Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 786: Chapter 786: I Don’t Bark Back at Dogs

And it also lowered the social status of these debutantes!

Those debutantes didn’t see Vivian Sutton refute before, so they assumed Vivian Sutton was soft-natured.

But unexpectedly, when she started speaking, her words were so venomous!

When had these debutantes ever been belittled like this?

Especially Miss Yu, the one leading them, her expression changed slightly, but considering Selena Kensington was present, she didn’t dare to speak up.

However, her silence didn’t guarantee the others would do the same.

After all, they didn’t know Selena Kensington, and now that she’s a pregnant woman, she poses less of a threat in their eyes.

Moreover, they were accustomed to bossing around with Miss Yu, and when mocking Vivian Sutton earlier, they didn’t hold back at all, so hearing Vivian Sutton’s sarcasm made a few of the hot-tempered ones unable to endure any longer.

"Miss Sutton, before you make us look like comedians, how about considering your own entertainer status!"

"And as for this lady, since you’re pregnant, try not to meddle too much."

When Miss Yu heard this debutante’s words, she was internally shocked.

Without thinking, she scolded, "Shut up!!!"

How could she have such an oblivious fool beside her!

Miss Yu felt extremely regretful; they could have left peacefully, but now it’s become troublesome because of this fool’s loose lips!

Miss Yu’s reprimand scared the debutante who spoke not a little.

However, Miss Yu’s warning came too late.

Because Hope Norwood, who had been standing behind Selena Kensington, somehow appeared before the debutante who spoke, and under the debutante’s astonished gaze, crisply and neatly raised her hand and slapped her.

’Smack!’ freewebnovёl.ƈom

The sound of the slap rang out clearly.

Although Hope Norwood’s slap didn’t seem forceful, even the debutante’s face didn’t show much of a mark.

But Hope Norwood used her skill, appearing painless on the surface, yet inside, the debutante had already turned her head in pain from this slap.

"You!..."

The debutante, slapped into stupefaction by Hope Norwood, quickly felt the stinging sensation wake her up.

She looked at Hope Norwood stunned, with a hint of fear still in her eyes.

After the slap, Hope Norwood withdrew her hand, her gaze cold and ruthless.

"Maliciously slander my Norwood Family Lady, this is just a warning."

Her cold words spilled out with no trace of emotion.

Normally, the Norwood family’s Hidden Guards act upon the orders of the direct line.

But there exists one rule that overrides all others.

That is unconditional submission and support for the Norwood direct line.

Therefore, when Hope Norwood heard the debutante’s words, she acted without waiting for Selena Kensington’s command.

"What..."

The debutante was bewildered upon hearing Hope Norwood’s words.

Not only her, but even the debutantes nearby were taken aback.

Norwood Family Lady?!

Is it the Norwood Family Lady they thought of?!

Meanwhile, Miss Yu, who knew the truth of the matter, had already sunk into silence.

At this moment, the manager of the E&A counter store came over.

The guide who had just led Selena Kensington over noticed the atmosphere wasn’t right, so she fetched the manager.

The manager had been in the counter store for several years, possessing far more social experience than these guides.

Thus, when she saw Selena Kensington in the counter store, she was deeply shocked internally.

That’s the Norwood Family Lady...

The counter store manager knew, the higher the status of a family lady, the less often she appears in such counter stores.

Because they simply don’t need to worry about such external possessions.

All jewelry and adornments will be properly arranged by dedicated personnel. freёwebnoѵel.com

Therefore, Selena Kensington’s appearance here implied either she’s browsing leisurely, or accompanying someone...

The counter store manager couldn’t help but focus her gaze on Vivian Sutton standing beside Selena Kensington.

But regardless of why Selena Kensington appeared at the counter store, the manager knew she mustn’t let her feel dissatisfied with them.

So, the counter store manager immediately approached warmly.

"Mrs. Norwood, your visit fills me with honor, I apologize for not attending to you sooner."

Upon hearing the manager’s words, the debutantes’ hearts sank.

It’s over!

This young pregnant woman before them is actually the Norwood Family Lady!

What’s the status of the Norwood Family Lady?

For these debutante daughters, they don’t even have the privilege to meet branches of the Norwood Family, let alone the Norwood Family Lady...

Yet just now, they slandered her face-to-face...

Selena Kensington didn’t bother addressing the debutantes’ panicked and frightened gazes; she slightly nodded to the counter store manager.

"Just accompanying a friend for a look."

Upon hearing Selena Kensington say this, the counter store manager immediately understood.

She smiled and looked at Vivian Sutton, "Miss Sutton, so the person you mentioned waiting for was Mrs. Norwood... Now that you’re both here, why not follow me to see the newly arrived goods?"

"It’s a good chance for Miss Sutton to select a few pieces as jewelry for the endorsement shoot."

The counter store manager spoke kindly to both, her words full of utmost respect.

Typically, personnel working in counter stores have discerning eyes for people.

They have an acute judgment to know which guests require their reverence.

While for those masquerading with borrowed power, whose abilities don’t support their perceived arrogance, they don’t require such respect.

For instance, upon knowing Selena Kensington’s true identity, the few debutantes, resembling wilting eggplants.

In fact, they were not much favored by the staff at E&A’s counter store.

Every piece of jewelry in E&A, with the lowest price outside, is at least tens of thousands.

For these small family debutantes, that could equal several months of pocket money.

Even if they wish to spend, they need to consider repeatedly.

Those beside Miss Yu were merely riding on her coattails, daring to boldly enter E&A because of her.

Thus, even the store employees couldn’t be bothered to engage with them.

Selena Kensington didn’t respond to the manager of the counter store but turned to Vivian Sutton.

"What do you want to do?"

She asked calmly.

Yet, it made those around feel a sense of oppression.

Especially the guide watching couldn’t help but glance at Vivian Sutton, eyes filled with envy.

Is this what it feels like to be shielded by a leader?

Vivian Sutton felt all their gazes on her and couldn’t help but "tsk."

"Selie, you forgot."

"When dogs bark in front of me, I’m not used to barking back."

Vivian Sutton finished, seemingly shrugging helplessly.

"Pfft..."

Selena Kensington chuckled aloud.

Even the counter store manager and guide couldn’t help but find it amusing. But luckily because of their service etiquette, they didn’t burst out laughing as openly as Selena Kensington did.
