Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 4: How Daring of You to Seduce Me?

Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Chapter 4: How Daring of You to Seduce Me?
The sensation below startled Eleanor Valerius into a frantic struggle.
The drink in her hand spilled, soaking his trousers with a wet patch, a bit chilly.
"Throwing yourself at me?"
Suddenly, Sebastian Ford accused her first, his arm encircling her waist.
He leaned down to her ear, whispering, "What’s your name?"
Eleanor Valerius froze; wasn’t he supposed to be abstinent? Why was he entangled with her in a bar?
"..."
Did Sebastian Ford doubt her?
"Master Ford is interested in her, huh?"
Wayne Wainwright was surprised and a bit regretful.
He was interested in Eleanor Valerius, but no one dared to compete with Sebastian Ford for what he had his eyes on, even a long-time friend.
After all, his possessiveness was infamous.
At this moment, Flora Vaughn saw the situation and rushed over, smiling apologetically: "President Wainwright, I’ll accompany you for drinks, she’s just a young girl, doesn’t know how to drink."
"Don’t misunderstand, it’s not me who asked her to accompany, it’s Master Ford."
Wayne Wainwright immediately cleared up the misunderstanding; he couldn’t even look at this woman.
Eleanor Valerius knew Flora Vaughn wanted to save her, and she too wanted to escape.
"Sir, I’ll get another drink."
She deliberately softened her voice, hoping not to be recognized by him.
Sebastian Ford did not let go, suddenly lifting his long leg with a jolt.
Eleanor Valerius nearly lost her balance in his embrace, her hips pressed against his solid thigh.
Her face flushed, heartbeat chaotic and restless.
"You still haven’t said what your name is."
"...Gigi."
Eleanor Valerius made up nonsense.
"Gigi, it sounds nice, and it suits someone so delicate."
Sebastian Ford seemed satisfied, his palm measuring as he laughed quietly, "Wayne said you are a treasure, and it’s true."
Wayne Wainwright proactively poured a glass of wine, which Sebastian Ford took and handed to Eleanor Valerius.
"Be good, feed me."
Eleanor Valerius froze in his arms, afraid to move, tilting her body away, handing over the glass.
However, Sebastian Ford did not drink but bit her finger.
Eleanor Valerius cried out in shock, quickly realizing and pressing her lips, afraid to reveal herself.
Seeing this, Wayne Wainwright wisely stood up to leave, taking Flora Vaughn with him, lowering the curtain that sheltered the area.
"President Wainwright, this is against the rules; she... Gigi is just performing, not accompanying guests."
Flora Vaughn was very worried.
"Being with Master Ford is her good fortune."
Eleanor Valerius does not want this fortune!
Sebastian Ford seemed highly interested.
"Use your mouth to feed me."
"Sir, I don’t drink."
Eleanor Valerius softly refused: "I’m just performing here. If you want company, I’ll ask the manager to call other girls."
"You want to dance, right."
Sebastian Ford interrupted her refusal, "Dance for me."
"I don’t perform solo..."
"Do you know the consequences of refusing me?"
Sebastian Ford frowned displeasedly, his ringed left hand tapping gently on the table, a warning of danger.
Eleanor Valerius took a deep breath; if he hadn’t figured her out, she had no choice but to go along.
"Sir, you need to let go of me, and then I can dance."
Sebastian Ford actually released her.
After standing up, Eleanor Valerius resisted the impulse to just run away right there to dance for him.
Sebastian Ford watched lazily, amusement growing in his eyes.
This young niece had two faces after all.
Crying in the daytime claiming it wasn’t intentional to sleep with him, yet dancing and serving drinks at a nightclub at night?
The dignified third daughter of the Valerius Family, spoiled and pampered, earning money here?
What secrets was Eleanor Valerius hiding?
At this moment, Eleanor Valerius noticed Sebastian Ford’s increasingly dangerous gaze, hurriedly stopping to say, "Sir, I need to return to work."
"Your veil fell off."
Behind her, Sebastian Ford reminded her.
Eleanor Valerius immediately panicked, reaching out to cover her face, finding the veil still there.
In the next instant, Sebastian Ford reached out from behind to grip her cheek, his tall frame slowly closing in, laughing lowly, "Running so fast, are you scared of me? Little niece."
