Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 218: Protecting One’s Own
Sloane Hawthorne was silent for a few seconds before answering, "My brother went to Apex Tech yesterday, and came back like this..."
Selena Kensington’s eyes narrowed dangerously, Apex Tech?
Are they bullying her people now?
"I understand, thank you."

On the third day, as soon as Jonah Hawthorne arrived at the company, he was stopped by Selena Kensington at the lobby entrance.
"President?"
Jonah Hawthorne asked, somewhat puzzled.
Selena Kensington spoke assertively, "Did I ever tell you, my assistant is not someone anyone can bully."
"... President, I can handle this."
Jonah Hawthorne was stunned, but Selena had already helped him a lot, and he didn’t want to trouble her further.
"You can handle it? By just letting those who plagiarized your work mock you?"
"Jonah Hawthorne, you’ve been with me for so long, you should find your old self again."
"Come with me."
Selena Kensington said bluntly.
Her words were sharp, but they made Jonah Hawthorne feel warm.
He could feel that Selena was indeed doing this for his own good and truly helping him.
Afterward, Selena Kensington forcefully took Jonah Hawthorne to the office building where Apex Tech was located. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
She entered Apex Tech with full presence.
Jonah Hawthorne followed behind her.
The receptionist glanced at Selena Kensington and Jonah Hawthorne as they walked in, and couldn’t help pulling out her phone to search.
"...?? Selena Kensington?"
Is it really her?
The receptionist was shocked, how could a small place like theirs attract a big shot like Selena Kensington?!
"Hello, may I help you?"
The receptionist suppressed her inner excitement and quickly caught up to ask.
"I’m here to see your General Manager."
"Oh, okay! Please wait a moment!"
The receptionist was internally delighted, thinking Apex Tech had caught Selena Kensington’s eye, so much so that she forgot to probe into the hostility in Selena’s eyes...
When the General Manager of Apex Tech found out that Selena Kensington had come, he was also very surprised. After repeatedly confirming it, he hurriedly invited them up.
The founders of Apex Tech were three people, all of whom were once Jonah Hawthorne’s partners.
Selena Kensington and Jonah Hawthorne walked in.
"President Kensington, it’s an honor..."
Manager Howard, the leader, was about to flatter but widened his eyes when he saw Jonah Hawthorne behind Selena.
The two people behind him also looked incredulous.
A bad feeling suddenly surfaced in their hearts.
It seemed like trouble was coming.
"Let’s skip the pleasantries. Let’s get straight to the point."
Selena Kensington sat down calmly.
Jonah Hawthorne stood respectfully behind her, silent.
"Yes, yes..."
Manager Howard could only sit down with a forced smile.
"I wonder what brings President Kensington here... Is there something we can do?"
Selena Kensington sat on the sofa, crossed her legs, propped her head with her left hand, and looked at Manager Howard with a faint smile.
"The person behind me, you all know him, don’t you?"
"...We do."
Manager Howard spoke cautiously.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you."
"Jonah Hawthorne is now my assistant. I heard he was wronged here a few days ago, so I came to see who..." Before Selena could finish, Manager Howard hastily interrupted her.
"It’s all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."
Cold sweat ran down his back. What was there not to understand?
He just couldn’t figure out, hadn’t Jonah Hawthorne been suppressed into the slums by them already?! How did he manage to hook up with Selena Kensington and rise again?!
And judging by Selena’s demeanor, she’s here to protect him...
With Selena Kensington’s current status, not even a hundred Apex Techs would dare to cross her.
Backing her is the Norwood Family.
