Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 887: Chapter 887: A New Character Appears

Those next to her were startled by Selena Kensington’s sudden words and instinctively looked in the same direction she was gazing.

Selena Kensington confirmed she hadn’t mistaken what she saw, and immediately looked at Hope Norwood after speaking.

"Hope."

Hope Norwood nodded slightly.

Without any extra words, she immediately sprinted toward the direction Selena Kensington had just been gazing at.

Hugh Kensington frowned slightly due to Selena’s reaction, "Sis, did you see something?"

Selena Kensington nodded slightly, then looked towards the construction team.

Her voice was slightly cold, "After this city was abandoned, has no one been managing it?"

The construction team exchanged glances, with no one daring to speak for a moment.

Finally, the chief engineer stepped forward and sighed, "Ever since Evernight City announced closure, consecutive months of losses made the developers unwilling to even pay for routine maintenance, and since then, this once bustling city attraction turned into a ghost town."

"If it weren’t for you all buying this place, and the developers hiring people to clean the city overnight, what you might have seen today is just desolation."

The construction team naturally didn’t want to see the city they built with their own hands become an empty city, a dead city.

But they also knew, reaching this point, the attraction developers were perhaps in even more pain than they were.

Selena Kensington’s voice rose slightly, "So, do you not even know when an ’unexpected intruder’ arrived in this city?"

Upon hearing Selena Kensington’s words, the people present gradually realized something.

The chief engineer hesitated to speak, "Do you mean that you just saw someone else in this city?"

Selena Kensington nodded slightly.

The figure she saw just now was indeed a person.

However, it was a small child.

The construction team exchanged glances.

After all, they didn’t know how to explain this.

Because this city was indeed abandoned, and the gate was shut. But when the city was first built, there were plenty of hidden paths and some backdoors left.

But they were all located in concealed places, and even the construction team would need to consult maps to find them.

So, what kind of person could sneak in here quietly, and possibly have been living here for a long time?

Hope Norwood returned after a few minutes, bringing back a young boy.

Selena Kensington narrowed her eyes slightly upon seeing the young boy.

She now confirmed that the figure she saw earlier was indeed this young boy.

The young boy wore old clothes, his hair was slightly long, and his dark hair nearly covered his eyes.

But Selena would not ignore his eyes.

Because within those dark eyes, there seemed to be a trace of fierceness and hostility.

Selena Kensington’s gaze moved slightly downward, and she was stunned.

Because the young boy’s neck bore a strange, peculiar tattoo. It appeared as ancient and intricate as a curse seal, now appearing on the young boy’s neck.

Such similar tattoos, Selena Kensington had only seen on the guards of the Mayfield family.

But the tattoo on the young boy was completely different from the ones on the Mayfield family.

His tattoo made Selena Kensington inexplicably feel a strong sense of oppression, a dark aura.

When Hope Norwood brought the young boy over, he even resisted.

But given his young age, coupled with Hope Norwood being trained and an exceptional Hidden Guard of the Norwood family.

Thus, the young boy eventually had to let Hope bring him over.

Others were somewhat surprised when they saw the young boy appear.

"This..."

"There really is someone here?!"

"How did this child get in?"

Hope Norwood brought the young boy before Selena Kensington, and she heard a slight fluctuation in her tone for the first time.

With slight excitement, Hope said, "Madam, this young boy is a rare martial arts prodigy."

Selena Kensington looked at Hope Norwood in surprise, as it was the first time she’d seen Hope show such interest in someone.

Selena Kensington crouched down in front of the young boy.

She wanted to reach out and brush away the hair covering the boy’s forehead, but the boy warily stepped back.

That gaze... how could one describe it?

It was like the gaze of a wolf, fierce and alert.

Selena paused, then retracted her hand.

She smiled gently and calmly at the young boy, "We mean no harm to you, don’t be nervous."

The young boy pressed his lips together, ignoring Selena Kensington.

Selena wasn’t bothered. She continued asking the boy, "Young friend, where did you come from? Why are you here?"

The young boy still ignored her.

Beside her, Hugh Kensington came forward, his voice curious, "Sis, the tattoo on his neck..."

Upon Hugh Kensington’s words, the young boy suddenly turned his head, staring intently at Hugh, and the fierce light in his eyes made Hugh stop.

"This child’s eyes..." Hugh murmured.

These eyes were not typical of an ordinary child.

Moreover, if he were from a regular household, how could he have ended up here?

And besides, looking at his clothing, it seemed he had been here for quite some time...

Selena Kensington leisurely gazed at the tattoo on the boy’s neck.

But just as she was about to speak again, the chief engineer from the construction team suddenly spoke up, "Miss Kensington, stay away from him! This boy is not an ordinary person!"

"He... he’s from The Gritu Tribe!" When the chief engineer spoke these words, his voice gradually tinged with fear.

Upon hearing ’Gritu,’ the young boy’s struggle grew more intense, nearly making it impossible for Hope Norwood to hold him.

Selena Kensington was surprised to hear the chief engineer’s words, The Gritu Tribe?

What’s their existence?

But Selena didn’t immediately ask the chief engineer this question, instead attempting to calm the agitated boy.

"Did we remind you of something unhappy? Sorry, we just want to know your origin..."

Perhaps because Selena was already a mother of two, she couldn’t help but soothe and approach young children.

Selena’s voice was gentle and soothing, making it easy for people to be comforted.

Plus, people do tend to favor those who are attractive.

So after the young boy struggled fiercely for a while, listening to Selena’s words, he stared at her for quite some time.

After hesitating for a moment, eventually, he calmed his struggle.

"Miss Kensington..." The chief engineer voiced some concerns.

Selena turned her head, gently shook her head at him.

Upon seeing Selena’s hint, the chief engineer paused, ultimately letting out a helpless sigh.
