Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 733: Suddenly Feeling a Bit Sorry for Clement Luther

Vivian Sutton couldn’t say anything else and could only continue to sigh, "You two siblings are really something."

Selena and Hugh Kensington exchanged a glance and shrugged simultaneously.

Selena shifted the topic back, "So why did you want Vivian to take this role?"

"This drama’s biggest feature is that many scenes require location shooting, and once Vivian enters the international entertainment industry, many films will need to be shot in various places, even abroad or across states. I’m trying to get her to adapt in advance!"

"Besides, I’ve checked, and this film intends to compete for international awards, serving as a bridge for Vivian to enter the international entertainment scene."

Hugh continued to explain.

Listening to Hugh, Selena frowned.

"Wait a minute."

She suddenly interrupted Hugh, then looked at him with a curious gaze, "You want Vivian to break into the international entertainment scene, and it’s probably not just because you want Stardust to have someone solidify their position there."

"...Ahem."

Hugh was startled by Selena’s words, and then awkwardly cleared his throat.

Facing Selena’s probing eyes, he avoided eye contact with her.

Selena squinted her eyes slightly, immediately sensing that Hugh was hiding something from her.

Beside them, Vivian vaguely sensed something was off between the siblings and silently picked up her warm milk, sipping it slowly.

However, Hugh couldn’t withstand Selena’s intense gaze for long.

He looked awkwardly at Vivian and then back at Selena, finally speaking slowly, "Okay, part of the reason is also that Clement and Vivian’s father approached me."

When Hugh said this, Vivian, who was drinking milk, suddenly choked, "Cough cough cough..."

Luckily, she was only sipping it slowly and got choked only because Hugh’s words surprised her.

After Selena gently patted her back for a while, Vivian’s complexion eased significantly.

Yet, she still raised her head in disbelief, "Who did you say contacted you?"

Selena was also somewhat surprised. If it was Clement, she could understand, but why would Anson Sutton seek out Hugh?

Hugh saw their reactions fully, then said, "Both Clement and Anson Sutton came looking for me."

"You know, the Luther Family and the Sutton Family are prominent families in the high society of Aethelgard, and they have many international collaborations. So, previously, they approached me, offering conditions for me to pave the way for Vivian."

"Especially the Sutton Family, which started in the jewelry industry and has many international jewelry brands collaborating with them. When Anson Sutton came to me, he directly said that future collaborations with those brands internationally would have Vivian as the designated spokesperson."

After Hugh said this, Vivian fell silent.

Selena didn’t expect Anson Sutton to take such actions either.

However, recalling Anson Sutton’s appearance at the engagement party of Vivian and Clement, Selena suddenly didn’t find it surprising that he would make such a move.

Now that Roxanne Sutton is deceased, the Sutton Family has no heir.

Judging from Anson Sutton’s attitude, he doesn’t plan to remarry.

So, in the end, Vivian has to inherit the Sutton Family.

Anson Sutton is paving the way for Vivian. If one day she tires of the entertainment industry, she could return comfortably and become the head of the Sutton Family.

Hugh looked at the silent Vivian, sighed, and said, "Vivian, don’t blame them for keeping it from you. Clement wants you to feel less pressure, and your father...he’s afraid you’d resist, so I never told you about this."

As for why Anson Sutton fears Vivian’s resistance, the reason is simple.

He’s worried that Vivian still holds a grudge against him.

That’s why he initially asked Hugh not to tell Vivian.

"I...I understand now."

Vivian took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

Sitting beside her, Selena could see a faint redness in Vivian’s eyes.

Selena sighed softly, putting her arm around Vivian’s shoulder, "Didn’t we agree that it’s all in the past?"

She spoke gently.

Vivian sniffed slightly, "Yes, but I didn’t expect..."

Although Vivian didn’t continue, Selena understood.

Vivian didn’t expect that Anson Sutton would do so much behind her back.

After deciding to let go of past issues, she had maintained a non-interfering relationship with Anson Sutton, where neither approached the other.

Gently, Selena said, with a trace of softness, "Perhaps you both should try to be honest once... After all, he will grow old, and you will inherit the Sutton Family."

Hugh, noticing Vivian’s state, stood awkwardly, "Uh, did I just hit Vivian’s tear spot..."

Hearing this, Selena glared at him, "If I hadn’t sensed something today, would you never have told?"

"..."

Hugh paused for a second, then weakly defended himself, "Well, I did promise them..."

After he said this, he changed the topic, "By the way, Vivian, you and Clement have been engaged for quite some time, when are you planning to get married?"

Speaking of marriage, Vivian instantly snapped out of her previous emotional feelings.

She raised her head, gritting her teeth slightly, "Don’t even think about it! He specifically sought you out, must be hoping I achieve my dreams sooner and marry him! No way!"

"...."

The siblings beside her suddenly felt a bit sympathetic towards Clement.

Nevertheless, seeing Hugh successfully divert Vivian’s attention, Selena didn’t bother to point out that Hugh had withheld such a significant matter from her.

She quickly said, "Not getting married, are you really waiting to be my bridesmaid?"

Selena asked with a smile.

Vivian seriously nodded, "Yes, I’ll be your bridesmaid! You can’t be my bridesmaid, so I can only wait for you!"

She said, a bit nervously tugging at Selena’s sleeve, "This was a promise, you can’t break it!"

Selena was momentarily speechless.

Like most best friends, Selena and Vivian made many promises when they became close.

For example, at least one of them would be the other’s bridesmaid, and becoming godmothers to each other’s children.

Unexpectedly, Vivian remembered this till now and took such promises seriously.

Selena didn’t know what to say for a moment.

However, recalling Vivian’s nature, she chuckled softly.
