Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 144: Master Ford, You Really Fell for Her

Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Master Ford, You Really Fell for Her

Eleanor Valerius looked at Sebastian Ford uneasily.

"Master Ford... why are you here?"

She had never told him the secret of how Regina Jennings had threatened her at the Valerius Family.

Sebastian Ford was always in sync with the rules of their mutually beneficial game, why would he suddenly cross the line?

At this moment, Eleanor Valerius cautiously walked towards him, with some hesitations.

Sebastian Ford suppressed his hidden anger, glaring at her panicked expression, and deliberately boasted in the face of Damian Lowell: "My back hurts, I’m here to see a doctor, you should be very concerned, right?"

In front of his rival, he couldn’t resist such childish boasting.

Back pain...

His stamina was such that it would never hurt no matter how indulgent!

Eleanor Valerius felt speechless and embarrassed. After knowing that Damian Lowell might be Vincent, it felt even more shameful for him to overhear her ambiguous relationship with Sebastian Ford.

"...So was meeting you here, Master Ford, just a coincidence?"

She paused her steps, looking at Sebastian Ford with a probing expression.

The most terrifying thing was being unable to guess his intentions.

"Of course it was a coincidence."

Sebastian Ford’s eyes were filled with anger, yet he was smiling.

He had promised not to intervene in Eleanor Valerius’s affairs actively.

However, when Mason Monroe informed her to return to the company, she chose to ignore and avoid it.

He finally couldn’t help but uncover easily accessible information about Eleanor Valerius and learned that her twin sister, Chloe Valerius, was having surgery here.

Her sister was the reason she stayed at the Valerius Family.

If he snatched this reason from Regina Jennings’s hands, would Eleanor Valerius have to obediently listen to him from now on?

He could save her, and he could control her.

But would a fox with a golden chain still be as interesting?

He didn’t want to let himself continue to lose control, nor did he want to become the wolf that imprisoned her, at least not yet.

"Lawyer Lowell’s presence here is also a coincidence, it seems this hospital has good feng shui, I’m considering whether to buy it."

The obsessive danger in Sebastian Ford’s eyes frightened Eleanor Valerius.

Indeed!

He was here to warn her, to catch her weakness. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Because secretly having feelings was already a fatal weakness.

Now that even her sister’s issue was discovered by Sebastian Ford, when he truly got angry, it would be all too easy for him to imprison her.

"The Ford Family has a private hospital, Master Ford doesn’t need to buy this one."

"Meeting you and Lawyer Lowell here is worth buying it."

Sebastian Ford wasn’t going to leave so easily.

At this moment, Eleanor Valerius held her breath, wanting to escape and avoid.

"It’s surprising how much Mr. Ford pays attention to me, I’m very familiar with the consulting doctors here, since Mr. Ford is unwell, don’t delay the checkup and treatment."

Damian Lowell sidestepped intentionally to block Eleanor Valerius from Sebastian Ford’s sight.

At this moment, Sebastian Ford was very dissatisfied with the distance Eleanor Valerius maintained from him.

He was even more provoked by Damian Lowell’s words and laughed.

"Lawyer Lowell shouldn’t delay his own checkup and treatment either. My status is different, I need someone to take care of me in the hospital. Be it a niece or Assistant Valerius, no one is more suitable than her."

He wasn’t sure if Eleanor Valerius’s rebelliousness today was due to Damian Lowell’s presence.

Sebastian Ford was here to take her away.

"Miss Valerius clearly has personal matters today, Mr. Ford, it’s not appropriate to bully others with your power."

Damian Lowell did not back down, looking toward the Ford Family’s bodyguards standing not far away with a half-smile, suggesting: "Mr. Ford clearly has people by his side, it’s still inappropriate to cling to Miss Valerius, especially as a senior, you should set an example."

Chloe’s surgery was that important, Eleanor was surely worried.

Yet Sebastian Ford had never respected her.

"Oh? Does Lawyer Lowell have the Mind Reading Technique? Do you know what she’s thinking?"

Sebastian Ford squinted his eyes sinisterly, gesturing toward Eleanor Valerius.

"Come, I want to hear your answer too."

Eleanor Valerius took a deep breath, and as she stepped closer, Sebastian Ford grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled her behind him.

However, Damian Lowell saw his action and also grabbed Eleanor Valerius’s other hand.

