Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 65: Endure the Pain—This Is Your Punishment

Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Endure the Pain—This Is Your Punishment
Eleanor Valerius was startled by Damian Lowell’s actions and instinctively furrowed her delicate brows.
But since he had just lent her his jacket to help her out of a bind, she couldn’t immediately show her dissatisfaction by questioning him.
"Mr. Ford, you’ve arrived."
She proactively greeted him to prevent being suspect by entertainment ers.
After all, she had both above-board and clandestine relations with Sebastian Ford.
"Master Ford’s appearance is very timely."
Damian Lowell did not loosen his grip, and the provocation in his smile instantly ignited the anger in Sebastian Ford’s eyes.
"Luckily, Miss Valerius is also here, otherwise I’d have thought I was being followed."
"I think Lawyer Lowell should speak with more caution given his status."
Sebastian Ford narrowed his eyes, his gaze landing on Eleanor Valerius, finding that blazer jacket glaringly offensive.
"The Ford Family has a project here, my... Assistant Valerius is also here, but Lawyer Lowell’s presence is quite unexpected."
He had arranged for someone to track and monitor Damian Lowell.
When he found out Eleanor Valerius was also there, he couldn’t sit still and rushed over.
Unexpectedly, he still witnessed Damian Lowell deliberately acting ambiguously with Eleanor Valerius in front of the ers.
"I’m giving an interview."
Damian Lowell calmly smiled, steering the topic back: "The ers are curious about my relationship with Miss Valerius. Master Ford, do you want to personally explain? Or should I?"
This was not a consultation request; it was him applying public pressure using the media lens.
For a moment, focus remained on Eleanor Valerius.
Entertainment ers dared not speak recklessly, as the disreputable third Miss of the Valerius Family was nobody they took seriously.
But she was entangled between Master Ford and Lawyer Lowell.
No matter the relationship, it was quite explosive.
Eleanor Valerius pressed her lips tightly and held her breath, her gaze freezing uneasily.
She realized her identity was dragged in, becoming an issue for Sebastian Ford.
"Master Ford, do you have a major announcement today?"
Journalists cautiously questioned.
The issue wasn’t about whether they could the news, but if they misspoke, the company might be doomed.
"Why is Lawyer Lowell impatient?"
Sebastian Ford frowned lightly, his tall and imposing stature brimming with an oppressive presence.
As he approached, his steps naturally pushed Eleanor Valerius behind himself.
Damian Lowell failed to catch her, his gaze darkening.
"Eleanor Valerius is my niece and also my personal assistant."
Facing the journalists, Sebastian Ford smiled meaningfully and said: "Lawyer Lowell’s meeting with my assistant is purely business, as recently the Ford Family and Sinclair Family have intentions of cooperation, although not officially confirmed and announced yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ers were indeed very excited.
If the Ford Family in Aethelgard collaborated with the Sinclair Family in Aldoria, it would be sensational news in the business world.
Eleanor Valerius felt a bit panicked.
She couldn’t see it, but she could feel his displeasure.
The cooperation between the Ford Family and Sinclair Family was of great importance, and clearly, he had already rejected Damian Lowell.
Unexpectedly, Damian Lowell used her as an excuse to publicly apply pressure with a tinge of threat.
Damian Lowell smiled in satisfaction.
"This is good news. Master Ford announcing it early also represents the sincerity of both families."
He knew Sebastian Ford was suspiciously investigating him.
Using Eleanor Valerius was an accidental coincidence in his plans.
If Sebastian Ford denied the cooperation, then after he helped Eleanor Valerius out, their relationship would become increasingly unexplainable.
Betting on Eleanor Valerius, unexpectedly Sebastian Ford truly compromised.
He didn’t believe Sebastian Ford had genuine feelings for her; it was just his possessiveness that wouldn’t allow his possessions to be snatched away.
"Sincerity is mutual. Since Lawyer Lowell represents the Sinclair Family, I also need to see the Sinclair Family’s attitude."
Sebastian Ford stood there, completely blocking Damian Lowell’s gaze towards Eleanor Valerius.
But his intentions towards Eleanor Valerius were too obvious.
Since it couldn’t be avoided, he could only use Eleanor Valerius as bait and probe into Damian Lowell’s intentions.
