Chapter 731: Want Radiance? It’s Yours
Annelise Mayfield nodded seriously, "Yes, I will."
After resolving things with Annelise Mayfield and Sloane Hawthorne, Hugh Kensington glanced at the door, sounding a bit puzzled, "Didn’t you say Vivian was coming too? How come she hasn’t shown up yet?"
Previously, when Selena Kensington and Hugh Kensington mentioned coming to Stardust, they also mentioned that Vivian Sutton would be coming.
Hugh Kensington wanted to discuss Vivian Sutton’s plans after she returned.
But they’ve been talking for so long now, and Vivian Sutton still hasn’t appeared.
Selena Kensington recalled the call she had with Vivian Sutton earlier, feeling a bit worried.
"Vivian was feeling a bit unwell just now and said she’d come later. I think I should give her a call to check in."
As Selena Kensington finished speaking, she had already picked up her phone.
But just as she was about to unlock the screen, she saw that Vivian Sutton had called her.
Selena Kensington immediately answered the call.
"Hello, Vivian."
Vivian Sutton’s voice came from the other end of the phone, "Selie, I’m down here at Stardust Tower, wait for me to come up."
Vivian Sutton’s voice had returned to normal, and although there was still a hint of weakness if you listened carefully, it was much better than when she had called Selena Kensington earlier.
Listening to Vivian Sutton’s voice, Selena Kensington felt relieved, "Alright, I’ll be waiting for you."
After hanging up the phone, Selena Kensington first asked Annelise Mayfield and Sloane Hawthorne to go down and get to know each other better, while she and Hugh Kensington waited in the office for Vivian Sutton’s arrival.
Once Annelise Mayfield and Sloane Hawthorne left, Selena Kensington followed Hugh Kensington to the back of the desk.
At this moment, Hugh Kensington’s computer screen was displaying information about Radiance.
Hugh Kensington glanced at the computer screen and spoke faintly, "The Dalton Family hasn’t yet decided who will take over Radiance. Currently, Radiance is leaderless, and it’s only holding on because the Dalton Family hasn’t abandoned it, plus Radiance’s heritage..."
"But continuing like this is not a long-term solution. The artists at Radiance are starting to become a bit panicked..."
Selena Kensington glanced at Hugh Kensington with a smile, "Radiance previously acquired Aethel, and the two have joined forces. If you want to swallow such a big piece of the pie, it’s not going to be easy."
She naturally understood the purpose behind Hugh Kensington’s words.
Hugh Kensington doesn’t really appear to be detached from the world; quite the opposite, his ambition has always been hidden.
Samuel Dalton wants to swallow up Stardust and become the leader in the entertainment circle, and how could Hugh Kensington think any differently?
Hugh Kensington’s lips curled into a slight arc, "Sis, you haven’t forgotten about ’Cultural Relics Retrospect’ co-produced by Radiance and The Imperial Museum, have you?"
Selena Kensington was somewhat perplexed, why bring this up all of a sudden?
"Of course I remember, why?"
She replied to Hugh Kensington.
Hugh Kensington chuckled, "The filming of ’Cultural Relics Retrospect’ was very successful before, and The Empire began gradually introducing it to other countries. However, because of this incident, The Empire had to reassess Radiance’s position, and if I’m not mistaken, The Empire probably won’t collaborate with Radiance anymore. Without the policy support from The Empire, Radiance will find it tough to advance another level."
"But Stardust is different. Recently, Spiritual Dress has officially stepped into the international market, and they’re also planning a winter fashion show in Aethelgard. On one hand, you have the rising Stardust, and on the other, the declining Radiance; I’m sure the shareholders of Radiance will know which to choose."
The shareholders of Radiance are not all Dalton Family members; they know where the greater benefit lies.
Under the trend of interests, they will make the choice they should make.
"Tsk... You really have them all figured out,"
Selena Kensington glanced at Hugh Kensington, a smile tugging at her mouth.
Hugh Kensington shrugged, "Actually, I’m not worried about any of this. I’m just wondering if the Dalton Family is finally ready to take over this mess."
If the Dalton Family steps in, then Radiance might still stand a chance of revival.
After all, the Dalton Family is one of the four major families of upper society in Aethelgard, with its own heritage and authority.
"You don’t need to worry about that."
Selena Kensington said with a smile.
"Sam won’t care about Radiance."
Selena Kensington spoke these words with a lot of confidence.
Hugh Kensington, a bit puzzled, was just about to ask why, when fortunately, the phone in the office rang.
Hugh Kensington had no choice but to drop it for now and answered on speaker, "Hello."
"It’s me."
Samuel Dalton’s voice suddenly came through.
A hint of surprise flashed in Hugh Kensington’s eyes, and he looked at Selena Kensington.
Because of the speakerphone, Selena Kensington also heard Samuel Dalton’s voice.
Indeed, speak of the devil...
Selena Kensington nodded slightly at Hugh Kensington, signaling him to continue the conversation.
So, Hugh Kensington spoke to Samuel Dalton on the other end, "Sam, what’s up."
Samuel Dalton’s tone was insipid, but if you listened carefully, there was a hint of impatience, "Do you want Radiance? It’s yours."
"...?"
A question mark slowly appeared in Hugh Kensington’s mind.
Selena Kensington, on the other hand, couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "Pfft..."
Samuel Dalton immediately caught on, speaking with some uncertainty, "Sis?"
Selena Kensington hadn’t expected that a mere chuckle would give her away to Samuel Dalton, but since she had been recognized, she wasn’t planning to deny it.
"Yes, it’s me."
Hearing that Selena Kensington was also there, and realizing his words had been heard by her, Samuel Dalton felt a wave of embarrassment and panic. "Ahem, Sis... I actually..."
He wanted desperately to salvage his image.
But it seemed there was no way to take back what he had said so directly.
Selena Kensington chuckled and said, "I know, you’re not interested in the entertainment industry. So you’d rather let Radiance rot there than hand it over to Hugh."
Listening to Selena Kensington’s words, Samuel Dalton breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He understood that Selena Kensington was offering him a way out.
Therefore, Samuel Dalton nodded, "Yes, that’s exactly what I was thinking!"
He even emphasized it in a serious manner.
"..."
Once again, Hugh Kensington fell into silence.
Now he finally understood why Selena Kensington had been so confident when she spoke earlier.
She had known Samuel Dalton’s temperament all along.
Hugh Kensington was about to speak when he heard a knocking at the door.
Selena Kensington turned her head to take a look, "It should be Vivian."
After saying this, she walked over to open the door for Vivian Sutton.
Hugh Kensington saw that Samuel Dalton was still on the call, so he had to focus back on their conversation, "Let’s discuss this further..."
Meanwhile, Selena Kensington opened the door and saw Vivian Sutton, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.
"Sweetheart! I’ve missed you so much!"
Vivian Sutton exclaimed as she saw Selena Kensington standing in the doorway as soon as the door opened.
She initially wanted to leap forward as she usually did, but halfway through decided to remember that Selena Kensington was pregnant, causing her to screech to a halt.
She then looked down at Selena Kensington’s belly, exclaiming, "Before I left, your tummy wasn’t this noticeable, and now it’s really showing. Seems like I will be a godmother soon!"
Vivian Sutton’s tone lifted slightly towards the end, filled with a sense of joy.
