Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Her Lover Refuses Her Touch and Forces Her to Break Off the Engagement
Eleanor Valerius’s fear erupted in her eyes.
"Master Ford!"
She couldn’t help but call out to him again, chasing after him.
However, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, with Regina Jennings and the Lancaster Family behind her.
Sebastian Ford was surrounded by many business owners, everyone’s gaze fixed on her.
Eleanor Valerius took a deep breath, sweetly smiled, and said, "Mr. Ford, I am your personal assistant. If you have a social engagement, I can accompany you now."
She knew too well Sebastian Ford’s vengeful nature.
If he’s angry, he will definitely punish her, but at least she still had a chance to appease him.
If she were abandoned by Sebastian Ford, all her efforts would be in vain, and she would never escape the Valerius Family’s cage in this lifetime.
In everyone’s eyes, it was Eleanor Valerius trying to please the distinguished Sebastian Ford.
This was also the tactic of the social butterflies in the Valerius Family.
Sebastian Ford seemed to be considering, then turned lazily to look at her.
"Don’t you have plans?"
His sharp gaze shifted to Damian Lowell at the dining table.
Damian Lowell elegantly sipped tea, chuckling a reminder, "If Miss Valerius is going to leave, then my meeting with the Lancaster Family ends too."
"No, Eleanor wouldn’t leave."
Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster heard this and hurriedly reminded Jenson Lancaster not to let this money tree escape.
Then, Jenson Lancaster caught up to Eleanor Valerius with a smile, saying, "Master Ford, I boldly ask for Eleanor’s leave, as she is my fiancée. Our family’s dinner is very important, and I’m taking Eleanor back now. Surely, as an elder, you can understand and won’t be angry."
Sebastian Ford’s eyes narrowed dangerously.
Very well.
Jenson Lancaster dared to snatch her away in front of him.
"Jenson, you can’t be so selfish. I am Mr. Ford’s..."
Eleanor Valerius quickly wanted to refuse Jenson Lancaster.
"Assistant Valerius."
Sebastian Ford interrupted her coldly, with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes, saying, "You’re off work now, I won’t occupy your time. Return to your fiancé."
Watching his departing figure, Eleanor Valerius felt completely frozen.
She knew that this time Sebastian Ford wouldn’t be easily appeased.
Returning to the dining table, she had to feign a smile, yet was anxious and flustered inside.
Facing the Lancaster Family’s manipulation, Eleanor Valerius realized all this was caused by Damian Lowell.
"Lawyer Lowell, the night view outside is beautiful. Shall I accompany you for a walk?"
Eleanor Valerius smiled, pretending to go along with the Lancaster Family’s fawning over him.
"Sure, Young Master Lancaster doesn’t mind if Miss Valerius accompanies me for a walk?"
"Of course not, it is our honor."
Damian Lowell smiled coldly.
He could see that the adoptive Valerius Family and the betrothed Lancaster Family did not truly care for her.
Since Eleanor sought his help, he also wanted to speak to her alone.
Once outside, Eleanor Valerius got straight to the point, "Lawyer Lowell, I’m not feeling well. You go alone, I’ll head home."
She was merely using Damian Lowell to escape, anxious to find Sebastian Ford.
"Miss Valerius."
Damian Lowell instinctively tried to stop her, noticing her cautious and defensive demeanor, explaining, "If you need help, don’t hesitate to ask."
Eleanor Valerius found it amusing.
She wouldn’t trust strange men.
"No, I don’t need anything. Please respect my freedom."
Eleanor Valerius left by cab.
Knowing she was heading to find Sebastian Ford, Damian Lowell was worried and instructed the driver to bring the car around.
However, the driver was involved in a collision at the parking lot exit, blocking Damian Lowell from pursuing Eleanor Valerius.
Damian Lowell frowned; was Sebastian Ford monitoring Eleanor all along?
Her situation was dangerous; he had to help her.
...
Eleanor Valerius was in the taxi but had no destination.
"Sebastian Ford is avoiding me, not even answering my calls. Where can I find him..."
She was too anxious to notice she had been followed since leaving the restaurant.
