Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 374: Back Then

After parting ways with others, Sterling Norwood led her to Stardust Entertainment.

On the car ride, Selena Kensington took out her phone and listened to the recording Lana Blanchett had sent.

Lynn Rhodes’s words in the recording were extremely agitated and biased; she even said a lot of overly aggressive things.

Like ’You were the one who plagiarized my work back then!!!’

’Did you consider the day you might fall into disgrace when you did those things?!’

’Your designs are rigid and outdated, is that why you thought of stealing my designs?!’

After listening, Selena Kensington looked at the comments from the netizens below.

[?? A teacher plagiarizing a student’s work? A rare sight!]

[Lana Blanchett’s designs are rigid and outdated? The ’Summer Bloom’ series really made The Aura Showcase popular!]

[So Lynn Rhodes is such a person!? So disrespectful to her mentor...]

[Why did Stardust Entertainment choose her? Could it really be because Selena Kensington was driven by emotion...]

Selena Kensington frowned slightly as she read those comments.

Sterling Norwood asked her, "Is it troubling you?"

Selena Kensington shook her head, "Not exactly, just thinking about what comes next."

"Hmm, I’m here for everything, don’t worry."

He comforted her.

Upon arriving at Stardust Entertainment, Selena Kensington asked Sterling Norwood to pick her up after work and parted ways with him.

She took the elevator to the floor where Hugh Kensington’s office was located.

Opening the elevator, she was met by the reception room.

Upon entering, Selena Kensington saw Lynn Rhodes sitting on the sofa.

Lea Dutton was comforting her nearby.

Judging by Lynn Rhodes’s expression, she seemed to have calmed down.

Seeing Selena Kensington enter, both of them immediately stood up.

"Sister! (Miss Kensington)."

They called out.

Selena Kensington nodded and glanced around; Hugh Kensington was not present.

"Where’s Hugh?"

Lea Dutton answered her, "President Kensington went downstairs to find someone from the PR department."

"Alright."

Selena Kensington nodded and walked over to sit down on the sofa opposite Lynn Rhodes.

"Miss Kensington, I apologize, I fell for her provocative tactics..."

Seeing Selena Kensington sitting down, Lynn Rhodes immediately spoke.

Her voice was full of guilt.

Selena Kensington slightly shook her head, "What did Lana Blanchett say to you."

Lynn Rhodes bit her lip slightly, saying "It’s about something from two years ago; back then, I managed to become Lana Blanchett’s student, thinking she was a great mentor."

"But unexpectedly, within a month, I noticed something was wrong. She didn’t really know those principles and concepts, and even when I mentioned renowned designs’ inspiration, source materials, she glossed over them."

"But by then, I was already under her tutelage, yet a few months later, her true colors emerged."

"She saw the design draft I left on the table; overtly, she berated my design, but secretly, she stole the design drafts."

"The first time I discovered my design draft was missing, she explained that maybe the cleaning lady took it away as waste paper, but later, I installed a miniature camera on my work desk..."

"The camera recorded Lana Blanchett’s subsequent theft process."

"At that time, I was very angry; I went to confront Lana Blanchett, and when she saw I’d caught her, she immediately showed her ugly side, arrogantly threatening me, saying she could ruin my future..."

"By then, she was the art director of The Aura Showcase and backed by The Blanchett Family, I had no power or ability to oppose her, disappointed, I left Aethelgard."

Lynn Rhodes recounted the events from back then.

After leaving Aethelgard, she went to a coastal city.

Despite experiencing such events, Lynn Rhodes still genuinely loved design.

To avoid Lana Blanchett’s suppression, she refused investors’ invitations and only published her designs online.

Listening to Lynn Rhodes’s recount, Lea Dutton was already furious "That Lana Blanchett is truly..."

Selena Kensington raised her eyes, "It’s not only Lana Blanchett, The Aura Showcase has severe internal corruption."

"Their designs, some are direct plagiarism of less-known designs, some they coerce designers into joining them."

"The threats Lana Blanchett used against you are just their usual tactics."

Lynn Rhodes’s eyes widened abruptly, "No one stood up?"

Selena Kensington shook her head, "They choose easy targets, people who are easy to manipulate; those without power or influence can hardly dare to offend The Aura Showcase."

Lynn Rhodes fell silent suddenly.

She thought this incident only happened to her but didn’t expect others to be involved as well...

As silence settled among them, Hugh Kensington returned.

As soon as he entered, Selena Kensington stood up.

"Are the arrangements clear?"

Hugh Kensington nodded, "Yes, the data comparisons and the evidence collected from some designers have been handed over to the PR department."

"Good, getting so much in such a short time isn’t easy."

Selena Kensington praised him.

Hugh Kensington smiled a little, "Sis, it’s mostly thanks to Lea Dutton; why didn’t you tell me your assistant was also a hacker genius."

"With her help, finding those designers was a breeze."

Selena Kensington was slightly surprised; she turned to look at Lea Dutton.

But remembering that Lea Dutton was a member of The Celestial Division, she wasn’t too surprised internally.

Although she didn’t know exactly what The Celestial Division was, she’d learned some things from Lea Dutton.

There are many prodigies and geniuses within.

"Lea, you did great this time, I’ll give you a raise when we get back!"

Lea Dutton laughed softly with a ’hehe’.

Hugh Kensington continued saying, "Sis, I don’t want this matter to end so quickly..."

Selena Kensington slightly raised her brows, "Continue."

"If we expose it directly, the losses to The Aura Showcase and Lana Blanchett will be too minimal; they can easily find a scapegoat to clear themselves."

"Better to play along with their games, meanwhile, Lynn Rhodes has to endure a few more days of suffering."

Selena Kensington laughed, "Not surprised you’re my brother, you think like me."

The Aura Showcase did so many dirty deeds, and they set their sights on Lynn Rhodes.

Selena Kensington wouldn’t settle for merely giving them a little blow.

She then looked at Lynn Rhodes, "Are you willing?"

Lynn Rhodes nodded, "I’ve long been indifferent to online comments. As long as Lana Blanchett’s crimes get exposed, I can endure it."

"Great."

"Later, you call Lana Blanchett, pretend that you are desperate and confront her, then reveal her crimes online yourself."

"Netizens naturally won’t believe your empty words, and Lana Blanchett will assume we aren’t siding with you, slandering you even more fervently..."

"Once they all believe you are the one in the wrong, we will seize the opportunity to release the evidence."

"Catch them off guard."

Selena Kensington detailed the plan to Lynn Rhodes.

Then she looked at Hugh Kensington, "How’s it, does it match what you have in mind?"

Hugh Kensington’s mouth curved, "It does."

In terms of trickery and plotting, the siblings were surprisingly in sync.
