Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 769: Selena Kensington’s Final Choice

"In the end, you still chose him, so I lost the bet."

Cole Vaughn said, raising his head to glance at a small black spot faintly visible in the distant sky.

"It seems like he’s determined to capture me this time... but it’s okay, I won’t die before you make your move."

After speaking, Cole Vaughn lifted his chin slightly.

He cast a provocative glance toward Selena Kensington behind him.

Selena didn’t dare to turn around; she felt as if she were standing in an ice cellar, chilled to the core.

She understood why Cole Vaughn had brought her here this time.

If they could take her, it would suit their plans perfectly.

But if she didn’t want to go, it would also expose her long-standing connection with them.

Especially given the current situation.

Sterling Norwood had the area completely surrounded, blocking Cole Vaughn and his group.

Yet under these circumstances, she stood directly before Cole Vaughn, conversing with him.

Even though Selena believed that Sterling would understand the reasons behind this, she still feared the terrible thoughts that might arise within him.

At that time, she wouldn’t be able to guarantee that she’d be able to calm him.

For instance, at this moment, Selena didn’t dare to turn around to see Sterling’s expression.

As Cole Vaughn finished speaking, the Norwood Family’s hidden guard and The Celestial Division had already surrounded the entire laboratory area.

"We need to leave now; the military aircraft are approaching."

Felicity Dalton whispered.

At this point, the Linton siblings had already brought the helicopter into the air, waiting for Felicity Dalton and Cole Vaughn to board and leave.

They could leave now, but once the military aircraft arrived, their escape would become much more difficult.

Sterling Norwood observed Selena Kensington standing with Cole Vaughn, especially noticing Cole’s provocative gaze directed at him, and his brow furrowed.

Particularly because his wife was unwilling to turn around to face him.

Inside, Sterling felt a sudden surge of irritation and anxiety.

His entire presence exuded a forbidding aura, heavy with oppression.

Even the Norwood Family’s hidden guards nearby found his intense pressure terrifying and instinctively took a few steps back.

Especially since they saw their Lady suddenly appear at the front, even more afraid to make any sound.

They didn’t want to court death.

"Do you really think you can leave?"

Sterling Norwood sneered as he watched Cole Vaughn preparing to leave.

But Cole Vaughn ignored him, lowering his gaze to look at Selena Kensington.

"I’ll be waiting for you to kill me."

Selena’s eyes were cold and unwavering, ignoring his comment.

Cole Vaughn lingered no longer, giving a slight nod to Felicity Dalton.

The two started to withdraw in the direction of the helicopter.

As they began to withdraw, the Norwood Family’s hidden guards surrounding the laboratory moved into action.

Many were equipped with high-end gear but hesitated to make any substantial moves for fear of injuring Selena.

Just as they were about to completely encircle the helicopter, a vast expanse of golden light erupted from Selena Kensington’s body.

The golden light spread from her as the center, like an invisible barrier, scattering the closest Norwood guards.

"!!!"

The Norwood guards did not expect Selena to suddenly make a move, each of them staring at her in shock.

More surprising than her intervention was the realization that their Lady possessed such capabilities.

At the moment Selena struck, Sterling’s expression turned terrifyingly grim.

Selena didn’t pay any attention to the astonished looks from the nearby guards.

Her heart remained extraordinarily calm.

Her expression showed no trace of emotional fluctuation, coldly rational to an alarming degree.

She raised her hand, gathering countless strands of golden light at her fingertips, sketching a complex talisman in mid-air.

"Go."

She lifted her gaze slightly, uttering the word coldly.

The talisman she crafted shot abruptly toward Felicity Dalton.

Felicity instinctively tried to dodge, but the talisman was faster, embedding itself within her body.

Immediately, her body stiffened.

She couldn’t control herself anymore.

Seeing Felicity frozen in place, Selena extended her palm, making a pulling motion downward.

When the others didn’t understand her action, Felicity, who had just stepped onto the ladder, suddenly appeared to be forcefully pulled down.

Seeing Felicity being drawn back, Selena’s fingers curled slightly.

Felicity was compelled to walk in her direction.

Selena’s demeanor remained calm and composed.

After completing the task, she lifted her gaze to look at Cole Vaughn, who had boarded the helicopter.

She raised her voice, saying, "You better stay alive until I personally kill you."

Cole Vaughn was momentarily dazed, then a wild glint flashed in his eyes.

As if something delighted him.

After setting everything in motion, Selena turned around and left.

With a slight wave of her hand, Felicity Dalton was forced to follow her.

At that moment, the helicopter took off.

Sterling Norwood, seeing this, immediately instructed the hidden guard beside him, "Have Spencer and the others pursue them directly without delay."

The military aircraft in the air were led by Spencer Norwood.

"Yes, Family Head!"

The hidden guard obeyed and departed.

After that guard left, there was no one else beside Sterling.

As he watched Selena approaching, he instinctively reached out his hand.

But Selena passed by him calmly.

"..."

Sterling’s outstretched hand lingered in the air.

He turned slightly, observing Selena’s silent silhouette, and let out a soft sigh.

He admitted he was indeed despicable.

Throughout this period, he had been subtly revealing his plans concerning The Godsbane Organization to Selena.

He wanted to test her to see whom she would ultimately choose.

Sterling would never forget his first confrontation with Cole Vaughn when Cole remarked, "You’re just a vile usurper, seizing the opportunity through those ties of fate."

He acknowledged that Cole’s words haunted him.

Because, truly, it was like that.

If it weren’t for the curse and the cycles of fate from past lives.

Selena wouldn’t have fallen for him.

From that moment, uneasiness grew within him.

So, this time, it led him to commit such underhanded acts.

He forced his wife to make an ultimate choice.

He would admit he was wrong, yet he would not regret doing it.

If given the chance, he’d do it again.

In his blood coursed the arrogance, ferocity, and possessive dominance of The Beast Lord Voracis.

He needed absolute certainty that his wife, in mind and soul, was on his side.

Thus, Selina’s anger was not without reason.

Sterling sighed slightly, instructing the hidden guard to knock Felicity out and place her in another vehicle.

As for himself, he headed to the car where Selena sat, pondering how to earn her forgiveness.
