Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 432: Secrets of the Past

"But after decades have passed... they’ve been hiding in the shadows, struggling to survive, and no one knows whether they’ve succeeded."

Because of these pie-in-the-sky promises, these ridiculous dreams, many have perished in the experiments.

Moreover, those experimenters have captured offspring of Fell Beasts from various places who are not protected by noble families.

As a result, the number of surviving offspring of Fell Beasts has sharply reduced.

And now those offspring of Fell Beasts without the protection of noble families have directly gone into hiding.

Disconnecting themselves from worldly affairs.

"Who’s their leader?"

Sterling Norwood asked.

"Kull... that’s just a code name for that person; in fact, he has never appeared, always relying on his representative."

"Moreover, that person is extremely cautious, retreating completely before we initiate full-scale capture."

When this event occurred, Saul Norwood was only in his twenties.

Sterling Norwood furrowed his brow slightly, "Then where did he get wind of these matters?"

It couldn’t have been leaked by the offspring of Fell Beasts.

After all, they are of the same kind and understand more about the current societal fear and apprehension towards their kind.

If they were to publicize, it would result in even more lethal repercussions.

Therefore, unless the inherited noble families dare to walk openly in the world, other surviving offspring of Fell Beasts carefully conceal their lineage and abilities.

To avoid detection by ordinary people.

Saul Norwood shook his head.

He then brought up another topic.

"Earlier I mentioned to you, perhaps Connor Kensington’s parents are related to that organization."

"Subsequently, I reviewed the confidential archives of The Empire; among those who participated in the experiment back then, none bore the surname Kensington."

Sterling Norwood continued with Saul Norwood’s words, "So their foundation is not in The Empire, but overseas?"

Saul Norwood nodded, "That’s possible."

"Those who escaped fled overseas, fearing to return to The Empire, therefore could only secretly develop abroad."

"Connor Kensington’s parents might have been recruited at that time, gaining crucial information, but what happened afterwards is unknown, leading to being pursued..."

"Before fully investigating, it’s best not to let Selie leave The Empire for too long."

Otherwise, those people recklessly infiltrated Aethelgard just to assassinate Connor Kensington.

It’s hard to guarantee they won’t continue targeting the Kensington siblings.

A cold and ruthless light flashed in Sterling Norwood’s eyes, a powerful killing aura spread outwards.

"They won’t get the chance."

Afterward, Sterling Norwood left the study.

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Selena Kensington had already bathed and was lying on the bed, idly flicking through her phone while constantly looking towards the door.

She was a bit puzzled, what exactly was Sterling Norwood discussing with the elder?

Having been talking for quite so long...

It’s been almost an hour.

Selena Kensington thought about this while idly flicking through her phone.

Being New Year’s Eve, her social media and Weibo were particularly active.

Many fans flocked to wish her joy for the New Year under her latest Weibo post.

Selena Kensington smiled as she responded to them.

After a while, her phone received a text message.

Selena Kensington raised her eyebrows slightly; someone actually texted her?

She suddenly thought of Samuel Dalton.

Selena Kensington opened the text, and sure enough, it was still the overseas number.

The content said: Happy New Year, Sister.

It was indeed Samuel Dalton.

Selena Kensington’s eyes smiled; if Samuel Dalton could send her a message, it showed he was doing well. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

This message was better than any blessing.

She replied as well: Happy New Year, Ayen.

After replying to the message, Selena Kensington heard the sound of the bedroom door opening.

She quickly looked towards the door.

Seeing Sterling Norwood, whose gaze still carried a hint of ruthlessness, Selena Kensington paused, instinctively blurting out, "Sterling, you..."

When Sterling Norwood looked over, Selena Kensington continued saying, "You wouldn’t have argued with Grandpa, would you?"

This sentence made Sterling Norwood amused and exasperated.

The gloominess and frustration in his heart were dissipated quite a lot.

"No."

Upon hearing Sterling Norwood’s answer, Selena Kensington pouted.

"Then why did you go for so long..."

"Are you feeling no excitement with me anymore, do you not love me..."

Selena Kensington knew how pretentious and unreasonable these words sounded.

But she wouldn’t stop herself from being spoiled and acting up.

Perhaps those who are loved have nothing to fear.

Sterling Norwood felt a bit of a headache hearing her words.

Because in the books he read, when the wife says ’don’t you love me anymore...’, it’s definitely a level ten dangerous alarm.

Whatever you say, you’re wrong.

So, Sterling Norwood walked over silently.

He picked up Selena Kensington sitting by the bedside.

Selena Kensington felt herself leave the ground and hurriedly wrapped her arms around Sterling Norwood’s neck.

"What are you doing."

She glared at Sterling Norwood.

"Let’s take a bath."

Selena Kensington twisted around, "I’ve bathed, you go yourself."

"We’ll bathe again, together."

Sterling Norwood said seriously, with an unwavering face.

Selena Kensington widened her eyes, her face flushed red.

Sterling Norwood actually said such erotic words without blinking or blushing?!

After that, regardless of Selena Kensington’s willingness, she was taken by Sterling Norwood to bathe again.

...

Later, Selena Kensington was exhausted and collapsed limply in Sterling Norwood’s arms.

Drowsiness and fatigue engulfed her; before sleep, she drowsily reminded Sterling Norwood, "...remember to wake me at midnight."

Then she fell asleep.

Sterling Norwood, helpless, lowered himself and kissed her cheek, carried Selena Kensington out of the bathroom.

Every year on New Year’s Day, after midnight, Mount Serpentis would light fireworks.

To celebrate the arrival of the new year.

In her dream, Selena Kensington felt a warm touch lingering on her cheek.

The warm breath tickled her face-making it slightly numb.

The sensation stirred her heart with an itch, compelling Selena Kensington to open her eyes without choice.

Upon opening her eyes, she found herself awoken by Sterling Norwood’s kiss.

He seemed to really enjoy waking her like this.

Whenever Selena Kensington asks him to wake her, he prefers this method.

Just waking up, Selena Kensington’s eyes were still sleepy; she drowsily asked, "Is it midnight yet?"

"Almost."

Sterling Norwood’s low, slightly hoarse voice sounded.

Selena Kensington crawled out of his embrace, looking out at the balcony.

Sterling Norwood also got up and took a small blanket beside him.

"Put this on."

At his words, Selena Kensington obediently draped the blanket over herself.

Then she reached out her hands.

The actions were smooth and skillful; Sterling Norwood bent down slightly and picked her up.

"Hehe."

Selena Kensington satisfied, kissed Sterling Norwood’s cheek.

Afterward, Sterling Norwood carried her out onto the balcony.

As soon as they stepped onto the balcony, sounds of fireworks exploding rose from below the mountain.

Brilliant fireworks burst into the sky, dazzlingly splendid.

The glow of the fireworks illuminated their faces.

Selena Kensington lifted her head in Sterling Norwood’s embrace to touch Sterling Norwood’s lips.
