Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 465: Targeting Sloane Hawthorne

Afterward, Roxanne Sutton began discussing matters with her agent in the office.

In the following days, after Sterling Norwood left the house, Selena Kensington went to find Vivian Sutton.

Coincidentally, Vivian Sutton was on winter break with nothing to do, so the two of them stayed together knitting scarves.

"Whoa! Selie! You’re almost done with this one!"

Vivian Sutton originally wanted to rest her wrist because it was sore.

But when she looked up, she saw Selena Kensington knitting quickly and skillfully.

Watching that speed made Vivian Sutton’s hands feel even more tired.

"Babe, let’s switch hands!"

Vivian Sutton suggested.

Selena Kensington slowed down upon hearing her, "Forget it, haven’t you finished half of yours too?"

Vivian Sutton pouted, "When I look at mine and yours, I feel embarrassed to call mine a scarf."

"This is clearly a lump of garbage!"

Although Vivian Sutton could knit, her work was all over the place, not coherent in many spots, and appeared loosely knit overall.

Selena Kensington laughed helplessly, "Since you’re the one knitting it, your little ministers are going to be thrilled. Don’t worry about it."

"Once you’ve done it a second time, you’ll become an expert."

Vivian Sutton felt a lot better after hearing Selena Kensington’s words.

"True! If he dares to criticize, I’ll break his legs! Hmph!"

After this exchange, Vivian Sutton continued knitting her scarf.

When it was almost sunset in the afternoon, Selena Kensington stretched her muscles.

"Finished."

Her words instantly attracted Vivian Sutton’s admiring gaze.

"Let me admire it!"

Vivian Sutton eagerly moved closer.

Selena Kensington handed the scarf over to her with a smile.

This scarf that Selena Kensington knitted was a dark gray one.

The yarn ball Vivian Sutton bought was very soft and of excellent quality.

It felt comfortable, and since Selena Kensington had paid attention while knitting, it had no fuzz.

Because of that, the entire scarf looked extremely soft and even.

"Oh gosh, I almost want to steal this scarf from your husband!!!"

"But, I don’t dare!"

Vivian Sutton said resentfully.

"Oops."

Selena Kensington laughed, "I’ll knit one for you on another occasion."

Vivian Sutton’s eyes lit up hearing Selena Kensington’s promise, "Really?! I’m looking forward to it!"

Under Vivian Sutton’s eager gaze, Selena Kensington nodded.

Selena Kensington was just about to start her next scarf when a phone call interrupted her.

"Who’s calling?"

Vivian Sutton casually asked.

Selena Kensington glanced at her phone, "It’s Sloane."

Then she answered the call.

"Sloane, what’s up?"

Sloane Hawthorne’s slightly anxious voice came from the other end, "Sis, are you busy right now?"

Selena Kensington exchanged a glance with Vivian Sutton, then replied, "Not busy, take your time to explain."

Sloane Hawthorne took a few breaths before speaking.

"Just now, a friend from the slum contacted me..."

Before Sloane Hawthorne called Selena Kensington, her friends from the slums had reached out to her.

"Tiger? Why are you suddenly calling?"

When Sloane Hawthorne received the call, she felt both happy and puzzled.

Tiger’s voice came through, "Sister Sloane, are you being targeted?!"

Sloane Hawthorne immediately became alert and asked urgently, "What’s wrong?!"

"This morning, some people came, claiming to be reporters from some place, wanting to learn about your past since you’ve become famous."

"Initially, everyone was cooperative, because having a big star rise from our place is something to be proud of."

"But later, the questions they asked seemed increasingly odd. Although everyone felt it strange, they still went along."

"After they left, the more I thought about it, the more it seemed off, so I called you."

"Those guys didn’t seem like they wanted to understand you, more like they wanted to dig up dirt on you!"

After Tiger finished speaking, Sloane Hawthorne’s expression darkened.

"I understand, thank you, Tiger."

"No problem, Sister Sloane. Don’t worry, everyone hopes for your good. We didn’t say anything bad, just worried the media might distort things!"

Children from the slums tend to mature early, naturally understanding how crucial media portrayal is for a star.

If the media recklessly vilified Sloane Hawthorne, her reputation could suffer...

That’s why Tiger urgently notified Sloane Hawthorne about this incident.

Listening to Tiger’s words, warmth filled Sloane Hawthorne’s eyes, "Got it, thank you everyone."

Tiger felt slightly embarrassed, "Sister Sloane, no need to say that; we’ve all had easier living because of your help."

Previously, Sloane Hawthorne had donated most of her film earnings to support people in the slum.

Either helping them return to school or funding small businesses for them to start.

Therefore, many people in the slum are deeply grateful to Sloane Hawthorne.

After Sloane Hawthorne finished the call, she rang Selena Kensington and relayed the story.

After listening to the explanation, Selena Kensington pondered briefly, "I understand, don’t worry about it."

Selena Kensington’s voice carried a calming quality, instantly easing Sloane Hawthorne’s mind.

"Okay."

Actually, Sloane Hawthorne wasn’t concerned about damage to her fame.

She was afraid the incident could negatively impact "Butterfly Flame."

Moreover, she was chosen by Selena Kensington.

If any controversy arose, netizens would question Selena Kensington’s judgment.

Sloane Hawthorne wouldn’t want that.

That’s why she’s been striving to prove Selena Kensington’s choice wasn’t wrong.

After she hung up the phone, Selena Kensington’s expression turned serious.

Vivian Sutton looked over worriedly, "What’s wrong?"

"It’s likely Roxanne Sutton; she’s trying to dig up dirt on Sloane."

This couldn’t have been Sidney Dalton’s doing.

Sidney Dalton, as Selena Kensington’s rival, would disdain engaging in such petty, sneaky behavior.

Thus, it seemed only Roxanne Sutton would do this.

That woman’s vindictive and jealous nature was quite evident.

"Roxanne Sutton?! Why is she still causing trouble?"

"Could it be... she’s actually jealous of Sloane because of those online threads?"

Vivian Sutton felt disgusted when mentioning Roxanne Sutton.

Simply saying her name made Vivian Sutton want to spit.

"What kind of threads online?"

Selena Kensington asked.

Vivian Sutton had been closely following the matter, so when Selena Kensington asked, she explained the situation.

"It’s the recent comparisons netizens made between Sloane and Roxanne Sutton."

"Over the past few days, discussions intensified; this time, the comparison of educational backgrounds had Sloane directly overshadowing Roxanne Sutton."

"Plus, many people said Roxanne Sutton is a washed-up starlet, far from her former standing."
