Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 698: Scheming Against Sidney Dalton

This is murder, and in The Empire, severe cases might even be sentenced to death.

Even though Sidney Dalton was confident at the time that it would be impossible to trace back to him.

But as long as there are determined people in this world, then it’s impossible for nothing to be traced.

"So, you also know the location where Sidney Dalton placed the safe."

Selena Kensington spoke indifferently.

Roxanne Sutton suddenly looked at her in shock, then seemed to understand.

"Did you find that assistant?"

Selena Kensington shrugged slightly, "It was the assistant who found us, seeking our protection. In return, he told us some things."

After all, if it hadn’t been for Sidney Dalton’s suspicion and paranoia at the time, his longtime loyal subordinate wouldn’t have been disheartened.

"Yes, I do indeed know where the safe is."

Roxanne Sutton didn’t hide anything, telling it all.

"But most of the subsequent affairs were carried out without my knowledge. If you want to get the safe, I can only tell you the approximate location."

"Moreover, as far as I know, that place is set up with many security measures by Sidney Dalton, with security levels ranking among the top in The Empire. Only he knows the password verification for the safe."

What Roxanne Sutton said was all truth.

Later on, Sidney Dalton appeared not to change much in his attitude toward her.

But gradually stopped letting Roxanne Sutton participate in many affairs.

At the time, she thought it might be because Sidney Dalton had too much going on, and these were not convenient for her to know.

Besides, Sidney Dalton had always treated her well.

So Roxanne Sutton didn’t delve deep into it.

But now, thinking back, it seems that Sidney Dalton wanted to exclude her from his circle.

After all, today’s Sidney Dalton trusts only himself.

Even loyal subordinates can be easily doubted, so how could someone like him say too much to her, his secret lover?

Selena Kensington pondered a bit.

If they want to forcibly get the safe, it’s not impossible.

But the problem lies in how they would open it after getting it.

Selena Kensington knew that safes containing important secrets usually have rigorous and strict password verification.

Moreover, if there are multiple errors, the safe will be completely locked.

Selena Kensington’s gaze shifted slightly, then saw Annelise Mayfield, who was bored and eating nuts placed on the table.

Seeing Selena Kensington glance her way, Annelise Mayfield blinked innocently.

Looking into her eyes, Selena Kensington suddenly had an idea.

She remembered that Annelise Mayfield seemed to have used her eye abilities on Catherine Blanchett a few days ago, causing Catherine to lose her sanity suddenly in public, disregarding her image.

Then, could Annelise Mayfield make Sidney Dalton willingly take out the safe...

If they could get the safe effortlessly like that, who would be willing to choose the more energy-consuming method?

"Annelise, does your eye ability work on Sidney Dalton?"

Selena Kensington asked.

For a moment, Roxanne Sutton also looked toward Annelise Mayfield.

Annelise Mayfield, who was eating nuts, was startled by Selena Kensington’s question and quickly put the nuts down.

She pouted, "Him...I can’t, I haven’t reached that level yet."

"Oh?"

Selena Kensington showed some interest.

"Tell me more."

Annelise Mayfield explained, "The reason I could control Catherine Blanchett the other day was because I found her loopholes, and coupled with her unstable mental state, Roxanne dropping those bombshells later made her inner thoughts instantly occupied by those events, lowering her psychological defenses, which allowed me to control her easily."

In the end, it was Catherine Blanchett’s unstable nature.

That allowed Annelise Mayfield to easily invade her consciousness.

"But Sidney Dalton is different."

Annelise Mayfield continued, "He hides his thoughts deeply, and his psychological defenses are well built. He rarely shows his inner thoughts, making someone like him highly vigilant."

Annelise shrugged after finishing her sentence, "I’m afraid my ability wouldn’t have much effect on him, I might confuse him a little, but it wouldn’t be enough to make him obedient."

Roxanne Sutton looked at her speechlessly, "So have you made no progress over the years?"

"..."

Annelise Mayfield shrank her shoulders being caught off guard.

Like covering her ears to steal a bell, she picked up a nut and looked away.

"...Wasting your talent."

Hearing Roxanne Sutton’s reprimand, Annelise Mayfield pouted, "I’ll definitely cultivate properly in the future!"

Annelise Mayfield’s talent in the Mayfield Family is second only to Lark Mayfield.

And since her parents died when she was young, the Mayfield family has always indulged her.

Lark Mayfield even placed her close to him, just so he could take care of her a bit.

Added to the fact that Annelise Mayfield had always lived in Westport.

In Westport, the Mayfield family is like a deity to the people.

They receive the respect and admiration of the people of Westport.

Thus, Annelise Mayfield thrives in Westport.

No one dares to offend her, nor does anyone dare to show her disrespect.

In such a comfortable environment, Annelise Mayfield maintains a simple mindset.

But at the same time, her sense of crisis is too weak.

This is why she has always been lazy and loose in cultivation.

Seeing Annelise Mayfield unable to control Sidney Dalton, Selena Kensington looked disappointed.

Annelise Mayfield saw Selena Kensington suddenly fall silent, her eyes shifted, and she immediately said, "Although I can’t, Auntie can!"

"Auntie is amazing! No one can escape her gaze’s assault!"

Thinking of Lark Mayfield, Annelise Mayfield became excited and said to Selena Kensington.

Listening to Annelise Mayfield, Selena Kensington raised an eyebrow.

She forgot that Lark Mayfield was still in Aethelgard.

However... she might be busy with Miles Goodman in a romantic relationship, and likely wouldn’t pay attention to her.

Selena Kensington recalled a time when Miles Goodman and Grandma Jennings came to see her, and Lark Mayfield followed too.

The way she clung to Miles Goodman was like a woman caught in a whirl of love.

When Selena Kensington saw Lark Mayfield’s look back then, she was silent for a long time.

Because it’s hard to reconcile the current Lark Mayfield with the cold and proud person full of dignity she once was.

Yet, when thinking of the Sidney Dalton affair, Selena Kensington sighed softly.

"I’ll give it a try."

Lark Mayfield staying in Aethelgard is likely because of Miles Goodman.

Since this matter isn’t related to Miles Goodman, Selena Kensington isn’t sure if Lark Mayfield would intervene.

After those words, Selena Kensington turned to Roxanne Sutton.

"Getting Sidney Dalton to meet up shouldn’t be too difficult, right?"

Roxanne Sutton was stunned, thought for a few seconds, then nodded slightly.

"Not difficult."
