Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 495: Samuel Dalton in the Previous Life

Chapter 495: Chapter 495: Samuel Dalton in the Previous Life

After watching Sloane Hawthorne’s performance, Selena Kensington felt somewhat tired.

"Grandfather, take your time. I’ll go up and rest first."

"Alright, go and rest."

Selena Kensington stood up.

Sterling Norwood gently squeezed her hand, "Go sleep first, I’ll stay with Grandpa for a while."

Selena Kensington nodded, "Okay."

Then, Selena Kensington went upstairs.

Once Selena was confirmed to be upstairs, the nonchalant expression on Sterling Norwood’s face vanished.

Mr. Norwood turned his head to look at him, "Speak, what is it."

"The experiment has hit a bottleneck."

Sterling Norwood stated plainly, his eyes dim.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Norwood paused.

Then he sighed, "If you don’t plan on having children, this matter can be put on hold."

Sterling Norwood’s gaze sharpened, his tone suddenly heavier, "What about the ’impact’?!"

Sterling Norwood wasn’t overly concerned about having children.

He was just afraid that someday Selena Kensington might want a child.

Most importantly, it was about the impact of the curse.

"The Jennings family hasn’t found a solution yet."

Mr. Norwood frowned slightly.

The Norwood Family has a history spanning thousands of years, but the subject of how to break the curse has never been mentioned.

Because to the Norwood family, this curse seemed insignificant.

And since the curse was personally placed by The Beast Lord, they didn’t feel the need to study how to break it.

All they needed to do was wait for the sacrifice to be born and then offer it to The Beast Lord.

Whereas researching how to break the curse was something the Clan of Celestial Masters had been exploring all along.

That’s why Sterling Norwood had Timothy Jennings brought in to work with him.

"Previously at Mount Nimbus, he already entered The Celestial Vein to seek solutions."

Mr. Norwood sighed.

"The Clan of Celestial Masters has been researching this for so long, it’s impossible they haven’t found any solution yet. Don’t worry too much."

"The most fortunate thing now is that those people haven’t interfered, otherwise..."

Otherwise, if the curse’s effects and the bloodline issues on Sterling Norwood and Selena Kensington had not been resolved, and those people came out to make things worse...

Mr. Norwood truly worried about how things might develop in such a situation.

"Hmm."

Mr. Norwood glanced at Sterling Norwood and saw that his expression was as usual.

He tentatively asked, "To what extent have you awakened now?"

Sterling Norwood was silent for a second, then replied, "I have suppressed the further awakening."

Mr. Norwood was surprised, "Why?!"

Previously, hadn’t we already decided to accept the bloodline’s power? Why suppress it now?!

Sterling Norwood calmly explained, "As the awakening deepened, the instincts within me became increasingly apparent."

Especially, the yearning for the Heavenly Master Bloodline.

Though it was not enough to make him turn into a beast, sometimes Sterling Norwood couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t lose control.

So, to avoid harming Selena Kensington, he deliberately slowed down the awakening process.

Furthermore, after leaving the research facility yesterday, Sterling Norwood reflected.

If the awakening of his own bloodline granted his blood the ability to resist, then if he consciously suppressed it, the blood might not resist the mixture as much?

Holding such thoughts, Sterling Norwood intentionally suppressed himself.

And Selena, who had gone upstairs earlier, naturally didn’t know about the conversation between Sterling Norwood and Mr. Norwood.

She returned to her room.

Gazing at the moonlight outside the balcony.

Suddenly, Selena Kensington picked up her phone as if involuntarily.

She thought of Samuel Dalton abroad.

Clearly, he and Hugh Kensington were only nineteen years old, yet they had already assumed their respective responsibilities.

Hugh Kensington was bearing the entire Kensington Family, and Samuel Dalton was fighting for the Colombo Family abroad.

Each time she thought of Samuel Dalton, she couldn’t help but recall past events concerning him.

Samuel Dalton surged like a dark horse after Sidney Dalton was close to controlling the Dalton Family and becoming its heir.

He strongly took control of most of the Dalton Family’s businesses, catching Sidney Dalton off guard.

Like a tornado, he penetrated the Dalton Family, winning the support of many major shareholders of Dalton Enterprises.

Except for Radiance Entertainment, which Sidney Dalton had personally run and Samuel Dalton hadn’t touched, nearly all of the Dalton Family’s businesses eventually became supporters of Samuel Dalton.

And after making these shocking moves, Samuel Dalton’s status as heir to the Dalton Family began to waver.

It seemed only then did Mr. Dalton reevaluate his youngest son.

That period was when Selena Kensington could finally catch her breath. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Prior to that, Sidney Dalton had been oppressing Stardust, and during that time Hugh Kensington was framed by Sidney Dalton and Roxanne Sutton, resulting in drug charges and imprisonment.

Selena Kensington found herself isolated and helpless.

Samuel Dalton’s actions provided Selena with a chance to breathe.

Afterwards, Samuel Dalton and Sidney Dalton entered into a fierce fight.

Samuel Dalton directly incapacitated one of Sidney Dalton’s arms, making him recuperate in the hospital for a month.

During that month, Selena Kensington wasn’t privy to what transpired.

She only knew that after a month, Samuel Dalton seemed to lose his fighting spirit and suddenly withdrew all his arrangements in the Dalton Family, moving his forces overseas.

Sidney Dalton, once recovered, rose again swiftly, and Mr. Dalton promptly announced him as the next heir to the Dalton Family.

Subsequently, in her difficult open and hidden struggles with Sidney Dalton, Selena only occasionally heard of Samuel Dalton’s last news.

It was one morning, months later.

She looked at the news on her phone.

The youngest master of the Dalton Family, died in an overseas conflict.

The news didn’t explain it in detail; it was merely glossed over.

At that time, Selena was taken aback for a while.

To some extent, she and Samuel Dalton were allies.

Furthermore, from Selena’s perspective, how could someone as strong as Samuel Dalton die so easily in overseas strife?!

But afterwards, she no longer had the energy to investigate.

Shortly after Samuel Dalton’s death, Selena Kensington received word of Hugh Kensington’s suicide in prison.

She was nearly overwhelmed then, yet also dared not believe it.

Because she knew her brother, even in such an environment, would not yield.

Nor would he resort to suicide.

Later, she herself became mentally unstable, with the dark negative emotion almost dragging her into boundless darkness.

No light could pierce through.

Selena Kensington emerged from her thoughts.

She instinctively pressed a button on her phone.

Dialed Samuel Dalton’s number.

She paused for a moment but didn’t hang up.

After her rebirth, before meeting Samuel Dalton, she had only seen him as a former benefactor. Despite him being unaware, he did buy her time to breathe.

After encountering Samuel Dalton, Selena placed him on the same pedestal as Hugh Kensington.

Moreover, she had recovered her past memories.

And understood the persistence Samuel Dalton had all these years.
