Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 552: Dawn and Dusk Exposed 2

These topics surged in aggressively, quickly occupying the top three spots on the trending list.

And their popularity showed no signs of waning.

The number of people participating in the topic discussion kept increasing—from tens of thousands at first to an exponential growth later on.

By the time Vivian Sutton informed Selena Kensington about this, the number of participants had already reached ten million.

Selena Kensington opened those topics with a cold expression.

A number of unbearable comments came into view.

These matters were initially exposed by a marketing account.

Those marketing accounts posted quite a few photos.

All of them were from before at the shopping paradise.

In the photos, although Sloane Hawthorne’s face wasn’t clear in the night, you could vaguely see his full face.

Several photos showed Sloane Hawthorne talking to Silas Sinclair, with some showing Silas pinning Sloane against the car door for a kiss.

The final photo showed Sloane getting into Silas Sinclair’s car, and the two leaving together.

The words from that marketing account were ambiguous, seemingly trying to manipulate the mood of the netizens.

Eagle Eye: Explosive news! Rising star Sloane spotted getting cozy with a man in the open-air parking lot beside the shopping paradise in Aethelgard! Is the man Sloane’s boyfriend or simply a benefactor?

And beneath this message were the comments from the netizens.

[??? Isn’t that Sloane, our dear sister?! I don’t believe it!!!]

[Can’t believe sister Sloane is actually in a relationship?!]

[She’s only 19!!! Which man has laid a finger on her!!!]

[I can’t accept this, unfollowing now, goodbye!]

[Everyone, stay calm! This might just be a misunderstanding!]

[Ladies, hold on, don’t rush to unfollow! Let’s wait for sister Sloane’s explanation!]

[It can’t be a benefactor, surely, with Selena backing Sloane?!]

[To the person upstairs: when someone wants to climb up, anything is possible!]

[I thought Sloane was such a pure little girl. Who knew she’d start mingling with a boyfriend before even fully rising to fame!]

A slew of ’unfollow’ comments accompanied the later ones.

Amidst this, it seemed quite a few marketing accounts were fanning the flames.

And at this point, along with the rhythm set by those marketing accounts, innumerable unfollow comments flooded Weibo.

Selena Kensington was just about to call Hugh Kensington to discuss this when a refresh brought up yet another new revelation.

The target of this revelation... turned out to be Sloane’s roommate, Tiana Cheney!

Seeing Tiana Cheney’s name, an ominous feeling flashed through Selena’s mind.

She clicked to read the full text.

Tiana Cheney: Hello everyone, I’m Sloane’s roommate. I’m stepping forward this time because I can’t stand for everyone to be deceived by the persona she’s built! Sloane is never how you all see her!

Then, Tiana Cheney went on to list several incidents.

For example, how Sloane was always secretive around her, unwilling to say anything, almost treating her like an adversary.

Tiana thought Sloane was very hypocritical, clearly knowing a lot yet constantly withholding information from her.

Additionally, Sloane frequently checked her phone in secret and often left in a hurry.

Later, Tiana even posted photos she took after following Sloane, showing her getting into a car.

Since the last incident, Tiana had made up her mind.

If Sloane hadn’t been so unwilling to share anything with her, she wouldn’t have ended up at the tail end of the class in the tiered exams!

All of this, Tiana blamed on Sloane.

So, when Roxanne Sutton came to her to propose a collaboration and promised her a trove of benefits, Tiana agreed without a second thought.

If Sloane wouldn’t help her, she’d rely on herself to climb up!

Tiana posted a lengthy argument.

Seeing that message, the netizens were stunned.

[To be fair, Sloane is genuinely good at acting, but it seems her character is somewhat questionable...]

[Didn’t there already explode news about her behavior in the slums before?! No matter how she’s packaged now, her nature doesn’t change!]

[Shocked, I didn’t expect the person I used to be a fan of was actually like this?!]

[The car she got into was worth a fortune, so who the hell did she latch on to?]

[Please post evidence! Stop jumping on the hype train, okay?!]

[Until sister Sloane comes out, I choose to remain silent.]

[Are you really Sloane’s roommate?! I heard from Aethelgard Media that in the tiered exams, Sloane got all-round S ratings. She wouldn’t need to be jealous of you...]

This last comment was replied to by Tiana Cheney.

Tiana Cheney: I don’t understand why someone as insignificant as me would make her so wary. Thinking back, perhaps she’s just jealous of everyone, and can’t stand anyone being better than her!

And beneath Tiana Cheney’s reply, many netizens followed with their own responses.

Seeing Tiana Cheney’s words, a vengeful glint flashed through Selena Kensington’s eyes.

Sure enough, this Tiana Cheney isn’t a simple character.

During the last tiered exam, when Selena met Tiana, she felt a hint of oddity.

Little did she expect, behind her back, she would resort to so many underhanded tactics.

Even going to the extent of following and secretly photographing.

Selena couldn’t imagine that upon first meeting, Tiana was a barefaced, shyly smiling young girl.

But after one semester, her dark side became fully exposed, with a very clear intent to target Sloane.

Selena had just finished reading Tiana’s message when Hugh Kensington called.

"Sis, did you see the news on Weibo?"

Hugh’s voice carried a hint of urgency.

"Yes, I just saw it."

Selena’s voice was deep, and Hugh caught a hint of her anger from her ambiguous tone.

"Sloane and Sister Tingxin are both at my office now. Could you come over when you have a minute?"

He let out a slight sigh.

"Got it, I’m heading over now."

After finishing the call with Hugh, Selena hung up the phone.

Thereafter, Selena went to the dressing room, picked out a jacket, and left the main residence to head to Stardust Entertainment.

*

As Selena arrived near Stardust Entertainment, she saw the entrance being surrounded by a horde of entertainment reporters.

Stardust’s security wouldn’t let them in, so they just stood their ground outside.

How swift they are indeed...

It was probably premeditated long ago.

Gazing at those people, a mocking smile slowly curved on Selena’s lips.

She rolled up her car window and proceeded to the underground parking lot of Stardust Entertainment. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Upon reaching the underground parking lot, Selena noticed quite a few paparazzi lurking around there too.

Seeing Selena’s car approach, those hiding around the underground parking lot immediately rushed over.

"It’s Selena!!!"

"Selena’s here, hurry and ask her!"
