Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 34: Handling 1

Although he appeared as an overzealous admirer before Selena Kensington, when actually confronting her, he couldn’t help but become reserved. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Especially now, with Sterling Norwood in such an unstable state.

Finn Norwood stood to the side, like a child who had done something wrong, obedient and restrained.

When Selena Kensington saw Sterling Norwood enter, she secretly thought something was wrong, and was even more worried upon sensing his unstable aura.

It had been ages since she felt such a volatile energy from Sterling Norwood...

Ignoring everything else, Selena Kensington’s foremost concern now was Sterling Norwood.

She stepped forward and took Sterling Norwood away. "We’ll leave first." She bid Manager Sharp goodbye.

Manager Sharp was eager for Selena Kensington to take away Sterling Norwood, this ticking time bomb, and immediately nodded his head.

Sterling Norwood disliked being touched by outsiders but he would never refuse Selena Kensington.

Though filled with dark and violent thoughts now, Sterling Norwood still followed Selena Kensington, unwilling to harm her.

Selena Kensington led Sterling Norwood to the corridor outside, where few people passed by. She glanced around and pushed Sterling Norwood against the wall.

She was about a head shorter than Sterling Norwood and could only look up at him with difficulty now.

Sterling Norwood remained silent, his gaze deep and obscure, as if brewing a storm.

Anyone passing by could clearly sense the man’s inexorable murderous intent.

"I’m sorry, I..." Selena Kensington first attempted to apologize, as she was at fault first.

However, before she finished, the man suddenly lowered his head and kissed her.

"..." Selena Kensington remained silent, enduring the man’s kiss that carried a touch of harshness due to his inner rage.

After a while, Sterling Norwood slowly lifted his head.

"Wait here for me, hmm?" He stroked Selena Kensington’s face with his fingertip, his voice gentle yet unfathomable in tone.

Selena Kensington knew it was best to comply with him now, nodding obediently, "Come back soon." She resembled a wife awaiting her husband’s return from a journey.

Sterling Norwood was pleased by her gesture, nodding indulgently, "Alright."

With that, he turned and went back inside.

Inside the bar, the drunken man was brought into the private room. When Sterling Norwood entered, besides the drunkard lying on the floor, there were also Manager Sharp and Finn Norwood.

"Family Head."

The two called out in greeting to Sterling Norwood.

The Norwood Family rules were strict; no matter the seniority, rules must be adhered to upon meeting the Family Head.

Sterling Norwood’s gaze was dark and deep, looking at the man lying on the ground as if looking at a corpse.

"Wake him up."

"Yes," Manager Sharp responded respectfully. Immediately, two people came in from outside the room. It was unclear what they made the drunken man drink.

The man lying on the ground writhed and convulsed, crying out painfully.

"Ah... hurts... hurts so much!!!"

After completing this task, the two men respectfully stepped aside.

Manager Sharp’s expression remained unchanged, smiling as he spoke to Sterling Norwood, "Family Head, this is the newly developed drug, and its effect is several times better than the previous ones."

Sterling Norwood said nothing, half of his body sunk into the sofa, the dim light concealing half of his face, his azure eyes reflecting a chilling and terrifying light, sending shivers down one’s spine.

After a while, the man lying on the ground suddenly stopped convulsing and slowly woke up.

"Manager Sharp... why are you here..." The man was still somewhat surprised, but turning his head, he realized that, besides him and the figure shrouded in darkness, everyone else in the room was from the Norwood Family.

The man’s demeanor shifted from initial confusion to panic now.

"Manager Sharp, what’s going on..." His voice gradually grew smaller, with the incidents that occurred while he was drunk slowly coming back to him.
