Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 577: The Godsbane Organization

"Aunt, don’t you like it?"

Mrs. Hill smiled and shook her head, yet there was a hint of bitterness in that smile.

"No, I’m very happy."

"It’s just that this happiness cannot be expressed."

Selena Kensington and Hugh Kensington fell silent.

Mrs. Hill had finally found her brother, only to discover that he had been dead for many years.

Leaving behind only two children.

"Fortunately, there’s still you both..."

Mrs. Hill sighed softly.

Over the years, she had actually considered many endings for her brother.

Therefore, even upon hearing that Connor Kensington had died years ago, despite the overwhelming grief in her heart, she still mustered the strength to face the things to come.

She gazed softly at the Kensington siblings.

Seeing the siblings wanting to speak, she lifted a finger to her lips "Shh... Here is not the place to say too much."

Selena Kensington and Hugh Kensington exchanged a glance, suppressing their thoughts.

Afterwards, the three of them walked into the banquet.

Mrs. Hill’s very presence was quite noticeable.

From the moment she stepped into the banquet, she drew a lot of attention.

Including Sidney Dalton.

Seeing Mrs. Hill with Selena and Hugh Kensington following behind her, he frowned slightly.

After thinking for a moment, he walked over.

"Mrs. Hill, I have long admired your reputation."

Sidney Dalton slightly raised his wine glass towards Mrs. Hill.

Mrs. Hill’s demeanor was calm and noble, not as gentle as when she faced the Kensington siblings.

"Mr. Dalton, ’Cultural Relics Retrospect’ is a successful documentary."

Mrs. Hill said.

Hearing this, the smile on Sidney Dalton’s lips deepened "To receive Mrs. Hill’s affirmation, is an honor for me."

Then, he turned his eyes to the Kensington siblings behind Mrs. Hill.

"President Kensington, Mrs. Nie, long time no see."

Sidney Dalton raised an eyebrow slightly, saying.

There was a hint of provocation in his eyes.

Hugh Kensington greeted Sidney Dalton with a calm expression, "It has been a while, President Dalton seems to be in a good mood."

Then, without waiting for Sidney Dalton to respond, he continued on his own.

"And rightfully so, after all, President Dalton’s assistants are always excellent."

He seemed to be implying something, smiling meaningfully.

Hearing Hugh Kensington’s words, Sidney Dalton frowned slightly, imperceptibly.

Later, after the Kensington siblings left with Mrs. Hill, Sidney Dalton was still pondering the meaning behind Hugh Kensington’s earlier words.

He also recalled a report from his subordinate earlier, mentioning that a former assistant had been getting quite close with Hugh Kensington...

Adding Hugh Kensington’s earlier words to the mix, Sidney Dalton couldn’t help but think of many things.

He was already vaguely certain that the former subordinate had betrayed him.

Which was why he had suffered repeated failures lately.

After all, that subordinate knew him thoroughly, and was familiar with his modus operandi.

If he had anticipated his moves in advance and conveyed them to Hugh Kensington, then it would explain his previous mistakes...

Sidney Dalton’s eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous gleam flashing in them.

Meanwhile, as she walked away, Selena Kensington glanced back slightly at Sidney Dalton.

Seeing him still standing in place, lost in thought, Selena Kensington’s lips curved into a soft smile.

The fish had taken the bait.

Mrs. Hill noticed the siblings’ actions and nonchalantly asked, "Do you have a conflict with that man?"

Selena Kensington turned around, shrugging her shoulders "Between us, it’s either his loss or ours."

Hearing Selena Kensington’s implication, Mrs. Hill understood.

After the banquet ended, the Kensington siblings left the state banquet hall with Mrs. Hill.

The Empire had arranged special vehicles and escorts for Mrs. Hill.

Mrs. Hill instructed her escorts to wait aside while she got into the Kensington siblings’ car.

In the car, the three began to discuss.

"Aunt, do you know about Grandfather and Grandmother’s situation?"

As soon as they got in the car, Hugh Kensington eagerly asked.

Mrs. Hill lightly sighed "The Empire’s records state that they died at the age of twenty-five, correct?"

Selena Kensington nodded.

"So we suspect that the laboratory explosion wasn’t an accident, but rather deliberate."

Mrs. Hill nodded slightly, "Your suspicion is correct."

"That laboratory explosion was indeed a conspiracy."

Mrs. Hill gazed into the distance, seemingly reminiscing.

"I remember going to The D-Nation with my parents for an international cooperative experiment when I was seven."

"Due to my parents’ remarkable research and honors in hematology, those people targeted them."

"They orchestrated a ruse to steal and replace."

"That day, my parents left me in the room, but by evening, they hadn’t returned."

"In a panic, I went to the research institute."

Mrs. Hill seemed to remember something, a trace of pain appeared in her expression.

"Afterwards, I saw the laboratory being destroyed, surrounded by countless fire trucks and the military."

"I watched as they carried out charred bodies, intending to rush up, but then I suddenly saw a group taking my parents away not far from the laboratory."

"I was very shocked, intending to follow them, but was then taken away by people from the Hill Family who arrived later."

"After being taken by the Hill Family, I assumed a new identity and became Sophia Hill."

"The last time I saw my parents was after Connor was born, we took a family photo, and afterwards, our parents gave each of us a pocket watch."

"After that, I completely lost contact with them."

Selena Kensington was slightly stunned.

"Do you know who took them?"

Mrs. Hill nodded slightly, then frowned and shook her head.

"Only know the name."

"The Godsbane Organization."

After saying that, Mrs. Hill lifted her gaze towards the Kensington siblings "What a daring name, don’t you think?"

"..."

Godsbane Organization...

Selena Kensington frowned at the mention of the name.

Just what kind of people would establish such an organization.

They actually dared to attempt to bury God.

"It is rumored that The Ancient Wilds was more than just a legend, that within The Empire’s borders, many descendants exist from that era, and these descendants have peculiar abilities in their bloodline."

"Those people attempted to gain such abilities by studying these bloodlines, even... immortality."

Hugh Kensington’s eyes flashed with shock.

Compared to Selena, who was already somewhat aware, this was the first time Hugh Kensington was hearing this.

"Immortality? That’s just an elusive thing, yet some people actually persist?"

Mrs. Hill’s lips curved slightly "Hugh, there are always those more capable, greater than you imagine."

"Some things that appear fantastical to you might indeed exist."

"Like your brother-in-law."

Hugh Kensington was puzzled by Mrs. Hill’s last comment, promptly looking at Selena Kensington.

Selena Kensington pressed her lips together slightly "I’ll tell you more later."
