Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 500: Go Find A Jing

If it were usual times, Sterling Norwood wouldn’t let her wait too long even if he were busy...

*

At the moment when Selena Kensington called, Spencer Norwood, Sean Norwood, and Dr. Norwood all turned their gaze to the phone in Spencer Norwood’s hand.

Spencer Norwood hesitated for a moment, then picked up the phone.

When he saw the caller’s name, it felt like he was holding a hot potato.

"...A call from my sister-in-law."

Spencer Norwood looked at Sean Norwood and Dr. Norwood, speaking with difficulty.

They intended to keep things from Selena Kensington, never expecting her to call at this moment.

Sean Norwood and Dr. Norwood exchanged a glance, neither saying a word.

In the end, fearing that Selena would speculate more if he didn’t answer, Spencer picked up the call.

"Hello, Sister-in-law."

*

Selena Kensington breathed a sigh of relief when the call connected.

Just as she was about to speak, Spencer Norwood’s voice came through.

She frowned slightly—why was Spencer Norwood answering?

"Spencer? Why is it you?"

Hearing Selena’s puzzled voice, Spencer Norwood’s throat felt dry.

He naturally didn’t dare to tell Selena the truth, so he fabricated another reason.

"Looking for my big brother, Sis-in-law? He’s busy with something."

"If it’s urgent, I’ll let him know when he comes back later."

Selena’s gaze paused slightly, going silent upon hearing Spencer’s words.

Seeing Selena’s silence, Spencer didn’t continue speaking.

After a few seconds, he asked again, "Sister-in-law? Are you still there?"

Selena snapped back, somewhat absent-mindedly asking, "Hmm? Yes, do you know when Sterling will be back?"

Then, she heard Spencer’s voice saying, "Well... I don’t know either."

Given Sterling’s current condition, they didn’t know when he’d recover.

"Understood, thank you."

Selena stopped asking further, responding with a faint smile to Spencer.

"You’re welcome, no need to be so polite."

Afterwards, Selena ended the call.

Once the call ended, the smile on Selena’s face slowly faded.

Her eyes deepened, seemingly pondering something.

No matter how busy Sterling was, he wouldn’t leave his phone anywhere.

Besides, in the training camp, Spencer typically follows Sterling.

So, it’s impossible for Spencer not to hand her call to Sterling.

Spencer was hiding something from her.

He seemed unaware of Sterling’s condition and unwilling to let her know.

However, Sterling went to the training camp—who could harm him there?

Unless... he himself.

In an instant, Selena stood up.

Could it be that Sterling lost control again?!

Because Sterling had been stable all this time without showing signs of losing control, Selena nearly forgot about it.

If it weren’t for Spencer’s unusual behavior just now alerting her, she wouldn’t have remembered the previous loss of control.

And to the extent that even Spencer would be powerless, making Selena unable to imagine the level Sterling has lost control this time.

Without further thought, Selena hurriedly walked out of the main residence.

Yet she seemed to have suddenly thought of something and turned back to go upstairs, then quickly descended again.

*

After hanging up, Spencer immediately arranged another team.

This time, he planned to lead the team himself.

"Spencer, are you going in?!"

Sean looked at Spencer, who was already wearing protective gear, confirming once again.

He had just stepped out of the laboratory, and he brought three sleeping agents.

Spencer nodded.

"Sister-in-law will realize it soon, we can’t keep it from her for long."

Spencer already knew when Selena asked when Sterling would return that Selena was suspicious.

Before long, she might come to the training camp.

Spencer could only use this time to bring Sterling back.

Otherwise, if Selena really went in, Spencer couldn’t protect her from the beastly Sterling.

"What if even you..."

Sean’s expression darkened.

Spencer gazed deeply at Sean, "Brother Sean, it’s fine—I know my limits, just prepare more sleeping agents for me."

When Sterling was in his teens, it took three doses of the sleeping agent to put him to sleep.

Now, Spencer was worried these three might not be effective.

Moreover, Sterling wouldn’t obediently let them give him the sleeping agent.

Sean was on the same page as Spencer, "Got it."

Then, Sean reentered the lab and prepared several more doses of the sleeping agent for Spencer.

He also handed Spencer some other weapons.

"I’m afraid the Beast Repelling Powder won’t work on those beasts now—take this Medicine Gun, it’s non-lethal, just makes them unconscious."

Spencer accepted the Medicine Gun from Sean, "Alright."

Sean patted Spencer’s shoulder, "Prioritize your safety above everything."

"Don’t worry."

Spencer assured him.

Then, waving his hand, he led a team back into the jungle.

Sean and Dr. Norwood exchanged a glance, "Now, it’s time for our task."

Their task was to delay Selena as much as possible.

*

When Selena found the training camp based on her previous memory, she saw the scene inside as if ordinary training was going on.

It seemed no different from usual.

Just as Selena entered, she was met by Hope Norwood coming her way.

"Madam, why are you here?"

Hope’s cold expression showed a hint of surprise.

Selena observed Hope’s expression calmly, "I was bored at the main residence, and since Sterling’s here, I thought I’d come to check things out."

Hope nodded slightly, "The Family Head is busy, so Madam may not be able to see him now."

Selena followed Hope inside, slightly raising an eyebrow upon hearing Hope’s words, "Oh? What’s he busy with?"

Hope shook her head subtly, then pointed to the white-tipped buildings in the training camp.

"Inside those buildings, the Norwood Family nurtures top-notch talent in pharmaceutical technology, researching various agents and techniques."

"We’re not familiar with the environment inside, so I don’t know what the Family Head is busy with either."

Selena nodded slightly.

Hope’s statement wasn’t a lie.

When Selena first came to the training camp, she was drawn to those white-tipped buildings.

Turns out, they nurture technological and pharmaceutical talents for the Norwood Family...

But what kind of research is keeping Sterling so busy?

Selena suddenly recalled that suppressant.

And the faintly bloody smell within it... 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Her gaze sharpened, but her face remained calm.

"Thank you for your hard work, go ahead with your training—I’ll wander around."

Selena said with a smile to Hope.

Hope paused, "Alright, Madam, if you need anything, please find me."

"Okay."

Hope then left.
