Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss
Chapter 662: Felicity Dalton Is a Pseudo-Human
Hugh Kensington watched this magical scene, his eyes widening slightly in amazement.
Although he had heard of the Jennings family’s magical abilities before, seeing them with his own eyes was nonetheless surprising.
Selena Kensington bestowed a wisp of Heavenly Master Power.
"All done."
After finishing, Selena Kensington withdrew her hand.
"What were you just doing?"
Hugh Kensington felt a warm aura enveloping his body.
"...Heavenly Master Power. It’s okay, I have my reasons. You should head back now."
Selena didn’t elaborate further with Hugh.
If her judgment was wrong, she couldn’t easily explain it to him.
But if it’s true...
Selena dared not think further.
Hugh looked somewhat frustrated at Selena’s reluctance to explain, then glanced at Sterling Norwood standing behind Selena.
Seeing that Sterling wasn’t surprised by Selena’s actions, he relaxed.
With his brother-in-law there, his sister probably wouldn’t act out.
He lazily responded, "Understood. I won’t see you off then."
Selena glanced at him, chuckled, "Go in and take care of Quinn. Who asked you to see us off?"
Hugh hummed lightly and turned to enter the ward.
Outside the infirmary, Selena and Sterling did not hurry to leave.
As Hugh went inside, Selena stood by the door.
Through the glass on the door, she looked inside.
Sterling, beside her, gently tugged at her fingers.
Selena turned her head to look at him.
Sterling spoke indifferently, "What did you sense?"
Sterling had observed Selena’s move earlier but didn’t speak up.
He knew Selena wouldn’t give Hugh Heavenly Master Power without a reason.
"Shush."
Selena didn’t immediately answer Sterling.
She turned her head again, looking through the ward door’s glass inside.
Hugh went over to Quinn Dalton, whose brows furrowed subtly without a trace.
Yet her expression remained rather normal.
But when Hugh sat beside her, ready to peel fruit for her, bumping her slightly with his arm—
Her eyes suddenly reacted strongly, contracting, and she withdrew into the blanket.
And the arm Hugh touched her with... was the exact arm Selena had transferred Heavenly Master Power into earlier.
Seeing this, Selena already reached a conclusion.
Yet she still dared not believe.
Quinn Dalton...
When did she become a pseudo-type entity?!
Selena tightening her lips, took Sterling’s hand and turned to leave.
Arriving outside the hospital, Selena breathed a little heavily.
She leaned half her body against Sterling.
Sterling wrapped his arm around her waist and walked toward the parking lot.
Just sitting in the car, Selena hesitated a moment before speaking with difficulty, "Quinn... is a pseudo-type entity."
Her voice was a bit hoarse as she said this.
Sterling answered softly and then leaned over to fasten her seatbelt.
Selena noticed there wasn’t any surprise in Sterling’s eyes, raising her brows slightly.
She asked directly, "Why are you not surprised at all?"
After fastening the seatbelt, Sterling lifted his head and suddenly smiled.
"I vaguely suspected it before, but..."
Sterling stretched his final note, his eyes narrowing slightly, "I didn’t realize you had such capabilities."
Selena blinked.
She knew Sterling referred to the Heavenly Master Power within her.
"Aunt Estelle taught me."
Selena didn’t plan to hide Esther Jennings’ presence from Sterling.
"Aunt?"
Sterling murmured.
"Yes. But she’s only an essence within my body now."
Selena explained briefly before urging Sterling, "Let’s head back; I’m a bit hungry."
She was supposed to eat lunch before coming but was concerned about Quinn Dalton, so she went to the hospital first.
Sterling gave Selena a profound look, then straightened up to start the vehicle.
On the way.
Selena still pondered over Quinn Dalton.
"Since Quinn is a pseudo-type entity... the Dalton Family’s main house surely can’t be entirely disconnected from The Godsbane Organization."
Selena suddenly thought of this, abruptly turning to Sterling.
"Indeed."
"I’ve already sent someone to investigate, but the findings are not ideal."
Sterling spoke calmly.
"Because it’s an incident from decades ago, plus the Dalton Family has always been cautious about these matters, the useful information we’ve gathered thus far is scarce."
After all, time is an insurmountable thing; even with the Norwood family’s considerable power, it’s impossible to thoroughly investigate such deeply hidden matters from decades ago quickly.
"However..."
Sterling paused.
"I did discover something interesting."
Selena hurriedly asked, "What is it?"
Sterling glanced at her briefly, "In the generation of Mr. Dalton’s father, there was also a Quinn Dalton in the Dalton Family, but... it seems that person died young during the Dalton Family’s power struggle."
Selena froze.
A bizarre idea gradually surfaced.
"This can’t be..."
Sterling shook his head slightly, "It’s not how you think it is. Perhaps that person held special significance for Mr. Dalton’s father, hence naming Quinn Dalton identically."
"Just, whether that person truly died in the power struggle... remains to be verified."
"Explain?"
Selena looked over.
Sterling’s expression was calm, yet his gaze held coldness and discomfort.
"In their era, many wealthy families personally sent their heirs into laboratories. Later, when the laboratory had issues, many young heirs died on the experiment tables."
Selena fell silent instantly.
She was unfamiliar with the era decades ago.
Or perhaps she couldn’t comprehend those people’s decisions to send their blood relatives for experimentation for the family’s superior genes.
"You mean that Quinn Dalton died on an experiment table? But what does that have to do with the current Quinn Dalton?"
Sterling chuckled.
"That’s something we need to ask Mr. Dalton."
Selena’s eyes flashed, "Looks like we need to proceed step by step."
This matter cannot be rushed indeed.
It’s crucial they don’t alert the enemy.
Otherwise, those lurking adversaries might notice anything unusual and withdraw.
As long as they root out those people, in Aethelgard’s territory, they can’t do whatever they please anymore.
And now she mainly awaits Roxanne Sutton’s arrival, the engagement ceremony of Sidney Dalton and Catherine Blanchett, to completely destroy Roxanne and Sidney...
After waiting this long, it’s time to conclude matters with them, and her previous life.
And resolving the Sidney and Roxanne situation, she can then properly confront The Godsbane Organization.
As for Zoe Sinclair...
As she thought about Zoe’s welcome party in three days, Selena’s eyes flashed.
She was quite curious about this woman she’d never met, who carried quite a few hallmarks.
