Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 422: Ajing Has Arrived

Under Selena Kensington’s orders, everyone on the film set stopped filming.

They checked the equipment one by one.

After all, if it weren’t for Cole Vaughn just now, Selena would have been in danger.

At that time, they couldn’t bear the blame.

Nor could they withstand the wrath of Sterling Norwood.

Afterwards, under the inspection of the entire crew, they really found that the components of two or three pieces of equipment were also loose.

Selena breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

It seemed like it was really an accident.

If it were only the hoist component that was loose, Selena would still doubt if someone deliberately wanted to harm her.

However, after a thorough check revealed many small problems, Selena dispelled her doubts.

But...

When Sterling Norwood received this news at The Imperial Building, he immediately got up from the conference room and left.

His face was sullen and indifferent.

Leaving behind a bunch of bewildered executives.

In the crew Selena was in, Sterling had arranged for a few hidden guards to be incognito.

Therefore, when Selena had an accident first, those hidden guards reported it to Sterling.

Following behind him, Silvester Norwood’s expression was also somewhat grim, after all, he was the one who reported it.

When Sterling and Silvester Norwood arrived at the set, Selena had just let the staff return to their positions.

Hearing the commotion at the door, Selena turned her head to look over.

Sterling appeared at the door, followed by Silvester with a grave expression.

The surrounding staff all backed away from him, fearful.

Regardless of anything else, at this moment Sterling seemed to be in a rage.

His eyes were stern and cold, each step he took engraved a mark on their hearts like a knife.

For a moment, the staff’s hearts were in their throats.

After all, this incident was their negligence, and if Selena really got hurt, if Sterling blamed them...

Just thinking about the consequences made them shudder involuntarily.

"Ajing?"

Seeing Sterling, Selena instinctively called out.

After calling him, she realized how bad Sterling’s expression was.

His eyes held a coldness that couldn’t be dissolved.

Seeing the look on Sterling’s face, Selena knew he already knew about what happened.

Sterling ignored the people around and walked straight up to Selena.

Selena quickly spoke ahead of him "I’m fine, it’s an accident, don’t worry."

Sterling’s steps halted, and his thin lips pressed slightly.

Even though his overbearing aura diminished a lot after hearing Selena’s words, it still made the nearby staff anxious.

Only Selena dared to ignore his terrifying aura.

Afraid he wouldn’t believe her, Selena turned around in front of him.

Confirmed she was really fine, just a bit startled.

Sterling’s deep eyes remained inscrutable "Come home with me."

Selena sighed silently, nodded to reassure him.

"Alright, wait for me a bit."

Afterward, Selena left the rest of the matters to Lea Dutton.

Telling them to rest and not film today.

The crew seeing Sterling appear, knew filming probably wouldn’t happen today.

So they started packing up the equipment.

Selena glanced around.

Calmly issued a veiled threat "About today’s matter, I don’t want to hear a word outside, understood?"

"Everyone, understand what I mean?"

Today was the first day of filming "Butterfly Flame", if word got out, it might get exploited and tarnished.

Selena wouldn’t let that happen.

Those present glanced at the composed Selena, and when their eyes met the dignified and cold Sterling behind her, they flinched slightly.

They nodded quickly.

"Don’t worry, Director Kensington."

"Yeah, we don’t want this to happen either..."

Seeing Sterling behind Selena backing her up, there wasn’t anything they didn’t understand.

No one dared cross the Norwood Family.

Then, Selena left with Sterling.

Not far away, Cole Vaughn watched the two leave hand in hand, the light in his eyes gradually dimming...

*

In the car.

Selena touched Sterling’s face, and frowned slightly, feeling the abnormal warmth.

"You’re sick?"

Otherwise, why is your temperature so high... 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Sterling took the hand on his face, brought it to his lips and kissed it.

"No."

It’s just that when he heard about her accident, he couldn’t suppress the turbulent rage within, his blood resonated with his emotional turmoil, becoming active.

Selena looked at him skeptically, but seeing his usual expression, she didn’t ask further.

She instead brought up today’s incident.

"I just checked, it doesn’t seem like the components were deliberately loosened, and there’re small issues with other equipment too, so it was really an accident..."

The loosening components might not have been noticeable before, only worsening after recent use.

That’s why the accident happened today.

This can’t be blamed on anyone, Selena just had to consider it bad luck.

"...Okay."

Sterling’s hand ran through Selena’s hair, soothingly stroking it.

His eyes, however, cast a deep shadow.

What worried him was, if it really was an accident.

When they returned to The Northwood Estate, Sterling immediately called for the Norwood Family physician to examine Selena.

Selena sat on the sofa helplessly, obediently letting the physician examine her.

The physician finished his examination and said "Madam has no issues..."

The Norwood Family physician was about to say there were no issues.

But meeting Sterling’s gaze, he paused, twisting his words slightly.

"However, Madam was a bit startled, it’s better to rest for two days."

The Norwood Family physician thought, today was just another day of succumbing to the Family Head’s intimidating gaze.

"..."

Something seemed off to Selena.

She was startled earlier, but she had calmed down since then.

Why does he make it sound so serious?

She looked suspiciously at Sterling beside her.

Seeing his usual expression, he ruffled her head when she looked over.

"Then rest at home for two days."

Hearing this, Selena understood.

The physician’s words likely had Sterling’s influence.

However, she did worry Sterling today.

So Selena didn’t oppose the physician’s arrangement.

"Let the physician also check if you’re sick."

Selena was still concerned about Sterling’s unusual warmth earlier.

She tugged at Sterling’s sleeve, pulling him down to the sofa.

"The Family Head is sick?"

The Norwood Family physician was startled.

He was directly affiliated with The Northwood Estate, the master’s illness was no small matter.

Not to mention Sterling’s constitution, he wasn’t someone to fall ill easily...
