Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Emergency Contraception!
Eleanor Valerius, uncertain whether there are obvious marks on her body, hides under the blanket.
"Why are Grandpa and Uncle Byron here?"
As soon as she speaks, she hears her hoarse voice, and her ears turn red.
When Sebastian Ford punished her at the pool, he really forced her to shamelessly scream aloud.
Her provocation angered him, which was the only way she could regain her freedom now.
However, Sebastian Ford’s out-of-control punishment was frighteningly intense, leaving a deep imprint within her.
"Eleanor, your injuries are related to Young Master Donovan. Now that he’s in trouble and has been arrested, if things aren’t cleared up, it will implicate the Ford Family. The doctor said your condition is unstable. Have you improved after resting for two days?"
Regina Jennings and the Ford Family did not have any suspicions.
Eleanor Valerius knew it was the hospital that covered for her.
The Ford Family was here to hold someone accountable, while Regina Jennings just wanted to clear connections to avoid implicating the Valerius Family.
"Girl, tell us what happened that night."
Mr. Ford asked with authority.
Byron Ford’s face was heavy, as Evan Donovan’s troubles directly affected his cooperation projects.
He always felt that things weren’t as simple and that perhaps someone was framing him.
Once he found out, he wouldn’t let it go!
"Grandpa, it was Young Master Donovan who tried to bully me..."
Eleanor Valerius’s acting was superb, instantly bringing tears.
It turned out Sebastian Ford had to demand she came out to face the Ford Family’s interrogation.
He couldn’t keep her imprisoned as a private pet forever.
"That night..."
Eleanor Valerius followed her plan, recounting the events of that night.
Since Evan Donovan had no evidence against her, her explanation was flawless.
A tearful, weak woman, lying injured in the hospital, was the perfect victim.
Mr. Ford turned a blind eye to the issues concerning the Valerius Family.
"Your explanation is quite reasonable."
"Father, the nightclub’s surveillance was damaged; this is suspicious."
Byron Ford, with a cold expression, analyzed Eleanor Valerius’s timid and anxious appearance: "I know you’re not capable of such things, but someone else is. The one who attacked Young Master Donovan might also be behind getting him arrested."
Eleanor Valerius cried with a hint of worry.
Could Sebastian Ford be suspected?
At that moment, Byron Ford called in the nightclub manager, accompanied by Flora Vaughn dressed as a cleaner.
"Second Master, she was responsible for cleaning the VIP area that night. She claims to have seen it."
Flora Vaughn lowered her head as she walked in.
Eleanor Valerius and her had no eye contact, just part of the plan.
Flora Vaughn held the video evidence in shaky footage, clearly showing Evan Donovan’s hysterical attack on Eleanor.
However, in the latter half, Eleanor passed out from serious injuries, and Flora Vaughn excused herself for being scared and fled.
"The two incidents are too coincidental. Mr. Donovan wants the Ford Family to explain."
Byron Ford, staring suspiciously at Eleanor Valerius, seemed to find a lead and probing asked, "If you know who did it, speak up; otherwise, once I find out..."
"Found it."
Sebastian Ford abruptly entered, striding with his tailored suit.
Everyone’s gaze turned to him.
Only Eleanor Valerius, when touched by his gaze, felt her heart flutter as if burned and panicked.
Now looking at him poised, yet in the pool he was anything but graceful.
Sebastian Ford didn’t look her way.
"Miss Valerius, it’s time to take your medication."
The nurse brought in medications, one more than usual.
Among them was an emergency contraceptive pill.
The frenzy by the pool was without protection, and he hadn’t withdrawn in time.
In public view, Eleanor Valerius dared not show any shame.
No one knew about her relationship with Sebastian Ford.
No one knew the austere façade he maintained concealed such reckless abandon.
"Third Brother, what did you find?"
Byron Ford hurriedly inquired.
Sebastian Ford gestured for others to leave; he brought a new witness.
"Evan Donovan’s two accidents weren’t mere coincidence, but they have nothing to do with Eleanor Valerius. The attack on Evan Donovan was a personal feud, and the against him was vengeance from the same person. However, the perpetrator has fled Aethelgard.
