Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 839: Chapter 839: Jane Rhodes Makes Her Entrance

Her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly spoke, "Quick, quick, what kind of good show is it?!"

After saying that, she seemed to think of something, and her voice began to sound hesitant, "Could it be... about Sloane?"

Vivian Sutton is a girl addicted to the internet, so surfing online is naturally inevitable.

Therefore, Vivian Sutton knew a bit about what happened over the past few days.

Vivian Sutton thought carefully for a while, tonight’s Sinclair Family banquet was being held to announce Silas Sinclair as the new Family Head, and what concerned Silas was naturally Sloane Hawthorne...

And just a few days ago, something had happened with Sloane Hawthorne.

Vivian Sutton thought back to the numerous unmarried socialites attending the banquet today, and a vague suspicion arose within her.

She looked at Selena Kensington and spoke uncertainly, "Was someone behind slandering Sloane earlier?"

Selena Kensington slightly hooked the corner of her mouth, "Smart!"

Vivian Sutton heard the affirmation in Selena Kensington’s words and felt faintly encouraged, so she boldly continued with her guess, "Moreover, that person is at the banquet tonight."

Selena Kensington nodded slightly, "Mm."

Vivian Sutton immediately understood. Her gaze stealthily swept over the socialites outside the pavilion or in other pavilions, then she clicked her tongue, "I want to see who dares to bully our sister Sloane."

Selena Kensington helplessly turned her head back, "Sis, that look in your eye is too obvious."

Vivian Sutton heard, and slightly stuck out her tongue, then turned around.

Iris Sinclair also curiously glanced outside, but whatever she saw caused her initially good mood to chill.

"Why is she here, tsk!" Iris Sinclair’s words were filled with undisguised disgust and disdain.

Selena Kensington and Vivian Sutton heard Iris Sinclair suddenly say something like that and looked puzzledly in the direction Iris Sinclair was looking.

A few people were walking over there.

Leading them was a woman whose looks were somewhat gentle, making her stand out amidst the socialites.

It’s not that she was particularly outstanding, but the expression of undisguised arrogance on her face made her conspicuous among the seemingly obsequious socialites surrounding her.

So, in comparison, the woman at the forefront became particularly noticeable.

A stranger.

Selena Kensington made an internal judgment, then turned her head to ask Iris Sinclair, "What’s wrong? Who is that person?"

Vivian Sutton was also puzzled, "Who is that? Why have I never seen her before?"

Iris Sinclair withdrew her gaze irritably and seriously explained to Selena Kensington and Vivian Sutton.

"You probably don’t recognize her because you haven’t been back in a while. That’s the niece of your Aunt Jane. Her name is Jane Rhodes. She only returned to Aethelgard a short while ago, and you had already moved out by then, so it’s normal for you not to have seen her."

Iris Sinclair finished speaking and shrugged her shoulders.

"Anyway, I don’t have any affection for this woman."

Upon hearing Iris Sinclair mention Jane Rhodes, Selena Kensington’s eyes narrowed slightly.

That woman is Jane Rhodes?

No wonder she was surrounded by so many socialites; those people probably wanted to use Jane Rhodes’s special position in the Sinclair Family to latch onto Silas. Unfortunately, they didn’t realize Jane Rhodes wasn’t without her own schemes...

Vivian Sutton recalled Iris Sinclair mentioning Jane Rhodes earlier, and curiously asked, "What’s she done to make you dislike her so much?"

Iris Sinclair clicked her tongue, and her face showed clear resistance towards Jane Rhodes.

"This woman seems gentle and composed on the surface, but she has many crafty schemes in her heart..." Iris Sinclair finished then paused, speaking again in a much quieter voice, "I suspect... that the incidents involving Sister Sloane were her doing behind the scenes!"

Vivian Sutton’s eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing Iris Sinclair’s words.

On the contrary, Selena Kensington seemed much more composed.

Because she indeed inclined towards believing that Jane Rhodes was responsible. Hearing Iris Sinclair’s suspicion further confirmed her thoughts.

Vivian Sutton’s voice lowered as well, "Could it be that she harbors feelings for my cousin too?"

Iris Sinclair replied, "Of course, she’s nearly thirty and hasn’t considered marriage, but since returning to the Sinclair Family, she’s constantly looking for opportunities to see my brother. Such an obvious aim, only a fool wouldn’t notice."

"Even though she knows my brother already has a partner, there’s no way she’d be content. After waiting so long, and showing no signs of good intentions, that woman must be exceedingly jealous of Sister Sloane!"

Vivian Sutton’s eyes widened slightly, losing all favor towards the niece from her big aunt’s family she had scarcely met.

She sighed, "Then it probably is her, tsk... given Aunt Jane’s face, it’s really hard to do anything against her."

After all, Aunt Jane treated her well, so she couldn’t publicly disgrace her.

Iris Sinclair snorted lightly, "What is there to fear? She’s merely an outsider, not even considered a relative of the Sinclair Family, trying to occupy a place here?!"

After Iris Sinclair finished, she glanced outside the pavilion.

Then muttered, "Why is she coming over here?"

Upon hearing Iris Sinclair’s words, Vivian Sutton swallowed back the words she was about to say.

Her eyes carried a hint of schadenfreude as she watched Jane Rhodes approach the pavilion.

Selena Kensington paused with her hand raised, holding the teacup.

An intrigued glint flickered in her eyes as she continued to lift the teacup.

She had been wondering how to find an opportunity to test Jane Rhodes, but unexpectedly, Jane Rhodes had approached on her own.

Recalling Iris Sinclair’s words earlier, a hint of coldness flashed in Selena Kensington’s eyes.

If Jane Rhodes was truly responsible, she wouldn’t let her off easily.

As Jane Rhodes walked in, her lips curved upwards slightly into what she believed was the most perfect arc.

Since Selena Kensington was facing sideways towards her, Jane Rhodes could only see Selena Kensington’s profile.

One hand raised a teacup while the other rested quietly on the stone table.

Her gaze slightly lowered, concealing the expression in her eyes.

So Jane Rhodes did not see the coldness in Selena Kensington’s eyes.

Seeing Selena Kensington, Jane Rhodes couldn’t help but admit she was indeed momentarily awed by Selena Kensington’s beauty.
