Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 104: Eleanor Valerius Is the Sinclair Family’s Real Daughter

Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Eleanor Valerius Is the Sinclair Family’s Real Daughter

Eleanor Valerius struggled bitterly; even though she was now hiding in The Devil’s embrace for warmth, she had no desire to escape.

"I’ll be back right now."

Sebastian Ford paused and asked, "What’s wrong with your voice? Are you crying? Who bullied you?"

"No one."

Eleanor Valerius didn’t expect Sebastian Ford to be so keen and attentive.

"With Master Ford around, no one can bully me, except you."

From her words, Sebastian Ford sensed an infinite reliance.

He was unexpectedly moved by her, unrelated to anything else.

...

Eleanor Valerius returned to the office.

"Second Young Master Sinclair arrived in Aethelgard today, and next, the Ford Family will be hosting him, discussing cooperation matters."

Sebastian Ford handed her the Sinclair Family’s information, entrusting her with significant responsibility: "Assistant Valerius, if you want a bonus, you’ll have to continue participating in the project, slowly study it, know yourself and the enemy."

"Alright."

Eleanor Valerius took the materials and sat on the sofa, gradually flipping through them.

The Sinclair Family is a wealthy dynasty in Aldoria, matching the financial power and influence of the Ford Family in Aethelgard.

Many years ago, after the passing of the Sinclair patriarch, the eldest son took over.

Unexpectedly, the eldest Sinclair passed away due to illness, and the major power was handed over to the second son, Jasper Sinclair.

In such affluent families, there are always internal factions battling for power, with Jasper Sinclair having Damian Lowell by his side; together, they stabilized the Sinclair Family’s position in Aldoria.

Up to this point.

Eleanor Valerius considered herself an outsider.

She never thought she would have any connection to the Sinclair Family.

The Sinclair family tree only mentioned Mrs. Sinclair named Serena, she had no idea that was her mother’s name.

Miss Langdon.

Serena.

She and Chloe’s biological mother is Mrs. Sinclair, Serena Langdon.

...

Jasper Sinclair arrived in Aethelgard by private jet, with major news outlets reporting.

He rejected all invitations, first meeting Damian Lowell at a restaurant.

"Actually, I’ve visited Aethelgard many times. When my parents were going through a divorce, my mother left Aldoria and lived here. But I never found her; all I learned was that she gave birth to a daughter in a hospital back then. Until now, both my mother and sister remain missing."

Jasper Sinclair, a few years older than Damian Lowell, in a tailored suit, exuded elegance and nobility.

"I believe if fate wills it, we will meet again."

Damian Lowell clinked glasses with him, observing him gently rub a White Jade Pendant on his hand.

"Is this a Sinclair heirloom? May I see it?"

Jasper Sinclair handed it over, sipping wine as he spoke: "My mother was very proud. When she decided to divorce, she didn’t take anything from the Sinclair Family, except this one Jade Pendant. I considered the possibility that she might have passed away, but in Aethelgard, there’s no tombstone engraved with ’Serena Langdon."

Before my father and older brother left, they were deeply concerned about my mother and the sister lost outside; I must find her and bring her back to the Sinclair Family."

Damian Lowell had never seen this Jade Pendant.

"Are you sure Miss Sinclair is in Aethelgard?"

"My mother didn’t bring her back to Aldoria to find us; there are two possibilities: either my mother is living with her or my mother has passed away, and my sister is unaware of her lineage."

Jasper Sinclair sighed subtly, softly saying, "Aside from discussing cooperation with the Ford Family, I also want to slowly check with the hospital. My sister should be 21 years old now; she and I are the only remaining blood relatives in this world."

But he was unaware that Serena Langdon gave birth to twins at the hospital.

Years of fate’s twists never led to reunion.

"Damian, have you found the girl you liked back then in Aethelgard?"

Jasper Sinclair was unaware of Damian Lowell’s revenge plan.

"I found her."

Mentioning this, Damian Lowell’s smile grew gentle.

He displays different faces in front of different people, and at present, Lawyer Lowell relies on the Sinclair Family.

"I’m temporarily unrecognizable to her, but I believe she will wait for me. When I have the ability to take her away, I can protect her well."

Damian Lowell can’t allow personal feelings to interfere with his revenge plan.

Ultimately, he chose the latter between Eleanor Valerius and revenge.

...

As night fell, a grand investment auction banquet was underway.

Sebastian Ford attended with Eleanor Valerius.

To avoid suspicion, Eleanor Valerius maintained a superior-subordinate distance with him.

Sebastian Ford’s black suit and her beige professional ensemble were a visually pleasant match.

After entering.

Sebastian Ford’s status as a lofty paragon brought various business partners over to socialize with raised glasses.

This was considered a work occasion, and Eleanor Valerius retained her identity as Assistant Valerius.

She wanted to remain low-key, but her beautiful face and identity as the third Miss of the Valerius Family couldn’t keep her low-profile.

Recently the Aethelgard circle had two topics of discussion regarding Eleanor Valerius.

"Eleanor Valerius uses familial connections to follow Master Ford, merely serving as a decorative vase."

"Rumor has it, it’s because she’s beside Lawyer Lowell, the Ford Family and Sinclair Family are inclined to collaborate — she’s definitely the most beautiful flower in the social circle."

"Indeed beautiful, enjoying the presence of the third Miss of the Valerius Family isn’t ordinary; Master Ford truly has an eye for investment."

No one really guessed the relationship between Eleanor Valerius and Sebastian Ford.

Meanwhile, other social debutantes also gossiped about her.

"Everyone knows Eleanor Valerius’ fiancé is in the hospital for impotence; she’s so eager to find a new man, she can’t go a night without one."

"If not for her skills in bed, Master Ford wouldn’t keep her around, her pretenses of working — who believes her?!"

Since she maintained a short distance from Sebastian Ford.

Eleanor Valerius could hear the chatter, but Sebastian Ford didn’t.

Despite the mockery, she wouldn’t belittle herself.

Being born into the Valerius Family wasn’t her choice; everything she held now was fought for by herself!

"Miss Valerius."

Suddenly, a gentle voice echoed beside her.

Eleanor Valerius turned to see Damian Lowell, smiling politely: "Lawyer Lowell, did you come with Second Young Master Sinclair?"

"Yes, the Second Young Master will arrive a bit later."

Damian Lowell’s handsome stature incited jealousy and resentment among nearby debutantes toward Eleanor Valerius.

"I didn’t expect Mr. Ford would bring his assistant."

Hearing others disparage Eleanor Valerius, he felt more pain for her constrained position beside Sebastian Ford.

"Lawyer Lowell also thinks I don’t deserve to be here, right?"

Eleanor Valerius calmly queried him.

Just as Damian Lowell was about to explain her misunderstanding, another low voice interrupted.

"Assistant Valerius, why are you so far away from me?"

Sebastian Ford lazily squinted; his words immediately drew everyone’s gaze toward Eleanor Valerius.

"Your work ability surpasses Assistant Monroe; without you by my side, I’d struggle to manage tonight’s matters."

Eleanor Valerius almost couldn’t suppress her laughter.

Would Mr. Ford dare say this to Assistant Monroe?

"Yes, I’m coming."

Her steps moved toward Sebastian Ford.

At this moment, Sebastian Ford removed the White Jade Ring from his left hand and handed it to her, softly saying: "Keep it for me."

The crowd gasped in astonishment.

Who didn’t know Third Master Ford’s Jade Ring was never parted from him?

What was Eleanor Valerius’ true identity by his side?
