Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 838: Chapter 838: Sinclair Family Banquet

However, no matter what she intends to do.

Selena Kensington will not let her schemes succeed.

Not just anyone can meddle with her people.

*

After Sloane Hawthorne discussed that matter with Selena Kensington, she took leave from Stardust.

Upon learning about this, Selena merely gave a faint smile and said, "Let her be."

Sloane Hawthorne probably also understands that even if she wins Silas Sinclair’s affection, it doesn’t mean she can easily integrate into high society.

High society has many etiquettes and social nuances to observe, especially at the Sinclair Family’s banquet, where many political and business figures will be present. A slip-up could lead to major trouble, not just a minor bother.

That’s why Sloane Hawthorne took the effort to request leave to learn some aristocratic social etiquette.

Upon thinking this, Selena Kensington decided she might as well do Sloane a favor.

She called Iris Sinclair and explained her intentions.

"Huh? You want me to go?" Iris Sinclair replied in surprise to Selena Kensington’s request.

Selena Kensington detected the blatant surprise in Iris Sinclair’s words and asked, "Are you unavailable?"

Hearing this, Iris Sinclair instinctively shook her head, then realized Selena couldn’t see her head shake, thus quickly replied.

"No, no... it’s just, cousin-in-law, you know.

Iris Sinclair’s voice gradually carried a hint of awkwardness and embarrassment, "Cough... I used to be mischievous, didn’t learn social etiquette that well... can I really teach my future sister-in-law?"

Iris Sinclair, though playful, grew up in a renowned family like the Sinclair Family, naturally aware of many things.

She understands the importance of this banquet for Sloane Hawthorne, so she feels a little concerned about whether she can teach Sloane well.

Upon hearing Iris Sinclair’s explanation, Selena Kensington’s eyes sparkled with amusement.

She replied leisurely, "How come, Lady Sinclair, would you be intimidated by this matter?"

Iris Sinclair, as the Sinclair Family’s lady, knows well that despite her playful nature, she won’t lose her dignity in front of outsiders.

Moreover, entrusting it to Iris Sinclair, Selena Kensington feels at ease.

Upon sensing the unabashed trust in Selena Kensington’s words, Iris Sinclair relaxed and felt less pressured.

She smiled and agreed enthusiastically, "Alright! I’ll take this chance to bond with my future sister-in-law!"

A few days later, the Sinclair Family’s banquet arrived.

Due to the special status of the Sinclair Family, the banquet wasn’t widely publicized.

It’s only spreading within high society.

And the attendees include some influential political and business figures.

Many received word that the purpose of this Sinclair Family banquet is to announce Silas Sinclair as the Family Head.

Since Silas Sinclair is still unmarried, despite having a girlfriend, nothing is set in stone until they wed. So, many families with ulterior motives brought their eligible heiresses.

Thus, when Selena Kensington stepped into the Sinclair Family’s grand courtyard, she saw many young ladies gathered and chatting.

While their parents were on the other side, talking about work-related matters.

Selena Kensington glanced at those gathered heiresses and then withdrew her gaze.

She indeed wants to figure out who’s behind setting up Sloane Hawthorne, but there’s no need to delve into it right now.

As soon as Selena Kensington and Sterling Norwood appeared in the Sinclair Family’s grand courtyard, many people focused their attention on them.

Especially some branches of the Norwood Family attending the banquet, feet already heading their way.

After all, many are attending the banquet today, and with Selena Kensington pregnant, the Norwood family is keeping a close eye on her.

Seeing those Norwood family members approaching proactively, others around them instinctively made way.

Those people walked up to Selena Kensington and Sterling Norwood, then respectfully bowed their heads, "Family Head, Lady."

Sterling Norwood slightly nodded towards them.

Then he lowered his head to look at Selena Kensington, "Where do you want to go?"

Selena Kensington glanced at the people there, spotting Vivian Sutton with Iris Sinclair.

Vivian Sutton happened to be looking at her, saw her glance, and happily waved at her.

Selena Kensington smiled at her, then turned to Sterling Norwood, "Vivian and Iris are over there, I’ll go find them. You handle your business."

Upon hearing this, Sterling Norwood looked over there.

Sure enough, he saw Iris Sinclair and Vivian Sutton sitting in a pavilion.

Due to their status and position in the Sinclair Family, no one dared to sit with them, leaving them alone.

Seeing this, Sterling Norwood nodded slightly, "Mm."

After stating, he looked at Hope Norwood following Selena, "Take care of the Lady."

Hope Norwood stood upright, responding respectfully, "Yes, Family Head."

Then, Sterling Norwood left with some other Norwood family members.

While Selena Kensington, accompanied by Hope Norwood, headed towards where Vivian Sutton and Iris Sinclair were.

Upon entering the pavilion, Vivian Sutton couldn’t wait and stood up.

She said, "Your belly is getting bigger, isn’t it inconvenient for you now?"

Vivian Sutton finished her sentence and helped Selena Kensington sit down on a chair in the pavilion.

Selena Kensington glanced at her irritably and said, "What do you think? Even bending over takes a lot of effort."

Vivian Sutton chuckled, raising her hand to touch Selena Kensington’s belly.

She continued, "Inside is my godson or goddaughter, just bear with it a bit longer."

"Shoo, shoo..." Selena Kensington dismissively slapped her hand away.

Then Selena Kensington looked at Iris Sinclair, who was smiling while watching their interaction, "Iris, how’s your progress recently?"

Iris Sinclair knew what Selena was implying.

It was nothing more than inquiring about Sloane Hawthorne’s situation.

She raised her eyebrow, eyes flashing with her own brilliance, "Rest assured, cousin-in-law, there’s nothing amiss."

Upon hearing Iris Sinclair’s confident assurance, Selena Kensington’s eyes sparkled with a hint of amusement.

She said, "Then I am at ease."

Vivian Sutton, looking baffled at their cryptic conversation, suddenly joined Selena, "Are you two conspiring behind my back? Is there a surprise drama today?"

The further she spoke, the more curiosity filled her eyes.

Upon seeing Vivian Sutton’s expression eager to watch a spectacle, Selena Kensington glanced at her with a full smile.

"You’re already in the know?"

Vivian Sutton always gravitates towards a good spectacle.

In college, thanks to this knack for drama, she dragged Selena Kensington to many places.

Upon hearing Selena Kensington’s words, Vivian Sutton knew she had guessed correctly.
