Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 836: Chapter 836: Jane Rhodes’s Thoughts

[Stop jumping around everywhere, pretty face! Even if you’re attractive, so what?! Can that erase her past of hanging out with those thugs?]

[Why are these haters still jumping around? Didn’t you see the statement Sloane Hawthorne made? She was brave enough to admit it openly, which is already great, and she didn’t make any excuses. She said what she did was what she did, and there’s nothing else to explain.]

[+1, after all, Sloane Hawthorne might not want to remember such a past either, but the fact that she didn’t deny or argue about it deserves my support!]

While discussions were heating up online, Stardust provided sufficient evidence.

Including the breach of contract termination of the assistant who sold out Sloane Hawthorne’s whereabouts, and the confessions from those thugs.

When this evidence was made public, especially the remorseless chat content of those thugs, even the bystanders got a bit angry, not to mention Sloane Hawthorne’s fans.

[An assistant leaking a celebrity’s whereabouts already goes against industry moral standards, doesn’t it?!]

[This assistant is terrifying, isn’t she? To do such things for personal gain! If those thugs wanted not only to benefit from Sloane Hawthorne but had other intentions as well... wouldn’t Sloane Hawthorne’s personal safety be at risk?!]

[Those thugs are way too arrogant, aren’t they? Are they fearless or what!? They must want to ruin Sloane!]

[Getting tangled with disgusting societal scum like this is truly distressing, especially since Sloane was only a 17-year-old girl back then!]

[Disgusting! Fortunately, Sloane now has a better life and has Stardust as a backing; otherwise, who knows how these thugs would have threatened her! Strongly demand Stardust files a lawsuit against those thugs!]

[Strongly demand Stardust sues them!]

The incident quickly turned around; once Stardust released all this evidence, the haters and cyber-trolls who had been making noise instantly went silent.

The situation’s heat gradually dropped after the turnaround.

Stardust, listening to the wishes of netizens, handed over the assistant who leaked the whereabouts and those thugs pestering Sloane Hawthorne to the security bureau for appropriate punishment.

Online, public opinion shifted from initial curses and shouting to sympathizing with Sloane Hawthorne’s misfortunes, with some bystanders even becoming Sloane Hawthorne fans.

This whole affair only lasted three to four days.

When Jane Rhodes saw the reversed opinions online, her fist on the table instinctively tightened.

Her hand adorned with bright red nail polish, as red as blood.

Her face had a gentle Southern charm, but her slightly round eyes showed a trace of hatred and regret.

She looked hatefully at the computer in front of her.

On the computer screen was Sloane Hawthorne’s social media page.

She was on the page where Sloane Hawthorne posted that personal statement.

She glared venomously at Sloane’s statement and then turned to the maid standing beside her.

Jane Rhodes coldly said, "Didn’t you say that even if this didn’t ruin her, it would at least damage her reputation?! But now I see no sign of damage to her reputation! Instead, she gained more fans from this incident!"

Jane Rhodes originally thought this incident would deal a significant blow to Sloane Hawthorne, but never imagined it would have the opposite effect!

She inadvertently helped Sloane Hawthorne!

The public always sympathizes with the weaker side, and now Sloane Hawthorne is exactly the weak one! So they’re not bothered about her past but feel empathetic towards her experiences.

This isn’t what Jane Rhodes wanted!

A few months ago, Jane Rhodes found out the man she had admired since childhood already had a girlfriend.

When she was young, Jane Rhodes thought Silas Sinclair was indifferent to everyone, even his own sister, never showing a better side to anyone.

He was always noble, aloof, as if no one could reach his heart.

But the more Silas Sinclair was like this, the more Jane Rhodes was attracted.

From a young age, she knew what she wanted.

She wanted to be Silas Sinclair’s wife, to become the Sinclair Family’s Lady.

And coincidentally, her identity helped her quickly integrate into the Sinclair Family, and through her aunt, Jane Rhodes swiftly secured a place in the Sinclair Family’s backyard. Since she lived there from a young age, she had even more opportunities to get close to Silas Sinclair.

When Jane Rhodes had to leave the Sinclair Family to return to the Rhodes Family, Silas Sinclair was still like that, with no one able to get close, so Jane Rhodes left with peace of mind.

But she never expected that her departure would allow another woman to slip in!

Jane Rhodes recalled the recent information she gathered about Sloane Hawthorne, with a flash of malice in her eyes.

The other woman wasn’t from any prestigious family nor a socialite but just an orphan growing up in a welfare center! Now mixed in the entertainment circle, how clean could she be?!

Jane Rhodes wondered how she was worthy!

Yet it was this Sloane Hawthorne for whom Silas Sinclair was willing to do so much.

Thinking of what Silas Sinclair had done, Jane Rhodes’ eyes were filled with even deeper envy.

The maid next to her listened to Jane Rhodes, and feeling the ominous vibe she was emitting, was secretly alarmed.

But she maintained a respectful response, "Miss, if Sloane’s backing weren’t Stardust, indeed this matter would have dealt her a sizeable blow."

"But nowadays, Stardust is an industry leader in the entertainment circle. The Rhodes Family hasn’t ventured into this field; plus, since Stardust wants to protect Sloane Hawthorne, it’s challenging to take action. Moreover..."

"Stardust is a Kensington Family business; the current Lady Kensington is the Norwood Family’s Lady, and it’s said that she was the one who discovered Sloane Hawthorne, otherwise Sloane wouldn’t have her current status."

Jane Rhodes’ eyes flashed upon hearing the maid’s words. "What are you trying to say?"

This maid was brought from her hometown, staying loyal by her side since young.

The maid smiled slightly, then whispered, "Since Sloane Hawthorne relies on Stardust and the Norwood Family’s Lady, and essentially it’s the Norwood Family’s Lady she’s leaning on, perhaps Miss could overshadow Sloane in the Lady’s eyes; thus, the Norwood Family’s Lady might turn to help you, wouldn’t she?"

Hearing the maid’s idea, Jane Rhodes furrowed her brows slightly, hesitating, "But... I have never met this Norwood Family’s Lady. If not only can I not get her help and instead anger her... not even Aunt can protect me."
