Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 683: Founder of the Godsbane Organization

But Selena Kensington and Sterling Norwood were well aware.

This was more than just a ridiculous dream.

Although immortality did have elements of exaggeration, it wasn’t something entirely baseless.

"What happened next? Did the experiment succeed?"

Selena slightly pursed her lips and continued to ask.

"...There’s nothing mentioned after that. The diary only records the progress of the experiment and the data after the experiment..."

Samuel Dalton continued to flip through it for a while.

He seemed to have found something, a flicker of disgust passing through his eyes. "These people actually drained the blood of those with special bloodlines while they were still alive to collect experimental samples..."

Selena fell silent.

If that was all, why would it cause the Godsbane Organization to pursue this diary so relentlessly?

"Do you remember the code name of the leader of the Godsbane Organization?"

Selena suddenly turned her head and asked Sterling Norwood.

Sterling Norwood nodded slightly and said blandly, "Kull."

Kull, desiccated bones.

According to a normal timeline, the founder of the Godsbane Organization would have long become a skeleton.

"Then, it can be confirmed that their experiment was successful, and the founder of the Godsbane Organization is still alive..."

"Perhaps, this founder was after immortality from the very beginning."

Selena’s eyes widened a bit, still holding some disbelief.

What kind of person would have such a strong obsession...

As for what Samuel Dalton previously said about the founder of the Godsbane Organization having a dream of immortality, Selena did not believe it.

If that were the case, there would be no need for the Godsbane Organization to make an enemy of the Norwood Family.

They could have just kept hiding and experimenting without any fear of being detected.

But they didn’t.

"I’ve finished reading it."

Samuel Dalton said as he closed the diary.

"Are there clues to the new base of the Godsbane Organization in it?"

Sterling Norwood asked in a calm voice.

Since the Godsbane Organization abandoned their base on this island, they must be looking for a new one.

Just as Samuel Dalton was about to shake his head and say no, Selena suddenly spoke up.

"No, there must be."

Samuel Dalton was taken aback.

Then Selena continued, "If it’s just because of what we know now, it’s not enough for the Godsbane Organization to chase so relentlessly. So, there must be something else hidden in the diary."

Samuel Dalton thought carefully and nodded slightly.

"It’s just right, I’m coming back in a few days, and I’ll bring the diary back to show Sister Kensington when I do."

Selena was a bit surprised. "You’re going back home?"

Samuel Dalton had a slight smile on the corner of his lips. "Yes, because of the alliance between the Blanchett Family and the Dalton Family, the old man has been urging me to return."

Selena raised an eyebrow.

No wonder, it was the old man’s urging.

"Very well, you’ll get to see a farce."

Samuel Dalton was stunned for a second before his eyes curved into a smile. "I’m looking forward to it."

Sterling Norwood, who was by the side, coughed softly and directly hung up the video call with Samuel Dalton.

"..."

Selena gave him a long look.

Sterling Norwood answered her matter-of-factly, "He talks too much."

"..."

Alright.

Two days later, Timothy Jennings and Spencer Norwood returned from Mount Nimbus.

They brought back a bundle of herbs they’d never seen before.

These herbs looked freshly picked, with very bright colors.

After bringing back these herbs, Grandma Jennings returned to stay at the estate again.

Timothy Jennings and Miles Goodman would occasionally visit.

In the following days, Selena spent her time in various medicinal baths and decoctions.

The herbs neutralized the formidable Qiongqi bloodline in Sterling Norwood, making it extremely mild.

And with the aid of Grandma Jennings’ Heavenly Master Power, once Selena drank it, she felt the Heavenly Master Power that had been partially devoured inside her become active again.

Flowing through her entire body.

After two or three days of recovery, her complexion gradually returned to its rosy state.

If it weren’t for her pregnant belly, it would indeed be hard to tell if she were really expecting.

And so, the time gradually approached the marriage alliance between the Dalton Family and the Blanchett Family.

Because of the alliance between these two great families, many high-class socialites were invited.

Of course, Selena and Sterling Norwood were among them.

On the day of the engagement dinner.

Annelise Mayfield and Roxanne Sutton had already arrived at The Northwood Estate.

Selena glanced at Roxanne Sutton.

Perhaps she had waited too long, so today she seemed indescribably excited.

She appeared eager to witness Catherine Blanchett’s disgrace.

"Annelise Mayfield, follow me later."

Selena said lazily.

After saying this, she looked at Roxanne Sutton. "You stay outside for now. Appear when Annelise sends you a message."

Roxanne Sutton nodded slightly. "I understand."

Once everything was arranged, Sterling Norwood came out of the estate.

"Ready?"

He approached Selena and asked softly.

Selena smiled and nodded at him. "Ready."

Then, Sterling Norwood drove her to the venue.

The driver was Spencer Norwood.

Watching the couple sit in the back seat, Annelise Mayfield quietly took the passenger seat.

Roxanne Sutton sat in the car behind them.

Once everyone was on board, Spencer Norwood started the car and left the estate.

The Blanchett and Dalton Family’s engagement dinner was exceptionally grand.

Though it wasn’t held at a place like Aethelgard’s Peak, the location they chose was quite prestigious.

The hotel lobby entrance was carpeted red.

The comings and goings of luxurious cars were constant.

Those stepping out of the luxury vehicles were the high society matrons or young master gentlemen of Aethelgard’s elite.

When Selena and Sterling Norwood arrived, those originally walking the red carpet instinctively turned their heads.

The Norwood Family was The Empire’s foremost family.

With both the family head and the lady attending the engagement dinner of the Blanchetts and the Daltons, it really saved face for these families.

Seeing Selena’s slightly rounded belly, they dared not neglect them.

They instinctively stepped aside, making way for Sterling Norwood and Selena.

Sterling Norwood held Selena by the waist and walked into the hotel.

Annelise Mayfield and Spencer Norwood followed behind them.

Annelise Mayfield was attending this kind of dinner for the first time, her heart filled with curiosity as she watched the extravagant guests.

Yet before she could observe longer, she heard Sterling Norwood’s warning words from above her head. "Look around again and risk being thrown out."

"..."

Annelise Mayfield retracted her curious gaze sheepishly.

She seemed to give Spencer Norwood a wronged look, muttering, "Now that I’m with Sister Kensington, they wouldn’t dare throw me out."

Although simple-minded, Annelise had a clear understanding of the situation.

As long as she stayed with Selena, who dared to mess with her?

Spencer Norwood pulled a slight arc at the corner of his mouth, wearing a smile that carried a hint of mockery. "You do know quite a lot."
