Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 785: Lady of the Norwood Family

After the socialite finished speaking, she covered her mouth and giggled.

Once she finished, she seemed to suddenly realize she misspoke and perfunctorily said, "Sorry, Miss Sutton, I didn’t mean it."

Her lighthearted "didn’t mean it" easily brushed the matter aside.

Meanwhile, Vivian Sutton’s childhood friend looked at the socialite with a playful pout.

"Yuan Yuan, you’re just too straightforward!"

A few people joined in to mock Vivian Sutton in various ways.

Selena Kensington heard their words and a sharp glint passed through her brows.

She glanced at Vivian Sutton, whose face already showed impatience.

Vivian Sutton indeed had been impatient for a while.

These people kept babbling nonsense in her ear for ages without stopping.

If she weren’t worried that Selena might come looking for her later, Vivian Sutton really wanted to just leave.

In the past, the things these people said would have been enough to make Vivian Sutton furious.

But after this period of settling down, she was no longer the Vivian Sutton who wore her heart on her sleeve, acting impulsively without considering consequences.

So, Vivian Sutton didn’t really take to heart what these people were saying.

On the contrary, she felt like laughing.

Clement Luther doesn’t want to marry her?

Vivian Sutton thought about how Clement Luther showered her with affection every time she returned home.

He could hardly utter three sentences without mentioning marriage.

The Sutton Family doesn’t acknowledge her?

The fact that she was chosen as the Empire’s ambassador for E&A International speaks volumes.

This position of ambassador used to be impossible to obtain even for top-tier celebrities without some cunning and backing.

Not even on a lucky chance.

Yet Vivian Sutton got it.

Selena Kensington walked through the glass door, directly interrupting the socialites who were mocking Vivian Sutton.

"What’s entertaining enough to chat about, mind if I join in?"

Upon hearing Selena Kensington’s voice, the socialites mocking Vivian Sutton were taken aback.

They instinctively looked up and saw Selena Kensington standing not far from them.

Her demeanor was filled with lazy elegance, her voice was calm and nonchalant.

But the socialites felt an inexplicable sense of pressure.

This person...

Some among these socialites came from minor families, unqualified to attend the Norwood Family’s banquet, let alone meet Selena Kensington.

Thus, they didn’t know Selena Kensington’s background.

But such charisma isn’t possessed by ordinary people...

For a moment, the socialites chose to remain silent.

But Vivian Sutton’s childhood friend showed a hint of fear in her eyes.

Others might not have had the chance to meet Selena Kensington, but her family was similar to the Luther and Sutton Families. Her parents were qualified to attend the Norwood Family’s banquet.

Often she begged her parents to bring her along, but for safety’s sake, they never did.

Except for two years ago, when for the first time she was allowed to attend the Norwood Family’s banquet with her parents.

At the Norwood Family’s banquet, the current head publicly announced the lady of the Norwood Family.

Countless socialites within Aethelgard’s high society had their hearts broken and wept.

This socialite greatly envied Selena Kensington, who was at the center of attention, universally adored.

So she remembered what Selena Kensington looked like.

Even now, seeing Selena Kensington’s face, she could recall her dazzling presence, becoming the focus of the entire event.

Lovely and captivating.

The socialite’s gaze lowered and she noticed Selena Kensington’s rounded belly.

Internally, a voice echoed: We’re done for!

The Norwood Family’s lady was indeed several months pregnant, confirming the person before her was Lady Norwood!

She assumed Vivian Sutton was alone today, daring to mock her.

She didn’t expect she was merely waiting for someone.

And the person she awaited was someone they couldn’t offend, no matter the consequences!

Selena Kensington scanned these people and then slowly spoke, "Why stop? I’m listening."

Her tone was naturally calm but carried a subtle dangerous vibe.

As if she were saying, Go ahead, see if you dare continue.

Upon hearing Selena Kensington’s voice, Vivian Sutton finally didn’t ignore it impatiently.

She looked up joyfully, "Selie, you finally came!"

Then she rose from the sofa, directly ignoring the socialites who had been mocking her, and walked over to Selena Kensington.

Affectionately, she hooked her arm.

The head socialite’s face turned noticeably grim seeing this.

She didn’t expect Vivian Sutton to be so close to Selena Kensington...

What now...

The head socialite grew anxious inside, especially due to Selena Kensington’s previous words, amplifying her unease.

"Mm."

Selena Kensington slightly curved her lips.

"I lost track of time at home, so I’m late."

Selena Kensington explained the reason for her lateness.

Vivian Sutton waved it off, indifferent to Selena Kensington’s tardiness. "Oh, it’s no big deal. Consider it compensation for all the times I left you waiting."

Speaking of the past brought back amusing memories for Selena Kensington.

This was indeed rare.

Because during university, Selena Kensington was always the one waiting.

Unexpectedly, this time, she became the one being waited for.

The nearby socialites saw Vivian Sutton and Selena Kensington deep in conversation, and the head socialite assumed it meant Selena wouldn’t bother with them anymore.

She signaled to the others, intending to lead them quietly away.

The socialites didn’t know Selena Kensington’s identity, but seeing the head socialite so scared, they grew anxious too.

They had barely risen from the sofa when Selena Kensington noticed them.

She caught a glimpse of them about to leave and gestured to Vivian Sutton to halt her speech.

She calmly glanced at them. "Weren’t you chatting lively just now? Why the hurry to leave?"

Upon hearing Selena Kensington’s voice, the socialites who intended to leave instantly froze.

Vivian Sutton stood beside Selena, watching the socialites.

A mocking smile slowly formed at her lips. "So, Selie, you enjoy listening to comedy acts..."

"That’s fantastic! Miss Yu and her friends are experts in comedic acts!"

"Why don’t you perform again, Miss Yu?"

Vivian Sutton spoke casually but turned the socialites’ mockery into a comedic performance.
