Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 597: Look at You, Radiant from Love

Vivian Sutton’s mouth twitched slightly. "You don’t understand, among these contestants it’s a war without smoke."

"Not bad, you’re even using metaphors now..."

Selena Kensington joked.

"Selie! Selie!"

Vivian Sutton’s voice sounded, gritting her teeth.

Then the two of them playfully walked out.

*

By the time they reached the wooden table and chairs on the lawn outside, Clement Luther had just finished registering and walked in.

Vivian Sutton waved at him.

"Over here!!!"

Once Clement Luther saw her, Vivian Sutton pulled Selena Kensington to sit down on a chair.

"Hey Selie, did you know Annelise Mayfield before?"

Vivian Sutton couldn’t contain her curiosity and asked.

Selena Kensington shook her head slightly. "I don’t know her."

"It’s just because she’s from the Mayfield family."

Vivian Sutton was even more puzzled. "A Mayfield family member, who?"

Selena Kensington glanced at Vivian Sutton; the other party was not privy to these matters.

So Selena Kensington didn’t go deeper into the explanation. "Roxanne Sutton is from the Mayfield Family."

Once Selena Kensington said this, Vivian Sutton understood.

Her eyes widened slightly. "So, Annelise Mayfield is here to take revenge for Roxanne Sutton?"

Selena Kensington nodded slightly. "You could say that."

"But she seems to have only listened to Roxanne Sutton’s side of the story. She doesn’t really understand much about these matters, and since this young girl is inherently not bad, as long as she doesn’t do anything outrageous, there’s no need to pay her any mind."

Vivian Sutton seemed to understand and nodded. "I see..."

After that, when Clement Luther came over, Vivian Sutton didn’t continue discussing Annelise Mayfield’s matters.

"Hey, have you noticed I’ve gotten thinner these days?"

As soon as Clement Luther sat down, Vivian Sutton eagerly asked.

"...You’ve always been this thin."

Clement Luther paused, thinking of a conservative answer.

Vivian Sutton dismissed him with a look. "You sure know how to talk."

"Tsk, tsk..."

Selena Kensington watched on from the side, sighing. "Our little Clement’s survival instincts have really improved."

Vivian Sutton waved her hand. "Sigh, let’s not talk about this. You two hardly come by; let’s chat about something else."

After saying this, Vivian Sutton turned her gaze to Selena Kensington.

"I always feel something’s changed about you..."

Vivian Sutton mumbled.

Selena Kensington coughed lightly. "Cough, what changed."

Vivian Sutton carefully inspected Selena Kensington and then seemed to have a sudden realization.

"Ah!"

"Got it!"

Vivian Sutton’s words drew the attention of Selena Kensington and Clement Luther.

"Tell me, have you encountered something good recently? Look at your love-blossomed appearance..."

Upon hearing Vivian Sutton say this, Selena Kensington was amused yet helpless.

But a bit of curiosity emerged inside her. "Is it that obvious?"

Selena Kensington asked.

Vivian Sutton immediately leaned in closer. "Really? Did I guess right?"

"Is it that your hubby proposed to you!?"

Vivian Sutton boldly guessed.

Selena Kensington was taken aback, then nodded helplessly.

Vivian Sutton’s intuition in this area was undeniably accurate.

"Yes, on my birthday."

Both Vivian Sutton and Clement Luther were somewhat surprised, but they soon found it quite normal.

Considering Sterling Norwood’s level of spoiling Selena Kensington, even though their initial registration was hurried, these things would surely be sorted out eventually.

"Congratulations! Does this mean your wedding is now on the agenda?"

Vivian Sutton asked with a smile.

Selena Kensington was stunned, then honestly shook her head.

"Haven’t thought it through yet."

After Sterling Norwood proposed, there were no further gestures, and Selena Kensington had been feeling lazy recently. Besides, she didn’t have much understanding in this area and couldn’t be bothered to pay attention.

Vivian Sutton clicked her tongue. "Can’t be, once you’re engaged, a wedding should naturally follow!"

Selena Kensington smiled and shook her head. "No rush, he won’t run away anyway."

Clement Luther’s mouth twitched slightly, jokingly saying, "I think the one who should be worried is Sterling Norwood."

"...Am I that kind of person?"

Selena Kensington glared at Clement Luther discontentedly.

Clement Luther shrugged, staying neutral.

After that, the three continued sitting on the wooden chairs chatting for a while, and when the sun was about to set, Selena Kensington prepared to leave.

"Little Clement, are you staying a while longer?"

Selena Kensington glanced at Clement Luther, who was still sticking close to Vivian Sutton.

Vivian Sutton smiled and explained to her, "Little Clement is staying for dinner with me; you go back first, or else your hubby might overthink."

Upon hearing Vivian Sutton say this, Selena Kensington didn’t insist.

She nodded. "Alright, I’ll head off first."

"Good luck with your competition."

After that, Selena Kensington left the "Star of Entertainment" filming location.

*

Upon returning to the main residence, Selena Kensington happened to see Sterling Norwood coming down the stairs.

Sterling Norwood glanced at her. "Went to see the Mayfield family."

He spoke with a tone of certainty.

Selena Kensington didn’t hide it from him, nodding. "Yes."

"Wanted to check her purpose of coming to Aethelgard, but discovered this young girl isn’t inherently bad. She’s just a bit immature, and after Roxanne Sutton’s instigation, she came directly to Aethelgard."

Sterling Norwood didn’t care about Annelise Mayfield’s inherent nature.

His brows furrowed slightly. "Does she intend to make a move on you?"

As he spoke, a sliver of intent flashed in his eyes.

Selena Kensington sensed the change in his aura and quickly approached him, wrapping her arm around Sterling Norwood’s. "No, she just thinks I’m a bad woman but doesn’t intend to do anything to me."

Besides, having lived two lifetimes, she wouldn’t be unable to handle a young girl inexperienced with society.

"Hmm... I know you aren’t."

Sterling Norwood spoke calmly, then led Selena Kensington toward the dining room.

Selena Kensington was momentarily stunned.

Afterward, she understood the meaning behind Sterling Norwood’s previous words.

Her mouth slowly curved into a smile.

When it was the day for the semifinals recording of "Star of Entertainment,"

Because Sterling Norwood was concerned, Selena Kensington had Hope Norwood accompany her.

When they arrived at the estate where "Star of Entertainment" was being recorded, the show’s crew had already sent personnel to wait at the estate entrance.

"Director Kensington, it’s an honor to have you participate in the recording of the ’Star of Entertainment’ semifinals."

Once Selena Kensington got out of the car, a staff member greeted her warmly.

Selena Kensington nodded slightly toward her. "Thank you, it’s my honor as well."

Afterward, the staff member led Selena Kensington and Hope Norwood inside.

Inside the recording site, a lot of staff members were already prepared.

When Selena Kensington walked in, she happened to come across Sloane Hawthorne, who had changed outfits and was ready to head backstage.

"Sis, you’re here."

Sloane Hawthorne was pleased to see her, eyes showing a hint of delight.

Selena Kensington looked at her splendidly dressed appearance, nodding with satisfaction. "Do your best; I’ll be watching you from the audience."

"Yes, I will!"

After that, Sloane Hawthorne followed her assistant and left.

Selena Kensington was then led by the staff into the performance site.

Hope Norwood was arranged not far from Selena Kensington in the audience.
