Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 501: Blocked on All Sides

After Hope Norwood left, Selena Kensington carefully scrutinized the white pointed-roof building ahead.

It was sealed tightly.

Two Hidden Guards were guarding the entrance, and it seemed identity verification was required to enter.

Even the windows of the building were heavily concealed, with what appeared to be electrical currents running over them.

After a glance, Selena looked away, pondering that if Sterling Norwood were truly inside, Spencer Norwood wouldn’t have made such remarks.

So...

Selena abruptly shifted her gaze to the jungle behind the training camp.

Her intuition told her that Sterling would be there.

Selena glanced at the Hidden Guards still training, then proceeded into the jungle.

Meanwhile, as Hope was training, she noticed Selena’s departing figure and immediately said, "Madam is heading towards the jungle."

A Bluetooth earphone hung from her ear.

Shortly after Selena walked over, she encountered Dr. Norwood.

"Madam? What brings you here?"

Dr. Norwood seemed to call out questioningly.

Upon seeing him, Selena’s eyes grew ever deeper.

But her face betrayed little emotion.

"Ah, I was waiting for A-Jing, got a bit bored, and thought I’d come to see Auwu."

Auwu was a wild leopard Selena encountered the first time she came to the jungle with Sterling.

"Auwu?"

It seemed to be Dr. Norwood’s first time hearing this name, and the smile on his face deepened.

He asked a question.

Selena nodded, "Yes, it’s a wild leopard from the jungle, it’s very tame."

"..."

Hearing Selena’s words, Dr. Norwood’s lips twitched slightly.

A wild leopard?

If he recalled correctly, the only one that survived after the jungle skirmish was a solitary wild leopard.

This leopard was exceptionally ferocious, intolerant to others, so after much fighting, only it remained in the jungle.

Yet... Selena not only called it tame but also named it?!

Dr. Norwood gave a gentle cough, "Ahem, Madam, the jungle is exceptionally dangerous, it’s better for you to play elsewhere."

Just as Dr. Norwood finished speaking, the jungle suddenly resounded with the roar of a wild beast accompanied by a call of "Auwu!~".

Clearly, it was the very call of the wild leopard Selena was talking about.

Selena gave Dr. Norwood a long, meaningful look.

"Yes, it’s quite dangerous."

Dr. Norwood was about to say, since it’s dangerous, why not play elsewhere?

In the next moment, Selena declared, "But the first time I came, A-Jing told me that the beasts in the jungle wouldn’t harm me."

On the contrary, they would approach her, show respect.

Even the wild leopard, which seemed viciously ferocious in Dr. Norwood’s eyes, lowered its head easily before Selena.

Dr. Norwood was at a loss for words.

Indeed, if it were Selena, those beasts wouldn’t harm her.

After all, she bore the mark of The Beast Lord on her.

Being The Beast Lord’s wife, her status equates with the Beast Lord’s.

They share authority and status.

So, how could those beasts dare harm Selena?

Despite this, Dr. Norwood still intended to prevent Selena.

"There are ongoing training exercises inside, Madam, it might be inappropriate this time."

Dr. Norwood thought for a moment, coming up with another reason.

But this time, Selena wasn’t going to waste more time with him.

From the moment the jungle echoed with wild beast roars and the call of Auwu, Selena realized that this wasn’t a simple matter of losing control.

Her face turned stern, "Dr. Norwood, stop hiding from me, I’ve already guessed it."

"A-Jing is inside, right?"

"And he’s possibly already lost his rationality."

Selena accurately guessed Sterling Norwood’s situation, causing Dr. Norwood to widen his eyes instinctively.

This instinctive response confirmed Selena’s suspicions.

It seemed her guess was correct.

"Dr. Norwood, you know well, during previous times when A-Jing lost control, it was me who calmed him. I can do it this time too."

Dr. Norwood pressed his lips together, not answering Selena.

In all fairness, he did place his hopes on Selena.

But he dared not risk Selena’s safety; he couldn’t be certain of the jungle’s current condition.

Because Spencer had led his team in nearly half an hour ago.

The danger level was uncertain as well.

Seeing Dr. Norwood’s hesitant look, Selena continued, "Spencer went in too, didn’t he?"

Dr. Norwood suddenly lifted his eyes, "How do you know?!"

Selena sighed slightly.

She didn’t see Spencer upon entering, raising curiosity.

Coupling recent happenings, it was easy to deduce.

Spencer went in to find Sterling.

"Still unwilling to tell me?"

Selena stared calmly at Dr. Norwood.

From her calm demeanor, Dr. Norwood sensed a trace of unyielding authority.

He smiled bitterly.

"The Family Head’s animal instincts were aroused, he’s lost all reason, he hasn’t left the jungle since entering."

Upon hearing Dr. Norwood’s words, Selena intended to enter the jungle.

But Dr. Norwood blocked her path.

"Madam, you can’t go in."

"Spencer led the second team, if they can’t bring the Family Head back, I’m afraid... "

I’m afraid Sterling has truly lost all rationality.

He’s turned into a beast, driven solely by primal instincts.

This version of Sterling, Dr. Norwood dare not allow Selena to encounter.

"Dr. Norwood, trust me, I can bring him back!"

Selena earnestly appealed to Dr. Norwood.

This time, Dr. Norwood did not heed Selena’s words.

"Madam, I must refuse."

Selena gritted her teeth, just as she was about to slip in stealthily, Sean Norwood led the Norwood family’s Hidden Guards to intercept her.

"Lady, you cannot enter."

Sean stood in front of the Hidden Guards, his expression stern.

Selena glanced at the row of Hidden Guards.

Their faces were indifferent, eyes fixed on Selena.

Lest she slips in accidentally. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Her eyes narrowed slightly, voice tinged with hostility, "You want to stop me?"

Sean’s expression remained unchanged, "We wouldn’t dare, but given the situation, we ask you not to put us in a difficult position."

"Once the Family Head is brought out, we will accept any punishment."

The Norwood family’s first rule is unconditional obedience to the Norwood bloodline.

Selena chuckled coldly, "If I can’t change your mind, then surely this can!"

After speaking, Selena revealed the Blood Jade Bracelet on her wrist.

It was the first time Selena used the Blood Jade Bracelet since Sterling gave it to her.

Just prior, to prevent the Norwood family from restricting her movements over safety concerns, she retrieved it from the bedroom to wear it, a decision proving useful now.

As Selena exposed the Blood Jade Bracelet, the howl from the jungle seemed to sense something, and swiftly moved towards the jungle’s edge.

The Norwood family halted their actions immediately upon seeing the Blood Jade Bracelet on Selena’s hand.
