Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 279: The Viper Syndicate

Just at this moment, the hotel waiter had already served all the dishes.

Arthur Xander, the head of the Gorgeous Award program group, walked onto the empty stage in the middle of the hotel restaurant.

He picked up the microphone and began speaking, "Thank you, everyone, for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend the Gorgeous Award ceremony..." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"I hope you all enjoy the banquet tonight."

Once he finished speaking, he stepped down.

The waiter brought over a glass of wine, Arthur Xander took the glass and went from table to table greeting each guest.

When he arrived at Selena Kensington’s table, Arthur Xander raised his glass towards her.

"I’ve heard a lot about Director Kensington’s achievements before, and meeting her today, it is indeed true."

"Director Kensington, so young yet so accomplished—not just due to talent, but surely also personal effort."

Selena Kensington smiled and stood up with her glass, clinking it lightly with his, "You’re too kind."

Arthur Xander noticed her pleasant demeanor and the ample respect she gave him, his fondness for Selena Kensington increased a little more.

To be calm and unassuming, such a person is rare.

Afterward, Arthur Xander greeted Jasmine Shaw, "Director Shaw, long time no see."

Jasmine Shaw also greeted him, "Director Xander, it’s been such a long time..."

She originally intended to chat further with Arthur Xander, to show their close relations.

Unfortunately, after saying this, Arthur Xander moved on to the next table.

The words Jasmine Shaw was about to say were swallowed back in frustration.

Meanwhile, in the surveillance room of The Grand Rosewood Hotel.

The original monitoring room staff were tied up together, knocked out, and placed in the corner.

Sitting in front of the monitors was a brawny man, his eyes were lascivious and fierce.

Behind him, two people stood with hands behind their backs.

The man sitting down took a hard drag of his cigarette and looked at the surveillance.

Displayed on the monitor in front of him was the hotel restaurant scene of the Gorgeous Award program group gathering.

"Arthur Xander, that stubborn old man, dared to tell me not to come this year?!"

"I scoff, those women always willingly come to me!"

The man sitting in front of the monitors was the leader of The Viper Syndicate, Owen Woods.

The reason the Gorgeous Award hasn’t had any incidents in Sylva for so many years owes partially to the connections between the award program group and Owen Woods.

The program group is also aware that some celebrities aspire to climb higher, and naturally want to associate with powerful figures.

Therefore, if Owen Woods wants to take someone, if that person agrees, the program group basically turns a blind eye.

Fortunately, those who followed Owen Woods received plenty of benefits afterward, and naturally wouldn’t expose these matters.

However, this year, the leader of the program group, Arthur Xander.

Considering some important figures would appear at this award ceremony, he reminded Owen Woods not to show up this year.

But can Owen Woods heed such words?!

Arthur Xander doesn’t want him here, then he’ll come on his own!

"Hmm?... That woman!"

Owen Woods scanned the people in the hotel restaurant through the surveillance system.

Suddenly his gaze brightened at the sight of a woman in the hall.

"Tsk... Is she a newcomer just debuting? Really is..."

Owen Woods was referring to Selena Kensington, whom he hadn’t met before, combined with her resemblance to a celebrity.

Naturally, he assumed Selena Kensington to be one of those newcomers.

For such newcomers, Owen Woods knew well how to entice them to his advantage.

"Owen."

Owen Woods placed his hands behind his head, legs propped on the table in front, his gaze on Selena Kensington firm with determination.

"Go bring this woman to me."

He extended a hand, pointing towards Selena Kensington.
