Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 713: Why Don’t You Just Have a Fight

The boy’s voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of laziness.

Especially when he uttered these words, his gaze carried a glimmer of tenderness.

It was irresistible, making people want to drown in it.

Yet behind this tenderness lay the icy sarcasm of a devil.

All of this was hidden behind his gentle exterior, making it impossible to discern just how evil the soul beneath his harmless facade truly was.

"???

The socialite’s mind instinctively flashed three question marks.

The first reaction was, what on earth?!

Where did Samuel Dalton get a sister?

Moreover, Samuel Dalton is already 20 years old; early romance is long behind him!

It was then the socialite realized that Samuel Dalton had found an excuse to brush her off.

But this excuse was too half-hearted!

The socialite felt a bit displeased, even a little resentful towards Samuel Dalton.

In her eyes, there was no denying Samuel Dalton’s looks, but he was ultimately just the third son of the Dalton Family, famous but powerless.

The fact that she took a liking to him should be considered his fortune.

And yet he gave her no face at all, not even bothering to come up with a sincere reason for rejection.

With many other debutantes watching, and being a person who valued her reputation,

the socialite’s face naturally fell when Samuel Dalton spoke like that.

Thus, the socialite paused, ready to retort and save face, but when she looked up towards Samuel Dalton, she froze in place.

Samuel Dalton lifted the corners of his lips into a smile, appearing to be in high spirits.

Yet, behind the tenderness in his eyes, the socialite clearly saw a deep warning and fierceness.

And, as Samuel Dalton looked at her, his gaze carried a faint glimmer of murderous intent.

Just that bit alone made the socialite feel an inexplicable chill...

At that moment, the socialite clearly understood that Samuel Dalton was far from what he appeared to be on the surface.

At the very least, he hid it well.

"Don’t block the way..."

The boy spoke softly, his voice as if touched by an angel’s kiss.

But in the eyes of the socialite, it sounded like the devil’s insidious whisper.

Little by little, luring the unsuspecting into an endless abyss...

The socialite’s hair stood on end, and she stood there dumbfounded, only able to watch as Samuel Dalton nonchalantly walked past her.

The socialite dared not breathe a word.

Only after Samuel Dalton left did the socialite begin to breathe heavily.

When Samuel Dalton passed by her, she felt as though an overpowering aura swept over her.

To possess such a terrifying presence, he must be someone accustomed to great authority...

So, what other identity does Samuel Dalton hide?!

The socialite found herself lost in thought.

Due to the socialite’s earlier odd behavior, several other debutantes gathered around, wanting to ask what Samuel Dalton had said to her.

After all, Samuel Dalton had spoken very softly, and with others afraid to get too close, only the socialite had heard Samuel Dalton’s final words.

The socialite wouldn’t dare reveal the truth to the others, as she hadn’t forgotten Samuel Dalton’s warning before he left.

So the socialite made up an excuse to brush them off.

After leaving, Samuel Dalton walked with a cheerful stride towards Selena Kensington.

"Sister."

He first called out obediently.

Then his expression turned strange as he glanced over Felicity Dalton and Hugh Kensington.

"Aunt."

When facing Felicity Dalton, Samuel Dalton’s demeanor became noticeably cooler.

Although Felicity was his aunt, due to her work and personal reasons, she rarely stayed at the Dalton Family’s main residence.

Similarly, Samuel Dalton seldom returned there, so their encounters were few and interactions minimal.

Fortunately, Felicity was of a cold nature, not keen on socializing. Thus, Samuel Dalton’s attitude did not affect her emotionally.

She gave a slight nod to Samuel Dalton.

After greeting Felicity, Samuel Dalton cast a glance at Hugh Kensington, paused, tugged at the corner of his mouth but said nothing.

Hugh noticed Samuel Dalton’s expression, slightly shrugged.

Selena Kensington looked at both Hugh and Samuel Dalton, noting their subtly confrontational demeanor.

Amused, she remarked, "You two seem like you can’t stand each other. Why not just have a fight?"

Hearing Selena speak, Hugh glanced at her, his tone filled with helplessness and grievance, "Sis, sometimes I wonder if I’m adopted..."

Selena was puzzled, "What?!"

Why did it suddenly turn to whether he was adopted or not?

Hugh’s mouth twitched slightly, but seeing Selena’s puzzled expression, he could only explain, "Remember, back in college military training, Samuel could best all the instructors in a one-on-one. How can I, with my mediocre skills, stand a chance..."

From a young age, Hugh and Selena were taught self-defense by the Kensington couple, but while Selena stopped, Hugh continued his training.

However, his training was informal, and he seldom had practical opportunities.

Therefore, compared to the rigorously trained military instructors, he was indeed fundamentally different.

What surprised Hugh was how his seemingly ’frail’, ’gentle and harmless’ roommate fought with such ruthlessness, speed, precision!

Even Hugh couldn’t help but whistle in admiration when he saw Samuel in action.

So Selena’s suggestion that Hugh fight Samuel was clearly setting Hugh up for failure.

"..."

Selena, unaware of this, fell silent.

Though she didn’t know Samuel had been that formidable, he had become the Young Master of the Colombo Family, leading them to dominate forces outside the Southern Domain.

He was even known abroad as ’The Gray King’.

It was clear that someone like Samuel couldn’t be ordinary.

"Ahem."

Selena coughed lightly, awkwardly.

"I didn’t consider that. Can you be patient?"

Selena spoke earnestly to Hugh.

Hugh’s mouth twitched slightly, his tone even more plaintive, "So, you’ve got a new brother and forgotten the old one..."

"...Shut up."

Selena said, face cold again.

"Alright."

Hugh also donned a cold face, though only for a second before reverting to normal.

He leaned in, "Sis, what exactly are you planning lately?"

Selena gave him a surprised look, "You know?"

She remembered she hadn’t disclosed anything to Hugh.

Sterling Norwood wouldn’t have told him either.

So, how did Hugh find out?

"Annelise Mayfield’s been taking a lot of leave, so I figured you must have something big going on."

Hugh shrugged, not minding revealing this information.
