Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 835: Chapter 835: Reversal and Slap in the Face

Compared to Tessa Sinclair’s obvious disgust, Sloane Hawthorne appeared much calmer.

Selena Kensington glanced at Sloane’s situation and knew the assistant issue hadn’t affected her much.

She then turned to look at Hugh Kensington with satisfaction.

She asked, "What about later, what’s the plan?"

Hugh clicked his tongue, "Those hooligans have already been controlled. They admitted someone contacted them, told them about Sloane, and taught them how to take advantage of her. These hooligans were just living idly, and upon hearing there were benefits, naturally agreed immediately."

Upon hearing this, Selena furrowed her brows.

So, the person behind all this did not reveal themselves.

Selena continued, "What about the phone card, have you checked it?"

Even if they didn’t appear, there should still be clues from the phone.

Hugh responded with a ’hmm’ and continued, "Checked it, but the person behind this was cautious; they destroyed the phone card after contacting them last. We were a step too late."

Listening to Hugh’s words, Selena was somewhat surprised.

This indicates that the person targeting Sloane isn’t foolish.

At the very least, she’s careful about this matter.

But the more cautious she is, the more it implies that if the matter is revealed, it poses a greater threat to her.

Selena pondered for a moment, saying, "Proceed with the plan. Don’t take too long, or rumors will start spreading within the Sinclair Family."

If this person is truly Jane Rhodes, given her identity and status within the Sinclair Family, she might spread some misleading words internally.

Even if it doesn’t cause substantial harm to Sloane, Selena wouldn’t want even rumors to arise within the Sinclair Family.

The Sinclairs are a prominent family, and if Sloane becomes Silas Sinclair’s wife, she’ll have to face those women in the Sinclair backyard. To ensure Sloane gets along with them, these rumors shouldn’t appear within the Sinclair Family.

Hugh responded, "I understand, it won’t take too long. The online buzz is leveling off, pressing further won’t be effective."

Everything has its limits, Hugh understands this.

If pressed too hard initially, the reversal will be more dramatic.

But the degree of pressure is limited; pressing too hard may backfire.

Hugh continued, "We’ve informed Sloane’s major fans ahead of time, who know what to do. Thus, there’s no mass defection from fans, only those trolls jumping around."

"Moreover, some media and major accounts haven’t interfered in this matter. Those involved are less reputable ones hoping to gain fame through this. These are easy to tackle."

Hearing Hugh list the details, Selena nodded, "If you can handle it, good."

Then Selena ended the call.

She got up and walked out of the study, bumping into Sterling Norwood.

Seeing her come out of the study, Sterling quickened his steps considerably.

He approached Selena and asked, "What were you busy with just now?"

Selena looked up at him, smiled, then said, "It’s about Sloane, we’ve nearly got it, it’s time to wrap up."

Sterling never paid much attention to entertainment matters, but due to his wife’s particular interest, he was inevitably influenced, gaining some insight into the entertainment industry.

Especially as Sterling had previously joined Selena’s fan group, where the major fans know who he is. They often discuss topics related to Selena, so Sterling occasionally learns a lot.

Thus, when Selena mentioned it’s about Sloane, Sterling vaguely understood.

He placed his hand on Selena’s lower back, stroking it through the fabric.

Selena felt his movement and glared at him, "Stop being so handsy!"

"..." Sterling looked innocently at her.

Seeing Selena still glaring, Sterling reluctantly withdrew his hand.

His wife wouldn’t even let him touch her waist now...

Sterling said, "Let’s go have dinner."

"Mm, let’s go," Selena said and then held Sterling’s hand.

Sterling glanced at their entwined fingers and a smile flashed in his eyes, leading Selena downstairs.

Hugh indeed didn’t let Selena wait long, responding a day later.

Sloane directly posted a lengthy statement on Weibo, explaining the truth with old photos from the slums.

Sloane Hawthorne V: ........ I can’t erase my past, but I can control my future. Thankful for my current opportunities, I’ll strive to repay your appreciation. [Images][Images]...

Stardust Entertainment’s official Weibo directly reposted Sloane’s post.

Stardust Entertainment V: Stardust firmly believes in Sloane’s character. For those media fanning flames with falsehoods, Stardust will take legal action against them. [Images]//@Sloane Hawthorne V: ...

The image on Stardust Entertainment’s post is a statement regarding the incident.

Netizens who had been waiting for over a day surged upon seeing the posts from Sloane and Stardust Entertainment.

[If this is real, Sloane’s past was indeed tragic! Being entangled by hooligans for so long, disgusting indeed!]

[Stardust, being a leading entertainment enterprise, wouldn’t support an artist without integrity, so dissipation is advised! Who knows the intentions behind this!]

[Evidence please?! Their words alone can’t count as a reversal!]

[Aren’t the trolls above still jumping around? Perhaps investments were increased?]

[Am I the only one focused on Sloane’s past photos? So handsome and bold! That melancholic defiance vibe is stunning! As a face lover, I’m turning into a fan!]

[You’re not alone upstairs! As a level ten face lover, Sloane’s past photos carry such an unbeatable aura! So perfect! While her current style and dress are nice, there’s a certain charm missing.]
