Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 424: Filming Continues

Selena Kensington listened to Hugh Kensington’s explanation and fell silent for a moment.

"So, you’re saying that the engraving behind Dad’s pocket watch is because his parents might already be gone?"

"What about the little girl in that photo...?..."

Perhaps at that time, their grandparents had no choice but to abandon Dad, fortunately picked up by the Kensington Family.

They might have been on the run, yet never imagined their child would face the same fate as theirs.

So... what exactly was their grandparents’ identity and background that made those people go to such lengths to hunt them down, even not sparing their child.

"I couldn’t find anything... The locals said such forms usually only circulate outside The Northern Realm, perhaps there might be clues there."

Selena Kensington smiled bitterly, "But outside The Northern Realm, how could such a large area be easily searched."

Moreover, so much time has passed, Connor Kensington’s sister—it’s still a question if she is alive...

Hugh Kensington on the other end of the phone remained silent.

Because he didn’t dare to promise Selena that he would definitely find her.

Selena sighed quietly, "It’s alright, we’ll just take it one step at a time."

"...Mm."

After that, Selena Kensington hung up the phone.

The clues surrounding the pocket watch... Could they end just like this?

Afterwards, Selena Kensington indeed rested at home for two days before Sterling Norwood let her go back to filming.

However...

Selena Kensington glanced at the person beside her.

With a somewhat helpless tone, "Do you really want to come with me?"

Two days had passed since that incident, yet Sterling Norwood still worried about her.

Today, as she headed to the film set, he insisted on tagging along.

Sterling Norwood didn’t answer her but showed his decision through actions.

Selena Kensington, resigned, had no choice but to get into the car with him and head to the film city.

When Selena Kensington appeared on set with Sterling Norwood, there was a moment of silence among the crew.

The crew members involuntarily stepped back a few paces.

Director Kensington, why did she bring her man along too?!

Seeing the crew’s reaction, Selena Kensington couldn’t help feeling a bit helpless.

But Sterling Norwood wouldn’t feel assured without following.

Therefore, to ease Sterling Norwood’s worries, she had no choice but to inconvenience the staff.

"Continue yesterday’s scenes."

Selena Kensington cleared her throat and spoke.

Then, she found a chair and placed it beside her.

She pressed Sterling Norwood down to sit in the chair, "Stay put here, don’t move around!"

After saying that, she ignored him.

She turned away to speak with the staff.

"..."

Selena Kensington focused on her work, even dropping her husband.

"Today, let’s shoot the scenes between Paloma Quinn and Rhys Kidd in The Valerion Kingdom’s Royal Capital."

"Sure, they’ve already gone to change costumes."

"Mm, are the extras ready?"

"They’re waiting on the side, ready to go on stage when filming begins."

"..."

After discussing with the crew, Selena Kensington returned to her seat.

Originally, there was the deputy director next to her, but the moment Sterling Norwood sat down, he immediately distanced himself.

"..."

Watching the deputy director now a few meters away, the corners of Selena Kensington’s mouth twitched slightly.

But she didn’t force them and sat down waiting for Sloane Hawthorne and Harvey Vance to appear.

Once she was seated, Sterling Norwood took her hand and placed it on his thigh, his fingertip sliding across her fingers, palm...

Though this action was subtle, Selena Kensington could always feel the faint tingling disrupting her thoughts.

Since Sloane Hawthorne and Harvey Vance hadn’t come out yet, Selena Kensington took the time to glance at him.

"Having fun?"

She asked him with a smile.

Yet a hint of threat lingered in her eyes.

Sterling Norwood seemed unaware of the threat in her eyes, blinking slightly, his gaze carrying an innocent tinge.

Selena Kensington was nearly amused by Sterling Norwood’s expression.

What’s with this, taking advantage and playing innocent?

Selena Kensington amusingly reached out with her other hand to pinch Sterling Norwood’s cheek.

Expectedly met with a firm feeling, she found it dull after a while and let go.

"That’s your punishment. Don’t bother me later during filming!"

Otherwise, with Sterling Norwood interfering beside her, Selena Kensington truly didn’t know if she could film properly.

Sterling Norwood chuckled softly, his eyes full of indulgence.

"......"

The spectators who endured this show of affection beside them silently kept to themselves.

Forced to witness their love, they couldn’t help but admire Director Kensington.

Only she dared to blatantly flirt and pinch Sterling Norwood’s face like that.

Nevertheless, due to Selena Kensington’s actions, the crew slowly realized Sterling Norwood wasn’t as intimidating.

The Empire’s first family head, wasn’t so scary and forbidding after all.

At least, with Selena Kensington around, he was as obedient as a puppy.

With this understanding, the crew stopped shrinking back in fear.

And the deputy director even dared to move his chair back.

Yet, he still chose to sit a meter away from Selena Kensington.

"... How are you going to see like that?"

Selena Kensington spoke to the deputy director somewhat helplessly.

The deputy director quickly replied, "No problem, I can see clearly from here."

"..."

Hearing the deputy director’s words, Selena Kensington didn’t insist further.

After a while, Harvey Vance and Sloane Hawthorne walked out in their costumes.

The moment they stepped out, they spotted Sterling Norwood sitting next to Selena Kensington and paused slightly.

Selena Kensington stood up and walked over.

"Sis, he..."

Sloane Hawthorne asked hurriedly.

Selena Kensington explained helplessly, "He was worried about me, so he followed along."

Sloane Hawthorne smiled, "Patriarch Norwood really loves you, sis."

After speaking, she seemed to recall something, her brows slightly furrowed.

Selena Kensington also smiled, knowing well, which is why she tolerated Sterling Norwood’s actions.

"Don’t feel pressured, focus on acting."

"Mm."

After conveying her advice, Selena Kensington returned to her original position.

"Action."

With the stage manager’s voice, Selena Kensington focused on the screen in front of her, watching the scene being performed.

This scene depicts the hidden confrontation between the two.

That day, Paloma Quinn successfully entered the Crown Prince’s Manor as a Dancing Girl.

On the night she entered the manor, she calculated Rhys Kidd’s route, pretending to practice dancing there, aiming to capture his attention.

Paloma Quinn’s intent from the start was impure.

She was a princess of Vorlag and also the Young General.

Her heart brimmed with staunch righteousness and deep-seated animosity for her nation.

She was colder and more ruthless than anyone.

She devised various plans to draw Rhys Kidd’s notice and flawlessly exhibited her talents.

Catching Rhys Kidd’s attention.

Ultimately, Paloma Quinn emerged from the Crown Prince’s Manor’s dancing girls and became one of Rhys Kidd’s Four Guards.
