Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 521: Justin Osborne

As the hosts began to express themselves, many young noblemen and socialites also started inviting dance partners, joining the dance floor.

Meanwhile, the older attendees discussed matters on the side.

Selena Kensington watched Sterling Norwood’s skilled dance steps and was slightly surprised, "Impressive, Mr. Norwood, did you take a crash course?"

It’s worth noting that Sterling Norwood had never danced with anyone before.

Today’s dance was Sterling Norwood’s first.

However, watching his very practiced rhythm, Selena was quite astonished.

Hearing this, Sterling Norwood was a bit helpless, "Are you really so unconfident in me?"

"Tsk..."

Selena didn’t answer him.

At first, when Selena mentioned this matter to Sterling, he paused for a moment.

Then, he blinked while looking at her, asking her to practice with him.

Of course, Selena spared some time to practice with him once or twice, but then she got too busy organizing the evening banquet, so she let him watch videos to learn by himself.

To her surprise, Sterling’s ability to learn was indeed formidable.

After the dance ended, Selena and Sterling left the dance floor.

"I’ll take you to meet someone."

"Okay."

Sterling took Selena to first meet Justin Osborne.

In this kind of setting, even though Justin Osborne had changed into a suit, it couldn’t conceal the iron-blooded, murderous aura about him.

He seemed to be a man of steel.

But still...

As Selena entered, her nose twitched slightly.

Why did she find a familiar scent on Justin Osborne?

Selena looked over in confusion and just happened to meet Justin Osborne’s gaze.

Selena couldn’t clearly define that look in his eyes, perhaps it was sentimental, perhaps gratified... it was filled with many emotions.

"This is Justin Osborne."

Sterling introduced him to her.

Selena regained her composure, "Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Osborne."

Justin Osborne smiled lightly, bowing his head, "A pleasure, Mrs. Norwood."

"May I have a word in private?"

Selena glanced at the nearby balcony.

Justin Osborne gave Sterling a meaningful look, then nodded, "Certainly."

With that said, he took the lead to walk towards the balcony outside.

Selena said to Sterling, "I’m going to have a talk with him."

Sterling’s expression immediately darkened, "Leaving me behind again?"

Selena’s lips twitched slightly, "I didn’t ask you to leave."

Sterling’s face then warmed again.

Both of them headed to the balcony.

Justin Osborne was already there.

"Mr. Osborne, I have a favor to ask of you."

Selena did not engage in pleasantries with Justin Osborne.

For someone in his position, stating her purpose directly was more useful than indulging in small talk.

Justin Osborne smiled and took a glance at Selena, "Straightforward, aren’t you?"

"You’re looking to investigate the Empire’s archives, right?"

Justin Osborne then revealed Selena’s intention.

A trace of surprise flashed in Selena’s eyes, "Mr. Osborne knows?"

She hadn’t mentioned anything yet, and Justin Osborne already knew her purpose?

"The Norwoods are quite capable, I couldn’t think of anything needing my help, but after pondering, the Empire archives managed by the Celestial Division seem to be the only thing that could attract you."

Seeing that Justin Osborne had figured her out, Selena did not hide it.

She nodded, "I need to investigate some materials."

Justin Osborne’s expression remained unchanged, "Do you know, madam, that the Empire’s archives are confidential, and accessing them requires layer upon layer of reporting and approval?"

Selena and Sterling exchanged a glance.

She shrugged, "That’s why I came to see you."

After all, Justin Osborne was the leader of the Celestial Division and the General of the Empire.

Even if there were approvals and reports, they would eventually reach him.

Selena disliked trouble, so if she could resolve it in one go, why bother dealing with so many issues?

Justin Osborne was momentarily stunned, then let out a soft laugh, "Are you assuming that I will assist you, madam?"

"Even if you don’t help me, I believe my husband will, just the commotion might be a bit larger then."

Selena’s words carried a hint of threat.

What she meant was, if Justin Osborne didn’t help her, she would take the forceful approach.

After all, she had a powerful backing.

Seeing Selena’s proud look, especially with a significant supporter behind her, a tinge of gratification flashed in Justin Osborne’s eyes.

"While others need layers of approvals, you do not; you’re an exception."

"The doors of the Celestial Division are always open for you."

Justin Osborne said this, leaving Selena stunned.

What did he say?

She was an exception?

The doors of the Celestial Division are always open for her?

Wasn’t the Celestial Division the most mysterious organization in the Empire, governing over all the Empire’s secrets?

Justin Osborne was opening such a wide backdoor for her...

Selena, for a moment, looked rather complexly at Justin Osborne.

In her words was a hint of probing, "Could it be that you... are also from the Clan of Celestial Masters?"

Otherwise, Selena couldn’t fathom why Justin Osborne, whom she was meeting for the first time, would treat her this way.

Moreover, upon seeing Justin Osborne at first glance, she noticed the gentle and gratifying look in his eyes.

Almost as if, he had known her for a long time.

Selena suddenly looked towards Sterling beside her.

Sterling shook his head, "He is not."

The Clan of Celestial Masters was declining; if Justin Osborne was truly from the clan, the Norwoods would have known long ago.

Justin Osborne chuckled, "I am indeed not from the Clan of Celestial Masters, but I did cultivate for several years with the Jennings family."

"Your mother, Julian Jennings, was my senior, and your grandmother, was my master."

A hint of incredulousness flashed through Selena’s eyes.

"How is that possible..."

She instinctively spoke out.

This was quite a coincidence.

Moreover, why would someone of Justin Osborne’s status and position take her grandmother as his master?

But if what Justin Osborne said was true,

She then understood why she felt a familiar aura from Justin Osborne earlier.

It was the cultivation method of the Clan of Celestial Masters.

But why could an ordinary person cultivate such a method?!

Seeing Selena’s confusion, Justin Osborne explained, "At the age of three, I was found to have congenital weakness, which was a fatal flaw in the Osborne family."

"Later on, my father utilized connections through the Celestial Division to reach the Jennings family."

"The Jennings family could improve my congenital weakness."

"After that, I stayed in Oakhaven to live and cultivate with the Jennings family."

"I only returned to Aethelgard at fifteen."

Justin Osborne recounted his experience.

In other words, he lived in Oakhaven for twelve years.

"So, the familiar aura on you..."

Selena asked.

Justin Osborne nodded, "It was passed onto me by your grandmother, continuously nourishing my internal organs, keeping my body healthy as it is now."

"That miraculous?"

Selena couldn’t help but exclaim.

Justin Osborne laughed heartily, "Little girl, your grandmother is the only great figure in the Clan of Celestial Masters today!"
