"Cough, cough, cough..."
Hugh Kensington interrupted the sowhat ambiguous scene with a sound.
Selena Kensington looked at the expressions of everyone at the table, a clear display of showing off their relationship.
She was montarily speechless.
After ending the topic, the group began to have their al.
Once dinner finished, Iris Sinclair and Silas Sinclair left first.
Selena stood at the doorway and said goodbye to the Hawthorne siblings along with Hugh Kensington and Felicity Dalton.
"Sloane, rember to co to the film crew tomorrow."
"Alright, sister, I will."
Sloane Hawthorne obediently responded and then left with Jonah Hawthorne.
Selena looked at Hugh Kensington and Felicity Dalton.
"What plans do you guys have coming up?"
Hugh Kensington wrapped his arm around Felicity Dalton, and the two exchanged a glance at the ntion.
"After the New Year, Felicity and I plan to go abroad for a trip."
Selena nodded, "Sounds good, where to?"
"Outside the Northern Realm."
Upon hearing those words, Selena was taken aback.
For a mont, she looked at Hugh Kensington with a complex expression. "Hugh... you’ve decided to go see for yourself after all."
Although she was reluctant for the clues to stop there, they seed insignificant compared to Hugh’s safety.
Hugh nodded, "Yes."
Selena felt a bit worried, "But that might be their territory, exposing yourself to their view like that..."
Perhaps they were just waiting for them to step out of The Empire and into their territory.
That would make it easier to eliminate them.
"Don’t worry, sis, we’re going there under the guise of Felicity’s fashion event outside the Northern Realm. In front of the dia, those people shouldn’t dare to make any reckless moves."
Felicity Dalton is an international actress, so her travels are sure to attract a lot of attention.
Especially since she has been quiet for so long, suddenly revealing an event, her fans would undoubtedly pay more attention.
And the event organizers would also take extra asures to protect her privacy.
Hearing Hugh say this, Selena understood that he had planned everything from the start, even thinking through all his escape routes.
Thus, Selena had no reason to stop him.
She stepped forward and gave Hugh a hug.
"Be safe."
"I will."
Hugh gently patted Selena’s shoulder, offering reassurance.
"Alright, you and Felicity head back ho first."
After hugging Hugh, Selena said.
"Goodbye, sister."
After Felicity Dalton and Hugh Kensington left, Selena also returned with Sterling Norwood.

The next day, Selena began her previous filming work.
Today, the focus was on the scenes between Paloma Quinn, Rhys Kidd, and Quincy Goodman.
As Selena arrived at the set, Lea Dutton inford her that the three main actors had gone to the makeup room to change outfits.
Selena nodded and then discussed other matters with the assistant director.
"The scenes at the film city should be wrapped up within a week, right?"
The assistant director pondered for a mont before nodding.
"The large-scale fight scenes can’t be fild in this film city. Do you know of any film cities that can accommodate this, Mr. Xu?"
"Stonefall’s film city is famous for shooting large scenes."
The assistant director inford her.
Selena furrowed her brow slightly as she pondered, "Stonefall..."
The assistant director nodded beside her, "Director Kensington, don’t be misled by its na ’Stonefall’ assuming it’s surrounded by mountains. Actually, the city is famous for Mount Nimbus, hence the na."
"The western side of Stonefall is a vast plain with hills. Ever since investors developed a film city there years ago, many large-scale fight scenes have been shot on location."
Selena nodded, she indeed hadn’t heard of that.
"Is it difficult to book the film city’s usage rights?"
"Well..."
"Perhaps you could tell President Kensington and see if he can make a reservation."
"There shouldn’t be any big productions scheduled during this period."
The assistant director thought for a while and said to Selena.
"Alright."
Selena agreed.
She then told Hugh Kensington about it.
Hugh replied to her, "Got it, I’ll make the reservation."
Afterward, Selena continued filming without worry.
Sloane Hawthorne, Harvey Vance, and Cole Vaughn ca out after changing outfits.
Seeing Cole Vaughn’s appearance, Selena exclaid that she truly made the right choice.
Initially, she thought Cole Vaughn might struggle to adapt to Quincy’s initially pure and ethereal manner.
Yet surprisingly, he got into character faster than she imagined.
Standing there, Selena thought she was seeing Quincy.
Quincy first appeared with flowing white robes, seemingly tranquil and with an aura of the mystical State Preceptor.
But hidden behind his mask and robes was imnse ambition and ruthlessness.
Sloane Hawthorne t the legendary State Preceptor of The Valerion Kingdom, Quincy, formally while accompanying Rhys Kidd at the sacrificial ceremony.
Afterwards, due to certain probing and hostility, the three engaged in rivalry.
Rhys Kidd had always been suspicious of Quincy’s background, believing his rapid rise to power in The Valerion Kingdom was not only due to his capabilities but also had undisclosed secrets.
anwhile, Quincy saw Rhys Kidd as a potential formidable obstacle for his ascension to the pinnacle of power.
Paloma Quinn’s appearance was seen by Quincy as an opportunity indicating Rhys Kidd’s vulnerability.
So he began sending people to probe Paloma Quinn and even dispatched assassins after her.
In investigating Paloma Quinn, he discovered her true identity.
Quincy considered Paloma Quinn a highly intriguing pawn and attempted to win her over, but was rejected.
Later, Quincy exploited the inability of Paloma Quinn and Rhys Kidd to reveal their secrets to each other, sowing discord between them.
Had it not been for Ian Kaye’s intervention from behind the scenes, Quincy’s sche might have succeeded.
But eventually, Paloma Quinn and Rhys Kidd resolved their differences and confided their secrets to each other.
They fully revealed their identities.
Once the three had changed outfits and stood in the center of the scene, the crew began signaling the lighting and cara teams to get into position.
"Action!"
The crew’s words fell, and the set entered filming mode.
At first, Selena observed quietly, but gradually her brow furrowed more and more.
"Stop."
Later, she directly called for a halt.
With Selena’s voice, everyone on set turned to look at her.
"Take a break."
After saying that, Selena stood up, "Sloane, co over here for a mont."
From the mont filming began, she noticed that Sloane Hawthorne, who held ground against Harvey Vance in their scenes, was subtly suppressed by the overwhelming presence of Cole Vaughn.
Cole Vaughn couldn’t possibly use acting to overpower the other; thus, it must be his incredibly strong charisma.
Thinking of this, Selena couldn’t help but feel that while Cole Vaughn was indeed excellent, his presence was too overpowering.
Harvey Vance, with years of acting experience, could hold out under these circumstances for a while.
But Sloane Hawthorne struggled, the sheer intensity causing her pores to tremble with unease.
"Are you okay?"
Selena handed over a bottle of water, asking with concern.
