Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 385: Sidney Dalton Acquires Aethel Entertainment

Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Sidney Dalton Acquires Aethel Entertainment

Sterling Norwood raised an eyebrow slightly, "Hmm?"

Selena Kensington grinned mischievously, "You’re deliberately seducing me!"

Sterling Norwood couldn’t help but laugh silently.

Selena Kensington quickly lifted her head and gave him a light bite on the lips, then left his embrace and raced to the walk-in closet.

"I’m going to take a bath!"

She left with those words.

Leaving Sterling Norwood alone in bed, shaking his head helplessly.

Tease and run, that’s his wife’s usual tactic.

When Selena Kensington came out, she ignored Sterling Norwood’s intense gaze and wrapped herself in the blanket.

Only her head was visible.

She blinked, "Sleep."

"..."

Sterling Norwood looked helpless, he had to put the documents on the bedside table and turn off the bedside lamp.

Selena Kensington snuggled up in his arms, suddenly calling out, "Sterling."

Sterling Norwood heard her and lowered his eyes to look at her.

Selena Kensington continued, "Haven’t those branches ever thought of any other intentions..."

Today, meeting Keith Norwood, Selena Kensington felt that strange feeling again.

The deference and protection from the Norwood family branches towards her seemed to be carried from the blood.

Sterling Norwood tightened his embrace around her, "They wouldn’t dare."

"They don’t have the capability."

The Norwood family branches were among several families that chose to pledge allegiance to the Vile Beasts in the ancient times.

To demonstrate their loyalty and resolution to serve the Lord of the Vicious Beasts, they swore a fearsome oath.

Additionally, they planted this ominous vow in their descendants.

This vow was incredibly domineering and brutal; any intention to violate it would result in boundless destruction.

Although the effect of the oath has diminished with the fading of ancient times, the rules passed down have become deeply rooted in their beliefs, and with the protection of the Vile Beasts’ bloodline, the Norwood family has grown very powerful.

Thus, the Norwood family branches have no reason to have other thoughts.

Selena Kensington nodded, seemingly understanding.

She found herself a comfortable position and closed her eyes.

The next day, when Selena Kensington arrived at Stardust Entertainment, she saw a major news headline.

"Aethel Entertainment acquired by Radiance Entertainment?"

Selena Kensington was not too surprised when she saw the news, as Hugh Kensington had mentioned this to her before.

She was just a bit amazed at how quickly Sidney Dalton acted...

Many people on the internet commented on the matter.

[Is the entertainment circle’s three-legged form coming to an end?]

[Radiance Entertainment merges with Aethel...]

[Then isn’t Stardust going to decline?!!]

[...Impossible, considering Sternwood is backed by the Norwood family!]

[Whoa, this is thrilling!!!]

[After all, two tigers cannot coexist on one mountain, Stardust and Radiance are bound to clash eventually...]

[The balance has been broken???]

Selena Kensington smiled at the news and sighed, "Indeed, Sidney Dalton is a rare opponent."

Beside her, Hugh Kensington frowned, "Radiance and Aethel combined, Radiance’s magazine shortcomings are now covered..."

"Plus, Aethel has a lot of veteran stars, Sidney Dalton made a really smart move with this one..."

"Hey? Sis..."

Hugh Kensington suddenly called out, confused.

Selena Kensington walked over to him, "What is it?"

"Radiance Entertainment announced the films they’re investing in this second half year... One of them includes a movie starring Roxanne Sutton, seemingly targeting you."

Hugh Kensington brought the computer over to Selena Kensington to show its content.

The list Radiance Entertainment published revealed the second half of their film investments.

Many were adaptations of online novels, but most notably was a film titled "Marguerite Volant." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The film stars Roxanne Sutton and another veteran Aethel Entertainment actor.

"The director of this film is Quentin Carter’s student, Asa Carter."

"He’s the one who won a dual crown of the Gorgeous Award simultaneously as you did, three years ago."

Hugh Kensington explained to Selena Kensington.

Selena Kensington’s mouth curled into a smile, "Sidney Dalton is certainly spending lavishly to suppress us..."

Asa Carter had originally been Aethel Entertainment’s exclusive director and screenwriter, but Sidney Dalton made such bold moves upon acquiring Aethel Entertainment.

And having Roxanne Sutton star.

This is directly aiming at her "Butterfly Flame," isn’t it?

"What do you intend to do?"

Hugh Kensington asked her.

"Why don’t you seem worried at all?"

Selena Kensington folded her arms, gazing at him.

Hugh Kensington shrugged, "Ultimately, the final victor will only be you."

Selena Kensington laughed, patting Hugh Kensington’s shoulder, "Good brother."

Indeed, as long as she is the ultimate victor,

there’s nothing to worry about.

"Announce the audition date for ’Butterfly Flame’."

"Hmm... Mid-November sounds good."

Selena Kensington thought for a moment and set a date.

"Alright."

Hugh Kensington agreed and instructed the staff below to make arrangements.

Selena Kensington sent a message to Lea Dutton, asking her to post it on social media.

After the siblings gave orders, ’Butterfly Flame’s official account started releasing updates shortly after.

’Butterfly Flame’ V: Audition date set! Scheduled for mid-November! Look forward to more details~

Stardust Entertainment’s official account then reposted the message.

In no time, netizens became active again.

[You guys are finally holding the auditions ahhhhhh!!!]

[Auditions are finally happening, filming can’t be far away, can it?!!]

[...Radiance just announced their film lineup in the morning, now ’Butterfly Flame’ announces its auditions...]

[Suddenly feel a hint of war in the air...]

[One of Radiance’s films includes the ’Marguerite Volant’ directed by Asa Carter, starring Roxanne Sutton...]

[Everyone knows what this implies!]

[Two Gorgeous Award dual crown winners face off?!]

[Whoa, this is so thrilling all of a sudden!!!]

[Next year’s cinemas are definitely going to be spectacular ahhh!!!]

Selena Kensington glanced at the comments and smiled.

"Want to go downstairs for a break at the café?"

Selena Kensington asked Hugh Kensington.

Hugh Kensington glanced at his desk and nodded, seeing there was nothing needing immediate attention, "Sure."

"Let’s go, Felix is still waiting outside."

Meanwhile, in a quaint café,

a woman dressed in a low-key casual outfit with a mask and baseball cap appeared inside.

She walked to the farthest corner.

There sat a little girl in a Lolita dress, wearing a wig.

It was Yvonne Norwood.

Felicity Dalton walked straight up to her, "You called for me?"

Felicity Dalton frowned slightly; this morning, she had received a mysterious message.

The person asked to meet her here, and while she didn’t want to pay attention, the person threatened to tell Hugh Kensington about the Dalton family matters if she didn’t come.

This made Felicity Dalton wary, so she decided to come to the agreed location.

However... their agreed spot was precisely at the café next to Stardust Entertainment.

Yvonne Norwood looked up, her gaze scanned Felicity Dalton critically.

Her scrutiny made Felicity Dalton feel quite uncomfortable.

After a while, Yvonne Norwood withdrew her gaze, "Sit down and let’s talk."

Felicity Dalton sat across from her, "Speak plainly."
