Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 599: Selena Kensington Faints

Selena Kensington watched their performance attentively, occasionally sketching some details on the notebook in front of her.

When Vivian Sutton and Sloane Hawthorne finished performing, there was a round of enthusiastic applause from the audience.

The three judges also displayed expressions of admiration and satisfaction.

They then proceeded to individually critique and score the performance of Vivian Sutton and Sloane Hawthorne.

Finally, it was Selena Kensington’s turn to provide feedback.

She didn’t deliver a lengthy speech, merely placing one hand on the table in front of her to support her chin, smiling at Vivian Sutton and Sloane Hawthorne, saying, "Well done."

Upon hearing Selena Kensington’s words, Vivian Sutton and Sloane Hawthorne exchanged a glance.

Their eyes were filled with joy.

After the commentary ended, the two left the stage.

After they performed, a few other people went on stage in between.

Selena Kensington saw Annelise Mayfield.

She walked up, apparently noticing Selena Kensington as well.

Without any reserve, she gave a provocative glance at Selena Kensington.

Selena Kensington smiled at the corners of her mouth, disregarding the look from Annelise Mayfield.

However, the audience in the live broadcast caught Annelise Mayfield’s gaze.

[Did Annelise Mayfield just give Director Kensington a provocative look?!]

[Does Annelise Mayfield know Director Kensington??? Is there a conflict between them?]

[I bet Director Kensington doesn’t really care about her, after all, she’s just a rookie who hasn’t debuted yet...]

[A rookie daring to provoke a veteran like that, tsk tsk...]

[You all are making a drama out of a look?! Just enjoy the performance!]

[Yes, yes, our Annelise is such a treasure girl!]

Amidst the viewers’ heated discussion about Annelise Mayfield’s gaze at Selena Kensington, Annelise Mayfield began her performance.

Selena Kensington studied the expression in Annelise Mayfield’s eyes carefully.

As Vivian Sutton had said, her eyes were indeed very expressive.

Looking into her eyes, it seemed impossible not to get lost in the emotions they conveyed.

In this scene, Yara Helmsworth’s expression was cold and indifferent.

As if she didn’t care about Zane Quinn’s departure.

But deep in her eyes, there was a hidden deadness and sorrow.

Selena Kensington watched the feelings Annelise Mayfield portrayed, unable to help but follow the movement of her gaze.

Yet, at the moment when Annelise Mayfield’s eyes held a trace of sadness, Selena Kensington suddenly felt a wave of nausea.

It was a sickening, nearly vomiting sensation.

This feeling amplified as she stared into Annelise Mayfield’s eyes.

Selena Kensington lightly supported the back of her head with her hand, attempting to steady herself, but her vision suddenly became distorted and blurry.

She seemed to see some of those past dark and gloomy images.

Those thoughts that haunted her before she committed suicide in a past life seemed reawakened, leaving her momentarily lost.

She shook her head slightly, trying to clear her mind.

Only to feel everything go black before her eyes.

Before she passed out, she heard the cries of many people.

"Director Kensington!!!"

"Lady!!!"

"Sister!!!"

After that, Selena Kensington couldn’t remember what happened.

On stage, Annelise Mayfield abruptly halted her performance.

Her eyes showed a flicker of confusion as she gazed at the unconscious Selena Kensington.

This sudden incident caused the recording site to plunge into chaos.

Both the online viewers and the in-person audience rose up, looking toward the commotion.

"What happened!?!?"

"Director Kensington fainted!!"

"What’s going on!? Why did Director Kensington suddenly faint?!"

The three judges quickly stood up, helping to support Selena Kensington.

Hope Norwood also rushed forward at the first opportunity.

"Lady!"

She called out to Selena Kensington.

Then applied pressure to Selena Kensington’s philtrum, but she showed no signs of regaining consciousness.

Hope Norwood’s eyes darkened, then turned to the program staff who came over.

"I need to take Lady away."

After Hope Norwood said this, the staff quickly cleared a path.

Many people were already clearing the passageway.

Backstage, Sloane Hawthorne and Vivian Sutton saw Selena Kensington faint and rushed out.

"What happened, how did Selie faint?!"

Vivian Sutton cried out anxiously.

Then they assisted Hope Norwood in getting Selena Kensington out of the recording site.

After Sloane Hawthorne left the recording site, she returned to communicate with the program team.

"Continue recording the show, calm the audience, and explain publicly that the fainting was caused by anemia."

"We will provide explanations for other matters later."

"Remember, don’t say anything unnecessary."

Sloane Hawthorne’s later words carried a hint of warning.

After all, this semi-final was being recorded live, and Selena Kensington’s fainting incident would soon be known across the internet.

Sloane Hawthorne had to stop the matter before it escalated.

Otherwise, Sloane Hawthorne worried that people might exploit Selena Kensington’s incident for their own agenda.

The show’s staff understood the implication in Sloane Hawthorne’s words, and they nodded quickly, "Don’t worry, Miss Hawthorne, we know what to do."

When Vivian Sutton and Hope Norwood took Selena Kensington to the parking lot outside, Vivian Sutton didn’t continue following.

"Ah-hope, Selie is in your hands."

Vivian Sutton looked worriedly at Selena Kensington lying in the car.

"Rest assured, Miss Sutton."

Hope Norwood said and then sat in the passenger seat.

Vivian Sutton watched Hope Norwood drive away before heading back to the recording site.

With Sloane Hawthorne’s earlier reminder, the program team quickly calmed the public.

Though online users still had doubts about what happened to Selena Kensington, it hadn’t yet spread across the internet.

Luckily, Selena Kensington was a special guest judge; her departure didn’t greatly impact the show.

The semi-finals of "Star of Entertainment" continued.

*

After Hope Norwood took Selena Kensington away, she called Dr. Norwood and Sterling Norwood.

When Hope Norwood returned to the main residence with Selena Kensington, many servants rushed out.

"Where is Lady?"

They ran out worriedly.

Upon Hope Norwood’s signal, they opened the back seat door.

At this moment, Selena Kensington slowly awakened.

Though not as dizzy as before, her stomach still felt slightly off.

Suppressing her discomfort, she tried to sit up.

Then noticed the servants of the main residence gazing at her with anxious eyes.

"Lady has awakened!!!"

"Thank heavens, Lady, you’re safe."

"..."

Selena Kensington didn’t understand what had transpired during her unconsciousness, but seeing the worried and anxious eyes of the servants, she first assured them.

"I’m fine, don’t worry."

Then, Selena got out of the car.

Seeing Selena step out herself, Hope Norwood immediately came over.

"Lady, you’re awake."
