Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 522: Rosalind Blanchett’s Transformation
"She’s got quite the skills!"
Hearing Justin Osborne say this, Selena Kensington understood immediately.
"Thank you for telling me this."
Justin Osborne shook his head slightly, "I should be apologizing to you. All this time, I held back from seeing you due to a promise made to your mother."
Sterling Norwood glanced at Justin Osborne, "If you intervene in her life, it’ll mess up the causality."
After all, although Justin Osborne wasn’t part of the Clan of Celestial Masters, he had always been nourished by the Heavenly Master Power.
The Clan of Celestial Masters places utmost importance on the pull of bloodlines.
Justin Osborne still carried Grandma Jennings’s Heavenly Master Power within him. If he interfered in Selena Kensington’s life, it would likely trigger the seal of her Heavenly Master Bloodline.
Justin Osborne nodded, "Right."
Then, he looked at Selena Kensington again, "Girl, if you don’t mind, can you call me Uncle Justin?"
Justin Osborne had always been grateful to the Jennings family and cherished the time spent practicing with them.
Even after returning to Aethelgard, Justin often sent gifts to the Jennings family.
It was only after Julian Jennings and Connor Kensington died and the Jennings family went into seclusion that their communication was disrupted.
Especially when it came to his mentor sister Julian Jennings, Justin Osborne regarded her as his own sister.
Now that his mentor sister was gone, Justin Osborne was determined to protect the daughter she left behind.
Selena Kensington nodded with a smile, "I don’t mind, Uncle Justin."
Justin Osborne nodded happily, "If Aunt Julian saw you now, she’d be so proud."
"You were always her pride."
"Thank you."
Afterwards, Selena Kensington and Justin Osborne chatted for a while.
"What do you want to investigate?"
Justin Osborne asked.
"My father’s origins."
Selena Kensington replied.
"Connor? That guy..."
Justin Osborne muttered to himself.
But he didn’t continue asking.
"I see, find a time to contact me then."
Then, Justin Osborne handed his contact information to Selena Kensington.
Once everything was settled, the three of them went inside.
After entering, Silas Sinclair came over.
Justin Osborne left first.
Seeing Silas Sinclair with a smug look, Selena Kensington raised an eyebrow, "Cousin, what good thing happened to make you so happy?"
Silas Sinclair shook the wine glass in his hand and answered Selena Kensington pleasantly, "Nothing much, just that you’ll soon have a sister-in-law."
Moreover, it’s someone you know.
He didn’t say that last sentence.
Hearing Silas Sinclair’s words, Sterling Norwood let out a disdainful laugh.
Selena Kensington’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.
Is Silas Sinclair finally in love?
"Congratulations in advance to brother then."
Afterwards, because Sterling Norwood and Silas Sinclair had matters to discuss, Selena Kensington left them and went to find Vivian Sutton and the others.
Watching Selena Kensington leave alone, Hope Norwood followed her, having been keeping an eye on her in the venue.
When Selena Kensington arrived, the four of them were happily munching on sunflower seeds, looking like members of an audience enjoying the drama.
Selena Kensington glanced at the group of socialites who had finished dancing and were gathering together not far away.
"..."
She was silent for a moment.
"Are you... eating melon seeds?"
Selena Kensington thought for a moment and used the term "eating melon seeds."
Vivian Sutton quickly pulled Selena Kensington to sit down, "This is prime real estate for gossip. Behind those socialites, you can hear a lot of scandals!"
"Anyway, it’s boring here, why not listen to some gossip."
Selena Kensington thought so too.
Thus, she happily joined the gossip squad.
Iris Sinclair, while munching on sunflower seeds, spoke to Selena Kensington, "Sister-in-law, you just missed the best part!"
Selena Kensington looked over curiously, "Oh?"
Iris Sinclair began to gossip, "Just now, those socialites were gossiping about Rosalind Blanchett."
"Rosalind Blanchett was with Patriarch Blanchett today. She met many young talents, and given Blanchett Family’s status, many people are hurrying to please Rosalind Blanchett!"
"Rosalind Blanchett was certainly the center of attention among those socialites today!"
Phoebe Osborne leisurely added from the side, "That’s not surprising. Rosalind Blanchett has simply taken over Catherine Blanchett’s position. Given how unpopular Catherine Blanchett was among those socialites, it’s natural for them to want to counter Rosalind Blanchett."
"Tsk tsk, exciting!"
Vivian Sutton was listening intently and commented aloud.
Listening to the others’ words, Selena Kensington also showed interest.
The Blanchett Family isn’t entirely foolish; knowing that Catherine Blanchett had offended her, they promptly turned to cultivate Rosalind Blanchett.
It remains to be seen if Rosalind Blanchett will fulfill their wishes.
"Oh my, Rosalind Blanchett is there!"
Iris Sinclair suddenly exclaimed.
This abruptly attracted the attention of everyone on the sofa.
In front of them, they saw Rosalind Blanchett walk over into the crowd of socialites.
"Here she comes, the good show is starting."
Vivian Sutton enthusiastically rubbed her hands.
Selena Kensington also focused on the dynamics ahead.
Rosalind Blanchett approached them, trying to befriend those socialites.
As their conversations progressed, the faces of the socialites became somewhat uncomfortable.
Yet Rosalind Blanchett remained elegant and poised.
"Rosalind Blanchett has improved quite a bit..."
Selena Kensington was a bit surprised; this Rosalind Blanchett was very different from her first impression.
Could it be that everything before was just her cover?
Camouflaging herself as a spoiled and petty heiress reduced her threat to Catherine Blanchett significantly.
She also gained the chance to survive and thrive within the Blanchett Family.
Otherwise, if Rosalind Blanchett had presented such an image from the start, she would have surely become a thorn in Catherine Blanchett’s side.
If that were truly the case, Selena Kensington must reevaluate Rosalind Blanchett.
The fact she could disguise herself for so long surely meant she had deep insight and cunning.
Upfront, Rosalind Blanchett said something to those socialites and prepared to leave.
As she turned away, she caught sight of Selena Kensington sitting on the sofa not far off.
Rosalind Blanchett met Selena Kensington’s inquisitive gaze, and the smile on her lips deepened.
She raised her wine glass, gestured to Selena Kensington from a distance.
Then, she left the area.
Seeing Rosalind Blanchett’s recent behavior, Selena Kensington realized her speculations were correct.
Moreover, judging by Rosalind Blanchett’s demeanor, it seems she’s not looking to be adversaries.
Thus, regardless of Rosalind Blanchett’s intentions, it has nothing to do with her.
Understanding this, Selena Kensington no longer paid attention to Rosalind Blanchett.
"Tsk, they didn’t get into a fight?"
Vivian Sutton said somewhat disappointed.
Selena Kensington turned her head helplessly, "You wanted to see them fight?"
Vivian Sutton waved her hand, "Isn’t it commonly said in novels that parties always have a fight going on?"
"..."
Selena Kensington’s mouth twitched slightly.
If those socialites were to actually fight, it would be Selena Kensington who would have to clean up the mess.
