Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 402: Searching for the Old Butler

So, what kind of magic does the role of Quincy, which makes Selena Kensington rather halt the casting than settle for anything less, have?

This only made the netizens even more eager.

Selena wasn’t satisfied with the actors recommended by Stardust Entertainment, so Hugh Kensington chose to look for actors within the entertainment circle.

But after a few days of trying, Selena was still dissatisfied.

At this point, Hugh was at his wit’s end.

Selena sat on the sofa in Hugh’s office, sighing.

Sitting at his desk, Hugh looked up helplessly, "Sis, how many sighs have you let out already?"

Selena glanced at him and couldn’t be bothered to argue.

She sighed once more.

Hugh, feeling helpless, stopped processing the documents.

He got up and walked over, "You’re not satisfied with the candidates the company recommended, nor those in the circle, and I have no solutions left."

Selena is stubborn in this aspect. If she can’t find the person she deems suitable, she won’t compromise.

This has resulted in the casting coming to a standstill.

Selena took a sip of the coffee on the table.

"Sigh, didn’t I mention that guy I met in Sylva to you before?"

"I really admired him at the time..."

Seeing Selena bring up that young man named ’Cole Vaughn’ again, Hugh felt even more helpless.

"Yes, you mentioned him, but unfortunately, he hasn’t reached out to you, so what can you do?"

Hugh would love to meet this Cole Vaughn, curious about what kind of person deserves such attention from his sister.

"Sigh, that’s why I’m troubled..."

Selena was also bothered. She had thrown her business card at him quite obviously back then, and the news about the ’Butterfly Flame’ casting had been out for a while.

Still, he hadn’t contacted her yet.

Could he really have no interest?

But if he wasn’t interested, why enter the entertainment industry?

Could it be that he was ostracized by his peers, leading to discouraged departure from the entertainment circle?

Selena also recalled the cold taunts from other artists at the Gorgeous Award ceremony dinner.

The thought barely formed when Selena dismissed it.

Remembering his gaze, Selena understood that Cole Vaughn was not a fragile little lamb, easily bullied.

While Selena was troubled and Hugh was helpless,

Selena’s phone rang.

She quickly took out her phone; it was Sterling Norwood calling.

"A-Jing."

Selena pressed the answer button.

"That person you asked me to investigate before, I’ve found him."

Sterling’s words came through, and Selena’s eyes were full of shock upon hearing him.

This quickly?!

It had only been a few days...

Moreover, she’d only given Sterling some basic information like the old butler’s surname, places he used to live...

As expected of the Norwood Family.

"He hasn’t left Aethelgard, but has assumed a new identity. He is now a Tomb Guardian at the Aethelgard Suburban Cemetery."

"..."

Hearing Sterling’s words, Selena’s hand holding the phone trembled.

The phone almost slipped from her grasp.

Aethelgard Suburban Cemetery.

Her parents were buried there.

"... I understand."

Selena’s voice was a bit choked.

Sterling was silent for a moment on the other end, "Don’t be sad."

He clumsily tried to comfort her.

"No one can touch you."

This last sentence was a promise to her.

Selena’s eyes widened slightly. What did Sterling mean by his last words??

Did he already know something?

But the current situation didn’t allow her to dwell on it, so she agreed and chatted with Sterling a bit before hanging up.

After ending the call, Selena looked up at Hugh.

"The old butler has gone into hiding... he’s now a Tomb Guardian at the Aethelgard Suburban Cemetery."

Saying this, Hugh also fell silent.

Of course, he knew their parents were buried there.

And the old butler, fired ten years ago, had assumed a new identity as a Tomb Guardian at the Aethelgard Suburban Cemetery. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Hugh’s voice was low and slightly hoarse, "Should we go?"

Selena stood up.

"Yes, how can we not go?"

Hugh knew she would say that.

His sister had never been one to be kept in the dark.

So, the siblings left Stardust Entertainment and headed to Aethelgard Suburban Cemetery.

*

Aethelgard Suburban Cemetery.

Because it wasn’t a holiday for paying respects, the cemetery felt especially desolate and quiet.

Only a few people were scattered around the cemetery.

Selena and Hugh walked in.

They headed to a lounge outside the cemetery.

"Hello, I would like to inquire about someone."

Selena went to a window in the lounge, asking the drowsy person inside.

The man shook his head to dispel his sleepiness before looking up.

"What’s the matter?"

"Is there a Tomb Guardian named Henry Howard here?"

Henry Howard was the old butler’s new name after going into hiding.

Upon hearing Selena mention Henry Howard, the man pointed behind him, "Old Henry? He’s in the back; go find him yourself."

Selena glanced at the empty path beside them. After thanking the man, she and Hugh went over.

At the back of the lounge were the rooms for the cemetery’s Tomb Guardians.

As Selena and Hugh walked over, they were greeted by an old man.

"Excuse me, sir, could you tell us where Henry Howard lives?"

Hugh stopped the old man and asked.

The old man shook his head, "Old Henry? Just at the room at the end."

Hugh glanced at the room at the end.

"Thank you."

Afterward, they continued forward.

Until they arrived at the room at the end.

Selena took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

A slightly aged yet still full-bodied voice came from inside.

Then came the sound of footsteps.

The two exchanged glances, seeing the nervousness in each other’s eyes.

Then, the door opened.

An older man with white hair and a somewhat aged face appeared before them.

Seeing him, Selena’s eyes reddened slightly.

"Old Butler..."

The old butler was stunned there.

After a moment, he sighed deeply.

"You’ve come after all..."

He seemed to have anticipated this, slightly stepping aside, "Come in and talk."

Selena and Hugh walked in.

Once seated, Selena hastily said, "Old Butler, why did you..."

Before she could finish, the old butler interrupted her.

"Hush."

Selena paused, swallowing the words she was about to say.

The old butler sighed, taking out an iron box from a drawer nearby.

The box seemed quite old, with some paint peeling off.

He handed the box to the siblings.

"This is something your parents left for you."

The old butler said.

Selena took the box, a hint of shock flashed in her eyes.

What exactly had her father foreseen...

To prepare so many contingencies.

"Old Butler, do you know about what happened back then?"

Selena looked up and eagerly asked.

The old butler sighed again, "I left the Kensington Family ten years ago, going into hiding to become a Tomb Guardian here."

"To guard the things Coonor left behind and wait for your arrival."

"And yet, I very much hoped you wouldn’t need to come."
