Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 688: Slap in the Face, Catherine Blanchett’s Scandal

The old Mr. Dalton on the side glared at him, "Enjoying the spectacle, aren’t you!"

Though it was a reprimand, there was no trace of censure in the old Mr. Dalton’s tone.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Mr. Dalton was quite fond of his youngest son.

Patriarch Blanchett listened to Samuel Dalton’s words and looked at Mr. Dalton’s attitude, lost in thought.

Samuel Dalton shrugged nonchalantly, "Just watching."

Meanwhile, Sidney Dalton and Catherine Blanchett in the center of the dance floor frowned at Roxanne Sutton’s words.

"We don’t need your gift, please leave."

Sidney Dalton spoke coldly.

Roxanne Sutton spun around with a smile and then pushed away slightly.

"So heartless..."

She murmured softly.

Then she abruptly looked at the projector by the dance floor.

"Why not take a look together?"

Roxanne Sutton spoke slowly.

The people in the banquet hall instinctively followed her gaze.

At this moment, the projector by the dance floor was rolling through all the dirty and disgusting things Catherine Blanchett had done in the past.

From the moment the first photo appeared on the screen, Catherine instinctively wanted to rush over.

But for some reason, her feet felt as heavy as iron, unable to move.

Her mind dazedly watched the scene unfold.

And the screen’s rolling speed was fast, quickly revealing all the things Catherine had done before.

Like bribing the household maid to secretly tamper with Rosalind Blanchett’s meals.

This led to Rosalind’s childhood malnourishment, causing Patriarch Blanchett to neglect her.

Or how she once brought a mad dog to scare Rosalind over a spot at a banquet, causing Rosalind a fever for three days.

And how, after becoming Aethelgard’s number one socialite, she played the noble gentlemen of high society and targeted elite women who looked down on her.

Listed out like this, it was shocking.

Though these were secrets of wealthy families, seeing them displayed on a large screen still shocked many.

Especially since most of these actions took place when Catherine was underage.

Particularly spreading rumors about a debutante having a beautiful nose by cosmetic surgery, then having someone break her nose.

At that time, Catherine was just fifteen.

Such malevolent thoughts in a fifteen-year-old girl...

This forced the attendees to reevaluate Catherine.

To think that Aethelgard’s top socialite was rotten to the core.

The images rolled quickly and soon reached the last.

The final image.

Of Catherine with a shaven head, eyes filled with hatred and malice looking ahead.

This photo was taken by Silvester Norwood.

Now it appeared on the screen.

This photo instantly caused an uproar.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the ugly, malevolent image on the screen.

"Is that Catherine Blanchett?"

"Why was her head shaved..."

"Looks like it’s at the Blanchett Family’s place?"

"Oh my... is she wearing a wig now?"

The crowd whispered.

Some were shocked by the photo yet couldn’t help but cover their mouths and snicker.

At the same time, Annelise Mayfield’s amused expression turned serious.

She stared intently at Catherine, a strange light flickering in her eyes.

"Madness."

"Release."

"Losing reason."

She murmured softly.

Selena Kensington was momentarily shocked, looking at Annelise, noticing her mesmerizing eyes full of charm as she used her gaze.

Selena found herself momentarily entranced.

Not until Sterling Norwood noticed something was amiss and gently hugged her.

"Don’t look."

Sterling’s deep voice echoed in Selena’s ear.

Upon hearing this, Selena came back to her senses.

She sighed softly, "The Mayfield family’s eyes are really..."

After Annelise’s words, originally stunned in disbelief, Catherine snapped back to reality.

She lunged forward madly, "No, no..."

"These are all fake!! She’s trying to frame me!!!"

Like a madwoman, Catherine rushed forward and pulled the plug from the projector.

In an instant, the screen went blank.

But it was too late; the guests had already seen the projector’s contents.

The room fell silent.

Mr. Dalton and Patriarch Blanchett’s faces turned sour.

Especially Mr. Dalton, his expression grew somber.

The marriage alliance between the Dalton and Blanchett families could certainly elevate both families.

But the Dalton Family didn’t need such a malevolent future family matriarch.

Previously, Mr. Dalton could overlook what Catherine had done, but he hadn’t expected her to already harbor such wicked thoughts at a young age.

If she could harm her own sister, what couldn’t she do to others?!

A woman’s jealousy is terrifying.

Mr. Dalton wouldn’t want the Dalton family destroyed by Catherine.

He began reconsidering the alliance.

Patriarch Blanchett hadn’t imagined Catherine did so much secretly, especially against Rosalind.

After all, Patriarch thought he knew his daughter, whom he’d personally raised, well.

But he was wrong.

Rosalind is now the Blanchett Family’s focus, and this incident, if unresolved, would leave her unsatisfied.

But now, the most important task was to resolve the current situation.

Samuel Dalton continued to fan the flames, "Tch... the Blanchett family’s eldest sure is... surprising."

Neither Mr. Dalton nor Patriarch Blanchett paid him any mind.

But his words darkened their expressions further.

With the guests all aristocrats, mishandling it could turn the incident into a scandal among the elite.

This would be detrimental to both the Blanchett and Dalton families.

Catherine, after unplugging the projector, noticed the mocking looks from those around her, reminding her of past experiences.

Her strained composure was on the verge of breaking...

Roxanne Sutton watched the clown-like Catherine, her eyes sparkling with a victorious smile.

"Miss Blanchett, Mr. Dalton, satisfied with my gift?"

Hearing Roxanne’s words and seeing her mockingly gloating, Catherine’s composure finally snapped.
