Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 91: Exposing Uncle’s Forbidden Affair!

Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Exposing Uncle’s Forbidden Affair!
"What?! Was it Sebastian who injured you like this last night?"
Sophia Ford didn’t doubt her son’s accusation at all. She immediately glared at Sebastian Ford, questioning, "Sebastian! You’re Julian’s uncle, what did he do wrong that you’d harm him like this! Are you trying to kill my son?"
The hospital room and hall were both crowded with people.
Everyone wanted to gossip about what was going wrong inside the Ford Family.
Eleanor Valerius was hiding outside the crowd, so anxious she held her breath.
Indeed!
Julian Ford saw Sebastian Ford carrying her away at that time.
He didn’t mention her name, probably fearing that Grandpa would find out about his dirty deeds.
However, if Julian Ford found out about her relationship with Sebastian, it would be a terrifying ticking bomb for her.
Sebastian Ford squinted his eyes, lighting a cigarette with an ambiguous smile.
Neither denying nor explaining, his attitude was vague.
Even Eleanor Valerius didn’t know how Sebastian Ford would respond or resolve the issue.
"Sebastian! By staying silent, does that mean Julian wasn’t lying, and you did truly try to kill my son?"
Sophia Ford questioned him belligerently.
Then, she signaled Byron Ford with her eyes, implying they should join forces against a common enemy.
Byron Ford immediately caught on, his face tightened as he added, "Third Brother, you are wrong here. Julian is our dear nephew. Even if he did something that infuriated you, you should have let Big Sister handle it, instead of beating him like this."
"Nonsense! Sebastian couldn’t possibly do such a thing!"
Mr. Ford knitted his brows, questioning.
"Dad, you can’t always be biased towards Sebastian!"
Sophia Ford couldn’t count on her husband Owen Shaw to have the courage to speak out.
Seeing her son beaten and appearing fearful and cowardly, her attitude became even stronger.
"Sebastian, you are the head of the Ford Family now; no one dares contest that. It’s fine if you disregard me as your elder sister, but I absolutely will not allow you to harm my child; you must give me an explanation for this!"
Sophia Ford’s aggressive questioning brought the matter to the forefront of the Ford Family.
This was no longer a mere family affair, but a major issue where the identity and actions of Sebastian Ford as the Family Head were being questioned.
The hospital room suddenly fell silent.
At this moment, Eleanor Valerius looked anxiously at Sebastian Ford, who was leisurely smoking.
He was exposed because he came to rescue her.
If he had been even a moment later, even if she wasn’t forced by Julian Ford, her body would have been seen by everyone online.
Though she was the victim, due to her position, she had to endure false allegations from Julian Ford, who acted as the perpetrator.
"Sebastian, what’s truly going on?"
Mr. Ford also spoke up, demanding Sebastian Ford to explain.
"Ha."
Sebastian Ford chuckled lightly, extinguishing his cigarette, rising slowly, and walked towards Julian Ford, looking down at him with an oppressively condescending gaze.
"You’re saying the person who attacked you last night was me? Then what were you doing at the time? What was I doing? Do you have any evidence?"
"I... I don’t have any, but I saw you, Uncle..."
Julian Ford stammered, his eyes evasive, his words filled with concealment.
He had no evidence, and he didn’t dare to mention Eleanor Valerius.
Hence, his accusation against his uncle lacked logic and context.
"Sebastian, Julian saw you with his own eyes, that’s the evidence!"
Sophia Ford stood in front of her son, using it as an opportunity to attack.
"What a nice fabrication of baseless accusations!"
Suddenly, Sebastian Ford slammed the table in fury, his gaze fierce and his voice chillingly cold, "If I didn’t have evidence to prove my innocence, wouldn’t Big Sister have convicted me today? I wasn’t even present at the hotel where Julian was attacked last night."
Immediately, he contacted Mason Monroe to deliver evidence.
"There are surveillance videos from the company’s office, the time I signed documents for the hotel project, and even dashboard camera footage recording my return to the villa."
