Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 532: Ever-Mounting Mysteries

After Selena Kensington and Lea Dutton left, they passed through multiple layers of verification checkpoints and then entered a room.

The room was filled with shelves, each one laden with various document files.

"Is this The Empire Archives?"

Selena asked.

Lea nodded, "Sister, what are you looking for?"

Selena thought for a moment, "The records of research scientists from forty to fifty years ago."

Lea didn’t expect Selena would want to look into these and was a bit surprised, but she said nothing.

After locating the position of these records on the computer, she quickly headed toward the shelves.

"Sister, over here."

Lea stopped at a certain spot.

"These are all of them. I’ll wait beside you. Call me when you’re done."

Selena nodded, and Lea left, leaving the space to Selena.

Each box on the shelves was specifically marked with whose file it contained.

Selena looked through each box one by one, layer by layer.

When Selena was nearly through with the entire shelf and still hadn’t seen her grandparents’ names, she found the file boxes labeled ’Winston Kensington, Rachel Shaw’ in the corner of the bottom layer.

Selena took it out with excitement.

The file boxes had been sitting for a long time and had gathered some dust.

Selena dusted off the file box and then opened it.

Inside was information about Winston Kensington and Rachel Shaw.

The records stated that Winston Kensington and Rachel Shaw were a married couple who were research scientists at The Imperial Academy of Sciences.

They had remarkable achievements in hematology; they even published many theses on human blood.

Forty or fifty years ago, the couple, along with some team members, went to The D-Nation to attend an international scientific conference.

They collaborated with some research scientists from The D-Nation on an experiment.

Selena looked at the attached couple’s photo beside the records.

When she saw Winston Kensington’s photo, she understood why those people were able to trace her father.

Because Connor Kensington looked so much like Winston Kensington.

Selena then looked at Rachel Shaw.

She frowned slightly.

She kept feeling that she had seen someone similar to Rachel Shaw somewhere...

Selena continued flipping through the records, and when she got to the end, she was in disbelief.

Because the file noted the cause of Winston Kensington and Rachel Shaw’s deaths.

Winston Kensington and Rachel Shaw died at the age of twenty-five in an experiment explosion.

No one in the same laboratory survived, and their daughter Nancy Kensington went missing.

Twenty-five years old?!

Selena’s eyes widened in disbelief. Impossible!

If her grandparents died at twenty-five, how could her father have been born?!

Selena felt a rush of confusion.

She immediately rejected the Empire Archives’ mistake.

But later, she realized that any information recorded in the Empire Archives must have been verified and authenticated.

But she’s sure her grandparents did not die at twenty-five.

At the very least, they didn’t die in an experiment explosion!

Then... what on earth happened during that time?

If the experiment explosion was real, who saved her grandparents, and whom were they working for afterward?

Selena’s mind was in chaos for a moment. She hastily gathered the files and stood up to head in Lea’s direction.

As she approached Lea, she composed herself.

"I’ve finished my research, let’s go."

Lea stood up, not noticing any peculiarity with Selena. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Okay."

Afterward, Lea and Selena went to the underground parking lot.

Upon getting into the car, Lea handed over an eye mask again.

"Sorry to trouble you, sister."

Selena shook her head, "It’s no bother."

Following that, Selena put on the eye mask.

As soon as Selena wore the eye mask, Lea started the car and left the underground parking lot.

With the eye mask on, Selena chose to close her eyes to soothe her earlier emotions.

Now, she had basically confirmed a few things.

Her grandparents were once researchers at The Imperial Academy of Sciences.

But after they arrived in The D-Nation, an accident occurred, resulting in their death.

This was according to the records in The Empire Archives.

Yet, from the information Selena knew, her grandparents had not died in the experiment but were taken away by someone else.

And they worked for those people.

So, who exactly were these people?

Could they be the ones who later pursued Winston Kensington and Rachel Shaw?

*

After driving for over half an hour, Lea reminded Selena that she could remove the eye mask.

Selena took off the eye mask and found that they had arrived at the foot of Mount Serpentis.

"Sister, let me take you up."

Lea suggested.

Selena nodded slightly, "Sorry for the inconvenience."

Because Selena was in the car, the guards stationed at the mountain quickly allowed the car to pass.

When they reached the front of the main estate, Lea notified Selena.

"Sister, we’re here."

Selena nodded and got out of the car.

Lea hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister, I might have to resign."

Selena slightly raised her eyebrows, not showing much surprise.

After coming back from Stonefall, Lea seemed very busy.

Selena hadn’t seen her many times.

"The Celestial Division has had a lot of assignments recently, so I don’t have time to be your assistant."

After Lea said this, she added, "But rest assured, sister, I’m still your loyal fan!"

Selena smiled, "That’s fine. Even if you’re not my assistant, we’re still friends."

"Yes!"

Lea responded earnestly to Selena’s words.

"Then, sister, I’ll be leaving now."

"Okay."

Afterward, Selena watched Lea leave the main estate.

Once the vehicle disappeared from Selena’s sight, she turned to walk inside the main estate.

Upon entering, Selena asked the butler, "Is Sterling at home?"

The butler shook his head, "The Family Head has gone to The Imperial Building."

Selena nodded and went upstairs.

Once in the bedroom, she sent Sterling Norwood a message.

[Selie Stays Slim]: Come back early today. I have something to tell you.

[J]: Okay.

Sterling Norwood knew that Selena had gone to the Celestial Division today to check the Empire Archives.

So, when she messaged him, something must have happened.

Upon receiving Selena’s message, he stood up, ready to leave the office.

"?"

Silvester Norwood, who was about to walk in and report some issues, was baffled.

"Brother, there’s still a meeting later..."

Silvester tried to get Sterling to stay.

Sterling didn’t even turn back, saying, "You attend it."

"..."

Silvester told himself internally.

Smile, you must keep smiling.

This wasn’t the first time; he’d get used to it.

Afterward, Silvester had no choice but to prepare for the content of the upcoming meeting.

And once Selena saw Sterling’s reply, she set her phone aside and prepared to take an afternoon nap.

But she hadn’t fallen deeply asleep when she felt a warm, damp breath on her face.

She frowned slightly.

Instinctively, she pushed away whatever was on her face, "Stop it."
