Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Rumors

Clement Luther also greeted Hugh Kensington.

Then, leaving Selena Kensington and Vivian Sutton to continue catching up downstairs, Clement Luther first took Hugh Kensington up to the dormitory.

The dormitories at Aethelgard Media University are excellent, with two people per room, equipped with a private bathroom, balcony, and a small partition.

Vivian Sutton whispered to Selena Kensington downstairs, "Hey, smelly woman, are you really married?"

Selena Kensington nodded and then took out the necklace from her neck to show her, "The wedding ring, do you see it?" This necklace she had strung together, the ring was too conspicuous on her hand, so she had it strung and hung around her neck.

Vivian Sutton's eyes widened as she looked at the ring, "Last time when you sent the picture, I was unsure, but now looking closely, I can confirm it."

"Selie, you married a big figure."

"What's the matter?" Selena Kensington didn't know how Vivian Sutton could determine that just from the ring.

Vivian Sutton explained, "The gemstone on your ring is the 'Deep Sea Spirit'. It was just recently featured in a magazine because of its excellent color, high quality, and difficulty in mining, making it extremely rare on the market now."

"And I can bet, the gemstone carved into this ring is definitely larger than the one in the magazine!"

Vivian Sutton pinched Selena Kensington's slender waist, "Come on, spill it, who is your husband!"

Selena Kensington sighed with admiration, the Sutton Family is truly a leader in the jewelry industry, Vivian Sutton's keen perception really made her feel inferior.

"I'm being serious, don't be scared." Selena Kensington blinked.

Vivian Sutton quickly nodded.

"My husband is Sterling Norwood." Selena Kensington said, then waited to see Vivian Sutton's reaction.

Vivian Sutton's face froze, looking at Selena Kensington like she'd seen a ghost, stiffly saying, "...Is it the Sterling Norwood I'm thinking about?"

Although the Norwood family's direct line was hidden at the top of Mount Serpentis, over the years, the name of that direct line from the Norwood family was still vividly remembered among the upper-class aristocracy.

The next family head of the Norwood Family, Sterling Norwood.

Selena Kensington nodded. Vivian Sutton quickly stepped back a few steps, incredulous, "Selie, let's not joke around, okay?" Not to mention how Selena Kensington married Sterling Norwood, just the idea of Selena Kensington being connected to Sterling Norwood made Vivian Sutton shudder.

Over a decade has passed, yet those rumors remain vividly terrifying.

The upper-class nobles revered and feared that person, yet countless heiresses and debutantes fell for his power.

After all, that's the Norwood family. The Empire's first large aristocratic family, with relatives spread across the country and even abroad. A vast family business, becoming Sterling Norwood's wife, is equivalent to owning half of the Norwood family.

Selena Kensington shook her head, "I'm serious. And no one is forcing me, my husband is really good to me." More than just good, he was practically endlessly accommodating.

Vivian Sutton had a complex expression, looking at Selena Kensington's serious demeanor which didn't seem fake, she took a while before speaking, "Do you know... those rumors?"

Actually, Vivian Sutton didn't quite understand, after all, since she was sensible, she had never heard of that Norwood direct line again, but from the words of the elders, that Norwood direct was a 'monster'.

Vivian Sutton was very worried her friend might suffer grievances.

"Viv, he's great. Really. It's just the public rumors misleading him." Selena Kensington said seriously, she didn't want outsiders to brand Sterling Norwood as a 'monster'.

Words can be fearsome, Selena Kensington understood more than anyone the harm rumors and gossip could bring. It's a weapon more powerful than anything, easily destroying a person's mental defenses.
