Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 540: Selena Kensington Learns About Zhao Mu and Chaomu Being Together
"My... my friend is picking me up."
"Really? Where is he then..."
Selena Kensington was a bit surprised at Sloane Hawthorne’s reaction.
Then it seemed like she thought of something, and gave Sloane a meaningful look.
"He’s waiting for me nearby, so sis, I’ll leave now."
Under Selena’s gaze, Sloane grew increasingly nervous.
It was as if time had stretched on endlessly.
Finally, when Selena said "Okay," Sloane let out a sigh of relief.
After that, she left.
Selena didn’t leave but watched Sloane’s departing figure.
She walked over to a car parked in the venue and got into the passenger seat.
After a while, the car left the parking lot.
Selena watched the car’s distant figure and jotted down the license plate number.
This license plate seemed to be the same one from the car in the shopping paradise parking lot last time.
It was only after the car had gone far that Selena left The Venti Hall with Hope Norwood.
*
After returning to the main residence, she changed out of her jewelry and clothes.
The more Selena thought about it, the more familiar the license plate number seemed.
Then, she asked Vivian Sutton.
She sent the license plate number over.
[Selie Stays Slim]: Don’t you think this license plate looks familiar?
[Vivian Stays Rich]: ?
[Vivian Stays Rich]: Familiar is putting it lightly, it’s incredibly familiar!
[Vivian Stays Rich]: Isn’t this the license plate of that car Silas Sinclair often uses?!
"?"
Selena finally understood why it looked so familiar. It seemed that Silas Sinclair really liked to drive this car when traveling privately; she’d seen it a few times but still wasn’t sure.
So, Sloane’s ’friend’ is actually Silas Sinclair?
The sudden departure at the cinema was also because Silas arrived?
[Selie Stays Slim]: How do you know so well?
Selena thought for a moment and decided to ask Vivian clearly.
To avoid any misunderstandings.
In her impression, Silas was a high-cold aristocrat, his high-status making it difficult to stir his emotions.
Moreover, the meetings between Silas and Sloane were sparse...
Could it be that they were developing a secret relationship without her knowing?
[Vivian Stays Rich]: When I stayed with my mom at the Sinclair home, I often saw Silas using this car, and my mom always told me that it was his favorite something-something car...
[Vivian Stays Rich]: So I remembered it.
[Vivian Stays Rich]: Why, what happened?
Seeing Vivian’s message, Selena was momentarily speechless.
With what Vivian just said, the matter was settled.
So, they really are together?
Selena wasn’t actually against it; she was just a bit surprised.
How two strong personalities could blend together like this.
[Selie Stays Slim]: Your earlier guess might be correct.
[Vivian Stays Rich]: ? Which one?
[Vivian Stays Rich]: Could it be Sloane and Silas are really together?!!!!
[Selie Stays Slim]: Yes.
After sending this, Vivian called her excitedly.
Selena helplessly answered the call.
Once she connected, Vivian’s excited voice came through.
"Whoa whoa whoa!!! I told you my guess was right!"
"You didn’t believe me before! Got you, didn’t I!!"
"So, how far along are they? Could it be a secret relationship?"
Vivian shot a string of questions at her.
Selena waited until she finished before speaking, "I only just found out myself."
"Ah? So, Sloane hasn’t told you yet?"
Vivian asked in surprise.
"No."
"She might still have concerns, as you know, she is quite strong and independent."
Selena understood Sloane.
If it weren’t because she couldn’t suppress her feelings, Sloane probably wouldn’t be willing to be with Silas at this time.
Because, for her, Silas’s identity was like a mountain between them.
"Yeah...exposing their relationship now wouldn’t be good for Sloane or Silas."
Vivian sighed softly and said.
Sloane was in her career’s ascent, especially when "Butterfly Flame" hit theaters her worth would soar.
Faced with numerous endorsements and scripts waiting for her to choose.
She might even move onto the international stage.
And Silas... the firstborn of the Sinclair Family, the already decided next Family Head.
Just this identity was incredibly prestigious.
Not to mention he was the youngest chief in The Empire, with more followers on Weibo than some top celebrities.
His fangirls were even more numerous and intense.
If Silas were to announce a relationship, one couldn’t imagine the scrutiny Sloane would face.
After all, for such a prestigious and eligible bachelor to choose an actress from humble beginnings.
This would be enough to spark the outrage of the Aethelgard high society ladies.
So, announcing their relationship now wouldn’t benefit either of them.
"Yeah, so I’ll wait for her to say something herself."
"Alright."
After chatting a bit more with Vivian, Selena hung up.
She lay down for a while.
It was only when Sterling Norwood returned did Selena get up and move to the foot of the bed.
She called out to him, "Aiken."
Sterling loosened his tie, and upon hearing, walked over.
He sat down at the foot of the bed and asked, "What’s up?"
Selena, sitting at the foot of the bed, reached out to gently pinch Sterling’s neck.
"Tell me, did you already know about cousin and Sloane?"
"..."
Sterling was momentarily taken aback, then raised an eyebrow slightly, "So, he finally won her over?"
Hearing his words, Selena realized.
"So, cousin is still pursuing her? Sloane hasn’t agreed yet?"
Selena could hardly imagine what it was like for Silas to pursue someone.
Hmm...
The image was hard to believe.
And while Sloane hadn’t agreed yet, she was probably close to doing so.
After all, if Sloane really wanted to reject Silas, she would do so decisively.
Yet today, Sloane got into Silas’s car.
This showed that she had eased her defenses for him.
Sterling’s question nearly made Selena forget her purpose.
She glared at Sterling.
"Don’t try to change the subject!"
"If I hadn’t guessed it, were you planning to keep this from me?"
Selena had just recalled it while lying in bed.
Since it was Silas’s cherished car, and Sterling had known him for so long.
It wouldn’t be possible for him not to recognize Silas’s beloved license plate.
So he had already identified it as Silas earlier at the shopping paradise.
