Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 800: Stardust and Radiance Merge

Felicity Dalton finished speaking, her eyebrows slightly shifting.

When she saw Samuel Dalton appearing not far away, the smile on her face deepened.

"Samuel is here."

Hearing Felicity Dalton’s words, Selena Kensington turned her head with some surprise.

Samuel Dalton is here too?

Sure enough, just as Selena Kensington turned her head, Samuel Dalton happened to find their location and looked over.

When he noticed Selena Kensington’s gaze, Samuel Dalton slightly curved his lips towards her.

He looked in a good mood.

Selena Kensington also smiled and nodded towards him, then withdrew her gaze.

Samuel Dalton walked over and sat between Selena Kensington and Felicity Dalton.

"Aunt."

He greeted Felicity Dalton.

Felicity Dalton nodded slightly in response.

After greeting Felicity Dalton, Samuel Dalton turned his head towards Selena Kensington.

There was a smile in his eyes, looking well-behaved.

"How has my sister been lately?"

Since Samuel Dalton just took office, although handling affairs of the Dalton Family wasn’t difficult for him, it still required some energy and time.

So, during this period, he could only occasionally send a few messages to Selena Kensington to check in.

Selena Kensington nodded, "Quite well."

Then, Selena Kensington started chatting with Samuel Dalton, with Felicity Dalton occasionally interjecting.

Everyone at the table was chatting with each other, creating a harmonious atmosphere for a while.

The reporters at the banquet were bemused upon witnessing this scene.

They watched the situation at Selena Kensington’s table for a while and then glanced uncertainly at their colleagues beside them.

"These... shouldn’t be deliberately put on, right?"

"I don’t think so... And do they even need to act?!"

"So, what’s going on with them now? Have Stardust and Radiance merged?"

"I think they have, after all Felicity Dalton and the Family Head are both here."

The media whispered among themselves, pondering these ideas internally.

If this was true, their previous press releases could likely be overturned.

Selena Kensington and the others didn’t chat for long before Hugh Kensington returned.

He sat down next to Felicity Dalton and then looked towards Selena Kensington.

Seeing her looking well, he felt reassured.

Soon after, Stardust’s annual meeting commenced.

The host began with a lengthy official introduction, summarizing Stardust’s achievements and accomplishments over the past year, ending with the assurance that this year, Stardust would surpass expectations compared to last year.

After the host’s speech, it was Hugh Kensington’s turn to take the stage.

When Hugh Kensington walked onto the stage, the media suddenly became as animated as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

Eagerly picking up their cameras.

However, what Hugh Kensington said next shocked them so much that they forgot to take pictures.

What Hugh Kensington said next included the itinerary already determined for Stardust this year.

For example, the push for several star artists by Stardust, Stardust’s plans to reach the international stage, and Felicity Dalton’s comeback.

Besides these obvious ambitions, Hugh Kensington dropped a bombshell.

That is, Stardust has already announced its merger with Radiance.

Yes, it’s a merger, not an acquisition.

Radiance is integrated into Stardust, with the previously three-pillar structure of entertainment companies formally becoming one entity.

While Radiance is part of Stardust, the artists from both companies are treated equally.

But this doesn’t mean Radiance will just disappear.

Because Hugh Kensington has given the Dalton family certain shares in Stardust, meaning the Dalton family is a shareholder in Stardust. Moreover, Radiance’s artists enjoy the same treatment as Stardust’s artists.

Given the current situation, the merger of Radiance and Stardust might be a good choice.

After all, due to Sidney Dalton’s previous issues, Radiance’s reputation and status were greatly damaged.

And looking at the Dalton Family Head now, he doesn’t seem inclined to focus heavily on Radiance, so merging with Stardust is probably the best outcome for Radiance.

When Hugh Kensington finished the announcement, the media were both incredulous and felt it was somewhat expected.

After all, for both parties, it appears to be a win-win or even a multi-win situation.

After Hugh Kensington’s speech, there was a segment allocated for media inquiries.

When he arrived at the media area, he was instantly surrounded by them.

"President Kensington, does the merger of Stardust and Radiance mean Stardust will dominate the entertainment industry alone? Does it mean Stardust might monopolize all resources in the entertainment industry..."

"President Kensington, with Stardust aiming to break into the international entertainment industry this year, are you confident about that..."

"Is the Dalton actress truly making a comeback? What’s her first step in returning to the scene?"

"President Kensington, are you concerned about having too many talented individuals under your wing, leading to resource allocation difficulties?"

"........"

The media posed question after question.

Faced with such a scene, Hugh Kensington was quite accustomed to it.

So, handling it was easy.

He casually answered a few questions and then summarized by saying, please stay tuned for Stardust’s future developments, thus ending the media inquiry session.

After that, Stardust’s annual meeting concluded.

Originally, Hugh Kensington wanted to escort Selena Kensington out, but she stopped him first, "You should handle those people inside. I have Felicity and Lea with me, and Samuel also happens to be leaving, so you don’t need to see me out."

Seeing this, Hugh Kensington did not insist but nodded.

"Alright then."

Then Selena Kensington and Samuel Dalton walked out side by side.

Samuel Dalton was very considerate of her, even though when they were leaving, there weren’t many people in the corridor. And when people in the corridor saw a pregnant woman, they would instinctively make way. Still, Samuel Dalton carefully watched over her.

Selena Kensington was amused by his cautious demeanor, she glanced at Samuel Dalton, "You don’t need to be so careful."

Samuel Dalton pursed his lips but stubbornly shook his head.

Seeing this, Selena Kensington let it be.

When they reached outside The Frostfell Hotel, Selena Kensington intended to part ways with Samuel Dalton.

Before separating, Samuel Dalton pondered for a moment, but still called out to Selena Kensington, "Sister."

Hearing Samuel Dalton’s voice, Selena Kensington paused her hand on the car door and turned around asking, "What’s up?"

Samuel Dalton hesitated, "It’s nothing, I just wanted to tell you, sister, that I’m going to leave Aethelgard for the Isle of Cyrin soon. I might be gone for quite a while and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to return before you give birth."

After he finished speaking, he looked seriously and intently at Selena Kensington, "Sister, I’ll do my best to come back."

Selena Kensington gazed into his eyes.

She seemed to sense something, withdrew her hand from the car door handle.

She walked up to Samuel Dalton.
