Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 576: Congratulations to Mrs. Nie on Her Graduation
Because she always thought her other half would also be someone younger than her.
But in the end, she miscalculated.
Clement Luther surrounded her with habits.
She got used to Clement Luther’s presence, and also used to his care.
Vivian Sutton pouted, "Don’t worry, focus on your work!"
"I will remember that I’m a married woman!"
After that, the three continued to chat for a while, talking about the past and the future.
After a while, when the chat was almost over, Selena Kensington received a call from Sterling Norwood.
Selena Kensington answered the phone with a smile, "Hey, Sterling."
"Is it over?"
Sterling Norwood’s deep voice came through.
Selena Kensington glanced at Vivian Sutton and Clement Luther, asking with her eyes.
The two seemed very familiar with this look of Selena Kensington and nodded tacitly.
Selena Kensington replied to Sterling Norwood, "It’s over, where are you?"
"Parking lot outside the school."
"OK, I’m coming over."
After speaking with Sterling Norwood, Selena Kensington hung up the phone.
She stood up, "My husband has come to pick me up, so I’ll leave first?"
Vivian Sutton waved her hand, "Go on, go on, I’ll take a walk with Clement on campus."
Selena Kensington nodded, "Alright, take your time walking."
Then, Selena Kensington turned and left the artificial lakeside.

Selena Kensington walked to the school’s parking lot and started looking for Sterling Norwood.
After searching for a while, she saw Sterling Norwood leaning against the car door.
Selena Kensington immediately jogged over.
When she ran over, she noticed Sterling Norwood holding a bouquet of flowers.
The bouquet seemed freshly picked, incredibly vibrant.
It even had dewdrops on it.
"Congrats to Mrs. Norwood on graduating."
Sterling Norwood presented the flowers to her.
His eyes carried a smile, his voice was gentle and deep.
His tone was so gentle that it was hard not to indulge in it.
Selena Kensington couldn’t help but smile, accepting the bouquet from Sterling Norwood.
She held them up to smell.
Then she came to Sterling Norwood’s side, stood on tiptoe, and gave him a gentle peck on the lips, "Thank you, Mr. Norwood."
Selena Kensington’s voice was soft and warm, as sweet as if soaked in honey.
"Home?"
Sterling Norwood slightly lowered his head, looking at Selena Kensington.
"Home!"
Selena Kensington held the bouquet and replied with a smile.

After the graduation ceremony, Sterling Norwood seemed to become busy.
At least, he was no longer staying at the main house as often as before.
And Selena Kensington also started preparing to attend the national banquet.
This time, for the national banquet, Selena Kensington chose the ’Crane Above the Landscape’ designed by Lynn Rhodes.
On the evening of the national banquet, Selena Kensington changed into ’Crane Above the Landscape’, did her makeup, and headed to the Kensington Family to go to the banquet with Hugh Kensington.
The venue for the national banquet was at The Empire Banquet Hall.
When Selena Kensington and Hugh Kensington arrived, they saw the grand and solemn interior of the venue.
"Did Director Carter also come?"
Upon stepping into the venue of the national banquet, Selena Kensington immediately spotted Quentin Carter.
Hugh Kensington quietly mentioned, "Director Carter is one of the main advocates of the Literary Heart Project."
Hearing Hugh Kensington’s words, a flash of understanding crossed Selena Kensington’s eyes.
The siblings walking into the venue naturally attracted quite a few glances.
Many who were familiar with them had already come up to greet them.
After chatting with those people for a while, they sat down on a sofa to the side.
"Did you see Mrs. Hill?"
Selena Kensington asked Hugh Kensington beside her.
Hugh Kensington shook his head slightly, but his gaze turned to a room slightly open on the second floor.
"Those important figures should still be in the lounge upstairs."
Hugh Kensington pointed to that room on the second floor.
Selena Kensington followed his gaze and saw indeed some people sitting inside.
"Did you bring the pocket watch?"
Selena Kensington asked.
Hugh Kensington nodded slightly, "Don’t worry, I’ve got it."
"Later, let’s find an opportunity to chat with Mrs. Hill alone."
During the conversation between Hugh Kensington and Selena Kensington, the room on the second floor was fully opened.
Silas Sinclair, Mrs. Hill, and a few leaders of The Empire came out from inside.
As they descended the stairs, people in the hall turned their attention towards them and began to clap.
Selena Kensington and Hugh Kensington also stood up from the sofa.
Mrs. Hill, accompanied by Silas Sinclair and some high-ranking officials, approached to greet those people one by one.
Selena Kensington and Hugh Kensington did not rush forward, waiting until the crowd around Mrs. Hill lessened.
However, to their surprise, after chatting with people around her for a while, Mrs. Hill proactively walked towards them.
The siblings exchanged a glance.
Mrs. Hill approached with a gentle smile, "Mrs. Norwood, Mr. Kensington, we meet again."
A staff member accompanied Mrs. Hill.
Selena Kensington greeted Mrs. Hill with her usual expression, "Yes, what a coincidence indeed."
"It’s a bit stuffy inside, why don’t we chat outside on the balcony?"
Upon hearing Selena Kensington’s suggestion, a hint of surprise flickered in Mrs. Hill’s eyes.
Then, as if recalling something, her gentle expression did not change, "That would be nice."
Subsequently, the three of them walked towards the balcony.
The accompanying staff member wanted to follow them in, but Mrs. Hill stopped him outside the balcony.
"Wait for us outside."
The staff naturally did not oppose Mrs. Hill’s orders and slightly bowed upon hearing her words.
"Yes, ma’am."
Then, Mrs. Hill walked out onto the balcony.
Once Mrs. Hill stepped onto the balcony, Selena Kensington asked her with a smile.
"I wonder if Mrs. Hill has ever heard of... Nancy Kensington?"
Mrs. Hill’s eyes wavered, a strange glint flashed through them.
However, her expression didn’t change much, "I’ve never heard of her."
Selena Kensington and Hugh Kensington exchanged a glance, seeing the confusion in each other’s eyes.
What’s going on?
Why would Mrs. Hill not acknowledge it?
Hugh Kensington gritted his teeth slightly and took out the pocket watch.
"Does this look familiar to you, ma’am?"
"..."
This time, Mrs. Hill didn’t have the courage to keep pretending.
With trembling hands, she took the pocket watch from Hugh Kensington, carefully tracing the ’Lupaan’ mark engraved on the back.
She sighed lightly and looked back.
No one was paying attention over here.
She returned the pocket watch to Hugh Kensington.
"When did you find out?"
Mrs. Hill asked.
Hearing this question, Selena Kensington realized she had admitted it.
So, Selena Kensington began to explain, "Previously, we inherited our father’s belongings, where we found this pocket watch."
"Afterward, Hugh went to the Watch City and discovered the meaning of this mark and our father’s identity."
"Later, I found out about our grandparents’ true identity in the Empire’s archives, and because you look so much like grandma, aunt, after comparing for a while, we started to have some suspicions."
"Just now, we were simply confirming our suspicions."
Selena Kensington explained everything.
Mrs. Hill’s eyes wavered, and she hastily looked up, "What did you just call me?"
Selena Kensington was perplexed but still answered Mrs. Hill’s question.