Behind her was a discreet car with Sharon Sinclair and the private investigator she had hired.
For the status of Mrs. Lancaster, she had never given up on catching Eleanor Valerius’s lover.
Eleanor Valerius learned from Flora Vaughn that Wayne Wainwright was at Vex.
She rushed over and burst into the room as if surprising Wayne Wainwright.
"Stay away from me! Don’t seduce me!"
Wayne Wainwright looked at her warily, pointing at her, "Last time you got me into trouble. You and Master Ford playing games don’t involve me."
"Are you really that afraid of Master Ford?"
Eleanor Valerius mocked him, using taunts.
"Amusing, aren’t you afraid?"
"..."
Both fell silent.
Eleanor Valerius frowned and asked, "Do you really not know where Master Ford is?"
She knew Sebastian Ford wanted her to pacify him, but he wouldn’t easily allow it.
"Honestly, I don’t know. Did you upset him?"
Wayne Wainwright seemed to derive schadenfreude.
However, the surveillance footage in the room was being watched by Sebastian Ford.
He deliberately made things difficult for Eleanor Valerius but did not want her talking to Wayne Wainwright, so he called him directly.
"Tell Eleanor Valerius to meet me upstairs."
"Tsk, are you soft-hearted or impatient?"
Wayne Wainwright relayed Sebastian Ford’s message, and Eleanor Valerius immediately dashed out.
Upon hearing the security guard’s notice, he naturally asked, "Your niece has been followed. Should I deal with it?"
"No need, but help me arrange something."
Sebastian Ford was in a bad mood and wanted Eleanor Valerius to understand the consequences.
After waiting for a while.
Eleanor Valerius walked in, wrapped in a long coat.
"Master Ford, I’ve been searching for you for so long."
She looked over with alluring eyes, carrying a hint of seduction and a hint of probing.
Sebastian Ford lounged on the sofa, drinking, deliberately asking in a mocking tone, "Assistant Valerius, busy making connections, what are you looking for me for? Did you settle the marriage into a wealthy family? How could I postpone your lifelong happiness?"
"Nonsense~ I clearly belong to you."
Eleanor Valerius acted coy all the way, stepping closer to him, and directly sat in his lap.
"Don’t you want me anymore?"
She reached out, touching him through his shirt.
If acting coy solves the problem, then it’s not a problem.
"You know the best time to pacify me now, but only know to use such tactics?"
Sebastian Ford touched her, listened to her hum, yet suddenly pushed her out of his arms.
"Master Ford?!"
Eleanor Valerius was instantly shocked.
She realized tonight Sebastian Ford’s bed was hard to approach.
Since she couldn’t take the initiative, she could only tease him.
"Is the lover upset and won’t let me touch, or wants to play a new trick?"
Eleanor Valerius blinked, slowly removed her long coat, revealing her alluring attire underneath.
Indeed, a little fox!
Sebastian Ford watched her, his eyes turning blood red.
No wonder she was a bit late; she came fully prepared.
"The Ninth Concubine dances for the Commander."
Eleanor Valerius danced, under his fiery gaze, her every movement enchanting.
Until Sebastian Ford’s breath gradually became chaotic.
While she was spinning, she was suddenly pushed against the wall by Sebastian Ford from behind; she pretended to be startled, but her waist compliantly softened.
"Can the lover let me touch you now?"
Eleanor Valerius thought, as long as he wanted it, she could pacify him.
"I indeed want to try something new."
Sebastian Ford held her in his arms.
However, he made no further action but pinched her face to turn toward the live surveillance.
"I like having an audience."
Eleanor Valerius hadn’t expected Jenson Lancaster and Sharon Sinclair to come here.
"Should your fiancé come in and see how you seduce me into bed?"
Sebastian Ford’s voice was hoarse, stopping her struggles, biting her ear, threatening, "I want recognition as your lover; you give me that, and I’ll give you yours."
"No..."
Eleanor Valerius frantically tried to refuse, pleading with him, "Master Ford, I can’t become a woman who’s unfaithful and gets dismissed."
"You don’t have a choice!"
Suddenly, Sebastian Ford forcibly tilted her head back and kissed her fiercely.
