Chapter 801: Trending Frenzy
"What happened in the outer realms?"
Selena Kensington took a deep breath and asked.
Samuel Dalton’s gaze slightly shifted, seemingly unwilling to say more, "It’s nothing, just some complicated matters..."
Having said this, he noticed that Selena Kensington’s gaze was still fixed on him.
Instantly, he didn’t continue speaking.
Selena’s gaze was calm, seemingly not intimidating, yet it was what Samuel Dalton found most unbearable.
So under such a gaze from Selena Kensington, Samuel Dalton didn’t last more than a few seconds before conceding.
He obediently said, "There’s news from the outer realms as well about the End of the World Carnival, causing unrest. Sterling Norwood and I have formed a collaboration to share information about the End of the World Carnival, so I’m planning to return to the Isle of Cyrin, to keep watch outside The Southern Domain and better receive the movements from the outer realms."
Hearing Samuel Dalton’s words, Selena Kensington furrowed her brows.
"The End of the World Carnival is so popular in the outer realms...?"
Selena thought for a moment and asked this question.
Regarding the concept of the End of the World Carnival, Selena only remained at the level where as long as you have the chips, you could get anything you wanted.
A hint of mockery flashed in Samuel Dalton’s eyes, "The End of the World Carnival is widely spread in the gray areas of the outer realms. They attempt to realize their ambitions through it. So once any news about the End of the World Carnival spreads, they would become restless."
The transactions in the End of the World Carnival are rumored to be so powerful that they could even bring down a big family with just a word.
As people spread this, it adds a layer of mystery to the End of the World Carnival.
Because they only know the term but don’t know what it actually is, who organized this carnival, whether someone is controlling it, or whether the time and location are fixed...
These are all unfamiliar to those in the gray areas of the outer realms.
But this does nothing to dampen their enthusiasm for the End of the World Carnival. After all, who wouldn’t want to seize an opportunity to soar to new heights?
After listening to Samuel Dalton, Selena Kensington didn’t continue asking questions.
She nodded, her eyes tinged with a hint of worry.
"Take care of yourself."
Listening to her words, a warm current seemed to flow through Samuel Dalton’s heart, making him feel warm inside.
Knowing Selena couldn’t stay outside for too long, he didn’t continue the conversation.
He said, "Don’t worry, sis, I’ll take good care of myself."
Seeing that Samuel Dalton had agreed, Selena didn’t say anything more to him.
She turned and got back into her car.
Watching Selena’s car start and leave, Samuel Dalton then turned and walked towards his own car.

The night after the annual gala, headlines about this year’s Stardust Gala flooded the internet.
#Stardust Gala# Boiling!
#Stardust and Radiance to merge!# Explosive!
#Felicity Dalton announcing her comeback!# Hot!
#Selena Kensington has new script ideas!# Hot!
#Stardust’s new year plans!# Hot!
The top few trending topics were almost entirely covered by news of the Stardust Gala.
"Whoa, is this real?! It’s not an acquisition nor a collaboration, but a merger? Even though it’s just one word difference, there’s a huge difference..."
"According to on-site sources, after Stardust and Radiance merge, the artists from both companies will have equal rights, and the Dalton Family holds some shares in Stardust... This is indeed a win-win situation for both Stardust and Radiance."
"The new family head of the Dalton Family also appeared. It seems the Dalton Family is pleased with this!"
"Whoa, whoa, as expected of Stardust! Stardust is awesome! Go, go! Hit that international stage!"
"Oh my god! The new Dalton Family head is such a young and handsome man?! Ahh, I’m all for it!"
"Thanks to the Stardust Gala, I have a new hubby now!"
"Get ready, Dalton wives!"
"Is Felicity Dalton making a comeback?! Whoa, I’ve been waiting for you!"
"Congratulations, Felicity, on your comeback! So Hugh, your wife is making a comeback, when will you be coming back too?"
"Hugh: Too busy being a CEO, coming back is impossible!"
"Hahaha, what a straightforward comment above!"
The internet was flooded with comments and trending topics about the Stardust Gala.
After showering and brushing her teeth, Selena Kensington lay on her bed and picked up the phone next to her and started looking at it.
She casually clicked into the Weibo trending topics.
The phone interface even lagged slightly when she clicked in.
She was a bit surprised, could it be that today’s Stardust events almost crashed the Weibo servers?
However, Weibo’s servers held on strong.
When Selena clicked into the Weibo trending ranking and saw the trending topic about herself, she was somewhat surprised.
How come even the slightest thing about her could become a trending topic...?
If she didn’t know that Hugh Kensington and Stardust’s PR department wouldn’t do something so boring, she would have suspected them of hiring fake commenters for her.
Since she was bored, Selena clicked into the trending topic related to her.
The pinned content in the topic was about what she said during the red carpet interview.
Evidently, her fans were very excited about her having new creative ideas.
"To catch sister’s attention, I’ve already finished the encyclopedia for infants and toddlers..."
"Wake up, the one above, sister hasn’t posted on Weibo for a long time, it’s been so long that it’s grown weeds."
"Who knows how excited I was when I saw this news! Finally, sister is going to write a new script!"
"Ahhhh looking forward to Director Kensington’s new script! Without Director Kensington these months, I haven’t been interested in watching any drama, desperately needing a new script from her to soothe my wounded little heart!"
"Let’s all shout together, HE! HE! HE!"
"Even if Director Kensington wants to write a new script, it’ll probably have to wait until after she gives birth, so hang in there, sisters, we’ve survived these months, we can hang on a little longer!"
"Am I the only exception? You’re all looking forward to sister’s new drama, but I’m more looking forward to what sister’s baby will look like! With such excellent parents, the child can’t be that bad either, right!"
"You’re not alone! Sisters, trust in the genes of the Empire’s top family, the Norwood Family! The Norwoods are no ordinary people; they must be dragons and phoenixes in the pond!"
As Selena Kensington looked at the comments from netizens, the smile on her lips never faded.
These netizens are truly adorably quirky.
While Selena was amused, staring at her phone, Sterling Norwood had already come out of the bathroom.
He saw Selena leaning against the headboard, with her eyes downcast, smiling at her phone.
He raised an eyebrow slightly and walked over.
