Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 797: Stardust Annual Gala

Sterling Norwood wrapped an arm around her shoulder, speaking in a deep voice, "Some descendants of the Fell Bloodline, scattered around the globe without family protection, have been attacked."

Upon hearing Sterling Norwood’s words, Selena Kensington’s eyes widened slightly.

Her heart was deeply shocked.

But after the shock, she quickly calmed down.

"How does the Godsbane Organization know their identities?"

She asked.

Among the descendants of the Fell Bloodline, there are their own rules and agreements.

They will not easily display their bloodline abilities in front of ordinary people, and they must try to integrate into ordinary society.

Regarding this, the descendants of the Fell Bloodline are particularly cautious and meticulous.

Even if some people might notice something unusual about them, it’s impossible to precisely confirm their identities and location.

Therefore, the Godsbane Organization must have other channels.

Sterling Norwood tightened his grip on her shoulder, his eyes reflecting a flicker of light.

"The Doomsday Carnival Feast."

As he spoke this phrase, there was a trace of sharp murderous intent in his voice.

Cold and dangerous.

Selena Kensington slightly tilted her head up, "Are you suggesting they got the information through the Doomsday Carnival Feast?"

Sterling Norwood replied, "At the Doomsday Carnival Feast, as long as you can afford the fee, you can get whatever information you want. Plus, Godsbane Organization has been operating outside for many years; the web they’ve woven is far from simple."

Selena Kensington nodded with a hint of understanding.

Her gaze showed a touch of worry, she said, "So, when Lark Mayfield mentioned having news about the Doomsday Carnival Feast earlier, could it be related to this as well..."

Earlier, when Selena Kensington and Sterling Norwood had visited the training camp to see Felicity Dalton, Lark Mayfield had mentioned something to Sterling Norwood before leaving that Selena Kensington had not forgotten.

Coupled with the recent events concerning the descendants of the Fell Bloodline...

"Hmm."

Sterling Norwood responded with a flat tone.

"Lark Mayfield has returned to Westport; this matter has alarmed her too, but right now she can only bring back the exact news at the Norwood Family banquet..." Sterling paused in his speech.

He lowered his head, pressing a kiss onto Selena Kensington’s forehead.

He gently murmured, "I’ll be a bit busy these days, behave yourself, okay?"

Selena Kensington blinked and obediently responded, "Okay, go ahead and be busy, don’t worry about me."

Now that such issues have arisen among the descendants of the Fell Bloodline, there will inevitably be considerable upheaval within their ranks. Given Sterling Norwood is an elite among these Fell Bloodline descendants, he is, in a sense, a leader.

Therefore, naturally, his involvement is indispensable.

All Selena Kensington can do is ensure her own safety, preventing Sterling Norwood from having to worry about her.

Sterling Norwood rubbed his chin against the crown of Selena Kensington’s head, his tone low and enticing, "Sleep now, my good baby."

Hearing this sentence, Selena Kensington felt a slight trace of numbness in her heart, causing her to uncontrollably curve her brows.

She appeared as if she’d been gently soothed.

She slightly turned her head and faced Sterling Norwood.

Looking at Sterling Norwood’s gentle and earnest gaze, Selena Kensington’s lips curved as she closed her eyes and drifted asleep in his arms.

In the following days, Sterling Norwood indeed became busy.

And Selena Kensington truly did not cause him much concern, diligently staying at the main residence while awaiting the Stardust Association’s annual event.

The date and location for Stardust’s annual event had long been announced.

This year’s event also invited numerous media outlets and agencies from the entertainment industry with prominence and standing.

Due to this year’s unique circumstances, many media and other talent agencies in the entertainment sector are eager to see Stardust’s actions, especially since Radiance has been quiet, so the media are quite looking forward to Stardust’s response towards Radiance.

Will it be a takeover or a choice to cooperate?

Most people choose to believe that Stardust will swallow up Radiance.

With Radiance previously merging with Aethel Entertainment, if Stardust gobbles up Radiance’s big pie as well,

then the whole entertainment industry would belong to Stardust.

At that point, what resources would be beyond Stardust’s reach? Then perhaps countless artists within the entertainment world would be scrambling to join Stardust.

However, there are still a few who believe Stardust will opt to collaborate with Radiance.

After all, despite Radiance being in decline and gradually sinking into obscurity,

a lean camel is still bigger than a horse; previously Radiance merged with Aethel, retaining some foundational strength.

Moreover, it still has backing from one of Aethelgard’s four great families—the Dalton Family.

So it’s still uncertain who will emerge victorious between the two sides.

Thus, some media outlets and influencers remain keenly interested in the final showdown between Stardust and Radiance.

And online observers continue to follow closely, curious about Stardust and Radiance’s next move.

Since Stardust disclosed the event details, many netizens have been speculating.

And there are those with spare time who’ve already started placing bets.

[Place your bets! Who will claim victory between Stardust and Radiance!]

[Honestly, I rather hope Stardust dominates, hahaha, given Stardust’s current policies are rather open-minded!]

[Stardust already controls half of the entertainment industry; surely it won’t overlook Radiance and Aethel too?]

[Look at what you’re saying upstairs, who wouldn’t want more people under their wing?]

[Isn’t the Award-winning actress dating Hugh Kensington? With their relationship, Stardust and Radiance should resolve things peacefully, right?]

[I think it’s possible. Hugh probably wouldn’t target his girlfriend’s family, right?]

[Consider this: if Stardust takes over Radiance, isn’t Felicity Dalton then becoming part of Stardust?]

Internet users fiercely debated online, offering various hypotheses with conviction.

If they knew this matter they’ve been speculating on had already been thrown into Hugh Kensington’s lap by a particularly lazy head of the Dalton Family, they would likely be shocked.

As media and influencers continued to speculate, the Stardust annual event arrived.

Selena Kensington, though fond of glamor, refrained from forcing herself into form-fitting evening dresses, aware of her current state of affairs. Instead, she opted for roomy, cozy coats and beneath them wore a floor-length dress.

The coat was long, reaching Selena Kensington’s knees.

Now seven months pregnant, Selena Kensington’s belly had grown substantially, sometimes preventing her from clearly seeing the ground.

As the due date draws nearer, she becomes increasingly cautious.

She’s already painfully switched from her high heels to comfortable, flat casual shoes.

Once ready in her attire, Selena Kensington preened before the mirror for a while longer, only leaving once satisfied with her look.

Waiting for her outside the main residence was still Hope Norwood.
