Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 844: Chapter 844: Wash That Filthy Mouth of Yours

"Madam."

She respectfully lowered her gaze.

Afterwards, without waiting for Selena Kensington to speak, Hope Norwood directly walked over to Jane Rhodes.

In the face of Jane’s terrified gaze, she suddenly grabbed her neck and hair, pressing her head down.

"Cough, cough, cough!!..."

Jane was startled by Hope’s sudden action.

At the same time, the pain from her scalp and neck made her feel breathless.

Her face flushed slightly because of her actions.

"Ah!..."

None of the socialite daughters around Jane had expected Hope to suddenly make such a move, all backing away a few steps in fright.

The surrounding socialite daughters also hadn’t expected such a sudden action, and their eyes were filled with surprise.

However, a few members of the Norwood Family showed no change in expression.

In their view, Hope’s actions were nothing but entirely correct.

After completing those actions, Hope turned her gaze to Selena.

Selena nodded at her.

So, Hope dragged Jane over to the side of a small pool.

There were quite a few pavilions and small pools in the Sinclair Family’s courtyard.

In the small pool, many aquatic plants and koi were bred.

Hope rudely pressed Jane’s face down to within ten centimeters of the pool’s water.

Only a bit more pressure from Hope, and Jane would be forced to drink the pool water.

"Cough... Let... Let me go..."

At this moment, Jane felt breathing was incredibly difficult, being shackled by Hope.

Even turning her head was difficult, because any attempt to struggle would make Hope’s grip on her neck tighter.

Jane desperately pleaded to Selena.

Unfortunately, Selena didn’t respond to her pleas.

Instead, she walked to her side, with coldness in her eyes, "Since you’re so bad at talking, how about letting this pool water wash your filthy mouth?"

If those words by Jane just now were spread around, heard by the socialite daughters here today, the rumors would fly, and Sloane Hawthorne’s reputation would be ruined.

Upon hearing Selena’s words, some of the socialite daughters who had earlier not understood suddenly realized the reason.

For a moment, any sympathy they felt for Jane dissipated.

These socialite daughters at the scene had been formally trained, possessing a certain level of refinement.

They can privately slander people they dislike, but if they publicly say it in such a social setting, once caught, they can only suffer the consequences of saying such words.

Hence, none felt sympathy for Jane.

They’re adults, after all; they must take responsibility for their words, right?

With Selena’s words, Hope hesitated no more.

She directly pressed Jane’s neck and submerged her into the pool water.

"Cough, cough!!..."

Jane was forced to take a mouthful of pool water.

Tasting a fishy smell in her mouth, a look of disgust and fear flashed on Jane’s face.

But it wasn’t over yet, Hope pressed her in to take three more gulps of pool water.

Because Hope’s actions were swift and forceful, Jane was forced to drink quite a bit of pool water.

Feeling that unpleasant pool water in her stomach, once the third time ended and Hope released her, Jane couldn’t hold back and began to vomit at the edge of the pool.

"Ugh... cough!"

Seeing Jane’s unsightly actions, many of the socialite daughters looked away in amusement.

However, Iris Sinclair, observing Jane’s actions, flashed a schadenfreude look.

She said, "Hey, don’t stink up my family’s fish!"

Listening to Iris’s words, an obvious resentment flashed across Jane’s pale face.

From the torment just now, Jane could hardly maintain her original image.

She raised her head to look at Selena.

Selena slightly lowered her eyes, looking down at Jane.

"Don’t let your so-called cleverness blind you, better remember what you’ve done."

Upon hearing Selena’s words, Jane instinctively thought of what she did to Sloane Hawthorne before.

Her previously pale face suddenly turned ashen.

Selena knew so early?!

Wouldn’t her approaching today be a joke in Selena’s eyes?! No wonder she targeted her like this...

Jane felt incredibly aggrieved inside, her fists tightly clenched.

At this moment, members of the Norwood Family stepped out, speaking with concern, "Lady, such people aren’t worth your personal effort, please rest aside, we will handle punishing her."

These members of the Norwood Family saw Selena standing for a while, worried it would tire her, thus they spoke with concern.

Selena slightly shook her head at them.

"No need, just a trivial figure."

Hearing Selena’s words, Jane could only resent silently inside, not daring to show any dissatisfaction on her face.

Just then, Lady Sinclair and women from Sinclair Family’s rear courtyard appeared from the front hall.

"What’s happening?"

Lady Sinclair saw the scene before her, with a flash of surprise in her eyes.

While behind Lady Sinclair, Jane’s aunt gasped seeing Jane kneeling by the pool, "Jane?! What’s happened to you!..."

After speaking, she intended to rush over.

Seeing Jane’s aunt appear, Selena didn’t say much but slightly made way for Jane’s aunt to approach.

When Jane’s aunt reached Selena, she nodded slightly before moving to Jane’s side.

"Aunt..."

Seeing her aunt arrive, joy filled Jane’s eyes.

But when she saw her aunt specifically greeting Selena on the way, her heart turned cold.

Exactly how powerful is Lady Norwood’s influence? Even her aunt is...

For the first time, Jane realized how little she knew about Lady Norwood.

"Mom!" Iris called out when she saw Lady Sinclair appear.

Vivian Sutton also noticed Lauren Sinclair behind Lady Sinclair.

She obediently called out, "Mom."

Then the two moved to their respective mother’s side, standing quietly.

Lady Sinclair slightly nodded to Selena, then asked with concern, "Selie, it’s been a long time, is your health well?"

Selena smiled and replied, "Everything’s well, thank you, aunt, for your concern."

Hearing Selena’s answer, Lady Sinclair smiled and redirected her attention. She looked at her youngest daughter beside her, lightly chiding, "Up to mischief again, are you?"

Lady Sinclair is a typical gentle beauty.
