Chapter 704: Chapter 704: The Youth I Admired Was Full of Spirit

"How could you not know."

In Roxanne Sutton’s eyes, there seemed to be a hint of mockery as she chuckled lightly.

Sidney Dalton suddenly found Roxanne Sutton’s demeanor to be quite irritating.

As if something he had always controlled was slipping away, spiraling towards a direction he could not anticipate.

Roxanne Sutton continued, "Maybe you’ve known about your changes all along, but just refused to acknowledge them."

"Because you believe that all of this is natural, is nothing but normal. Ha... I was indeed deceived by your facade back then."

Having listened for so long, Sidney Dalton gradually understood her meaning.

"So now are you trying to blame me, for bringing you out of Westport?"

Sidney Dalton said in a deep voice.

Yet inwardly he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If Roxanne Sutton was only complaining, then it couldn’t be simpler.

Roxanne Sutton slightly shook her head, "No."

"I never regret leaving Westport; I only regret not seeing clearly what I truly wanted sooner, leading to increasing confusion..."

"Aren’t you the same way?"

After finishing this sentence, Roxanne Sutton raised her cup of coffee from the table, took a sip, and continued "Since Selena Kensington appeared, your true colors have been gradually revealed, haven’t they? Because you’re afraid, afraid she will grow up, afraid your past deeds will be exposed, afraid she will retaliate..."

"And as Selena Kensington grows stronger, becomes more formidable, as her backing becomes evident, you start to descend into panic, and at this point, your true intention can no longer be concealed..."

Before Roxanne Sutton could finish speaking, Sidney Dalton interrupted her with a sullen face.

"I don’t understand what you are talking about."

Roxanne Sutton glanced at him and ignored his darkening expression, continuing to speak, "Because you fear detection by the Norwood Family, you didn’t openly target Selena Kensington but used the business competition between Radiance and Stardust to suppress Selena Kensington."

Sidney Dalton coldly stared at Roxanne Sutton, "Wasn’t it you who initially targeted Selena Kensington."

If it weren’t for Roxanne Sutton first confronting Selena Kensington, starting to target her, and doing many foolish things.

At the beginning, Sidney Dalton could calmly help her handle the aftermath due to past affections.

But as Selena Kensington grew stronger and Roxanne Sutton grew increasingly foolish.

Sidney Dalton’s patience and affection for her gradually wore thin.

Upon hearing Sidney Dalton’s questioning, Roxanne Sutton wasn’t annoyed; she didn’t even show the slightest evasion and nodded slightly. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Yes, I admit."

"When I first saw Selena Kensington, I had a feeling deep down that she shouldn’t be so radiant; she should be defeated by me... Everything she received made me jealous, made me feel she shouldn’t have all this."

Roxanne Sutton admitted so straightforwardly, instead of dodging, surprising Sidney Dalton opposite her.

At the same time, he felt strange, a voice inside him silently telling him.

This shouldn’t be like this...

Yet he always failed to detect anything peculiar.

And Selena Kensington, sitting behind Roxanne Sutton, heard her words and was slightly stunned.

Then she gazed toward Lark Mayfield opposite her.

Lark Mayfield clearly heard Roxanne Sutton’s words too, then looked up at Selena Kensington, and calmly explained to her, "This is also the continuation of cause and effect."

Because in the past life, Roxanne Sutton indeed succeeded, ultimately making Selena Kensington lose everything.

So in this life, even starting over, Roxanne Sutton in her subconscious still believes Selena Kensington shouldn’t possess all this.

This long-standing psychological suggestion thus intensifies Roxanne Sutton’s behavior, increasingly generating inexplicable hostility toward Selena Kensington.

After Roxanne Sutton finished speaking, she ignored Sidney Dalton’s astonished eyes.

Suddenly smiled.

That smile carried much relief and reflection.

"I really am foolish, still attempting to justify myself until the end."

"The one I admired was the spirited youth of the past, not you now."

After saying this, Roxanne Sutton slowly closed her eyes.

She seemed to use all her strength to utter the last sentence.

"Aunt, do it."

"...Who are you calling for."

Sidney Dalton furrowed his brows, and that strange feeling inside him suddenly amplified.

Unfortunately, he had already relaxed because of Roxanne Sutton’s words, and now it was too late to be vigilant again.

Because Lark Mayfield, upon hearing Roxanne Sutton’s words, stood up from her seat.

She appeared in their booth with lightning speed, taking Sidney Dalton by surprise.

Sidney Dalton saw a woman appear in front of him, momentarily stunned.

He subconsciously looked into Lark Mayfield’s eyes.

And entered into deep, crimson eyes.

In those enchanting, seductive fox-like eyes, crimson glimmers slowly unfolded, as if luring and bewildering those who looked into them.

Sidney Dalton saw Lark Mayfield’s eyes, and alarms went off in his mind.

He instinctively wanted to awaken himself.

And Lark Mayfield, who had been nonchalant, suddenly realized something, his enchanting fox-like eyes slightly widened, a trace of shock and disbelief passed.

Eventually, those fox-like eyes dangerously narrowed, suddenly intensifying control.

Next to him, Selena Kensington, feeling Lark Mayfield’s aura suddenly at its peak, her previously indifferent demeanor gradually became serious, fierce. Even with a hint of killing intent...

Selena Kensington was somewhat puzzled; what did Lark Mayfield discover?

Why show such an expression.

Especially that hint of killing intent, was the first time Selena Kensington had seen such apparent killing intent on Lark Mayfield since arriving in Aethelgard.

Sidney Dalton, who was still struggling to regain his senses, was still helpless against Lark Mayfield’s aura at full force.

Soon, his expression gradually turned dazed.

The gleam in his eyes slowly dimmed.

Until he was completely controlled by Lark Mayfield.

Roxanne Sutton quietly watched this scene from the side.

After Lark Mayfield fully controlled Sidney Dalton, she quickly turned to Selena Kensington, her tone slightly tinged with gritted teeth, "Once I get the safe box, you’d better tell me his identity from start to finish!"

After saying this, she turned again to Sidney Dalton.

"Leave, go to your safe house."

Yes, Sidney Dalton had named the location with the safe box as ’safe house’.

Hearing the three words ’safe house’, Sidney Dalton’s face showed a trace of daze, and a gleam returned to his eyes.

Lark Mayfield’s face slightly darkened upon seeing this.

"The light of a firefly dares to compete with sun and moon!"

Her cold, arrogant voice echoed from Lark Mayfield’s mouth.

In those bewitching, eerie fox-like eyes, flashes of crimson glowed.

And as she finished the sentence, Sidney Dalton quieted down again.
