Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 217: What a Bold Idea
"I understand, but I still need some time. When the time comes, your brother will explain everything to you, okay?"
Timothy Jennings can’t explain this to Selena Kensington now. Sterling Norwood hasn’t told her either, which means he has the same concerns as Timothy.
They both dare not risk Selena until a solution is found.
Selena chuckled, "Alright, I trust you, brother."
"Brother Timothy, do you know... Heavenly Master?"
Selena suddenly asked.
Timothy Jennings suddenly choked.
"Who told you?"
His tone suddenly became somewhat urgent and sharp.
Selena’s eyes deepened, asking tentatively, "I went to Westport before, and met the Mayfield family..."
"It was Aunt Mayfield who said that there is a sealed Heavenly Master bloodline within me."
Westport.
Mayfield family.
With these two combined, Timothy Jennings understood everything.
"The Mayfield family is very dangerous. Don’t get involved with them in the future."
"As for the Heavenly Master bloodline... indeed, you possess it. But Aunt Julian didn’t want you to bear these burdens, so we sealed it away."
The Mayfield family, descendants of the Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline.
Most skilled at ensnaring hearts.
"...Thank you, brother."
Selena wasn’t in a hurry to ask too much, as doing so might make Timothy Jennings suspicious.
As long as she had a lead, she could investigate further.
Finally, Selena chatted with Timothy Jennings for quite a while longer.

After the two parted, Timothy Jennings returned to Miles Goodman’s psychology clinic.
"Miles, I’m going back to Oakhaven."
Timothy Jennings said.
Miles Goodman slightly raised an eyebrow, "Did you meet her?"
Timothy Jennings nodded, "I need to return to the Rivers Family’s ancestral hall to check some ancient texts, to see... if there are methods to dispel the rejection."
Miles Goodman was silent for a while, "Have you... really decided? Isn’t separating them directly the best method?"
Just like his own decision back then.
Timothy Jennings smiled bitterly.
"I know it’s the best method, but I would rather believe that there’s not just one way in this world."
"Moreover, to separate them, I don’t think it’s possible."
To snatch the bride from the hands of The Vile Beasts’ overlord, what a bold idea.
"...I will help you check too."
Miles Goodman seemed somewhat dazed, as if recalling something.
"Thank you. I’ll come to find you again in a while."
"Hmm."
After Timothy Jennings left, Miles Goodman turned and walked into his room.
On the wall of the room, hung a painting.
A woman’s silhouette.
Silver hair cascaded like a waterfall, slightly revealing one side of her face, showing only the corner of her lips curled slightly, invoking endless imagination.
Miles Goodman lovingly touched the face in the painting.
"...There’s not just one way in this world, huh."
Miles Goodman murmured.
"Did I make a mistake from the start?"

After separating from Timothy Jennings, Selena Kensington headed to the office.
"Jonah, take this plan and have them revise it again."
"...Also, pay more attention to hiring new staff with HR."
"...Jonah, Jonah?!"
Selena slightly frowned, feeling that Jonah Hawthorne seemed a bit out of sorts today.
His condition wasn’t right either.
"Ah... sorry, President, I’m feeling a bit unwell today..."
Jonah Hawthorne paused, apologetically explained.
"It’s alright. You should go home and rest today; I’ll handle things here."
Selena could also see that Jonah Hawthorne wasn’t in the right state, so she let him go home to rest.
In the evening, Selena felt something was amiss, so she called Sloane Hawthorne.
"Sister?"
"Sloane, did your brother meet someone today?"
Selena asked.
