Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 691: Roxanne Sutton Is My Guest

The people at the banquet venue were all taken aback by Catherine Blanchett’s appearance.

Is this still the former elegant, noble, graceful first socialite of Aethelgard?

The former first socialite of Aethelgard going mad is actually this terrifying...

The people closer to Catherine Blanchett instinctively retreated a few steps, afraid of being framed by her.

Just after Catherine Blanchett spoke those words, Patriarch Blanchett fiercely glared at the two bodyguards closest to her at the banquet.

"Still not taking her away?!"

The two bodyguards, frightened by Patriarch Blanchett’s horrifying gaze, immediately stepped forward.

While dragging, pulling Catherine Blanchett away.

As Catherine Blanchett was taken away, she struggled hard, muttering continuously.

With her dry, gray hair and fierce face, she appeared both ridiculous and horrifying.

With Catherine Blanchett’s departure, the guests present were momentarily unsure of what to do.

Patriarch Blanchett glanced at the people below, his eyes containing a warning.

"Today’s events are all a misunderstanding, I hope everyone won’t take it to heart..."

With these words from Patriarch Blanchett, the people below understood the meaning behind them.

He’s asking them to keep quiet.

They naturally understood that with such events happening now, the marriage alliance between the Blanchett Family and the Dalton Family might be in jeopardy, but the Blanchett Family’s original status is still there.

Even with this, it’s enough to prevent them from daring to resist.

Thus those people hurriedly cooperated with Patriarch Blanchett.

"Of course, we didn’t see anything..."

"Patriarch Blanchett, don’t worry, it was just a joke."

"Since there’s nothing, we’re preparing to leave..."

Those people wore false smiles, each accommodating Patriarch Blanchett.

But internally, who knows what they thought of the Blanchett Family’s affairs.

After all, the Blanchett Family truly embarrassed themselves today.

And Catherine Blanchett, indeed, is ruined.

With her madness today, who would dare want her in the future?!

Roxanne Sutton looked at the hypocritical smiles of the people beside her and suddenly snorted coldly.

Her cold snort stood out amid those hypocritical smiles, causing people to instinctively stop and look at Roxanne Sutton.

Patriarch Blanchett and Sidney Dalton also looked over.

Under the dignified and warning gazes of the two, Roxanne Sutton instinctively felt some fear physically, but more of a sense of satisfaction internally.

Look, she has now utterly ruined Catherine Blanchett.

"Why look at me like that, Patriarch Blanchett and Mr. Dalton, if you don’t like my gift, then I’ll leave."

Roxanne Sutton’s lips slightly curved, her tone carrying a hint of spring wind smugness.

Patriarch Blanchett’s face turned terrifyingly dark, he already signaled the banquet’s bodyguards to encircle her.

"Miss Sutton probably thought too simply."

Patriarch Blanchett spoke softly.

Roxanne Sutton glanced at the bodyguards slowly approaching and scoffed.

"Is Patriarch Blanchett embarrassed and angry, intending to use force on me? Seems like the Blanchett Family’s reputation indeed isn’t needed, there are so many people watching here..."

Patriarch Blanchett said in a deep voice, "This is an internal matter of the Blanchett Family, I believe none of the guests here will have objections."

With Patriarch Blanchett speaking this way, plus the guests present were not acquainted with Roxanne Sutton, it was impossible to help her.

Thus, they all quickly distanced themselves from Roxanne Sutton, afraid she would latch onto them.

Patriarch Blanchett was very satisfied with the actions of those people, and seeing the unmoving Norwood Family reinforced his belief that Roxanne Sutton acquired that photo through special channels.

"Miss Sutton, I advise you to cooperate with us, otherwise we can’t manage your delicate skin."

Patriarch Blanchett threatened with a stern face.

At this moment, the banquet’s arranged bodyguards had surrounded Roxanne Sutton.

Just waiting for Patriarch Blanchett’s order, they’d take action.

Roxanne Sutton calmed her anxious emotions, slowly revealing a smile.

"Didn’t expect the famously prestigious Blanchett Family would resort to such bandit-like behavior."

Patriarch Blanchett didn’t respond to her words.

"Seems you don’t want to cooperate."

After saying this, he slightly raised his hand, instructing the surrounding bodyguards "Take her away."

With Patriarch Blanchett’s words, the bodyguards were ready to act.

Roxanne Sutton was already nervous, her palms nearly sweating.

She’s gambling, betting Selena Kensington won’t abandon her at this moment.

Sure enough, just as the bodyguards reached out, a calm female voice sounded.

"Wait."

Her voice was soft, carrying a chill and authority.

Though not loud, it made it impossible for those present to ignore.

They instinctively turned to look.

Soon they saw Selena Kensington, with a slightly bulging belly, walking over, closely followed by Annelise Mayfield.

Seeing Selena Kensington suddenly speak up, the people present were quite curious.

Wasn’t this lady just sitting quietly on the sofa watching?

Why suddenly stand up at this moment?

But with Selena Kensington’s status now, her thoughts aren’t for them to guess.

They could only open a path for Selena Kensington to walk directly to Roxanne Sutton’s side.

Upon hearing Selena Kensington’s voice, Patriarch Blanchett sighed inwardly something was wrong.

Wasn’t she watching just now?! Why speak at such a crucial moment?

Were they waiting for this all along?!

Patriarch Blanchett thought more about it; could Roxanne Sutton’s sudden appearance be due to the Norwood Family’s arrangement?

But if the Norwood Family wanted to deal with the Blanchett Family, why be so circuitous?

Patriarch Blanchett temporarily felt a headache.

But he could only hide his thoughts internally, his face showing a renewed trace of smile.

"Mrs. Norwood, is there a problem?"

As Patriarch Blanchett spoke, Selena Kensington and Annelise Mayfield had already reached Roxanne Sutton’s side.

Once Annelise Mayfield reached Roxanne Sutton’s side, she quickly grabbed her arm and tucked her behind herself.

"..."

Roxanne Sutton speechlessly glanced at her but ultimately chose to push Annelise Mayfield’s hand away, stepping a bit farther from her.

Annelise Mayfield looked with a slightly hurt widened gaze.

But Roxanne Sutton pursed her lips, not wanting to explain further.

Selena Kensington saw this scene, her brows slightly raised.

Somewhat surprised.

Unexpected that even at this stage, Roxanne Sutton harbors a bit of goodwill towards Annelise Mayfield.

She deliberately avoided Annelise Mayfield just now, simply to prevent people from seeing their friendship.

She can no longer stand in Aethelgard, but Annelise Mayfield is different; her career has just begun.

If spotted by the Blanchett Family, they might trip up Annelise in the future.

So Roxanne Sutton credits Selena Kensington a little bit.

Selena Kensington retracted the emotion from her gaze, turning to look at Patriarch Blanchett.

She spoke with a smile, "Sorry Patriarch Blanchett, but Roxanne Sutton is my guest."

As Selena Kensington said this, her tone was lazy and calm.

Yet it clearly conveyed the momentum and subtle warning in her voice.
