Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 163: Reassurance

But by the time he arrived, Selena Kensington had already gone to the Dalton Family.

He had no choice but to suppress the desire for destruction within him and rush to the Dalton Family.

Selena sighed and sat down.

"I’m fine, don’t get angry, calm down."

"I’m here, not angry."

Selena had now figured out Sterling Norwood’s state; he would become violent and terrifying when it came to matters related to her.

Sterling didn’t speak, gently touching the bandage on his neck.

There, he had also almost lost her by accident once before.

But now someone wanted to harm her in the same way; how could Sterling Norwood allow it? Even he wouldn’t allow it!

Selena sat on his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and earnestly promised him, "This time I was unprepared... it won’t happen again."

Sterling slightly lowered his head, his deep blue eyes gazing into Selena’s.

He said in a hoarse voice, "There won’t be a next time."

"I was late, and you got hurt... I’m sorry."

He didn’t protect his wife.

This realization made Sterling feel incredibly heavy-hearted.

In their world, partners are the only ones; if he couldn’t protect his partner, how could he stand among his clan and subordinates?

Sterling lowered his head, like a cautious young beast, gently licking the part of her neck not covered by the bandage.

Selena’s eyes trembled.

"It’s okay, I just got a little hurt..."

She softly comforted.

In the end, it was Selena who kept comforting him, promising him many things before the gloom in Sterling’s heart gradually dissipated.

He knew Selena didn’t like him touching bloody things, but how could he let those who harmed her go easily?

A few days later, the Dalton Family suddenly encountered a fierce suppression by the Norwood Family, and the Dalton Family’s stocks plunged repeatedly.

The people of Aethelgard speculated about what the Dalton Family had done to anger the Norwood Family.

After all, the Norwood Family hadn’t made such bold moves for a long time.

Ruthless and domineering.

Mr. Dalton was bewildered by this matter, and it wasn’t until Butler Dalton reminded him.

Only then did he remember the earlier incident with Selena, and though Mr. Dalton didn’t understand the Norwood Family’s intentions either.

In the face of such a situation, he had no choice but to send Mortimer Dalton abroad overnight.

Unfortunately, Mr. Dalton didn’t know that as soon as Mortimer stepped off the plane, he was taken away.

The leader was... Spencer Norwood.

Seeing the terror in Mortimer Dalton’s eyes, Spencer was very satisfied with his expression.

"Of all people, why provoke the sister-in-law?"

Spencer laughed bloodthirstily, and under Mortimer Dalton’s frightened gaze, took him away.

With Mortimer being sent abroad, Mr. Dalton had no idea of Mortimer’s true situation.

Because all the people sent to protect Mortimer had long been replaced by Spencer Norwood.

And Mr. Dalton could only receive monthly messages that everything was fine.

Feeling guilt towards his eldest son, Mr. Dalton thought perhaps being overseas would be more beneficial for Mortimer’s treatment, so he never mentioned bringing him back.

After that, Mortimer Dalton was never seen again...

Sidney Dalton was shocked that the Norwood Family would go to such lengths for Selena, something Finn Norwood couldn’t have achieved.

Unless it was... that one.

But Sidney found it hard to believe that the one would be involved with Selena?

For the sake of caution, Sidney decided not to provoke Selena for the time being.

After all, the wrath of that person was not something he could bear.

And Roxanne Sutton didn’t understand why Sidney had become more restrained; Sidney didn’t want to mention these things in front of her.
