Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 689: Slap in the Face, Catherine Blanchett Loses Control

Her eyes widened, filled with malice, resentment, and madness.

She approached quickly.

Seeing Catherine Blanchett’s actions, Sidney Dalton immediately realized what she intended to do.

But in such a setting, Catherine Blanchett’s move was nothing but a display of guilt.

Sidney Dalton subtly frowned.

Considering Catherine Blanchett’s previous character, she would never make such a reckless move in this kind of situation.

Sidney Dalton vaguely sensed something was amiss, but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what.

Seeing Catherine Blanchett wanting to pounce on Roxanne Sutton, Sidney Dalton’s eyes darkened, "Catch her!"

The waiter, who was already stunned, heard Sidney Dalton’s words and instinctively rushed over, with two waiters hurriedly grabbing Catherine Blanchett’s arms.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

"I’m the Blanchett family’s eldest daughter! How dare you be so presumptuous with me?!"

Catherine Blanchett struggled hard to break free from the grasp of the two waiters, muttering as she did.

The two waiters dared not speak, but they still firmly restrained Catherine Blanchett.

Catherine Blanchett’s uncharacteristic behavior left those present somewhat bewildered.

This was the woman known as the first socialite of Aethelgard?

Why does she seem like a shrew...

Sidney Dalton quickly walked to Catherine Blanchett’s side and whispered, "Calm down, as long as you don’t admit it, what can she do to you?! Don’t forget today is the Dalton and Blanchett families’ main event!"

Sidney Dalton thought that his words would restore Catherine Blanchett’s sensibility.

But Catherine Blanchett now seemed possessed.

Her eyes were fixed dead on Roxanne Sutton.

And being stared at with such venomous resentment, Roxanne Sutton’s smile only deepened.

She spoke slowly, "Miss Blanchett, why look at me like that?"

"If you haven’t done those things, the innocent naturally need no defense..."

"Tsk tsk, to think the first socialite of Aethelgard was rotten to the core. Your esteemed title must have been acquired through such shameful means, right?"

"Eliminating those competitors so that no one would question your socialite status..."

Roxanne Sutton spoke slowly.

As she said this, those below exchanged looks.

They began recalling some past events due to Roxanne Sutton’s words.

Indeed, before Catherine Blanchett secured her position as Aethelgard’s first socialite, many other ladies were also strong contenders.

But at some point, those socialites started to decline.

Either due to scandals or sudden injuries, or family setbacks...

No one thought much of it at the time, but now reflecting on it, they couldn’t help but associate these events with Catherine Blanchett.

They looked at Catherine Blanchett, who was restrained and with a flush at the corner of her eyes, feeling a chill in their hearts.

"Miss Sutton, one shouldn’t speak so carelessly."

Patriarch Blanchett couldn’t stay seated anymore and quickly approached.

Having held the position of Family Head for so long, Patriarch Blanchett naturally exuded an aura of authority when walking.

He assumed that using such an imposing stance to suppress Roxanne Sutton would make her retreat.

Unexpectedly, Roxanne Sutton continued smiling at him.

It seemed she didn’t pick up the threat in his words.

Patriarch Blanchett frowned slightly; he knew Roxanne Sutton was an orphan. Even if she had a father, how could the Sutton Family be compared to the Blanchett Family?

So what was Roxanne Sutton relying on to act so arrogantly now?

Patriarch Blanchett recalled that Roxanne Sutton was previously an actress; perhaps she was just putting on a show now, actually unable to hold on inside.

So Patriarch Blanchett lightly coughed, eyes shifting slightly, with a trace of vicious intent and authority as he looked at Roxanne Sutton.

"You must know, trouble comes from careless talk."

His words were a clear warning and threat.

Roxanne Sutton suddenly chuckled.

"Why? Dare to do but not admit?"

After saying this, she spoke with some impatience, "How about this, since you all want to deny the previous things, go ahead, but that last photo, you can’t deny, right?"

"No matter how fast your hair grows, it can’t possibly have grown that much so soon..."

After speaking, Roxanne Sutton’s gaze skimmed over Catherine Blanchett’s hair.

With a hint of provocation and ridicule.

Being provoked by her gaze, and with the issue involving her hair, Catherine Blanchett began struggling again.

"Arrest her! That bitch! How dare she... dare do this to me!!"

"I will torment you ruthlessly! Leave you no place to die!!"

Vicious words spewed from Catherine Blanchett’s mouth.

At this moment, she had completely lost the image of a socialite, resembling a vicious shrew instead.

Patriarch Blanchett’s face darkened, "Be quiet!"

"Take her away!"

Patriarch Blanchett glared viciously at Catherine Blanchett, filled with disgust and impatience.

Earlier, the Blanchett family’s doctor had mentioned that Catherine Blanchett’s mental state was somewhat unstable, liable to explode at the slightest trigger.

But Catherine Blanchett had shown no unusual behavior at the time and had cooperated well with the arranged marriage with the Dalton Family.

Thus, Patriarch Blanchett hadn’t paid it much mind.

Unexpectedly, just due to Roxanne Sutton’s provocation, she lost control in front of the public.

After tonight, Catherine Blanchett’s reputation would likely be utterly ruined!

The marriage between the Blanchett and Dalton families might end because of this.

So Patriarch Blanchett had run out of patience for Catherine Blanchett.

Nothing but a failure who ruins everything!

What worried Patriarch Blanchett more was the possibility of the Norwood family’s involvement behind Roxanne Sutton.

After all, apart from the Blanchett family, only the Norwood family was present when the photo was taken.

And indeed, Silvester Norwood captured an image back then.

Could the Norwood family be aiding Roxanne Sutton?

Patriarch Blanchett was momentarily indecisive.

Since Roxanne Sutton had appeared, the Norwood family had remained silent.

If the Norwood family was targeting the Blanchett and Dalton families, why go through such lengths?

So Patriarch Blanchett could only guess that Roxanne Sutton obtained the photo through some special means.

Catherine Blanchett’s eyes widened slightly, filled with unwillingness.

"Why?! Father, arrest this nonsense-spouting woman!!"

"How dare she act so brazenly here?!"

Patriarch Blanchett’s eyes darkened, his face gloomy; he walked over and slapped Catherine Blanchett directly.

’Slap!!!’

Patriarch Blanchett held nothing back, leaving a vivid handprint on Catherine Blanchett’s face.

The slap even turned her face sideways.

"Take her down quickly?!"

Patriarch Blanchett coldly glared at the two stunned waiters.

"Ah... Yes, yes!!"

The two waiters came to their senses and quickly dragged the stunned Catherine Blanchett away.
