Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 693: End of the Banquet

"Where, where..."

"Every family has its own difficult scriptures to recite, Patriarch Blanchett, no need to apologize."

"Rest assured, Patriarch Blanchett, we certainly won’t take it to heart."

"In that case, I shall take my leave now."

After these people finished speaking, they dispersed, leaving the banquet hall in batches.

And after those people started leaving, Selena Kensington also had no intention of staying.

"Let’s go."

She cast a glance at Roxanne Sutton and Annelise Mayfield, and then left hand in hand with Sterling Norwood.

After Selena Kensington and Sterling Norwood left, Spencer Norwood, Annelise Mayfield, and Roxanne Sutton also followed suit.

Seeing that the Family Head and Lady had left, the Norwood family members naturally wouldn’t stay either.

"Patriarch Blanchett, farewell."

They casually greeted Kane Blanchett, then followed in the footsteps of Sterling Norwood and Selena Kensington.

The Norwood family members left the banquet hall.

Because even as a branch, among Aethelgard’s high society, they are talented young masters and ladies.

Not inferior to those cultivated heavily by other families.

So, walking together and with their handsome and beautiful appearances, they became a scenic beauty line.

Making those heiresses walking beside them sigh with envy towards Selena.

In Aethelgard’s high society, marrying into the Norwood family is considered an honor.

Because with the Norwood family, no matter how high your status or how powerful your mother’s family is.

The Norwood family members marry only following their hearts.

Because marriage alliances won’t happen in the Norwood family.

They are already strong enough not to need these things anymore.

And every woman married into the Norwood family, besides enjoying the love of their husband and the protection of a powerful family, must absolutely adhere to the family rules.

The rules of the Norwood family, although intricate and complex, can be summarized into one point.

That is, unconditional support and obedience to the Norwood main line.

Compared to the rights they enjoy in the Norwood family, this requirement is rather trivial.

So, no woman would be unwilling.

Upon exiting the banquet hall, Roxanne Sutton nervously asked, "What do you need me to do next?"

She did not believe Selena Kensington kept her without any purpose.

Selena Kensington lightly chuckled.

"Just stay assured for now, I will call you when needed."

Upon hearing this, Roxanne Sutton slightly pressed her lips together and said nothing more.

"I’ll send a car to take you back."

"For the next few days, you can be at ease, the Blanchett Family still needs to deal with today’s mess, and they don’t have time to handle you."

Selena Kensington spoke lightly.

The Blanchett Family, because of today’s events, could hardly take care of themselves, let alone have time to deal with Roxanne Sutton.

Besides, Roxanne Sutton was currently a guest of the Norwood family.

The Blanchett Family wouldn’t be so foolish as to make a move on Roxanne at this time.

With Selena Kensington saying this, it amounted to giving Roxanne Sutton some short-term assurance.

So, she stopped worrying and left with Annelise Mayfield in a car.

After Annelise Mayfield and Roxanne Sutton left, Selena Kensington and Sterling Norwood also got into a car and left.

After all the guests had left, the waiters in the banquet hall began to clean up the aftermath.

In the lounge on the second floor of the banquet.

Patriarch Blanchett, Old Master Dalton, Sidney Dalton, Samuel Dalton, and Catherine Blanchett, who had been released from Annelise Mayfield’s control, were all inside.

The atmosphere inside became somewhat heavy for a moment.

Except for Catherine Blanchett’s weak, low sobbing, the others seemed very silent.

And Samuel Dalton leaned against the wall, playing with his phone nonchalantly.

The chat interface on the phone was with Selena Kensington on WeChat.

[Samuel]: So boring, sis, these people are so dull. What’s there to discuss?

As soon as Samuel Dalton sent this message, a message from Selena Kensington came in on WeChat.

[Selie Stays Slim]: Don’t bother your sister.

"..."

Seeing those familiar words, Samuel Dalton didn’t need to think much to know it was Sterling Norwood who sent the message.

He chuckled lightly, putting away his phone.

And after a moment of silence, a few people gradually spoke out.

"Patriarch Blanchett, with such things happening now, I think it’s best to put our marriage alliance on hold for now."

Old Master Dalton said solemnly.

He spoke elegantly, saying it was just temporarily on hold.

But everyone in the room understood that the marriage between Catherine Blanchett and Sidney Dalton was impossible now.

Catherine Blanchett immediately stopped crying, quickly raised her head, "No, Uncle Dalton, it was all Roxanne Sutton deliberately!..."

Before Catherine Blanchett could finish, she was fiercely glared at by Patriarch Blanchett.

"Shut up! There’s no place for you to speak here! Stay put or get lost!"

Catherine Blanchett was startled by Patriarch Blanchett’s look and dared not speak again.

She could only sit quietly on the sofa.

Sidney Dalton frowned slightly at the sight.

The marriage alliance with the Blanchett family could certainly elevate the Dalton Family, but since this incident did not involve Sidney Dalton’s position as the Family Head, Sidney chose not to interfere.

After all, what Catherine Blanchett did was enough to revile someone.

He knew Catherine was not a nice person, but he didn’t expect her to have such malicious thoughts from such a young age.

Her jealousy and malice would only become more intensified now.

If his future wife harbored such malevolent thoughts and resentment, even if the Blanchett and Dalton families couldn’t form an alliance, Sidney wouldn’t hold onto anything.

After all, he and Catherine Blanchett were just using each other from the start.

Now that Catherine herself self-destructed and exposed these things, he had no responsibility or obligation to accept her.

Old Master Dalton was already somewhat tired due to today’s events, but since it didn’t involve much of the Dalton Family, Old Master Dalton could still speak amicably here with the Blanchett Family.

"Let’s leave it at that. The previous cooperation between the Blanchett and Dalton families will not change, but let’s forget about the marriage alliance."

Having said that, Old Master Dalton intended to stand up with the aid of his cane.

"Yes, Mr. Dalton, take care..."

Patriarch Blanchett smiled wryly.

And just as everything seemed to quiet down, Catherine Blanchett suddenly raised her head.

She spoke eerily, a hint of madness flashing across her eyes.

"Do you think you can escape!"

"You’re the one who abandoned her! I’m destroyed; don’t think you’ll escape either!"

She was speaking to Sidney Dalton.

Sidney Dalton slightly frowned, just about to say something, but Catherine continued.

"Roxanne Sutton had Selena Kensington protecting her today! Maybe all of this is Selena’s doing behind the scenes!"

"That woman just can’t stand to see me doing well! You’ve been targeting her before, she definitely won’t spare you!!"

"Isn’t she just relying on a bit of looks!!!..."

Before Catherine could finish her words, a sharp knife suddenly flew towards her.

Slicing straight across her arm and embedding into the sofa behind her!

Catherine’s voice abruptly ceased.