"..."

Eleanor Valerius was forced into a standoff, with strong grips on both sides.

Why did she have to choose?

She didn’t want to choose anyone!

"Please let go, Lawyer Lowell, don’t interfere in our Ford Family’s matters."

"This isn’t the Ford Family, this is just a hospital."

The explosive air between Sebastian Ford and Damian Lowell was palpable.

Especially with Eleanor Valerius standing in the middle.

In a battlefield of three, there’s always one too many.

However, she knew how terrifying the consequences of angering Sebastian Ford could be.

Eleanor Valerius gently freed Damian Lowell’s hand, made a choice, and smiled as she said, "I will, of course, take care of Master Ford myself, so I won’t trouble Lawyer Lowell any longer."

As she spoke, she deliberately moved closer to Sebastian Ford.

Damian Lowell’s expression turned sour, knowing Eleanor Valerius chose Sebastian Ford out of fear.

"Very well, Miss Valerius isn’t an outsider to the Ford Family, whatever happens, I’m sure Mr. Ford can make decisions for you."

Only Mr. Ford within the Ford Family could restrain Sebastian Ford.

Eleanor Valerius understood his words, but she didn’t dare.

After all, she was the one who seduced him first.

"Rest assured, Lawyer Lowell, my person will come with me."

Sebastian Ford chuckled darkly, then led Eleanor Valerius away.

Behind them, Damian Lowell struggled to control his growing furious hatred.

For the Lowell Family, for Eleanor.

Sebastian Ford deserved to die!

...

Eleanor Valerius was taken by Sebastian Ford to a secluded corner of the hospital.

Her breathing and heartbeat were erratic, worried that Sebastian Ford might punish her again.

However, Sebastian Ford merely stood close to her, looking down and scrutinizing her.

"When does Assistant Valerius plan to return to the company?"

"Huh?"

He doesn’t ask about Damian Lowell or her sister’s affairs?

Eleanor Valerius blinked bewilderedly, cautiously gauging his expression, and replied, "Tomorrow. Is Master Ford really suffering from back pain?"

"Hmm, come to the company tomorrow to give me a massage."

Was this... a sign of settling old scores?

Eleanor Valerius noted his reminder, mentally preparing for the increasingly challenging task of appeasing him.

"Alright."

"See you tomorrow."

Sebastian Ford surprisingly left without laying a hand or saying more to her!

Which only made Eleanor Valerius even more anxious.

Leaving the hospital.

Sebastian Ford used Sinclair Family business as an excuse to also call Damian Lowell away from the hospital.

He wouldn’t give Damian Lowell a chance to cling to Eleanor Valerius.

Today’s direct confrontation exuded a sharp murderous intent.

In the afternoon, a report came from the Ford Family’s bodyguards.

Wayne Wainwright and Nathan Kendrick had both arrived.

"Master Ford, within Aethelgard, there are dark forces stirring, clearly targeting you."

"The remnants of the Lowell Family can’t sit still."

Sebastian Ford’s expression was dark, thinking of the unabashed hatred in Damian Lowell’s eyes, he sneered: "Last time they failed to assassinate me, they actually grew cautious. Jasper Sinclair left Aethelgard, and I don’t care if the Lowell Family’s revenge involves the Sinclair Family.

Damian Lowell and the Ford Family’s threats hide in the shadows, I should cooperate and give them another chance to try and kill me."

"Brother, are you planning to act as bait and lure the snake out of its hole?"

Nathan Kendrick was shocked, shaking his head to dissuade him: "It’s too risky, the Lowell family can’t possibly threaten the Ford Family in Aethelgard, there’s no need to handle him so hastily."

"I can’t stand Damian Lowell, I’m not patient enough to wait."

Sebastian Ford confessed, new and old grudges meant this troublesome rival couldn’t be left!

Nathan Kendrick begged Wayne Wainwright with his eyes to try and advise him.

In the end, Wayne Wainwright saw through everything with a glance.

"If I remember correctly, the initial bait was Eleanor Valerius, wasn’t it? Master Ford, if you’re setting a trap, why are you reluctant to use her and want to draw them out yourself?"

"Shut up!"

Sebastian Ford was furious and ashamed.

Wayne Wainwright laughed mischievously, remembering who had sworn they would never truly fall for someone?
