Selena Kensington glanced at it for a while and then received a ssage from Sloane Hawthorne.
[Sloane]: Sis, shall we et directly at the entrance of the film festival?
Selena thought for a mont and then replied to Sloane Hawthorne.
[Selie Stays Slim]: Yes, let’s et directly at the entrance of the film festival.
[Selie Stays Slim]: Our superstar should put on a dazzling show~
Yesterday, while walking on the streets of the Isle of Cyrin, Selena noticed that so shops were still putting up posters of Sloane Hawthorne.
After "Immortal Path" beca popular, Selena seized the opportunity to promote it overseas.
At that ti, it caused so sensation.
This ti with "Butterfly Fla," Selena opted for a global simultaneous release.
With the backing of Stardust and the Norwood Family, coupled with the previous buzz from "Butterfly Fla,"
foreign cinemas wouldn’t ignore this much anticipation.
Therefore, as "Butterfly Fla" was released dostically, it was also being screened abroad.
Many foreign netizens had already ford so impressions of Faith Fuller in "Immortal Path."
Because Sloane Hawthorne was highly distinguishable by face and voice, this global release of "Butterfly Fla" also earned her a batch of international fans.
Although there’s still a significant gap compared to those international stars, this Corinthia Film Festival is enough to propel Sloane Hawthorne into the international entertainnt industry.
Selena wasn’t setting high expectations for Sloane Hawthorne.
After all, given Sloane Hawthorne’s experience and works, winning an award at an international film festival seed a bit far-fetched.
So, as long as she gets nominated, Selena would be quite satisfied.
Moreover, Selena herself was taking a co-what-may attitude towards the film festival’s awards.
She just wished to personally experience the festival atmosphere and feel the vibe of an international film festival.
Thus, winning or not didn’t matter.
Unlike her, Sloane Hawthorne had to climb higher and perform better.
That way, she’d be more qualified to stand by Silas Sinclair’s side.
What Selena could do was provide her with the conditions and opportunities...

By noon, representatives sent by Mrs. Anna arrived.
Selena was taken aback to see the tall and handso foreign man in front of her.
Wasn’t this the person by Samuel Dalton’s side?
Because of his outstanding looks, Selena had scrutinized him quite a bit before.
"Miss Kensington, I’m the one responsible for picking you up, my na is Alan."
Alan noticed the confusion in Selena’s eyes and proactively explained.
Selena nodded slightly, "Thank you."
"It’s my pleasure."
Afterwards, Alan escorted Selena and Hope Norwood to the Colombo Family Manor.
The Colombo Family’s enterprises spanned across various parts of the Isle of Cyrin.
Because the founder of the Colombo Family had an affinity for constructing manors, the family ended up with over a dozen manors on the island.
The most magnificent and anciently mysterious manor
is the one directly inhabited by the Colombo Family’s lineage, nad after Colombo itself—the Colombo Manor.
It’s known that plains on the Isle of Cyrin are scarce.
But Colombo Manor occupies a plain as large as a major farm.
Aside from the overall manor, a significant portion is landscaped with greenery.
Woodlands, adows, gardens...
After entering through the gate of Colombo Manor, you’d still need to drive several more minutes to reach the main entrance of the manor’s building.
When Selena arrived, Mrs. Anna was already waiting at the entrance with nurous maids from the manor.
Mrs. Anna’s gesture sufficiently demonstrated the significance she attached to Selena.
Even if a family head from any large aristocratic family visited, she might not personally co out to greet them.
Selena stepped down.
Mrs. Anna imdiately approached warmly, embracing her.
"Godmother."
Selena said with a smile.
"Co, let’s go inside."
Mrs. Anna smiled as she led Selena inside.
As they walked in, Selena noticed the countless precious paintings, vases, and statues lining the corridor, slightly awed.
These alone showcased the profound heritage of the Colombo Family.
Particularly on the manor’s walls, the ancient atmosphere of the manor was evident everywhere.
"It’s quite an old house; if you like it, you can stay a few more days."
"And keep company."
Mrs. Anna held Selena’s hand, gently patting the back of it.
She spoke softly to her.
The maids following behind were slightly taken aback.
They were quite shocked by Mrs. Anna’s deanor today.
Although Mrs. Anna wasn’t as terrifying as rumored outside,
in the eyes of these maids, she was still a relatively aloof and stern figure.
Except in front of Samuel Dalton, Mrs. Anna would show a trace of warmth.
They had never seen her speak so gently to soone before.
If any maid in the manor made a mistake, the disciplinary thods of Mrs. Anna would make them fear.
So, seeing Mrs. Anna speak so softly to Selena, the maids were shocked.
They adjusted their view of Selena’s status internally.
It seed this lady had a significant background...
Selena caught the longing in Mrs. Anna’s eyes but knew she couldn’t linger long on the Isle of Cyrin.
So, she shook her head slightly, "Sorry, godmother, I might not be able to this ti; I still have matters in Aethelgard..."
Hearing this, Mrs. Anna didn’t press on.
She smiled, "No worries, as long as there’s a chance, godmother will always welco you."
Selena nodded along with her, "Okay, I’ll definitely co when I have a chance."
Subsequently, Mrs. Anna led Selena to the living room.
"Go prepare so pastries."
Mrs. Anna waved, instructing a nearby maid.
"Yes, madam."
A few maids stayed behind, standing not far off, ready to serve.
anwhile, so went to the kitchen to prepare the snacks.
Upon entering the living room, Selena noticed its design and decorations were of Gothic style architecture.
"Alessio went out this morning; he’ll probably be back soon."
"Have sothing to eat first; later I’ll have the stylist and makeup artist co to get you all dolled up."
Mrs. Anna said with a smile.
After all, if you want a full makeover, just the makeup alone could take a few hours.
To prevent Selena from feeling hungry or tired halfway, Mrs. Anna intended to let her have so snacks to replenish her energy first.
"Alright."
Seeing that Mrs. Anna had thought of everything for her, Selena readily agreed without pretense.
Mrs. Anna noticed this and liked her even more.
Especially since Samuel Dalton had returned yesterday and told her he had reconciled his thoughts.
Samuel Dalton conveyed to Mrs. Anna that he would stop dwelling on the past, realizing it was the incorrect thoughts he had that led to mistakes.
His actions also caused quite a bit of trouble for Mrs. Anna and Selena.
Samuel Dalton sincerely apologized to Mrs. Anna.
Last night, Mrs. Anna was so moved that she held onto Samuel Dalton for a heartfelt talk.
She was determined not to let him slip away.
After all, it was the first occasion in a long ti that Mrs. Anna could express everything she had kept hidden in her heart to Samuel Dalton.