"Of course, tomorrow I’ll personally visit Ford Group for further cooperation talks."
Without seeing Eleanor Valerius, Damian Lowell directly stated: "Assistant Valerius, we’ll meet again tomorrow."
He openly named her, intending to force Sebastian Ford to hand over Eleanor Valerius.
All the journalists present were witnesses.
"The collaboration between the two major families is bound to be a win-win, Master Ford and Lawyer Lowell should pose for a picture together."
Today’s news headline was about the decision of cooperation between the Ford Family and Sinclair Family.
Eleanor Valerius, previously in the spotlight, was now insignificant.
She stood pale outside the camera view.
Her wet clothes made her body very cold, chills seemed to seep into her bones.
Beside her, Gregory Hale stopped his wife.
Looking seriously at the distinguished Sebastian Ford, he understood why his sister couldn’t forget him.
But because of this, he feared even more that if his sister married him, she wouldn’t find happiness.
After the interview concluded.
Sebastian Ford directly took Eleanor Valerius with him.
The two walked one after another into the fitting room of a women’s boutique.
With the door closed, the confined space.
Eleanor Valerius felt trapped in his control and confinement, the intangible oppression making her breath hasten.
Yet, Sebastian Ford remained silent, somewhat roughly removing her clothes.
Especially Damian Lowell’s blazer, trampled underfoot.
The more Eleanor Valerius thought, the more frightened she became.
"Sorry for affecting the Ford Family because of me."
She was very clear Sebastian Ford’s compromise was business-like, not to protect her.
On the contrary, she was being exploited by Damian Lowell, potentially leading to Sebastian Ford’s disdain.
She had no delusions of being a beloved wife.
Awake to the fact she was merely worried about losing her chance to scheme against him.
Sebastian Ford looked at her deeply.
He was a bit surprised by her admission of fault.
In fact, his anger arose from his decision to use Eleanor Valerius to approach Damian Lowell, merely unhappy.
"You have affected me."
His mood was sullen.
But the little fox wasn’t aware, in his and Damian Lowell’s contest, she was just a pawn for both sides.
No matter what Damian Lowell’s plot for her was, he minded and was very upset.
"Eleanor Valerius, what should I do?"
Sebastian Ford dangerously narrowed his eyes; this question was him questioning himself.
Consequently, Eleanor Valerius misinterpreted it as him genuinely angry, instinctively throwing herself into his embrace.
Her cool skin pressed against his suit, her body trembled slightly.
"You can punish me, but don’t abandon me."
Sebastian Ford smelled the lingering scent of another man on her.
In a flash, the uncontrollable jealousy made him grasp her tightly, the force truly punishing.
Eleanor Valerius uncontrollably whimpered in pain, curling into his embrace, trembling in response to his venting.
"Endure the pain, once you’ve received the punishment, I’ll forgive you."
Sebastian Ford whispered in her ear.
His hands, with assertive heat, roamed every inch freely, wanting only his scent on her body.
Despite being the one lying and manipulating, he demanded comfort from Eleanor Valerius.
Eleanor Valerius bit her lip, not evading, even clinging to him without reservation.
The reaction he desired, she was offering him.
"Ha, you really fear me."
How could Sebastian Ford not know she was trying to please him?
Even without wrongdoing, she felt uneasy, because Eleanor Valerius had other secrets she was hiding from him.
"I’m scared of you being angry, scared of losing you."
Eleanor Valerius’ voice was soft, hidden fear in her eyes of losing everything.
"Then be good, and I won’t be able to abandon you."
Sebastian Ford allowed Eleanor Valerius to misunderstand and fear him.
To subdue her, he must control her, having her pain and pleasure both in his grasp.
Until her sincerity in soothing him satisfied him.
Watching her breathe rapidly, her legs still slightly weak as she dressed again.
Sebastian Ford chuckled lightly, his voice hoarse: "You love me so much, I, as your paramour, should avenge you."
Was he going to avenge her?
Eleanor Valerius was stunned, hastily grabbing his arm, stopping him: "Master Ford, you’re not planning to hit Lawyer Lowell, are you? You can’t! He knows the law, he’ll sue you!"
