Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 370: The Jing-Se Scholarship
So this time, I brought it along to Aethelgard.
"Alright, hand it over to the technical department later. Have them compare your work with previous entries from The Aura Showcase."
"Lea, go find Shushu and assist him in uncovering the shady dealings The Aura Showcase has been up to over the years."
Selena Kensington assigned the tasks.
Lynn Rhodes looked at her in surprise, "Are you really... planning to keep me safe?"
Selena Kensington smiled, "If I can’t even keep you safe, I have no right to invite you to Aethelgard."
Since she brought her here, if something happens to Lynn Rhodes, she would have to bear the responsibility.
Lea Dutton smiled and held Lynn Rhodes’ hand, "Don’t worry, sister Lynn. Sister Selena is very protective of her people. Let’s complete the task first."
"...Okay."
Once Lynn Rhodes and Lea Dutton left, Selena Kensington collapsed into her chair.
She closed her eyes, pretending to nap.
She hadn’t rested for long when her phone rang.
Looking at her phone, she was a bit surprised.
It was Heath Hayes.
Selena Kensington answered the call, "Professor, is something the matter?"
Heath Hayes’s voice came through, "Selie, you curious girl, are you secretly accomplishing big things?"
Selena Kensington was a bit puzzled, "Professor, what are you referring to?"
Heath Hayes detected Selena Kensington’s confusion, paused, and said, "The scholarship established at Aethelgard Media University, wasn’t that done by you and your husband?"
Selena Kensington was momentarily stunned at the word ’scholarship’ before she heard the rest of Heath Hayes’s words.
Sterling Norwood did it?
"...This should be my husband’s doing. I was unaware."
"Looks like your husband truly loves you. The scholarship is named after both of you..."
Heath Hayes said.
Selena Kensington’s eyes slightly widened, "You mean it’s called..."
"The Norwood-Kensington Scholarship."
Heath Hayes answered her question.
A warm feeling flowed through her heart, reaching deep within it.
Heath Hayes continued, "This scholarship is funded directly by The Imperial Building. It can continue indefinitely, and both the quota and amount are several times higher than other scholarships at Aethelgard Media University."
"The school administrators have discussed inviting you to give a speech for the new students when the military training ends."
"After all, you are an outstanding graduate of the school, aren’t you? Sharing some experiences with the juniors would be nice too."
Selena Kensington chuckled, "What kind of experience could I share?"
"...Ahem."
Heath Hayes was also a bit embarrassed, as Selena Kensington’s life journey has been incredibly smooth.
Not to mention her talent and potential, she also has a powerful backing.
Asking her to go up and share experiences, wouldn’t that heavily impact those new students?
"...Just say a few words of encouragement and inspire them."
After all, it was the school’s request, and Heath Hayes couldn’t really refuse.
Though he also thought having Selena Kensington give a speech might deter those new students even more.
"Alright, when would it be?"
Selena Kensington was somewhat helpless, but since it was her mentor calling, she couldn’t refuse.
"The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, at ten in the morning, in the grand hall."
The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival?
It’s just in the next few days...
"Okay."
After confirming the time and place with Heath Hayes, they hung up the phone.
Selena Kensington thought of what Heath Hayes mentioned about the Norwood-Kensington Scholarship and was still processing it.
After a long while, she chuckled softly.
She suddenly felt that her husband surprisingly had a reserved side.
He did this without saying a word.
Unable to contain her joy, Selena Kensington called Sterling Norwood.
"Ah Jing."
The call was promptly answered, and Selena Kensington promptly said.
"What’s up?"
The voice on the other end was cool, with a hint of affection and warmth.
"Did you secretly do something big behind my back...?"
Holding the phone, Sterling Norwood’s hand froze, and his breath briefly faltered.
She found out?
Impossible... No one dared to tell her.
Then it must not be that matter...
Sterling Norwood suddenly recalled when planning an anniversary trip with Selena Kensington, Silvester Norwood had a suggestion.
At that time, he seemed to agree to let Silvester handle it on his own.
"...Mhm."
He acknowledged it.
"Today my mentor called, asking if I could give a speech to the freshmen... and I thought, what experience could I possibly share with them..."
"I’m just fortunate to have you."
Selena Kensington said with a teasing tone.
Upon hearing this, Sterling Norwood’s mouth curved into a smile, "Mhm, you could say that to them too." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"Pfft, hahaha... That’s not appropriate, is it?"
Selena Kensington couldn’t help but laugh, she could even imagine if she really said that, those juniors would be devastated.
After all, there’s only one Sterling Norwood in this world.
"When will the speech be?"
Sterling Norwood asked.
"The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, ten in the morning. I estimate it’ll be over before noon."
Selena Kensington answered him.
"Mhm, I’ll pick you up then."
Selena Kensington’s eyes twinkled with delight, "Great! Then I’ll show you around the campus."
She regretted the short time she spent at the school back then.
But taking a stroll around the campus with Sterling Norwood felt pretty nice too.
"Okay."
The affectionate voice echoed in her ears, causing Selena Kensington’s ears to itch a little.
Ah, her weakness for voices!
After finishing her conversation with Sterling Norwood, Selena Kensington hung up the phone.

Two days later, The Aura Showcase’s art director, Lana Blanchett, posted on her Weibo account.
Lana Blanchett V: Very grateful to Director Kensington for choosing my student, Lynn Rhodes, as the costume designer for the new work. If Lynn Rhodes lacks in any way, please bear with her, Director Kensington. @SelenaKensingtonV.
Lana Blanchett’s verification indicated she was the art director of The Aura Showcase.
Initially, not many people noticed this Weibo post, but after Lana Blanchett hired internet commenters and bought trending hashtags, more people saw it.
[?? Lynn Rhodes is the student of The Aura Showcase’s art director?]
[...Does Lana Blanchett mean Lynn Rhodes isn’t qualified yet?!]
[Why did Director Kensington choose the student instead of the teacher...]
[Students can be outstanding too! Everyone, trust in Director Kensington’s judgment!]
[...I feel Lynn Rhodes’s style is completely different from The Aura Showcase’s!]
[Each has their strengths, maybe Director Kensington was drawn to Lynn Rhodes’s designs!]
[...Suddenly remembered The Aura Showcase’s spokesperson is Roxanne Sutton. Didn’t she offend Selena Kensington before, could it be...]
[Why bring Roxanne into this? Please no conspiracy theories, thank you!]
[Are you implying our sister brought personal feelings into her work? Don’t be absurd, thank you!]
Due to Lana Blanchett’s comments, netizens expressed their opinions on the matter.
Since Selena Kensington didn’t particularly address this issue and with The Aura Showcase’s internet commenters intensifying the situation.
This matter gradually evolved into doubts about Lynn Rhodes’s qualifications and accusations of Selena Kensington being emotional.
