Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 739: You Are the One We Chose

Listening to Janine Linton’s words, Selena Kensington’s mind was stirred.

The thoughts in her head began to ponder along with Janine Linton’s statement.

Right, how did that so-called most outstanding descendant of the Luminar Clan in a century die?

Logically, since he was the Luminar Clan’s most outstanding offspring, he would naturally be heavily protected by his clan.

Moreover, the Luminar Clan has always been low-key and reclusive, unlikely to get involved in disputes.

So, what exactly caused that descendant’s death?

Lark Mayfield only mentioned to attend that descendant’s funeral with her parents back then, but never mentioned the cause of death.

Selena Kensington had a vague intuition that a huge secret was hidden here.

And this secret was related to Sterling Norwood.

Janine Linton continued speaking, "The Luminar Clan’s descendant perished due to a loss of control over his abilities, resulting in self-destruction. Moreover, he killed many people before dying."

Selena Kensington didn’t know if it was an illusion, but when Janine Linton spoke further, there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

But Selena Kensington had no time to delve into the peculiar tone at the end because her mind was captivated by Janine Linton’s previous words.

"What do you mean? Loss of control?"

Selena Kensington frowned tightly.

She wasn’t unfamiliar with these words.

Because Sterling Norwood previously also showed signs of losing control.

Once, even Selena Kensington almost couldn’t control it.

But since Selena Kensington became pregnant, apart from that divine awakening, Sterling Norwood had no signs of losing control.

His condition remained stable.

Yet, listening to Janine Linton’s words, Selena Kensington felt that Sterling Norwood’s apparent stability during this period was like the calm before a storm.

Selena Kensington didn’t dare take the matters concerning Sterling Norwood lightly.

Janine Linton’s lips curled into a subtle smile.

"Their bloodline talents are immensely strong, and having acquired such powerful abilities, they naturally have to endure equal or even more intense backlash. That Luminar Clan member got bloodline abilities too powerful, which he himself couldn’t bear, hence lost control."

Janine Linton spoke slowly, observing the expression on Selena Kensington’s face after each sentence.

Seeing Selena Kensington frown deeply because of her words, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Janine Linton’s eyes.

She continued speaking.

"According to our research, Sterling Norwood’s bloodline talent is far stronger than that Luminar Clan’s member. Qiongqi, being a combination of divinity, humanity, and bestiality as The Beast Lord, I think its backlash will be more terrifying."

"Previously, after losing control, that Luminar member mistakenly killed many, causing Luminar Clan to lose numerous members, ultimately leading them to kill the one who lost control out of desperation. If Sterling Norwood loses control..."

Janine Linton didn’t finish her sentence, but the implication in previous words was obvious.

If Sterling Norwood loses control, how would they stop him?

And if Sterling Norwood loses control, the one most at risk would naturally be Selena Kensington, the closest to him.

Janine Linton’s words were finished, but Selena Kensington hadn’t responded.

She sat silently on the sofa, lost in her thoughts.

After a while, she finally lifted her head.

"Do you think this will lead me to follow you? And how can I be sure that what you said is true?"

Though Selena Kensington had some considerations internally, she wouldn’t show any of it in front of Janine Linton and others.

Janine Linton glanced at Cole Vaughn, seeing no other reaction from him, she continued speaking.

"Naturally, we don’t just have this information. The Godsbane Organization has been researching the abilities of Fell Bloodline and its inherent drawbacks for a long time, and we’ve achieved certain results. I believe if Miss Kensington returns with us, she won’t be disappointed."

"Moreover, the truth of what I just said, Miss Kensington can judge for herself."

Listening to Janine Linton’s words, Selena Kensington’s lips curled into a slight, mocking smile, "Your so-called research on Fell Bloodline’s ability just means applying their powers to yourselves."

Janine Linton spoke so grandiosely, yet in the end, their research results were used for themselves.

Moreover, their abilities were gained by stepping over the corpses of descendants of Fell Bloodline.

Janine Linton kept on with a smiling face, showing no anger or any emotion at Selena Kensington’s words.

Cole Vaughn was even less likely to react.

"Miss Kensington may not truly understand the Godsbane Organization, so it’s too early to conclude," Janine Linton stated.

Selena Kensington indeed harbored prejudice against the Godsbane Organization from the beginning, but as she delved deeper, her initial thoughts have changed somewhat.

No matter what, she still wouldn’t completely change her view of the Godsbane Organization.

No matter their purpose in forming the Godsbane Organization, or why those people joined, their actions consistently violated Selena Kensington’s principles.

Having said that, Janine Linton remained silent.

Cole Vaughn glanced at the clock hanging in Lynn Rhodes’s office, then stood up.

As Cole Vaughn stood up, Selena Kensington’s eyes turned to him.

Under Selena Kensington’s gaze, Cole Vaughn’s face showed no other reaction.

"If you change your mind, you can find me anytime."

Selena Kensington did not respond.

Nor did Cole Vaughn expect an answer, glancing at Janine Linton before preparing to leave Lynn Rhodes’s office.

Janine Linton walked out from behind Lynn Rhodes, following Cole Vaughn.

Seeing the two prepare to leave.

Selena Kensington glanced at Lynn Rhodes, whose expression was still dazed, and sighed slightly, "What will happen to her?"

Janine Linton turned her head to glance at Lynn Rhodes, smiling slightly, "Miss Kensington, don’t worry, she’ll be back to normal in two minutes."

Hearing Janine Linton’s assurance, Selena Kensington remained silent.

Cole Vaughn and Janine Linton lifted their feet and stepped out of the office.

As Cole Vaughn approached the office door, Selena Kensington suddenly called out to him, "Cole Vaughn."

Cole Vaughn’s steps, about to cross the office door, halted.

Behind him, Janine Linton caught the hint, lowered her eyes, and first walked out.

Once Janine Linton stepped out, Cole Vaughn turned to face Selena Kensington.

Selena Kensington looked at him, speaking word by word, "When did you join the Godsbane Organization?"

Cole Vaughn lowered his eyes, concealing his expression.
