Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 468 - 467:

After that, Stardust Entertainment’s official Weibo account posted a message.

Stardust Entertainment V: Regarding the behavior of some media spreading slander about our artist, Sloane Hawthorne, we will initiate a lawsuit. [Image][Image]...

This lawsuit, once announced, not only caught the attention of the netizens who were still debating which side to support but also startled the media outlets that had been paid by Roxanne Sutton.

"Is Stardust really serious this time?!"

"No way... Is the lawsuit just a hoax to fool us?!"

"Idiot! How could a big company release something fake?"

"So what do we do now..."

"It’s okay, the most we’ll have to do is compensate..."

But even so, it made those media outlets unwilling to accept it.

They were doing their job for money, but they didn’t expect they’d end up losing a lot of money!

"Have you contacted the buyer yet?!"

"No... They’ve blocked us!"

"Damn it!!!"

Although Roxanne Sutton got her agent to use a hard-to-trace number to contact these media outlets,

those media outlets, having been in the business for years, could still guess who sought them out.

Seeing things go wrong, Roxanne Sutton abandoned them and cut all ties cleanly.

For a while, the media turned their resentment towards Roxanne Sutton.

Meanwhile, on Roxanne Sutton’s side.

She saw that the discussions about Sloane Hawthorne’s dirt online were being effortlessly redirected by Selena Kensington within an hour.

She was so angry that she wanted to smash her phone on the spot.

"Are these netizens blind?! Even this can’t tarnish Sloane Hawthorne?!"

"They’re actually believing Selena Kensington’s words without checking?!"

"Haha!"

Roxanne Sutton never imagined that something which should have been enough to damage Sloane Hawthorne’s reputation would be so easily resolved by Selena Kensington!

Moreover, it gained Sloane Hawthorne quite a few fans!

Now, a lot of netizens are flocking to Sloane Hawthorne’s Weibo, announcing they want to join her fan support group.

Roxanne Sutton lost out on both ends.

Her agent frowned slightly beside her "Don’t make a fuss about this incident, act as if it has nothing to do with us, understood?!"

When Selena Kensington personally stood up for Sloane Hawthorne, the agent realized their plan had failed.

Afterwards, the agent decisively cut off contact with those media outlets.

To prevent them from exposing them.

Roxanne Sutton paused for a moment, still slightly unwilling "Don’t worry, of course, I won’t go around announcing it. But I’m still not reconciled..."

"In what way am I inferior to that wild girl?!"

The agent responded somewhat helplessly "Her academic background does stand out there. If you also graduated from Aethelgard Media University, how would netizens criticize you?"

Roxanne Sutton’s eyes suddenly lit up "Yes! I’ve got it!!!"

She exclaimed loudly.

"Sloane Hawthorne couldn’t possibly have no friends at Aethelgard Media University, so I’ll start with her friends..."

"Let her taste the feeling of betrayal."

Roxanne Sutton said sinisterly.

How could those freshmen who just joined the Film and Television University refuse the goodwill of a big star like her?

As long as she firmly controls Sloane Hawthorne’s friends, casually tempting them at the right moment, would she fear not getting some dirt on Sloane Hawthorne?!

Originally, Roxanne Sutton’s attention was drawn to Sloane Hawthorne because of Selena Kensington.

But after this matter, it was Roxanne Sutton’s resentment towards Sloane Hawthorne that made her want to ruin her.

Besides, Sloane Hawthorne is now Selena Kensington’s focus on grooming.

If something happened to Sloane Hawthorne, wouldn’t that be equivalent to clipping one of Selena Kensington’s wings?

However, the agent somewhat disagreed "This kind of thing takes too much time, don’t spend too long on it, you have a lot of events lined up ahead."

Roxanne Sutton, however, wasn’t pleased "I’ll handle this myself, no need for your help."

"As for other arrangements, I will take care of them."

On hearing Roxanne Sutton’s words, what could the agent do?

Could only sigh helplessly.

In the end, the agent warned Roxanne Sutton "You better not go too far."

"Otherwise, if Selena Kensington gets angry, even President Dalton won’t be able to protect you!"

Roxanne Sutton snorted coldly, but her tone did soften "Got it."

The next day, at The Empire office, Silas Sinclair saw his subordinates gathered together, discussing something.

Silas Sinclair frowned slightly, about to reprimand them, when he heard what those subordinates were discussing.

"Sigh, if you ask me, I’m still all for the Jang-Di couple pairing!"

"What do you know! The official couple is Allard-Selena!"

"Don’t say that, Sloane Hawthorne definitely has potential to rise!"

"Balabala..."

The subordinates continued their discussion, completely unaware that Silas Sinclair was standing right behind them.

"..."

Silas Sinclair didn’t expect to hear Sloane Hawthorne’s name from his subordinates.

He suddenly recalled his conversation with Sloane Hawthorne a few days ago.

Feeling instantly annoyed, his expression turned cold.

"What are you doing!"

The subordinates, who were passionately discussing, were startled upon hearing Silas Sinclair’s voice.

"C-Commander, hello!"

Inside, they were close to tears, wondering how they could be caught by the Commander at such a moment.

This is bad; the Commander is infamous for being ruthless and extremely strict with his subordinates.

They were discussing openly in the hallway, and got caught by the Commander...

They didn’t know if they’d get fired over this.

For a moment, they felt their career prospects bleak.

"What were you discussing just now."

Silas Sinclair repeated the earlier question.

The subordinates looked at each other in dismay.

Judging by the Commander’s demeanor, he didn’t seem angry...

A braver subordinate tentatively spoke up "Commander, we were discussing the recently popular Jang-Di couple pairing online..."

Silas Sinclair’s expression remained unchanged "Jang-Di couple pairing, what is that."

Seeing no sign of anger on Silas Sinclair’s face, the subordinate gathered courage to continue.

"It’s the CP name for Selena Kensington and Sloane Hawthorne, derived from the phonetic play on their last names."

The subordinate thought this explanation would suffice for Silas Sinclair to let them go, but unexpectedly, Silas Sinclair asked another question.

"What’s CP?"

The subordinate was stunned.

Then they realized that their high and mighty, all-capable Commander knew nothing about these things. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Seeing the rare trace of confusion on Silas Sinclair’s face, the subordinates excitedly began explaining.

"CP is the shorthand for character pairing, indicating a relationship between characters."

"Wasn’t there CP fans for the Allard-Selena couple? It refers to Selena Kensington and that Norwood fellow. Yesterday, Selena stood up for Sloane Hawthorne, so many people paired them as a CP, called ’Jang-Di’."

Silas Sinclair showed a thoughtful expression, then ignored his subordinates and walked into the office.

The subordinates behind him, looking like they survived a trial, exchanged looks.

"Is the Commander... going to let it go?!"