Second Brother, you can pass the evidence I found to Mr. Donovan to prove the incident is unrelated to the Ford Family."
Sebastian Ford sat beside Mr. Ford, his sharp gaze fixed on the sobbing Eleanor Valerius.
"Furthermore, the police didn’t wrong Evan Donovan; it’s the consequence of the Donovan Family’s actions."
It wasn’t an illusion; Eleanor Valerius realized Sebastian Ford was also warning her.
Since he could arrange a scapegoat, he must have discovered the planned trap she and Flora Vaughn set.
To protect her, Sebastian Ford intervened and had to handle the aftermath.
Eleanor Valerius knew he was angry, but she didn’t regret it.
"Since Young Master Donovan’s incident happened in Aethelgard, and we have ties with the Donovan Family, Third Brother, think of a way to rescue Young Master Donovan and send him back to Emberfall."
Byron Ford’s suspicions about Sebastian Ford lacked substantial evidence.
"The Ford Family is under no obligation to help the Donovan Family."
Sebastian Ford narrowed his eyes dangerously, showing respect only before Mr. Ford: "The Donovan Family’s arrogant attitude initially accused Eleanor Valerius of involvement in the incident, trying to indict the Ford Family. Now, without evidence, they want to morally coerce us.
Father, I’ve already given the Donovan Family enough face; Evan Donovan should remain in jail."
Sebastian Ford’s anger was due to his frustration at not being able to control himself when repaying private vendettas.
Eleanor Valerius had won.
But he refused to let himself be defeated by losing control again.
"Sebastian, you’ve handled it well; let’s not bring up this matter again."
Mr. Ford agreed, leaving Byron Ford with nothing else to say.
"Girl, take care and heal well."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Eleanor Valerius lowered her gaze, secretly exhaling a sigh of relief.
She knew that given the Donovan Family’s financial power, they would eventually rescue Evan Donovan.
But having him detained for a while was good; she and Second Sister were safe.
"Father, I’ll escort you back."
Sebastian Ford stood up, helping Mr. Ford as they prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Eleanor Valerius sat up anxiously.
On the surface, she had to avoid implicating their relationship, so she suppressed her emotions and softly called out, "Thank you for clarifying this matter."
She understood Sebastian Ford; as the Ford Family Head, he would never jeopardize the Ford Family’s reputation for a woman.
Moreover, their relationship was merely an agreement of mutual consent.
She wasn’t his lover, just his bed partner.
If it weren’t for her scheming against him, Sebastian Ford wouldn’t have resolved the Donovan Family threat.
Sebastian Ford slowly lowered his gaze to Eleanor Valerius.
"I didn’t do it for you; it was a Ford Family matter."
His gaze and voice were as cold and firm.
The unruly little fox he wouldn’t care for anymore.
Eleanor Valerius was stunned, her frantic heartbeat seemingly suddenly stopped.
She understood Sebastian Ford’s look, observing his decisive leaving figure made her feel inexplicably stuck and uncomfortable.
It was over!
Sebastian Ford wanted to sever ties, no longer being her lover!
Regina Jennings hadn’t left, watching her and confirming, "Are you sure Young Master Donovan’s incident has nothing to do with you?"
"Mom, no incident can escape Master Ford’s eyes; he said it had nothing to do with me."
Eleanor Valerius smiled and deceived Regina Jennings.
Now Sebastian Ford wanted to cut ties with her.
"That’s fine, I’ll call Jenson to pick you up from the hospital."
Eleanor Valerius didn’t refuse.
But before Jenson Lancaster came to pick her up, she proactively messaged Sebastian Ford.
Afterward, she anxiously waited in the hospital room.
When Jenson Lancaster arrived, she felt rather disappointed.
"Let’s wait a bit longer, I still have questions for the doctor."
Eleanor Valerius lingered, refusing to leave.
Until she heard steady footsteps approaching, she immediately ran to the door with joyful expectation to greet.