The preceding silence was a deliberate wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
Eleanor Valerius breathed a sigh of relief.
No wonder he’s the one; fabricating evidence quickly and logically.
Sebastian Ford looked at Julian Ford in anger, questioning, "You’re adamant that I beat you, then tell me why I would hit you? The doctor said you hit your head; it seems your injury is severe enough that you’re experiencing memory confusion and babbling nonsense?"
"Uncle, I..."
Julian Ford was so guilty he began to doubt his own memory.
After all, he had never seen an affair between Uncle and Eleanor Valerius; it seemed impossible to him!
Seizing the momentum to counter, Sebastian Ford, using his identity as the Ford Family Head, rebuked, "Big Sister and Second Brother always seem intent on catching my mistakes, even using fabricated charges. Is it because you’re still bitter and resentful regarding when I took over as Family Head?"
Sophia Ford and Byron Ford’s silent but conniving intentions were indeed humiliatingly exposed by Sebastian Ford in public.
"Third Brother, I didn’t mean it like that, it’s just that Big Sister loves her son dearly; her words don’t represent me."
Byron Ford immediately smilingly distanced himself from the alliance.
Sophia Ford knew she couldn’t rely on him, her attitude remained assertive, "I trust Julian wouldn’t falsely accuse you..."
"Big Sister still trusts him?"
Suddenly, Sebastian Ford interrupted her, exasperatedly expressing, "Before coming here, I had already investigated. The hotel mentioned Julian Ford frequently reserves rooms, and each time he brings different women over, some even in an unconscious state.
Julian isn’t speaking the truth because he fears others discovering his lustful ways of provoking women who already have partners; if he got beaten, he deserved the retribution."
Julian Ford’s fearful expression as his deeds are exposed.
"Big Sister, I didn’t speak up for the sake of the Ford Family’s reputation. Yet, didn’t expect Julian Ford to disguise his crime by shamelessly blaming me, absurdly warping the truth!"
Sebastian Ford revealed the truth he had processed, thoroughly cutting off Julian Ford’s chance to speak about Eleanor Valerius.
He wouldn’t let Julian Ford affect Eleanor Valerius’s reputation again.
Most importantly, he had prepared a grave accusation against Julian Ford for falsely implicating an elder and the Ford Family Head.
"Uncle, how would I dare malign you, last night... last night I hit my head and mistakenly spoke."
Julian Ford suddenly kneeled on the bed, panic-stricken, admitting fault and apologizing.
"Scoundrel!"
At this moment, Mr. Ford was infuriated, rushing forward to strike Julian Ford heavily with his cane.
"How could our Ford Family produce something like you! Indulgent and insolent, disgracing the family name, yet dared to slander an elder!"
"Grandpa... ah, stop hitting, it hurts!"
Julian Ford wailed miserably, trying to dodge the blows.
"Dad, you’ll beat him to death!"
At this moment, Sophia Ford still wanted to protect her son, but was blocked by Owen Shaw and moved aside.
"Get out of my way! This is the good son you raised!"
Mr. Ford, still seething, cursed, "I never imagined our Ford Family would produce a degenerate like in the Donovan Family! Since your mother can’t teach you, you’ll be confined to learn the family’s rules all over again! Anyone daring to plea for him will face severe punishment too!"
Back in his heyday in the business world, Mr. Ford’s methods were fierce.
Though aged now, his ability in physical punishment was such that Julian Ford could peacefully lie in the hospital for a month.
Especially under the public’s scrutiny, Julian Ford’s dignity was thoroughly torn apart.
Then, Sebastian Ford’s gaze pierced through the crowd, gentle, looking at Eleanor Valerius.
Eleanor Valerius was looking at him as well, wearing a mask, her eyes curved into a smile.
Witnessing Julian Ford’s unilateral beating was indeed very satisfying.
Plus, the Ford Family rules awaited him, his time wouldn’t be pleasant.
She knew Sebastian Ford was protecting her, preserving their affair.
