Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 163: Being Mrs. Ford Is Better Than Being Mrs. Lowell!

Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Being Mrs. Ford Is Better Than Being Mrs. Lowell!

Sebastian Ford was fed up with his own lack of control. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Today at the hospital, carrying a tumult of emotions, it ended with him just wanting to see her.

Yesterday, he could agree to Eleanor Valerius leaving because he was confident he could let her go.

The Ford Family is facing internal and external troubles, with too many matters that need his handling.

Personal feelings should be the least important.

Yet, Eleanor Valerius was like a tiny thorn piercing his heart.

Faintly painful, unable to remove nor ignore.

"Uncle, did you even hear me? Why is Eleanor Valerius clinging to Lawyer Lowell? Is it because she’s broken off the engagement and wants to find a new target? Didn’t you say you would personally manage her? Why doesn’t she ever listen to you!"

Julia Ford sobbed as she complained.

She had intended to chase after to question them, but was stopped by the security outside.

All she could do was watch Eleanor Valerius sit inside Damian Lowell’s car, taking her place.

"Yes, it was my mistake."

Sebastian Ford’s voice was tight and low.

He was wrong to allow Eleanor Valerius to unilaterally end the game of separation.

No wonder he couldn’t let it go; how could the dignified Master Ford be dumped by a woman!

Now it was normal for him not to want to end things, because he was angry and wanted to punish her, it was a reason to meet her.

What’s more, Damian Lowell was still the remnant of the Lowell Family who wanted to kill him.

"Huh? Uncle, it’s not like you to have to admit mistakes."

Julia Ford was suddenly panicked, thinking her uncle seemed unusually good to her recently?

The favored niece didn’t even know how to cry.

"Send me the location, I’m going now."

With dangerous squinted eyes, Sebastian Ford decided to personally ask Eleanor Valerius if she truly intended to change marriage partners!

...

When Eleanor Valerius got out of the car, she nearly vomited with her hand over her mouth.

Whether due to emotional issues or an unwell body, her reactions in early pregnancy were rather severe.

"Eleanor... Miss Valerius, are you okay?"

Damian Lowell frowned, seeing her discomfort but not daring to touch her.

"I’m fine, just a bit carsick."

Eleanor Valerius protectively cradled her abdomen with her arms, not mentioning her pregnancy to anyone.

Afterward, she followed Damian Lowell to his law firm’s office.

"Good evening, Lawyer Lowell."

Despite the hour, many employees were still working overtime there.

On the surface, they were handling the Sinclair Family’s legal documents, but in reality, they were preparing the Lowell Family’s revenge plan.

Thus, when they saw Eleanor Valerius there, their gazes held hidden meanings.

"Rest in my office first, I’ll pour you a glass of water."

"Okay, thank you."

Eleanor Valerius glanced around the unfamiliar office and noticed nothing out of the ordinary.

Separated by a door.

Damian Lowell headed to the break room to fetch hot water.

At this moment, his assistant and bodyguard from the Lowell Family, Harry Nash, whispered, "Young master, is she the woman around Sebastian Ford? Did you bring her here as a hostage, or to use her to trap Sebastian Ford?"

Hearing this, Damian Lowell immediately frowned and refused, "Don’t act recklessly, Eleanor is someone very important to me."

"But her relationship with Sebastian Ford isn’t simple. Our assassination attempt at the Hot Spring Villa failed, and now we’re constrained everywhere. If we could properly utilize her, we could target Sebastian Ford again, avenging the Lowell Family!"

When Harry Nash became agitated, he even wanted to directly act against Eleanor Valerius.

"Hold it!"

Damian Lowell instantly grew angry, restraining Harry Nash against the door, sternly warning, "In my eyes, Eleanor Valerius is not Sebastian Ford’s woman, that isn’t her label! I will not use her to scheme against Sebastian Ford; she is someone I want to protect.

I can avenge the Lowell Family by using Julia Ford, using Owen Shaw, but she is the only one you all cannot touch!"

"Young master, understood."

Harry Nash dared not act rashly, quelling his thoughts.

Yet, the deep-seated hatred of the Lowell Family weighed heavily on Damian Lowell.

Because his opponent was Sebastian Ford, he never imagined he’d face a future choice of a difficult balance.

A moment later.

Damian Lowell returned to the office with some warm water.

"Thank you."

