Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 695: Acquiring the Diary

"Once she goes to the Western Reach, Catherine Blanchett will be worse off than she is now..."

In an environment like the Western Reach, Catherine Blanchett won’t be able to handle it.

Plus, her pampered and spoiled disposition will not be hidden away.

But the people of the Western Reach are not tolerant; they won’t let the fact that Catherine hails from the Blanchett Family in Aethelgard allow them to swallow their grievances quietly.

After all, in their eyes, since Catherine married into their land, she must abide by the rules of the Western Reach.

As for the Blanchett Family, how could they care about a married-off daughter?

Moreover, if the wealthy businessman later discovers the reason Catherine Blanchett was married over, he’ll realize he picked up a discarded shoe...

At that time, what awaits Catherine will likely be an even more terrifying nightmare.

Thinking about Catherine’s future fate, Selena Kensington no longer cares about her current situation.

Selena Kensington and Sterling Norwood were idly sitting outside on the balcony when the butler came knocking.

"Family Head, Madam, the third young master of the Dalton Family has sent a diary."

After the butler said this, Selena Kensington rose from her recliner.

"Put it on the table."

Sterling Norwood replied calmly.

The butler came in, placed the diary on the table, and bowed slightly.

Then the butler exited the bedroom first.

Once the butler left, Selena Kensington planned to get up from the recliner.

Sterling Norwood beside her noted, "Don’t rush."

"..."

She wasn’t rushing, she usually moved at this pace.

However, Selena was eager to see the diary now, so she didn’t ponder Sterling Norwood’s words.

Selena walked swiftly to the table and picked up the diary.

The diary was wrapped in kraft paper, and because of its age, some of the edges were already frayed.

When Selena touched it, she could feel the traces of time on its cover.

She sighed slightly and opened the diary.

Inside the diary, it was all written in English.

The page numbers were marked in the lower right corner.

Every page recorded the date on which the entry was written.

As Selena began flipping through the diary, Sterling Norwood moved behind her.

He wrapped his arm around Selena’s waist, guiding her to sit on the sofa.

Selena glanced at him and sat down beside him on the sofa.

Then she continued flipping through the diary.

The contents were similar to what Samuel Dalton mentioned in the video before.

Mostly documented Winston Kensington and Rachel Shaw’s journey from leaving the Empire to the D-Nation for international scientific research, and later joining the Godsbane Organization, beginning their involvement in the experiments.

Until most of the later content was recording the experimental data and laboratory happenings.

Selena looked at the dense English records, her eyes dimming.

"Half a month after the experiments started, all experimental devices were ready..."

"The first subject was Kull. After his experiments, his overall condition showed a good state... the serum of special bloodline fused perfectly in him... he is about to become one of those people..."

"Upon seeing Kull’s experimental data, several more subjects were added..."

"But as time passed, those subjects did not receive the same positive feedback as Kull... they began experiencing backlash... their skin started to rupture, blood overflowed..."

"Some subjects even lost their minds and fled the laboratory..."

As Selena flipped through, she read some of the content aloud.

Some subjects who escaped were quickly captured by the Godsbane Organization, and none of those who escaped survived.

But even those who didn’t escape, a large part couldn’t last three months before backlash started to happen.

"...This is survival of the fittest... The winners get the chance to alter their genes, while the losers can only end up buried in the soil..."

Selena continued flipping forward.

Later, with many subjects in the lab having accidents, Winston Kensington and Rachel Shaw gradually noticed things were amiss.

They began paying attention to other areas of the laboratory and to the members present since the beginning.

The diary content ended when the Godsbane Organization decided to relocate the laboratory.

At the diary’s end, it mentioned their decision to move the experiment to the mainland, choosing to abandon this island.

As for where to relocate it...

They didn’t say.

"They didn’t say where the Godsbane Organization eventually relocated the laboratory."

After Selena said this, she closed the diary.

Though recorded in text, Selena seemed to sense the bloodiness and horror of the experiment through the words.

"...Just based on this, the Godsbane Organization wouldn’t go to such lengths."

Sterling Norwood said deeply.

Because even though the diary recorded many things, none touched on secret clues of the Godsbane Organization.

Winston Kensington and Rachel Shaw never even documented how they conducted the experiments.

Only recording some of the experimental data.

"...I think we should ask Aunt."

Selena suggested.

"...I’ll contact Fred."

Sterling Norwood paused for a moment, then began striding toward the door, heading outside the bedroom.

Looks like he was going to the study to contact Fred Hill.

Selena watched Sterling Norwood’s departing back, then placed the diary in her arms and followed.

*

When Selena reached the study, Sterling Norwood had already connected a video call with Fred Hill.

"...Hmm, thank you."

As Selena approached Sterling Norwood’s side, he had just finished talking with Fred.

Sterling Norwood wrapped his arm around her waist and lowered his head to say to Selena, "Mrs. Hill will come over soon."

Selena lazily leaned against Sterling Norwood, raising her head to ask, "Did Mr. Fred ask anything?"

Sterling Norwood chuckled, "I just told him my wife wants to have a cultural exchange with his wife."

"..."

Such a flimsy excuse, and Fred believed it?

Selena showed her speechlessness on her face, and Sterling Norwood gently pinched her upon seeing it.

He seemed to understand what Selena was thinking and laughed.

"Naturally, he wouldn’t believe it, but just having a reason is enough."

Fred Hill is the Great Duke outside the Northern Realm and the head of the Hill Family.

As the head of such a large family, he knows what to ask and what not to.

Sometimes, not everything needs to be dug to its roots.

Selena immediately understood.

Just a need for an excuse.

As for their real purpose with Mrs. Hill, Fred doesn’t care.

After a while, Mrs. Hill, Nancy Kensington, appeared on the screen.

Upon seeing Selena and Sterling, laughter blossomed on her face.

"Been too busy since returning to the D-Nation, haven’t been able to come see you, and your belly has grown so big..."
