Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 866: Chapter 866: Long Time No See, Cole Vaughn

The Qiongqi bloodline in the two little ones naturally destined them for greatness.

In the eyes of ordinary people, if elders spoil them like this, they might become sheltered and reckless, unfamiliar with the world.

But these two are different.

They quickly adapted to their environment, and even learned to adapt and absorb beneficial elements while still in their mother’s womb.

With this kind of growth, they won’t turn out bad.

They might even surpass their predecessors.

Afterward, Selena didn’t refuse.

The two little ones ended with a collection of precious gifts from Selena.

After the full moon feast, Samuel Dalton and Mrs. Anna returned home.

Selena gradually resumed her normal life.

But...

Selena remembered Grandma Jennings, who had gone back to take care of Timothy’s pregnant wife.

The elder had said she would definitely come to visit when Selena’s children were born.

However, during the full moon feast, when Selena called to ask if she had time to visit, it seemed there was something on her end, stating she would wait to see.

Selena didn’t think much of it, understanding that with a pregnant woman at home, it’s indeed hard to make time.

Especially since it’s a woman with a frail body, naturally requiring comprehensive care.

So, when the Jennings family didn’t come to the full moon feast, Selena wasn’t too surprised.

But... the full moon feast is over, yet there wasn’t even a greeting from the Jennings family.

Selena knew this didn’t match the conduct of the Jennings family.

Thus, after some consideration, Selena decided to call Grandma Jennings.

’Beep... Beep...’

The prolonged waiting sound made Selena have a foreboding feeling.

Finally, just as Selena’s patience was about to run out, the call connected.

"Grandma?"

Selena called somewhat uncertainly.

"...Selie."

After a long silence, Grandma Jennings finally spoke softly.

Her voice seemed to be filled with countless sighs.

Relieved to hear Grandma Jennings’s voice, Selena didn’t notice the slight oddity in her words.

"Grandma, how have you been lately?" Selena continued to ask.

This time, Grandma Jennings didn’t answer her.

After waiting for a while, Selena finally noticed something was off in Grandma Jennings’s previous voice, and she immediately tensed up.

"Grandma, is someone beside you?!" Selena asked alertly.

Afterward, Selena heard a familiar voice, "Long time no see."

"As you wished, I’m still alive."

His tone carried a weirdly ascending delight when he said the latter part.

"!..."

Selena recognized whose voice it was.

It’s Cole Vaughn.

Cole Vaughn wasn’t dead, and now he’s at the Jennings house...

Moreover, it’s likely that the whole Jennings family is now under the control of The Godsbane Organization.

No wonder... No wonder the Jennings family attitude was strange whenever she contacted them these days and they seemed reluctant to visit her.

Her heart was a bit flustered, but she quickly calmed down.

She quietly asked, "What do you want?!"

The Godsbane Organization wasn’t just simple wanting to control the Jennings family, their goal was likely her.

"It’s simple. Come to Oakhaven alone. The old master wants to see you."

Cole Vaughn didn’t beat around the bush and directly stated his intention.

Upon hearing Cole Vaughn’s words, Selena slightly frowned, her eyes faintly showing shock.

Vincent Sinclair, also in Oakhaven?

And he appeared at the Jennings house... No wonder the Jennings family didn’t make her notice anything amiss during previous calls.

After all, Vincent Sinclair was considered Grandma Jennings’s son-in-law, even if she’s shocked, without knowing Vincent Sinclair’s true identity, she wouldn’t act rashly.

Vincent Sinclair wants to see her, likely because of Esther Jennings.

However... since Esther Jennings prematurely saved her last time, she became very weak, if not for Selena’s last rejection, Esther Jennings would have vanished...

Thankfully she didn’t disappear, she’s just dormant within Selena’s consciousness, nourished by the Heavenly Master Power in Selena.

After contemplating for a while, Selena decided to accept.

Her voice slightly chilled, "Give me a few days, I’ll personally go to Oakhaven."

"Rest assured, I’m going alone."

The final statement was to assure Cole Vaughn.

"Better be so."

Cole Vaughn finished speaking and hung up the call.

After hanging up, he returned the phone to Grandma Jennings.

Grandma Jennings helplessly took the phone, then raised her head to look at the person sitting across from her.

The seemingly youthful and handsome face carried the calmness and warmth of years in his eyes.

Grandma Jennings sighed silently, slowly starting to speak, "Uncle... You shouldn’t involve Selie."

Vincent Sinclair slightly curved his lips, his gaze remaining gentle, yet the smile didn’t reach his eyes.

"Selene, you’ve aged."

Luna Jennings was Grandma Jennings’s name.

Upon hearing this long-unheard name, Grandma Jennings’s eyes paused.

She seemed to remember something, a look of nostalgia and longing in her eyes.

She murmured softly, "Yes, you all remained at the most beautiful age..."

Upon hearing Grandma Jennings say this, Vincent Sinclair remained silent.

Yet a hint of resentful hatred flashed in his eyes.

On his face, it revealed a slight madness.

Meanwhile, Selena, who hung up the phone, still felt a bit confused inside.

Cole Vaughn and Vincent Sinclair appearing at this time, what exactly is their intention...

But since they didn’t dare show up in Aethelgard again, it indicates the Norwood Family exerted considerable pressure on them.

Forcing them to retreat, using the Jennings family to lure her over.

But regardless, Selena must make a trip.

Saving the Jennings family and visiting her cousin’s wife are one of the matters.

As long as this time she sees Vincent Sinclair, clears up the matters from decades ago, letting Esther Jennings meet him, then she wouldn’t have the regret within her.

After that, it would only be their showdown.

Selena sighed slightly, let’s use this opportunity to resolve the matters weighing emotionally on her heart.

But before that, Selena needs to figure out how to awaken the dormant Esther Jennings.

Seeking help from the Jennings family is impossible now.

Given Vincent Sinclair is currently at the Jennings family, if he learns Esther Jennings fell asleep, who knows if he’d take his anger out on the Jennings family.

Selena contemplated further and decided to call Miles Goodman.

Regarding this matter, Miles Goodman knows more than she does.

While Selena was deep in thought, Sterling Norwood walked in from outside.

Upon entering, he saw his wife in deep and serious thought, even the two little ones waving their hands to attract her attention couldn’t wake her from her reverie.