Eleanor Valerius held her breath, indeed!
Sebastian Ford was too clever; how could she possibly deceive him?
She hadn’t expected he recognized her from the very beginning.
Sebastian Ford removed her veil, and even discarded the unsightly wig.
Before him, Eleanor Valerius was like exposed without disguise, her blue eyes revealing her anxious thoughts.
"Tell me, what are you doing here."
Sebastian Ford’s interrogation was less lethal than his morning demeanor, but rather playful curiosity.
"I’m so embarrassed being caught by Master Ford."
Eleanor Valerius breathed deeply, feigning calmness as she spoke: "How do you feel about my performance just now? My fiancé Jenson has a peculiar hobby; he likes role-playing with me. I practice here to surprise him."
"Oh? You used me as a practice partner? Sneaking into my bed that night was practice too?"
Sebastian Ford raised an eyebrow, seemingly intrigued by her explanation.
Eleanor Valerius saw the sneer in his eyes but still had to make her story convincing.
"An occasional mistake is fine; Jenson and I are engaged, and everything I do is for him. He wants a pliantly delicate Mrs. Lancaster, so I came to learn, as long as I can satisfy him, it’s my worth."
Sebastian Ford touched her waist, giving it a pinch.
"It’s quite soft, but does your fiancé mind that I tried you out first on the bed?"
Eleanor Valerius was cornered by his questioning, unable to explain further.
"Don’t bully me."
"Hold back those tears."
"..."
The same trick couldn’t fool him a second time.
Eleanor Valerius’ heart raced in panic, but she refused to admit, pretending to pout, "Master Ford, I have a curfew, need to go home."
She surprisingly managed to escape as Sebastian Ford did not pursue her.
As she planned to leave the bar, Jenson Lancaster’s call suddenly came through.
"You bitch! I asked you to entertain Mr. Holloway that night on the cruise, and who the hell did you hook up with to mess around? Now Mr. Holloway won’t sign the contract, says he never even saw you."
Eleanor Valerius froze.
She hadn’t expected the cruise incident to be exposed so quickly.
Jenson Lancaster continued cursing her over the phone.
"Our Lancaster Family paid the Valerius Family so much dowry, you’re no more than a toy sold to me! Your body is mine to control; defy me and the Valerius Family will owe a fortune they can’t repay! Now get over here and explain properly to Mr. Holloway."
This danger she couldn’t resolve unless her lover could protect her.
"Fine, I’ll go over."
After hanging up, Eleanor Valerius glanced at the empty corner outside the lounge.
Deliberately repeating the address.
She had to gamble.
...
Arriving at the club.
Jenson Lancaster greeted her with a slap, the burn searing her cheek.
"Bitch!" Jenson Lancaster cursed and threatened: "Get in there and please Mr. Holloway; if the deal isn’t struck tonight, the Valerius Family can expect a broken engagement and repayment!"
The bald, fat, greasy Mr. Holloway sat waiting in the hall.
Jenson Lancaster kicked Eleanor Valerius, causing her to kneel painfully on the ground.
"Mr. Holloway, I am sincerely willing to discuss cooperation."
Jenson Lancaster fawningly smiled at Mr. Holloway, explaining: "Something must’ve gone wrong that night; I’m having her make up for it now, if one night isn’t enough, then a couple more until the Lancaster Family and Holloway Family can definitely cooperate."
Mr. Holloway grinned sleazily at Eleanor Valerius’ pretty face.
"With Young Master Lancaster’s sincerity, negotiations are certain; come over here, beauty."
Jenson Lancaster yanked Eleanor Valerius by the hair, threatening by her ear: "Serve Mr. Holloway well for me."
He demanded she crawl over on her knees.
Eleanor Valerius clenched her lips, feeling like livestock.
Was she truly unable to escape?
"It’s not right for two men to bully one woman."
Coming to intervene was Wayne Wainwright.
But both Jenson Lancaster and Mr. Holloway stood shocked as Wayne Wainwright was accompanied by Sebastian Ford.
At this moment, Eleanor Valerius trembled all over, her gaze turning to Sebastian Ford, like a ray of light born in desperation.
She had won the gamble!
