Selena Kensington thought for a mont about how to tell Sterling Norwood about this.
After she made up her mind, she took a deep breath.
Then she spoke.
"I received an invitation to the Corinthia Film Festival."
After saying this, Selena kept watching Sterling’s reaction.
Sterling’s eyes darkened the mont he heard her words.
Although he didn’t react outwardly, Selena sensed his reluctance.
Selena reached out and took his hand, "I’m only going for three days, and my belly hasn’t shown yet, with no adverse reactions, so there shouldn’t be any problem going now."
She patiently explained to Sterling.
But Sterling was steadfast, "What if sothing happens to you in those three days?"
"Even though I’m strong enough, in this matter, I’m at a standstill."
When Sterling said this, Selena was silent.
Because she truly didn’t know how to continue.
Though Sterling is strong, in this matter, he is powerless.
So he could only keep an eye on Selena at all tis.
For Sterling, there was no better way than staying at the main house.
Seeing Selena silent, Sterling changed the topic, "You ntioned earlier that your cousin would find you, rember?"
"Hmm?"
Selena tilted her head and thought about it.
That seed to be the case.
Then Selena nodded vigorously, "Yes!"
"..."
Watching his wife’s innocent manner, the gloom Sterling felt dissipated instantly.
"... Speaking of which, it’s been so long, why hasn’t he contacted ?"
Selena also sensed sothing was amiss, frowning slightly.
"Did sothing happen to my cousin?!"
Selena asked tensely.
Sterling was silent for a mont, then nodded slightly, "The people we sent ca back and said the Jennings family disappeared entirely."
"How is that possible?!"
Selena instinctively blurted out in shock.
The Jennings family has always lived in seclusion in so unknown place.
And the Jennings family has always been low-key, staying out of the world’s disputes.
They would never provoke anyone.
"They couldn’t just hide unless they were captured..."
Selena murmured.
Then she suddenly thought of sothing, quickly took out her phone, and found the number Timothy Jennings had called her from last ti.
Timothy said this number belonged to Sarah Sutton, perhaps she knew Timothy’s whereabouts.
"Hello?"
Sarah Sutton’s voice ca through.
"Sarah, it’s , Selie."
Selena quickly asked, "Do you have any news about Timothy?"
Sarah sounded puzzled, "Hasn’t Timothy gone to find you yet?"
"I rember he said before leaving that he could go look for you as long as he got Grandma Jennings’ permission."
"..."
Hearing Sarah’s words, Selena’s heart sank to the bottom.
It seed that Sarah also didn’t know about the Jennings family’s situation.
"I see, thank you."
Sarah sensed sothing was wrong in Selena’s tone, "Selie, has sothing happened?"
Selena thought since Timothy had left her Sarah’s number, she might have so ans.
So, Selena didn’t hide it from Sarah.
"The Jennings family... has disappeared."
Sarah’s shocked voice ca through, "How... how is this possible!!!"
Selena’s voice was bitter, "I don’t want to believe it either, but it indeed happened."
"Sarah, if you have any news, please let know promptly, okay?"
Sarah agreed, "Of course, I’ll do my best to find out for you."
"Thank you."
After expressing her gratitude, Selena hung up the phone.
She looked at Sterling, "Sarah also doesn’t know Timothy’s whereabouts."
"Do you think it might be the work of that organization..."
After saying this, Selena started second-guessing herself, "But what’s their motive to do such a thing now..."
Sterling also fell into deep thought.
If those people wanted to bury God.
Then the Clan of Celestial Masters, who fought with Fell Beasts since Ancient Tis, would indeed be their focus.
But why, why wait until now to act.
Why wait until his wife is pregnant...
Could it be...
Sterling suddenly thought of sothing.
Could those people not want the curse to be broken!?
Otherwise, they had no reason to capture the Jennings family now.
If they wanted to use the Celestial Master’s power, the Jennings family would have been taken from the start.
But now, since Timothy found a solution, naturally, those people wouldn’t let this situation develop.
So they directly captured the Jennings family.
"I’ve already sent people to investigate, there’ll be news in a few days."
"...Okay."
Selena forced a smile.
But no matter how one looked, it was reluctant.
Sterling glanced around, then said to Selena, "Let’s go, the wind’s picking up outside, let’s go back inside."
"Alright."
Selena nodded slightly, then followed Sterling out of the gazebo.
*
In the following days, Selena was imrsed in a routine of sleeping and nurturing her pregnancy.
Seeing her increasing weight, Selena finally gave up.
The sun was just right this day, so Selena decided to bask on the balcony.
Sterling brought a blanket to cover her.
Then instructed the servants to bring up so snacks.
"I’ll be in the study, ssage if you need anything."
Sterling leaned down and planted a kiss on her forehead.
Selena waved her hand, "Mhm, go on."
Once Sterling left, Selena took out her phone out of boredom.
As soon as she did, she saw a notification from Weibo.
#Star of Entertainnt Finals!#
#Champion: Vivian Sutton!#
#Annelise Mayfield is the dark horse of the competition!#
Selena raised her eyebrows slightly.
She hadn’t expected that during the few days holed up at the main house, the Star of Entertainnt had concluded.
Her younger brother really did as he said and let her focus on resting.
This made Selena out of touch with outside events these days.
Because usually, she was either sleeping or eating.
Moreover, Sterling believed the phone’s radiation wasn’t good for her health, so Selena rarely had ti to play with her phone.
[Vivian Sutton is amazing!!!]
[The Stardust sisters debut in the spotlight!!!]
[Aah, Annelise Mayfield is such a delightful sight!]
[Excited to see which agency Annelise will sign with!!!]
[I bet Radiance and Stardust won’t pass up such a talent!]
[Can’t believe Star of Entertainnt is over, I haven’t had enough!!]
Selena laughed while looking at the comnts above, then exited the Weibo interface.
She opened her chat window with Vivian Sutton on WeChat.
She typed a ssage into the input box and sent it.
[Selie Stays Slim]: Congratulations to our beautiful Vianne for missing runner-up, beautifully clinching the championship.
