Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 341: Burning

The discussion was about the sudden death of The Vipers, who died in the surveillance house three days ago.

The Norwood family administered a drug to him, which should have tortured him for at least a month before it caused his neurological decay and death.

However, it had only been a little over half a month when The Vipers suddenly died.

According to the information received, the surveillants in the surveillance house had always kept The Vipers tied to the bed, even feeding him liquid food for meals.

Additionally, Spencer Norwood had notified the supervisor from Sylva beforehand, assuring that they would be more vigilant in monitoring The Vipers.

"About ten days before The Vipers died, someone named Cole Vaughn visited him."

"I’ve investigated that person; his mother died early, his father was a gambler and alcoholic, known for abusing and mistreating him. After his father’s death, Cole Vaughn fought in underground boxing for a while with The Vipers."

He appeared to be just a young man with a tragic background.

But Silvester Norwood still spoke up.

"Thoroughly check the personnel movements in the surveillance house on that day. As for Cole Vaughn... continue investigating him."

Cole Vaughn’s identity and background were indeed tragic, leaving no trace of flaw.

But from Sterling Norwood’s intuition, it couldn’t be that simple.

The Viper Syndicate had made many enemies, but it wasn’t worth them risking offending the Norwood family by personally assassinating The Vipers.

Unless... there was a secret about The Vipers that they didn’t know.

Since Sterling Norwood was at The Imperial Building at the time, Selena Kensington sat in Sterling’s previous spot.

She opened the video sent to her by Sloane Hawthorne.

It was similar to what she had seen in the dance studio before, except the movements were more agile and graceful.

She had also changed into a flowing red dress.

The red dress accentuated her figure, making it even more captivating. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The eighteen-year-old girl, like a budding flower, was tender with a hint of allure.

Sloane Hawthorne’s dance skills were truly impressive, even though she had abandoned them for two years, her practice over this period had brought her increasingly closer to mastering them.

This video, quite evidently, had improved significantly compared to what Selena had previously witnessed.

So, what kind of song would suit the Butterfly Flame Dance?

Love blossoming amid war and chaos, intense yet profound.

From mutual calculation to lifelong companionship.

Paloma Quinn and Rhys Kidd.

Butterfly Flame Dance, Burning?

Selena started writing a word in her notebook: Burning.

Beneath the bloody setting sun,

peering through the crumbling city walls at the ongoing battle ahead.

Living like a mayfly,

as insignificant as an ant,

but still striving to live with vigor and emotion.

That fateful encounter,

destined to be you.

In this city where good and evil coexist,

I coexist with you.

A butterfly flitters across the battlefield,

ignited by you.

...

Selena spent the entire afternoon refining and finalizing the version of Burning.

After witnessing Sloane Hawthorne’s dance, she had formed some ideas in her mind.

By processing those inner thoughts, she created Burning.

The lyrics were completed, and Selena also composed a simple score for the song.

After some thought, Selena decided to visit the company the next day.

She sent a message to Hugh Kensington.

[Selie Stays Slim]: Hugh, are you busy tomorrow?

Hugh responded immediately: Not busy, what’s up?

[Selie Stays Slim]: I finished writing the song. Let’s review it together tomorrow.

[Little Coat of Sister]: Sure, see you at the company recording studio tomorrow.

The next day, Selena went to Stardust Entertainment’s recording studio.

When Selena arrived, Hugh was already waiting for her.

With them were Sloane Hawthorne and her vocal coach.
