"Sorry, Lady, I must have disturbed your mood."
Selena smiled and shook her head, "I don’t mind, but it seems you have so trouble."
He teased Catherine, and how could Catherine be willing to let it go?
Keith seed indifferent, "Lady, you need not worry, maintaining your position and reputation is the duty of the Norwood family."
"Besides, I suppose this trouble doesn’t even require my intervention."
As Keith finished speaking, the crowd around them suddenly parted, creating a path.
Kane entered with Rosalind Blanchett.
Seeing the pair appear, Selena understood the aning behind Keith’s words.
Indeed... there was no need for Keith to act; the Blanchett Family would sort it out themselves.
Today, Rosalind wore a princess dress, the light pink color and her exquisite makeup considerably enhancing her overall appearance.
She ran over in surprise, standing beside Catherine, asking with concern, "Sister, what’s wrong, what happened?"
Then, everyone saw the stark contrast between Catherine, whose features were twisted with disorderly hair and lost composure, and the far more outstanding Rosalind.
"How did we never notice before that Rosalind is just as good as her sister..."
"Yeah... at least she doesn’t lose her composure on such occasions..."
"All the resources the Blanchett Family poured into Catherine before were such a waste..."
The socialites around them noticed the stark contrast between the two sisters standing together.
Of course, Catherine knew the little sches in Rosalind’s mind, listening to the surrounding socialites’ mockery.
She pushed Rosalind away in disgust.
"Who needs your fake concern!"
"Ah!"
Rosalind seed to lose her balance, tumbling to the side.
Kane rushed forward to catch her, "Rosalind, are you alright?"
Rosalind shook her head, "Father, I’m fine. Sister is just montarily over-emotional, not on purpose..."
Catherine looked at Rosalind’s pretentious deanor and sneered dismissively.
Rosalind was just using what she had left behind unused!
Kane frowned, naturally aware of the little sches his youngest daughter played.
But now, the Blanchett Family’s focus was on cultivating Rosalind, and Catherine had just offended Selena.
And she was openly rejected by Keith.
Given this comparison, Catherine was no longer so important.
Thinking this way, Kane reprimanded Catherine, "Catherine, how did Father teach you!"
"Today is your sister’s coming-of-age banquet, and you want to cause such unpleasantness!"
Catherine seed to hear a joke, sneering coldly, "What, now that I’m useless, you want to discard ?!"
Her eyes were filled with desolation and resentnt.
Kane’s eyes flashed with a trace of embarrassnt; he waved for a servant, "Take the eldest lady away."
The servants imdiately ca up, directly lifting Catherine’s arms and forcibly taking her away.
Catherine struggled, casting a resentful and venomous gaze at Selena, "Don’t you be smug!!!"
"?"
Selena seed speechless.
After Catherine was taken away, Kane gave an apologetic smile to those watching nearby, "Apologies for letting esteed guests witness such a scene."
The people around were savvy, playing the fool.
"No worries, after all, every family has its troubles."
"Indeed, indeed, Patriarch Blanchett, don’t be too upset..."
Later, Kane instructed Rosalind to entertain the guests.
When the people left, Kane approached Selena.
"Apologies, Mrs. Norwood, please don’t take my youngest daughter’s words to heart."
"The Blanchett Family will ensure she doesn’t bother you again."
Selena nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Patriarch Blanchett."
"You’re welco."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Selena, Kane found an excuse and left.
Iris Sinclair, watching the dramatic scene, clicked her tongue, "The Blanchett Family is truly ruthless. Now that Catherine is useless, they’re treating her this way."
Keith shrugged beside her, "She brought it upon herself. If her ambition hadn’t inflated to the point of trying to fra the Lady, she wouldn’t have ended up here."
Ultimately, it was Catherine’s unwillingness, her ambition, and desires that had overtaken her heart.
Since the announcent of Selena as the Norwood Family’s Lady, Catherine’s internal evil intent towards Selena had already taken root.
After the subsequent events, Catherine beca increasingly resentful and unwilling towards Selena.
She attempted to rise again by relying on Keith, yet forgot that Keith was part of the Norwood family.
The first strict rule the Norwood family stipulated was that branches must unconditionally obey the main line to maintain its position and reputation.
Catherine’s actions had already angered the Norwood family’s branch mbers.
If it weren’t for Sterling and Selena’s silence, they wouldn’t have let Catherine continue like this.
"After this, Catherine probably won’t be considered important anymore, right?"
Selena’s lips curled, she said.
"I think the Blanchett Family wouldn’t dare to hold her dear again."
Iris replied.
Then, Kane held Rosalind’s hand, standing center stage.
After saying a lot of things, Kane left the stage to Rosalind.
She held hands with a young nobleman, dancing at the center of the dance floor.
The subsequent events were no longer participated in by Selena and Iris.
"Are you not leaving yet?"
Selena looked at Keith, who remained motionless after escorting them to the door.
Iris smiled and said, "Cousin-in-law, don’t mind him. He’s probably going off to flirt!"
Keith chuckled, "Iris gets !"
Selena also smiled, "Alright, we won’t disturb you."
After speaking, Selena parted ways with Iris.
After Selena got into the car, Hope started the vehicle.
*
Returning to the main residence, seeing the lit bedroom, Selena knew Sterling was already ho.
"You can go rest now."
Selena told Hope.
"Yes, good night, Lady."
"Good night."
After Hope left, Selena entered the main residence.
"Lady, you’re back?"
As she stepped inside, the butler greeted her.
"Hmm."
Selena nodded.
"The Family Head is back already; shall I bring today’s milk to you later?"
Selena thought for a mont and shook her head, "Not today."
"Understood, Lady, please rest early."
The butler acknowledged and stepped back.
"Hmm, sa to you."
After responding to the butler, Selena went upstairs.
She opened the bedroom door and walked in.
In the bedroom, Sterling wore a loose robe, leaning against the bedside, his robe open to reveal a broad chest.
The view revealed taut and lean abs.
He held a docunt, browsing it.
Upon hearing the door open, Sterling looked up.
What he saw was Selena rushing towards him.
Sterling instinctively tossed the docunt aside, allowing Selena to snuggle into his embrace.
Selena nuzzled against his chest and then raised her head, "Did you do it on purpose?"
