Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 359: Glory and Decline

"Due to the unique nature of the Clan of Celestial Masters, the Celestial Division gives special attention to the remaining families. Unfortunately, as the years have passed, there are no more than ten Heavenly Masters left, and nearly all are quite aged..."

Selena Kensington’s gaze flickered. Once a family of thousands of Heavenly Masters, has the Clan of Celestial Masters finally fallen to the point of dwindling descendants?

The Clan of Celestial Masters has experienced glory, decline, and countless historical changes. They have witnessed the rise and fall of numerous dynasties.

In the end, they are destined to dissipate in the torrents of history.

Selena Kensington turned to ask, "Do you know about the curse of the Clan of Celestial Masters?"

Lea Dutton frowned slightly, but eventually shook her head, "I don’t know. Although I’m part of the Celestial Division, there is a hierarchy within, and my level of access doesn’t grant me knowledge of such critical secrets."

Selena felt a bit regretful, but she still gained quite a bit of information from Lea.

She didn’t press further, "It’s alright, knowing this much is already quite fortunate."

Lea nodded, then quipped, "However, I’ve heard other colleagues say that the decline of the Clan of Celestial Masters was due to their battles with the Fell Beasts."

Selena was somewhat puzzled; shouldn’t that be a matter of pride?

"Many Great Demons and even The Vile Beasts are born of the imperial aura nurtured by heaven and earth. They are beings recognized by the laws. But humans saw them as threats to their survival and united to fight them."

"Later, in a fit of rage, The Beast Lord cursed the Clan of Celestial Masters."

At the mention of the curse, Selena’s hand moved slightly on the table.

Could this be the concealed pain Timothy Jennings spoke of?

But... why?

Could it be related to her?

This was the reason for Selena’s deep confusion.

Noticing Selena’s heavy expression, Lea quickly changed the subject, "Hey sis, don’t dwell on it. We were probably just chatting aimlessly. The truth may have been lost to time’s passage."

Selena’s expression softened slightly, and she nodded.

"I’m fine, just thinking about some things."

"That’s about it for today. You can head off now."

Selena said to Lea.

"Alright, sure."

After Lea left, Selena also stood up from her seat.

Grabbing her trench coat, she headed out.

She was going to The Imperial Building.

The people at The Imperial Building already knew her, and Selena couldn’t be bothered to go to the underground parking lot to take the elevator up.

She parked her car in the open-air parking lot next to The Imperial Building and walked straight to the main entrance.

As soon as she walked in, the reception and lobby staff greeted her one after another.

"Hello, Ma’am."

"Good afternoon, Ma’am."

"Ma’am..."

Selena smiled and nodded at them.

For some reason, every time she came to The Imperial Building, these employees were particularly enthusiastic. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

What Selena did not know was that whenever she arrived, it signaled to the employees that the CEO today would definitely not be in a bad mood!

So as soon as they saw Selena, their efficiency immediately shot up.

They quickly wrapped up their work to be reported and seized the opportunity to report while Selena was still there.

This contributed to Selena’s misconception that Sterling Norwood was always extremely busy.

’Ding.’

Selena exited the elevator.

Through the frosted glass door, Selena could vaguely see the figures of two people in the meeting room.

As Selena walked over, the two people stood up.

Then, the door opened.

Out came Silvester Norwood and another professional woman dressed in a sharp office outfit.

She had long, wavy hair coupled with fiery red lips, exuding an air of allure.

This woman, Selena recognized her.