Eleanor Valerius used his computer to print out all the evidence and information she had archived.

"I checked, Mrs. Croft is a major shareholder in the beauty parlor; besides her, the other wealthy wives aren’t hands-on. My second sister was a discarded pawn in Regina Jennings’ hand; the Donovan Family should first find Mrs. Croft and then use money to bribe Regina Jennings, but the Donovan Family has already returned to Emberfall, and this is my final target."

"The information is very detailed, what’s your intended action?"

Damian Lowell looked at her gently, with more anticipation and approval.

"The case of my second sister’s suicide can’t be reopened by the police; to expose Mrs. Croft and Regina Jennings, I need to completely dismantle their illegal use of the beauty parlor for sexual bribery transactions.

Regina Jennings manages and indoctrinates the girls locked in the basement, while Mrs. Croft resents Regina Jennings due to my retaliation; if they turn on each other, there’s a chance."

Eleanor Valerius shared her idea with Damian Lowell, seeking his advice from a lawyer’s perspective.

"Mrs. Croft cares most about her husband and daughter; tomorrow night, there’s a private party sponsored by the Croft Family, Mrs. Croft will certainly use the indoctrinated girls. I need to infiltrate for investigation, requiring new witnesses and more concrete evidence."

"Tomorrow night, I’ll take you to the party; don’t be afraid, we will seek justice together."

Damian Lowell finally had the opportunity to advance and retreat alongside Eleanor Valerius.

...

The elevator descended.

Damian Lowell escorted Eleanor Valerius home.

However, when the elevator doors opened.

Their line of sight was unexpectedly confronted with the sight of Sebastian Ford lazily leaning against the wall, smoking.

Clearly, Sebastian Ford had been waiting here for a long time.

Behind the swirling smoke, his dangerous, gloomy gaze was fixed on Eleanor Valerius.

"What are you doing here?"

Eleanor Valerius didn’t have time to stop her steps before Damian Lowell grabbed her arm, pulling her back into the elevator.

But the elevator doors wouldn’t close, with a Ford Family bodyguard pressing the button nearby.

Under Sebastian Ford’s dangerous gaze, he was fixated on Damian Lowell’s touch on Eleanor Valerius.

He extinguished the cigarette in his hand, his voice low and hoarse, "I have something to say to you, come here."

Eleanor Valerius found herself in a predicament.

Nonetheless, every time she felt an uncontrollable thrill around her heart, she’d coolly restrain herself from maintaining distance from Sebastian Ford.

"Master Ford, this is the third time I’ve seen you today."

Her eyes stared directly at him, her attitude indifferent as she queried, "Are you deliberately pestering me?"

The separation agreement as part of their game: didn’t they reach a consensus yesterday?

Wouldn’t Sebastian Ford acting so oddly indicate he had found out about her secret pregnancy!?

Thinking of this, Eleanor Valerius suddenly felt guilty, retreating further into the elevator.

Damian Lowell, capturing her demeanor, had even more reason to stand in front, preventing her from being threatened by Sebastian Ford.

"Master Ford, this isn’t the Ford Family’s place, and your words aren’t the law."

Unable to move the elevator, he directly instructed security to forcefully close the doors.

Seeing Eleanor Valerius’s retreat, crimson anger flared in Sebastian Ford’s eyes.

"Eleanor Valerius, wasn’t it you who proposed to me yesterday? I just haven’t agreed yet, but you should maintain your sincerity in proposing to me!"

As he spoke, Sebastian Ford suddenly stepped forward threateningly.

"Being Mrs. Ford surely beats being Mrs. Lowell; you don’t need to use him to provoke me, this is a private matter between us."

He reached out to grab Eleanor Valerius’s wrist, attempting to forcibly take her away.

At this moment, Damian Lowell, struck with shock and disbelief, refused to let go.

"Eleanor, are you going to marry Sebastian Ford?"

Hearing this, he was genuinely distressed and worried.

"Is Eleanor what you call her?"

Sebastian Ford’s expression sinisterly grew more dangerous.

Thus, Eleanor Valerius was forced to stand stiffly between the two men.

Her mind intended to resist Sebastian Ford, yet her body’s response lagged behind.

"You both..."

"She’s mine, Sebastian Ford’s!"

To everyone’s surprise, Sebastian Ford further advanced swiftly, pulling Eleanor Valerius tightly into his embrace.
