Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 571: Reunion with Esther Jennings

"What a pity..."

Hugh Kensington sighed.

Selena Kensington followed with a light chuckle.

It really was a pity.

Sidney Dalton was about to lose such a loyal confidant due to his own suspicion.

Since Sidney Dalton had directly arranged for someone to monitor that subordinate, it meant that the subordinate indeed knew quite a bit about him.

And this way...

Without them having to arrange anything, the person monitoring him would report these things on their own.

By then, whether the subordinate had actually betrayed him or not would no longer matter.

Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will eventually take root and grow.

Just as Sidney Dalton had said, things unfolded accordingly.

He was in the frustration of being defeated repeatedly by the Kensington siblings when he heard from below that his once loyal confidant had been getting close to Hugh Kensington recently.

Hugh had visited him multiple times.

This immediately alerted Sidney Dalton.

Although this wasn’t enough for him to believe that the subordinate had long since pledged allegiance to the Kensington siblings, it still made him suspicious.

After all, that confidant knew quite a bit of his secrets...

Later on, when the confidant personally called Sidney and informed him about Hugh’s visit, expressing his loyalty,

Sidney Dalton said on the surface that he believed him, yet secretly, the seed of suspicion began to take root and grow.

Selena Kensington chatted with Hugh for a while, then left Stardust and returned to the main house.

After returning to the main house, Selena didn’t have anything specific to do.

So, she continued to cultivate the Heavenly Master Power within her.

She sat cross-legged on the bed, closed her eyes, entering a meditative state.

As soon as her eyes went black, she entered that boundless space again.

Then she saw Esther Jennings.

"Great Aunt?"

Selena tried to call out.

The golden silhouette kept smiling at her, and because of her words, the corners of her mouth gently raised a bit.

Selena understood that she understood the meaning.

It seemed that Esther Jennings’ spiritual body had descended upon her and knew who she was.

Selena walked over and faced Esther Jennings.

"Great Aunt, what exactly did you encounter back then?"

Selena tried to ask.

Miles Goodman said Esther Jennings was once the hope of the Clan of Celestial Masters.

What is hope?

It meant that if Esther Jennings hadn’t died young, the Clan of Celestial Masters would have risen under her leadership.

Thus, the Clan of Celestial Masters was very grieved by the news of Esther Jennings’ death back then.

But as for how Esther Jennings actually died, the Clan of Celestial Masters chose to remain silent.

Even Miles didn’t know, so Selena could hardly know.

After asking this question, Esther Jennings’ silhouette held the same expression.

Selena thought for a moment, changing the question, "Great Aunt, do you know how to cultivate Heavenly Master Power?"

After asking this question, the golden silhouette in front of her smiled.

Then she replied, "Close your eyes, find the Heavenly Master Power, and let it wander with your consciousness through your limbs and bones..."

Hearing Esther Jennings’ answer, Selena understood.

This wisp of spiritual body can only answer some specific questions.

But Selena wasn’t discouraged and continued to ask some other questions of Esther Jennings.

...

When Selena opened her eyes again, she almost figured out what questions Esther Jennings would answer.

As long as it was questions about celestial masters and fell beasts, Esther Jennings would answer.

But if you asked her for information about her death and her past, she would remain like a still silhouette.

It seems that those powerful ancestors transformed into spiritual bodies to descend upon the bodies of their descendants.

Their main purpose was still to teach them how to master the Heavenly Master Power within them and understand the Clan of Celestial Masters.

After conversing with Esther Jennings, she could roughly understand the matters of the Clan of Celestial Masters.

A few days later.

Hugh Kensington brought up the topic of the Corinthia Film Festival with Selena.

"The Corinthia Film Festival is held once every three years. Eligible entries must be from works completed before June this year. We just qualify. Should we apply?"

Hugh asked.

Selena slightly raised her eyebrows and answered without thinking, "Sure, why not apply?"

The Corinthia Film Festival is currently one of the most prestigious film festivals globally, also considered one of the world’s three most famous film festivals.

The location is on the Isle of Cyrin in Vyland.

Moreover, the Corinthia Film Festival gathers outstanding film and television works from around the world.

If a work from The Empire is nominated, the media would lavish praise, and netizens would affirm it, believing it to glorify the nation.

"Got it."

Hugh already knew Selena would say this; he was just asking symbolically.

After asking this event, Hugh then brought up another matter.

"Oh, by the way."

"The Wenxin Project documents have been released, and I have Lynn Rhodes preparing the application materials for Spiritual Dress."

"Also, Radiance’s ’Cultural Relics Retrospect’ will air on Empire Central Television the day after tomorrow night."

Upon hearing Hugh’s words, Selena’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Empire Central Television is a significant platform with great traffic.

No wonder Radiance attaches so much importance to this collaboration. It seems the Empire has offered considerable benefits and treatment.

"Noted, keep following up on this."

"Alright."

Following this, Selena hung up the phone.

On the day ’Cultural Relics Retrospect’ aired, Selena dragged Sterling Norwood onto the couch to watch it together.

"Want some fruit?"

Sterling asked from the side.

Selena thought for a moment and nodded.

Then she added, "Watermelon!"

Upon hearing Selena’s request, Sterling instructed a nearby servant to prepare it.

Selena waited for the broadcast of ’Cultural Relics Retrospect,’ but it wasn’t time yet.

She checked the time; there were still thirty minutes to go.

Then she thought of the drama she hadn’t finished watching.

"It’s still early, shall we watch the unfinished drama?"

Selena blinked, her eyes sparkling brightly.

"I know you definitely want to see the next part too, right?!"

"So let’s watch it!"

Selena didn’t give Sterling a chance to speak, quickly making the decision for him.

"..."

Thus Sterling could only watch as Selena searched for ’XX Apartment,’ then clicked on the episode they hadn’t finished watching.

After doing so, Selena snuggled over.

"Hehe."

She laughed softly and then leaned her head on Sterling’s shoulder.

Sterling felt slightly helpless with her series of actions.

But he never opposed it.

When the servant brought over a plate of watermelon, Sterling raised the plate to feed Selena.

Selena enjoyed Sterling’s feeding while watching the drama.

She was in an exceptionally good mood.

Indeed, this is the bliss of a carefree life!

She tilted her head slightly and saw Sterling’s side profile.
