Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 690: You’re So Bad That I Like You

Catherine Blanchett was probably dumbstruck by this slap from Patriarch Blanchett.

She no longer resisted.

After the waiter took Catherine away, Patriarch Blanchett finally turned his gaze towards Roxanne Sutton.

"Miss Sutton, if you have any complaints about the Blanchett Family, you can speak to me directly. Why resort to such actions and provoke everyone’s ire..."

Patriarch Blanchett looked at Roxanne Sutton with a sinister gaze.

Under his watchful eyes, Roxanne Sutton’s eyes flickered slightly. "Is Patriarch Blanchett threatening me?"

She questioned back.

Patriarch Blanchett snorted coldly, "Miss Sutton, you’re overreacting. I, Kane Blanchett, wouldn’t stoop to bullying a powerless young girl."

He emphasized ’powerless,’ as if highlighting Roxanne Sutton’s status.

Roxanne Sutton understood the meaning behind his words.

He was merely saying she was powerless and should weigh her words and actions carefully.

If Roxanne Sutton hadn’t agreed to collaborate with Selena Kensington before, she’d indeed be intimidated by Patriarch Blanchett’s words.

But the situation is different now.

Her cooperation with Selena Kensington is not only because she has no choice, but also because she truly wishes to see Catherine Blanchett fall to rock bottom and never rise again.

What she can’t have, Catherine shouldn’t either!

Roxanne Sutton suddenly laughed.

"What does Patriarch Blanchett mean? I didn’t intend to do anything. I just mentioned giving a little gift to the two newcomers."

After speaking, her gaze flitted over Sidney Dalton, and then she continued to smile and say: "Whether the two like the gift or not is none of my concern."

Sidney Dalton’s eyes flickered with an indiscernible light, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

He directed the question at Roxanne Sutton.

The smile at Roxanne Sutton’s lips slowly faded after Sidney Dalton spoke.

"I don’t understand what you’re saying."

When speaking to Sidney Dalton, Roxanne Sutton didn’t even bother to maintain the slightest smile.

Her brow returned to tranquility.

But looking closely, one could see the hidden mockery in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Annelise Mayfield looked at Catherine Blanchett, who had already been taken away, and frowned slightly.

She closed her eyes for a moment.

Upon reopening them, her gaze became even more enchanting, carrying a captivating allure with every slight movement.

And as Annelise Mayfield’s eyes opened, Catherine Blanchett, whose head was lowered on the opposite couch, seemed suddenly responsive and lifted her head.

Immediately, her eyes locked onto Annelise Mayfield’s gaze.

Then, Annelise Mayfield’s lips parted slightly, "Tear apart."

"..."

Selena Kensington listened to Annelise Mayfield’s words but didn’t turn back to meet her gaze, choosing instead to cast a thoughtful glance towards Catherine Blanchett.

As Annelise Mayfield’s voice faded, Catherine suddenly stood up from where she was sitting on the sofa.

The two waiters attending to her jumped in surprise, unable to stop Catherine’s subsequent actions.

After suddenly standing up from the sofa, Catherine Blanchett began to pull at her own hair.

She wore a wig fixed firmly to her head, so tearing it apart was challenging.

"What... What is she doing?!"

A voice suddenly rang out, drawing everyone in the banquet hall’s attention.

Then the guests witnessed the dignified and radiant heiress suddenly clawing at her hair like a madwoman.

Even the nearby waiters who tried to intervene were pushed away in her frenzy.

The waiters were hesitant to touch her, and since she wasn’t trying to flee, Catherine Blanchett could continue pulling her hair.

Although the wig was firmly fixed, it couldn’t withstand Catherine’s relentless tugging.

So, mere seconds after onlookers turned to watch, Catherine pulled off her wig.

"Ah!..."

"Oh my god! This...!"

The guests stared incredulously at Catherine Blanchett, with wide eyes fixed upon her as though they had seen a ghost.

Why were the people in the hall so shocked?

Because beneath the torn-off wig, Catherine Blanchett’s real appearance rendered them speechless.

Her hair was dry and brittle, like straw.

Unlike before when it cascaded over her shoulders, it now frizzed outward like withered grass.

What shocked everyone most was her hair, which had turned ashen like an old person’s.

If not for Catherine’s still youthful and beautiful visage, the guests might have thought she’d been replaced.

She now resembled a woman whose time was waning.

Selena Kensington’s eyes filled with some confusion upon seeing Catherine as she was.

Even if Catherine’s head was shaved before, regrowth shouldn’t look this way...

Selena Kensington instinctively tugged on Sterling Norwood’s sleeve.

It was a habit she’d developed.

Whenever she had doubts or faced difficulties, if Sterling Norwood was by her side, she’d instinctively tug on his sleeve.

Sterling Norwood, previously lounging indifferently on the sofa, was uninterested in the events unfolding before him.

But as soon as Selena Kensington tugged his sleeve, he straightened up and leaned over beside her, "What’s wrong?"

His deep voice resonated, bringing Selena an unusual sense of comfort.

She turned sideways and whispered to Sterling Norwood.

"What’s happened to Catherine’s hair... Why did it turn like this?"

Selena asked softly.

Embracing Selena closer, Sterling casually glanced at Catherine Blanchett from a short distance away.

Then he slowly spoke to explain to his wife.

"Earlier, I had Spencer poison her vocal cords. Although her voice may recover through treatment, the poison has already infiltrated her scalp."

Thus, the poison permeating her head accounts for the ash-colored, brittle hair she’s grown.

Selena Kensington was stunned, then couldn’t help but laugh.

She cast a sidelong glance at Sterling Norwood, "You’re wicked... It’s what I like about you."

Sterling Norwood, listening to her words, felt a sense of pleasure.

His lips curved slightly as he left a gentle kiss on Selena’s forehead.

Meanwhile, seeing Catherine’s craze, everyone from the Blanchett Family and The Dalton Family froze.

Especially Patriarch Blanchett, who immediately ordered Catherine to be taken away.

"I won’t leave!! This bitch!!"

"Daring to ruin my plans! Die, bitch!"

"You’re nothing but a low-born illegitimate child! How dare you defy me!"

"I promise you, you won’t leave here alive today!"

Catherine Blanchett, as if completely mad, wore a menacing look and vented her rage wildly.
