Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 603: The Mayfield Family’s Abilities

When Selena Kensington was in university, she dreamed that one day she could attend the Corinthia Film Festival as a director.

Hugh Kensington didn’t hear a sound from Selena, so he knew that she hadn’t thought about these things.

He let out a slight sigh.

"There’s still half a month left, discuss it with your husband."

There’s half a month’s buffer time...

Selena nodded gently, "Alright, I got it."

She must make Sterling Norwood less tense about her in these two weeks.

"Then take a good rest, I’ll handle the other matters."

"Okay."

Selena was already pregnant, so Hugh naturally wouldn’t bother her with those things anymore.

She just needs to focus on nurturing her pregnancy.

After hanging up the phone, Selena continued watching TV.

However, she hadn’t watched for long before Sterling Norwood returned.

Behind him were Spencer Norwood and... Annelise Mayfield.

Seeing Annelise Mayfield appear at the Norwood Family’s house, Selena was surprised for a while.

But upon seeing Annelise’s timid appearance, afraid to look at Sterling Norwood, Selena understood.

Sterling Norwood thought the reason she fainted was because of Annelise Mayfield?

However...

Selena recalled the images and thoughts that appeared when she looked into Annelise’s eyes, making her uncertain.

Perhaps Annelise Mayfield indeed holds answers she needs...

Thinking this, Selena wasn’t in a hurry to speak.

Upon entering and seeing Selena, Annelise hurriedly spoke, "I really don’t know why you fainted... "

Annelise truly didn’t know how to explain.

She never thought of harming Selena in such a way.

But she herself couldn’t understand what had happened yesterday.

She knew the abilities of her eyes, but normally they had no negative effects on ordinary people.

But why did things change with Selena?

Annelise was puzzled.

Sterling Norwood walked over.

"I’ve told you before, the Mayfield family’s characteristic is in their eyes, the stronger the lineage in the body, the more dangerous their eyes are."

Sterling spoke as he approached.

Selena nodded, "Yes, I remember."

Then she pointed at Annelise, "You mean she attacked me?"

"Ah ah ah, it really wasn’t me!!!"

"I may have hostility towards you, but I’ve never thought about harming you!"

The girl stomped her foot anxiously, yet seemed to fear Sterling Norwood, unwilling to say much more.

Sterling ignored Annelise and spoke to Selena.

"Annelise Mayfield, second branch of the Mayfield family, she’s currently second to Lark Mayfield in the family lineage."

So, Sterling suspected Annelise might have attacked Selena during filming without any valid reason.

Seeing Selena fall silent, Annelise ignored Sterling and hurriedly spoke.

"Although I’m second only to my aunt in lineage, my eye’s ability has no adverse effects on ordinary people."

Selena’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"What if I say I have the Heavenly Master Bloodline?"

Annelise reflexively rebutted, "That’s even less possible!"

"In the Ancient Wilds era, the Nine-Tailed Fox was a symbol of auspice on earth, so humans didn’t reject us very much."

"Besides, the Heavenly Master Bloodline itself possesses the power to purify filth, so my ability shouldn’t have such a significant impact on you!"

Annelise spoke confidently.

Selena carefully studied the expressions on Annelise’s face.

Unashamed, Annelise allowed Selena to scrutinize her to prove her innocence.

After a few glances, Selena withdrew her gaze.

"She’s not lying."

She said to Sterling Norwood.

Upon hearing Selena’s words, Annelise visibly relaxed.

Spencer Norwood frowned slightly, "Could it be because my sister-in-law agitated her pregnancy yesterday?"

Otherwise, why would Selena suddenly faint?

Sterling Norwood frowned slightly, remaining silent.

Annelise, stunned, asked incredulously, "You’re pregnant?!"

"But..."

Annelise seemingly remembered something, murmuring softly.

Spencer Norwood glared at her sharply, "If you’re hiding anything, you better spill it."

Upon hearing Spencer’s words, Annelise drew back her neck, "Why be so fierce..."

Before Spencer’s increasingly dangerous gaze, Annelise hurriedly spoke.

"I remember that the women of the Clan of Celestial Masters, after becoming pregnant, their Heavenly Master Power becomes unstable, and their body functions decline. Moreover, you’re bearing The Beast Lord’s child..."

"....I’m afraid the Heavenly Master Power within you will flood into this newborn."

Annelise spoke cautiously.

Without the protection of the Heavenly Master Power, the immune system of female Heavenly Masters declines.

"But even so, my ability shouldn’t negatively affect you..."

Annelise thought through these troubling questions and shook her head.

Selena and Sterling Norwood exchanged glances.

Selena knew that the sensation she felt yesterday wasn’t merely due to pregnancy agitation.

She pondered for a moment, then asked, "Can I know the ability of your eyes?"

Annelise hesitated, then nodded.

"My eye’s ability leans more towards a kind of enchantment."

"It can lure people to unconsciously follow my gaze, become enthralled by me..."

This is the ability left by the Nine-Tailed Fox to its descendants.

Become enthralled by her...

Selena frowned slightly.

Then why did she feel her inner malice seemed ready to burst out?

She didn’t feel any sense of enthrallment at all.

"Are you sure that’s the only sensation?"

Selena asked uncertainly once more.

Annelise shrugged, "To me, I can only achieve this much."

"Wait..."

Annelise seemed to have thought of something, her eyes widened suddenly.

Despite Sterling Norwood’s warning glance, she hurriedly approached Selena.

"Could it be, you feel something else?"

Annelise’s tone carried traces of urgency and uncertainty.

Selena stopped Sterling from intervening, looking at Annelise.

"Yes."

"Such intense negative emotions erupted, influencing my thoughts, my consciousness..."

As Selena spoke, she felt Sterling Norwood’s grip tighten slightly around her hand.

Selena withdrew her gaze from Annelise, gently patting the back of Sterling’s hand to calm him.

This was something she had long come to terms with.

Her past life, the suicide attempts she experienced were worse than what she went through yesterday.

She was long accustomed to this.

"How can this be..."

Annelise murmured, disbelievingly.

"What do you mean ’possibly’?"

Selena calmly raised an eyebrow.

Annelise suddenly lifted her head to look at her, shocked, "You’ve been planted with enchantment seeds?!"

"..."

Upon Annelise’s words, the room fell silent.

Selena didn’t know what these enchantment seeds were, but Sterling clearly did.

Thus Selena looked at Sterling Norwood.
