Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 476 - 475: Master Duan’s Warning
Hugh Kensington was taken aback when he heard Felicity Dalton’s words, then he smiled.
"You’re right."
Felicity Dalton was about to invite Hugh Kensington to sit down and watch the play together, but then she noticed her phone screen lighting up.
She frowned slightly and picked up the phone.
It was a message from Old Mr. Dalton.
Felicity Dalton picked up the phone and walked outside, "I’m going to call my brother."
Hugh Kensington didn’t think much of it and nodded for Felicity Dalton to go out.
Felicity Dalton went outside and looked around.
Afterward, she called Stanley Dalton.
"Brother."
A clear, cold voice echoed.
Felicity Dalton’s tone was lukewarm, and Stanley Dalton seemed accustomed to her manner.
"Are you at the Kensington Family?"
However, he asked a question that instantly turned Felicity Dalton’s expression cold.
"What do you want to say."
Felicity Dalton asked coldly, her eyes seeming to freeze over.
"The previous affair, I could claim you and him were merely dating, not yet to the point of discussing marriage."
"But now, your actions increasingly lean towards that direction."
"As your brother, I must remind you that the Kensingtons are not suitable for you."
Stanley Dalton’s voice came through.
His voice carried a sense of aged authority.
But his words made Felicity Dalton furrow her brows tightly.
"Brother, are you also going to interfere with my marriage?"
Stanley Dalton chuckled a bit, "I naturally won’t interfere with your marriage, but, Quinn, if Hugh Kensington wasn’t a Kensington, I absolutely wouldn’t object."
Stanley Dalton’s tone suddenly shifted to a sharp and severe one.
"But, he is a Kensington!"
"You can’t get involved with the Kensingtons; remember your own identity."
Felicity Dalton’s tone suddenly turned somewhat agitated, though she restrained her voice, preventing Hugh Kensington inside from hearing.
"What identity of mine?! If the identity of the Dalton Family’s grand lady is needed, just take it! Those shares in the Dalton Family, I could hand them all over!"
"Why can’t I be with a Kensington?!"
Felicity Dalton couldn’t fathom why the Dalton Family would have any feud with the Kensington Family.
Aside from the opposing views on Radiance and Stardust, Felicity Dalton truly had no clue.
She naturally understood her brother, this generation’s Family Head of the Dalton Family.
He was the Family Head selected after having eliminated his own siblings; his words were not to be disobeyed, and she knew he spoke from a place of care for her.
But Felicity Dalton didn’t want to give up, having worked hard for so long to finally be with the one she loves.
Yet now, even her own family wants her to relinquish this.
This feeling made Felicity Dalton’s heart ache intermittently.
Her eyes turned slightly red, her tone carrying near pleading, "Brother, please don’t stop me."
On the other end of the line, Stanley Dalton was silent for quite a while, finally sighing heavily.
This sigh was filled with a profound sense of helplessness.
"Quinn, you know I sincerely treat you as my sister."
Felicity Dalton was over twenty years younger than Old Mr. Dalton, and since he had never had a daughter.
He genuinely cared for Felicity Dalton.
He gave her almost all the love and affection.
Felicity Dalton’s voice was slightly choked, "...I know."
"But precisely because I know, it’s even harder for me to accept."
"You are the brother I respect, and if even you can’t support me, then I..."
Felicity Dalton didn’t continue the rest of her words.
She simply couldn’t express her emotions at the moment.
Stanley Dalton could hear the pain and sorrow in Felicity Dalton’s words.
His heart also felt somewhat heavy.
Initially, upon hearing Felicity Dalton was with Hugh Kensington, he hadn’t paid much thought to it.
His sister had a naturally cool demeanor from a young age, only showing a hint of warmth with him.
He thought dating someone younger was merely a fleeting indulgence.
After some time, it would fade away, but Stanley Dalton hadn’t expected that during the time he was occupied with Dalton family affairs, Felicity Dalton and Hugh Kensington’s relationship had grown stronger.
Furthermore, because of this, Felicity Dalton even moved out of the Dalton Family to live with Hugh Kensington.
This was something Stanley Dalton had never anticipated.
However, Felicity Dalton’s identity... destined her not to be with Hugh Kensington.
From the beginning, they stood on opposite sides.
"Quinn..."
Stanley Dalton’s heavy voice came through.
"Once you discover your true identity someday, you’ll understand your brother’s intentions."
"The Kensingtons are truly unsuitable for you."
"If Hugh Kensington knew your identity, would he still stay with you?"
Stanley Dalton’s words made Felicity Dalton’s eyes widen slightly in confusion, "Brother, what true identity of mine?"
"Are you still hiding something from me?!"
Felicity Dalton had been puzzled from the start, if it was merely commercial grievances between the Dalton Family and the Kensington Family, Stanley Dalton wouldn’t have gone out of his way to mention this.
She understood Stanley Dalton’s nature, though a bit cold-blooded, he retained family affection for Felicity Dalton.
Therefore, even if the other party was Hugh Kensington, Stanley Dalton would let it slide for Felicity Dalton’s sake.
But now Stanley Dalton specifically came to warn her, what exactly was the reason behind it?
"You will find out later, listen to your brother, withdraw early, lest you live a life filled with anguish."
"Brother! What exactly are you saying..."
Felicity Dalton was about to further question what Stanley Dalton’s words entailed, but before she could finish, Stanley Dalton disconnected the call.
Frantic, Felicity Dalton tried to call again, but found the other party’s phone was off.
She had no recourse but to suppress her inner doubts and anxiety, heading back inside.
Meanwhile, having hung up the phone and turned it off, Stanley Dalton sat alone in his study.
Darkness enveloped the surroundings, with only the desk lamp casting a faint glow.
Stanley Dalton sighed once more.
"Don’t blame your brother... this is the Dalton family fate, and it’s your destiny too."

In the days that followed, Selena Kensington frequently visited Vivian Sutton to knit scarves.
Sterling Norwood tried to peek in several times but was consistently refused by Selena Kensington with various excuses.
This made Sterling Norwood increasingly suspicious and convinced they must be plotting something.
Again, Selena Kensington came to Vivian Sutton’s home.
"Hey, why does your husband look so unwell lately?"
Sitting on the couch in the living room, Vivian Sutton asked.
When Sterling Norwood dropped Selena Kensington off earlier, Vivian Sutton went out to greet her.
She witnessed Selena Kensington hurriedly getting out of the car, leaving Sterling Norwood behind.
Then she saw the look Sterling Norwood gave her.
Gloomy, fierce.
Vivian Sutton felt as if Sterling Norwood’s look almost killed her.
Vivian Sutton still felt a slight unease at the thought of Sterling Norwood’s stare.
It was as if she had cheated on Sterling Norwood...
