All sorts of demands to buy things are one thing, but every time something like this happens, she goes at him, exposing all his flaws.

Silas Sinclair just couldn’t figure out how his mother, such a gentle beauty, gave birth to Iris Sinclair, who loved bouncing around and creating chaos.

She virtually feared that there wasn’t enough chaos in the world.

Iris Sinclair rolled her eyes but was still somewhat intimidated by the threatening look in her brother’s eyes, so she hid behind Selena Kensington.

Selena Kensington also didn’t expect Silas Sinclair to be having such a rough time recently.

However, in this case, there was some intentional exaggeration on Iris Sinclair’s part.

After all, Stardust is still a humane entertainment company; it’s impossible for it to crush its artists.

And Tessa Sinclair took into account that Sloane Hawthorne was still growing and had her studies, so she didn’t just arrange activities for her constantly.

So, as long as the schedule is adjusted a little, there is still time for Sloane Hawthorne and Silas Sinclair to spend alone together.

Sterling Norwood seemed to gloat a bit as he glanced over.

Then he lightly patted Silas Sinclair’s shoulder.

"..."

Silas Sinclair felt thoroughly pierced by thousands of arrows.

"Scram!"

Looking at the hand on his shoulder, Silas Sinclair gritted his teeth and said.

Sterling Norwood withdrew his hand, shrugging slightly.

Seeing Sterling Norwood almost pushing Silas Sinclair to his limit, Selena Kensington hurriedly pulled him aside.

To prevent these two brothers from actually fighting.

"Alright, you go play with Tessa Sinclair, I’ll hang out with Iris."

Upon hearing Selena say this, Sterling Norwood immediately lost interest in bothering Silas Sinclair and quickly turned to her.

"What’s fun with him? I’ll stay with you."

"Haha."

Silas Sinclair let out a cold laugh from the side.

Selena Kensington’s mouth twitched slightly, a bit helpless, "I’m going to chat about girly things with Iris, why would you accompany me?"

Sterling Norwood was a bit puzzled but still said confidently, "Why can’t I?"

"..."

Selena Kensington couldn’t help but grab her face.

Slightly gritting her teeth, "Scram!"

"..."

Then Selena Kensington directly left Sterling Norwood behind, taking Iris Sinclair by the arm and leaving.

Watching Sterling Norwood being left alone, Silas Sinclair lightly patted Sterling’s shoulder.

"Cousin, just accept it."

The tone could certainly be described as rather annoying.

"Haha."

Sterling Norwood responded with a cold laugh.

And after leaving the two brothers, Iris Sinclair pulled Selena Kensington into the pavilion and sat down.

Iris Sinclair pouted slightly, "They really act childish when they’re together."

Apparently, Iris Sinclair was also powerless to critique the brotherly quarrel.

Selena Kensington chuckled.

Fortunately, today’s attendees were all Sinclair Family’s relatives, so not many people paid attention to their side.

Otherwise, the quarreling manner of Sterling Norwood and Silas Sinclair could have spread wide, leaving many people stunned.

After all, consider their status?

Who would have thought that the two prodigies of The Empire would behave like this...

Selena Kensington glanced around.

All she saw were older noblewomen, while some younger ones congregated to eat, drink, and chat.

She did not see the cold and somewhat dangerous cousin Iris mentioned.

Selena appeared to ask casually, "Where’s your cousin?"

On the table in the pavilion were seeds and snacks, and once Iris sat down, she grabbed some seeds and cracked them in her palm.

Upon hearing Selena’s question, she slowly replied, "Oh, she’s probably in the main hall greeting the elders with her parents."

It’s been a long time since Zoe Sinclair’s family returned, and now they might not leave again, possibly working at The Imperial Academy of Sciences, so the elders are chatting with them in the main hall.

This way, they can better understand what’s been happening with Zoe Sinclair’s family lately.

Selena Kensington nodded nonchalantly.

Iris Sinclair finished cracking the seeds and grabbed a wet wipe from the table to clean her hands.

Then she moved closer.

"Ooh, let me touch the baby!"

Iris already had the idea earlier.

But due to Sterling Norwood’s presence, she had to suppress her thoughts.

Now that Sterling was gone, Iris wasn’t afraid.

"Alright, go ahead."

Selena Kensington generously put her belly in front of Iris.

Iris Sinclair reached out carefully.

After a while, she seemed to feel something bumping against her.

Iris Sinclair suddenly froze.

She instinctively looked up at Selena Kensington.

"Is this... is this..."

Iris Sinclair opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

Selena Kensington smiled at her, "They’re greeting you."

Iris instantly felt amazed, "So this is what newborns are like..."

She withdrew her hand.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Selena’s belly.

Although Iris Sinclair was born into a large family.

In this generation, she was considered one of the later-born.

And those born after her were basically younger relatives.

Iris wasn’t interested in the children of distant relatives, and with her boisterous nature, those relatives feared she’d clash and didn’t like her getting close.

They never explicitly said it, but Iris could feel it.

So she disliked interacting with those relatives.

She wasn’t even close to the younger ones in the family.

So, in fact, it was the first time Iris had touched a pregnant woman’s belly.

"Speaking of which, when the child is born, do I become an aunt?"

Iris spoke with surprise.

Selena Kensington nodded with a smile, "Yep, an aunt."

Iris Sinclair became even more excited, her face slightly flushed, "Oh my god, I suddenly feel like I’m having a heart attack..."

"Heart attack?"

Selena was a bit puzzled.

Iris waved her hand, "I mean heart fluttering, it’s a meme."

"..."

Selena Kensington felt she was becoming slightly disconnected from the internet.

No wonder, ever since her belly began to show, Sterling Norwood imposed strict controls over her use of electronic devices.

Because of this, she couldn’t experience surfing online for hours anymore.

As Selena and Iris were chatting, a commotion suddenly arose in the courtyard ahead.

Selena looked toward the crowd.

The crowd was focused on the front hall.

Selena’s eyes narrowed. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

So, has Zoe Sinclair come out?

After a while, people started emerging from the main hall.

Hosting the guests today were Silas Sinclair and Iris Sinclair’s parents.

Mrs. Sinclair and Patriarch Sinclair stood in the middle, walking out amidst the entourage of Sinclair Family members.

Among those people, the most striking was the person standing behind Mrs. Sinclair.

Her fiery red wavy hair fluttered with the wind.

Despite the passionate fiery hair, her face held an icy indifferent expression.

She seemed like a machine without emotions.

Faced with the attention from the crowd, her face showed no trace of arrogance.

It appeared she was already used to such scenes.

Upon seeing the woman, Selena Kensington was certain.

That person was... Zoe Sinclair.
