Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 401: The Kensington Siblings’ Plans

So if he wants to improve, he can only continue to act in Selena Kensington’s play.

Selena Kensington smiled a bit, "That’s a good habit, your performance just now really surprised me, but you need to continue to ponder the reason Ian Kaye exists."

"Pay attention to some minor flaws, too. This role mustn’t be overdone; using your most natural state is best."

Selena Kensington gave Ethan Linton quite a few suggestions.

Ethan Linton remembered them all one by one.

After listening, he sighed, "As expected, still Sister Kensington’s style."

Selena Kensington was amused, "What style do I have?"

Before Ethan could speak, Hugh Kensington jumped in.

"Sis, don’t you know your own abnormal requirements?"

"Vivian Sutton shut herself away straight after finishing your play, saying she needs a few more years of cultivation before acting again."

Upon hearing Hugh Kensington’s complaint, Selena Kensington recalled that Vivian Sutton indeed went straight back to Aethelgard Media University to continue studying after finishing her play.

"... Not too bad."

Selena Kensington tried to redeem her image a bit.

Unfortunately, Ethan Linton and Hugh Kensington, who experienced Selena’s guidance, didn’t believe her words.

Seeing that neither believed her, Selena Kensington shrugged helplessly,"Alright."

"Let’s call it a day today, great job."

"Lynn Rhodes hasn’t finished rushing the costume for Ian Kaye, wait a few days before coming for the fitting shoot."

"Alright."

After today’s casting, Selena Kensington didn’t rush to leave.

Instead, she dragged Hugh Kensington toward the set.

"Sis, why do you have to drag me?"

Hugh Kensington was very helpless.

"Oh, you’re walking too slowly."

"?"

You’re running, I’m walking, how can we compare?

Hugh Kensington was rather helpless with his sister’s peculiar mindset.

Afterward, under Selena Kensington’s various urgings, Hugh Kensington reluctantly sped up.

When they arrived at the studio, Sloane Hawthorne and Harvey Vance had just finished shooting and were admiring the results nearby.

"President, Miss Kensington."

Seeing Hugh Kensington and Selena Kensington enter, everyone in the studio greeted them.

Upon reaching the studio, Selena Kensington left Hugh Kensington and walked toward the photographer.

"How much have we shot?"

Selena Kensington asked.

"We’ve shot several sets, both solos and duos."

The photographer replied to her.

Selena Kensington nodded, "Hand it over to the art department for refinement, then submit it."

"Okay."

Later, Selena Kensington walked to Sloane Hawthorne, "It’s been a long day, thank you for your hard work."

Luckily, it was the weekend and Sloane Hawthorne didn’t have class today.

Otherwise, she would’ve been quite exhausted.

Sloane Hawthorne shook his head with a smile, "It’s fine, I can handle it."

"By the way, did your vocal coach say your current practice is okay?"

Selena Kensington remembered something about "Burning."

Sloane Hawthorne paused slightly, then nodded, "The teacher said my voice has opened up much more than before."

Selena Kensington nodded, "No problem, don’t push yourself too hard."

"After the casting ends, find some time to record this song."

"Okay."

Afterward, Selena Kensington dismissed everyone in the studio to rest.

Hugh Kensington, speechless, followed behind Selena Kensington, "Sis, did you specially come for this?"

Hugh Kensington had noticed his sister seemed a bit off since this morning.

It was as if she was forcing herself to immerse in work, avoiding other thoughts.

Selena Kensington suddenly stopped.

Looking around, seeing no one, she leaned against the wall with a sigh.

"I don’t want to, but once I have free time, I think about Miranda Kensington’s words."

Then she’d start contemplating those matters, unknowingly recalling things from a decade ago.

Each time she did, she felt like encountering some sort of obstruction, preventing her from recalling past events.

It always weighed heavy on her mind, exceedingly oppressive.

"Hugh, do you think once we uncover the conspiracy from ten years ago, will a bigger conspiracy await us...?"

"If father’s identity is indeed not simple and that’s what led to the calamity, are we falling into their trap by continuing to investigate..."

These are Selena Kensington’s concerns.

She had always lived in Aethelgard, cherished by her parents, ignorant of outside matters or any secrets.

Even with memories of her past life, she never pried into those strange events or secrets.

She always felt her death in her past life was peculiar.

Yet she could sense a genuine, intense desire for death.

It nearly drove her to collapse.

She couldn’t bear the breakdown, seeking death was her wish.

But the dark, negative emotions entangled her, against her will.

Hugh Kensington listened to Selena’s concerns and fell silent.

"Sis, have you considered one thing?"

Selena Kensington heard Hugh Kensington, raised her head questioning him with her gaze.

"... If those people are indeed father’s enemies, why didn’t they eradicate us too, but leave us until now..."

"Perhaps because they are too powerful, powerful enough to disdain dealing with us, or there’s something or someone they fear, buying them just enough time to strike at mom and dad."

"But what I’m sure of is, they aren’t afraid of us uncovering the truth; on the contrary, they’re quite eager to see our reactions after learning the truth..."

This is a hunter’s mentality.

A strong hunter enjoys watching prey flounder, disoriented, ultimately captured easily by them.

After pondering Hugh Kensington’s possibilities, Selena listened to his latter words.

Eyebrows slightly furrowing, "So... we’re only left to improvise, seizing the opportunity for a way out?"

Hugh Kensington nodded slightly, "They’re in the shadows, we’re in the open."

"Since they want to watch us struggle, let’s let them watch. Since they are so arrogant, let’s surprise them, make them taste being bitten back by prey..."

Hugh Kensington’s words enlightened Selena Kensington’s conflicted emotions.

"I understand."

Hugh Kensington patted her shoulder, "Don’t stress too much, I’ll take care of it."

"Even if I can’t handle it, isn’t there brother-in-law?"

Hugh Kensington’s comforting words instantly made Selena Kensington laugh.

"Alright."
