Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 452: Bloodline Awakening

"...Thank you, Timothy."

Selena Kensington lightly pressed her lips together as she spoke.

If Timothy Jennings hadn’t confided in her today, she might have continued living in ignorance forever.

No wonder Sterling Norwood always avoided talking about these matters and kept her waiting.

As it turned out, they were waiting for Timothy Jennings to tell her himself.

Timothy Jennings shook his head slightly, "We’ve let you down, keeping it from you all this time."

Selena Kensington smiled a little, "No, I’m actually very happy now."

Selena was genuinely happy, a joy that sprung from the heart.

Even though knowing the truth brought a certain heaviness, it couldn’t outweigh the happiness from her bond with Sterling Norwood.

Selena never considered her love to be normal.

She felt possessive of Sterling Norwood and wished he wouldn’t get involved with other women.

Even now, the deep bond she shared with Sterling brought her joy.

She was selfish; she wanted to monopolize his affection and indulgence.

Whenever she saw Sterling Norwood’s eyes filled with nothing but herself, a secret and indescribable joy would arise within her.

He was The Beast Lord, once the ruler of the heavens and earth during the Ancient Times, a divine being.

Yet, he willingly turned his own curse for her.

Just like Sterling Norwood had once said, ’I surrender to you.’

He was truly surrendering to her.

Selena Kensington smiled again but felt the scene in front of her was somewhat shaky.

She slightly shook her head, only to find Timothy Jennings starting to blur, along with the surroundings becoming indistinct.

Timothy Jennings noticed the unusualness in her and anxiously asked, "Selie, what’s wrong?"

Selena Kensington staggered a few steps, and Timothy quickly stepped forward to support her, preventing her from falling.

"I... I feel so hot in my lower abdomen, and everything around me is spinning..."

Upon hearing her words, Timothy Jennings hurriedly led her to the stone bed that had just risen.

"Quick, sit cross-legged here."

Following Timothy Jennings’ instructions, Selena Kensington sat cross-legged on the stone bed.

As soon as she was seated, Selena Kensington felt a thin, cold sensation from the bed seep into her body.

"What is this...?"

Selena Kensington was a bit astonished.

Timothy Jennings explained to her, "This was once a place where Heavenly Masters cultivated. Because the Heavenly Master Power in the Dantian is scorching, it usually requires coolness to assist and prevent Qi deviation."

"Although this can’t compare to the past, given the current thinness in Spiritual Power, it’s enough to handle your current situation."

Selena Kensington understood Timothy’s explanation and nodded.

Then Timothy Jennings continued, "You’ve just awakened the Heavenly Master Bloodline, and over twenty years of bloodline power has been accumulating inside you, now erupting, which is why you felt that way."

"Try to disperse your bloodline within you following my words."

"Close your eyes, imagine roaming through your limbs and bones, eventually gathering in the Dantian."

Selena Kensington, being highly insightful, understood Timothy Jennings’ instructions right away.

She closed her eyes and began to guide the power of her bloodline within her.

Timothy Jennings watched her for ten minutes, and seeing she didn’t experience any discomfort, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he went to the stone wall to continue studying ancient texts.

Selena Kensington and Timothy Jennings stayed within The Celestial Vein.

Timothy Jennings chose not to disturb Selena Kensington and didn’t forcefully wake her up, while Selena indulged in the warm sensation, losing track of time.

And so, one day passed.

The next day, Hope Norwood and Lea Dutton knocked on Selena’s door early in the morning.

There was no response.

"Looks like we really have to head to Mount Nimbus."

Hope Norwood and Lea Dutton exchanged a glance and walked toward the elevator together.

Soon, they arrived at Mount Nimbus.

Compared to how Selena found The Sutton Family by instinct, Hope Norwood and Lea Dutton seemed to be searching blindly.

"The Sutton Family’s location can’t possibly appear in these developed tourist spots. Hope, let’s go to the undeveloped places!"

Lea Dutton was about to lead Hope Norwood elsewhere when she noticed Hope Norwood taking out her phone.

"I’ll notify the Family Head first."

Once deep into Mount Nimbus, they might not have any signal.

Hope Norwood sensed the complexity of the situation and immediately notified Sterling Norwood.

"Family Head, I have something to report."

Sterling Norwood’s voice carried a hint of fatigue but still held a heavy sense of authority, "Speak."

Hope Norwood braved the pressure in his words and said, "Yesterday Madam entered Mount Nimbus seeking The Sutton Family, and she has yet to return..."

As Hope Norwood finished speaking, she felt Sterling Norwood’s breathing grow heavier.

Upon hearing Hope Norwood’s words, Sterling Norwood almost lost control of his own strength.

"I understand."

Sterling Norwood said, ending the call.

"Go to Stonefall."

He then issued a command.

His eyes sharp and lethal, the overwhelming presence around him intimidated all those nearby.

After hanging up, Hope Norwood and Lea Dutton headed deep into Mount Nimbus.

They walked for a long time without finding any trace of The Sutton Family.

They continued for another while.

"Where on earth is The Sutton Family located?!!"

Lea Dutton was getting a bit agitated.

The Sutton Family’s location was truly difficult to find.

Much of Mount Nimbus was shrouded in mist, and the dense surrounding trees made it hard to discern what lay hidden beneath them.

Thus, despite searching for so long, they still came up empty-handed.

No wonder The Sutton Family could peacefully reside here in Mount Nimbus. With the geographical cover, it was challenging for outsiders to find them.

Let alone if The Sutton Family had set any traps to prevent outsiders from discovering them.

"This isn’t the way."

Hope Norwood frowned slightly.

Just when the two were at their wit’s end, Sarah Sutton’s voice came from behind them.

"You’ve already entered forbidden territory, please leave immediately."

Lea Dutton and Hope Norwood quickly turned around.

"Aren’t you the person who delivered meals yesterday at noon?"

Lea Dutton had some impression of her and even deliberately asked for her name.

Sarah Sutton... a member of The Sutton Family?

"Are you from The Sutton Family?"

Lea Dutton’s eyes widened abruptly.

Sarah Sutton neither confirmed nor denied Lea Dutton’s inquiry.

Hope Norwood scrutinized the surroundings.

"Since this is forbidden ground, then the location of The Sutton Family cannot be far..."

Sarah Sutton frowned slightly, "Please leave at once, or don’t blame me for being impolite!"

The intent to expel them was clearly evident in her words.

For a moment, Hope Norwood felt provoked by Sarah Sutton’s glare and, along with the guilt over not finding Selena, was already brewing inside her.

Moreover, having someone blocking her path just magnified Hope Norwood’s desire to act.

"Do you want to fight?"

Hope Norwood took a step forward.

Sarah Sutton quickly assumed a defensive stance.
