Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 271: Indirect Insinuations

"To have such outstanding talent, plus a top-level husband."

"I think the Best Rookie Director and Best Rookie Screenwriter awards are definitely yours."

Her words praised Selena Kensington highly, yet carried strong insinuations.

Jasmine Shaw has been quite an outstanding screenwriter in the past year or two.

Moreover, the online voting for the Gorgeous Award only accounts for 40%, with a larger portion coming from the jury’s selection.

Why is Jasmine Shaw so certain?

Perhaps there’s really some inside story here?

Keep in mind, Selena Kensington’s husband is the head of the Norwood Family, under such immense power, the jury might compromise after all.

In an instant, many people in the venue looked at Selena Kensington with changed expressions.

Lea Dutton was somewhat angry; this woman really knows how to be subtly sarcastic!

Her sister clearly relies on strength and talent!

But out of this woman’s mouth, it became because of the Norwood Family’s power!

Selena Kensington leaned back slightly, her gaze calmly sweeping over the spectators around her, then returning to Jasmine Shaw.

She suddenly chuckled lightly.

"Director Shaw need not be so self-deprecating; after all, talent is not something everyone can possess."

"If it’s mine, then it’s mine. If it’s not mine, I, Selena Kensington, do not desire it."

"Moreover, does Director Shaw not trust the fairness of the Gorgeous Award jury?"

Her cool words pushed back against Jasmine Shaw’s earlier remarks.

She leaned against the chair back, her demeanor leisurely and relaxed.

Her eyes carried a lazy yet vaguely domineering aura.

She’s telling Jasmine Shaw that indeed she has talent, after all, it’s innate.

And you need not be self-deprecating, as talent is not something everyone possesses.

Then, she warned Jasmine Shaw.

After all, if Jasmine Shaw admits, she would be questioning the fairness of the Gorgeous Award jury.

You know, the Gorgeous Award is considered one of the more fair and objective awards within The Empire.

It has upheld its fairness and objectivity for over 20 years.

If Jasmine Shaw questions it, she offends not only the jury but also those who have previously won.

Jasmine Shaw’s expression stiffened.

"Director Kensington, you must be joking, why would I question the jury’s fairness?"

"I just believe that with Director Kensington’s talent and ability, you fully deserve these two awards."

"My assistant is here; I have to go now."

Under the gaze of surrounding people, Jasmine Shaw had no choice but to reluctantly flatter Selena Kensington.

Jasmine Shaw was livid inside; her attempt to discredit Selena Kensington had failed, instead forcing her to praise her.

After speaking, she hurriedly found an excuse to leave.

After Jasmine Shaw left, some of those spectators also dispersed.

Lea Dutton couldn’t wait and said, "Sister, you’re the best! Just a few words and you defeated Jasmine Shaw!"

"I wonder how she’ll act so arrogant in the future!"

Lea Dutton had long been displeased with Jasmine Shaw’s pompous attitude, who’s she trying to provoke here?

"Alright, the award ceremony is about to begin."

As soon as Selena Kensington finished speaking, the host walked to the center of the venue.

He held the microphone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats, our award ceremony is about to start..."

After the host finished speaking, those who were still standing and talking or whispering found seats and sat down.

The venue suddenly quieted down.

The venue lights suddenly went out, leaving only one spotlight on the host at the center.
