper Sinclair couldn’t help but continue asking.
If Eleanor Valerius were his sister, how could she not know their mother’s name?
But he didn’t know the information he’d found about his sister was incomplete.
Eleanor Valerius thought about it seriously and then shook her head lightly. How could she recognize the name of Mrs. Sinclair from Aldoria?
When she saw the clear disappointment in Jasper Sinclair’s eyes.
Since he didn’t explain, she had doubts but politely refrained from asking.
"Miss Valerius, I know you’re in charge of the cooperation project with the Ford Family."
Jasper Sinclair calmed his emotions and said in a low voice, "If you ever visit Aldoria, the Sinclair Family welcomes you as a guest."
"Aldoria must be beautiful, thank you, President Sinclair."
Eleanor Valerius’ smile was heartfelt.
However, she didn’t know why, but her heart suddenly hurt for no reason at a certain place.
People not destined to be together wouldn’t recognize each other even if face-to-face.
A moment later, Damian Lowell came back with a cake.
"Try and see if it’s any good."
As Eleanor Valerius was about to eat, her phone suddenly rang.
[Come back.]
Sebastian Ford’s command was simple and blunt.
Her slightly stunned reaction triggered more anger in Damian Lowell’s eyes.
"I’ll pack the cake and eat it back home."
Eleanor Valerius got up to leave, considering she was in the middle making things difficult, Damian Lowell really didn’t want to let go.
Damian Lowell watched her leaving figure, expression strained, trying to control himself.
Powerlessness beyond one’s control, Jasper Sinclair empathized deeply.
He also had a secret of love unreturned in his heart.
...
Eleanor Valerius left the mall carrying the cake.
Soon after, Nathan Kendrick was trailing behind her, seeming unable to hold back his questioning, "How can a woman like you be so fickle and flirtatious? My brother is so perfect, why do you still tangle with the Lowell guy while being with him?
I’ve heard from Mason Monroe about how my brother got humiliated because of you. You toy with feelings; you’re a bad woman!"
Eleanor Valerius felt like crying and laughing at the same time.
If she were bad, she couldn’t compare to Sebastian Ford!
Not knowing now he’s mad and wanting to bully her again.
"No one likes a tattle-tale brat!"
Nathan Kendrick: "I’m not a brat!"
...
Back at the company.
Eleanor Valerius took a deep breath before daring to push the door and enter the office.
She saw Sebastian Ford in a suit sitting at the desk handling documents, his deep-set eyes glanced at her, his handsome face calm and inscrutable.
"Mr. Ford, I’m back."
She couldn’t guess what he was thinking; pretending to be obedient was never wrong.
However, Sebastian Ford didn’t inquire about her meeting with Jasper Sinclair and Damian Lowell, only showed clear hostility towards the cake she was carrying.
"Assistant Valerius, go make coffee."
"Alright."
Upon returning, she saw the cake had already been thrown into the trash.
So petty!
Though, having the cake thrown away was better than being thrown away herself.
Originally today was her day off, but Sebastian Ford used her identity as Assistant Valerius to order her around.
Until Eleanor Valerius realized, Sebastian Ford wanted her company.
Accompanying him through the day is better than at night; night was too tiring.
Eleanor Valerius was frequently going in and out of the CEO’s office.
Then, Byron Ford, having received the news, hurried over, insisting on a clandestine conversation with her.
"You haven’t encountered anything, have you?"
"Huh?"
Eleanor Valerius was taken aback.
Why was the second uncle concerning himself with her?
"You’re the undercover I arranged next to the third one for investigation, being out of touch for so long, I thought something had happened to you. But seeing you back as an assistant to the third, I’m relieved and waiting for your investigation into the third’s mistress."
Eleanor Valerius: "..."
She was guilty and dared not speak.
"Now even my father can’t tolerate the woman affecting the third, if you can find out her identity, the Ford Family will definitely reward you."
Upon hearing this, Eleanor Valerius suddenly felt tense and uneasy.
"Second uncle, what will grandpa do if he knows about the woman?"
"For the Ford Family’s reputation, the third’s dark past will definitely be cleaned up thoroughly."
Byron Ford conveyed the old man’s mindset.
If he seized the opportunity, any scandal concerning Sebastian Ford must be made known and propagated extensively.
Eleanor Valerius tightened her lips, her breath disrupted.
She never expected, the greater threat pressed from the Ford Family!
If her affair with Sebastian Ford were exposed, Mr. Ford wouldn’t tolerate her.
The lineage of the baby inside her must never be known to the Ford Family!
"Don’t feel pressured, the third doesn’t guard against you, you definitely can uncover his secrets."
Byron Ford had confidently recognized Eleanor Valerius as his own insider.
Clearly, the second uncle intends to use her; Eleanor Valerius blinked, unobtrusively testing and countered, "Second Uncle, why won’t grandpa accept that woman? Doesn’t he want Master Ford to marry soon?"
"The third is a typical self-serving non-marital advocate, the old man has urged him for many years without success."
Byron Ford entirely unaware that he was being led into speech, continued, "A ruler is greedy for power. It’s impossible for him to sever emotional ties and not marry. If one day he wishes to marry, it would be because marriage brings benefits, and it wouldn’t matter whom he marries. But the old man won’t allow a woman he dislikes to enter the Ford Family."
Eleanor Valerius was wakefully aware that the Ford Family was indeed terrifying.
"Second Uncle, why haven’t you married?"
"..."
Byron Ford held his tongue.
...
Eleanor Valerius never thought Byron Ford truly regarded her as a spy.
Because she followed Sebastian Ford closely, avoiding suspicion about their abnormal relationship, she took over Mason Monroe’s tasks.
As a result, any critical negotiations Sebastian Ford had, he brought her along.
Eleanor Valerius dealt with Byron Ford evasively, without exposing herself, but eventually Byron Ford asked her to steal critical company documents.
She was considering it, not yet responding.
Suddenly, her phone was taken away, looking up she saw Sebastian Ford reviewing her conversation with Byron Ford.
"Master Ford, I was thinking of accepting second uncle’s deal."
Sebastian Ford narrowed his eyes dangerously, coldly questioning, "Is it for money again? Huh, why do you always expend effort on others? Why not directly ask me, wouldn’t it be easier to exert yourself on me?"
His usual anger stemmed from her not wholeheartedly putting effort into him.
"I just want to help you."
Eleanor Valerius stayed calm, explaining with a smile, "Second uncle is your greatest adversary in the Ford Family, he’s scheming to take your place. If I assist in your internal-external coordination, maybe we could seize a handle against him and solve your issues.
My contributions would naturally be rewarded by you; we’re allies."
She aimed to seize the chance to break free from Byron Ford’s threat and also strive for money.
"Not necessary."
Sebastian Ford furrowed his brow, denying her.
The second brother was a visible enemy of the Ford Family, but the real threat was the mysterious person allied with Damian Lowell.
He disagreed, not wanting Eleanor Valerius drawn into danger.
"You just need to be a good lover."
At the moment, Eleanor Valerius could only see his indifferent, guarded eyes.
She couldn’t imagine what Sebastian Ford truly loving someone would look like.
He distinguished love from desire so clearly, yet she fell for it.
Thus, her feelings and her baby were secrets she couldn’t disclose.
