Chapter 624: Damien Sinclair
Chapter 624: Damien Sinclair
Selena Kensington turned her head upon hearing a sound.
Then she saw Samuel Dalton, Hope Norwood, and some members of the Colombo Family standing not far from her position.
Samuel Dalton and Hope Norwood breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Selena seated there safely.
The two approached her.
Selena, with an apologetic tone, said to them, "I was just pushed away by those people. I wanted to go back to find you, but I ended up getting farther away..."
Samuel Dalton pursed his lips slightly and shook his head as he approached, "As long as you’re okay."
Then, his scrutinizing gaze turned to Damien Sinclair opposite Selena.
"Who is this gentleman?"
Selena explained, "This is Mr. Sinclair, he just helped me."
Samuel Dalton nodded slightly at Damien Sinclair, "Thank you, Mr. Sinclair."
Damien Sinclair remained unfazed, facing Samuel Dalton’s intense gaze and exuding presence with composure.
"It was a small effort, and Miss Kensington and I seemed to have a connection."
Damien Sinclair said with a smile.
Samuel Dalton’s mouth formed a slight curve upon hearing this.
Yet, there was no genuine amusement in his eyes.
The man in front of him gave off a dangerous vibe.
Samuel Dalton, moving within gray areas, naturally understood that the seemingly harmless people were often the most dangerous.
Seeing Samuel Dalton and Hope Norwood arrive, Selena didn’t stay much longer.
She stood up.
"Mr. Sinclair, since my brother has come for me, I won’t linger. Thank you for the milk."
Damien Sinclair smiled at Selena, "We have a connection, surely we will meet again."
"Then I’ll look forward to it."
Selena felt somewhat uneasy about the way Damien Sinclair looked at her.
But upon closer examination, she found Damien’s gaze to be gentle.
The look he gave her seemed all-encompassing.
She furrowed her brow slightly without a trace.
Then she left the cozy café with Samuel Dalton.
After Samuel Dalton and Selena left, a woman walked out of the café.
Her hair was dyed fiery red and curled, but her face bore a cold expression.
She walked straight over, standing in front of Damien Sinclair.
She lowered her gaze slightly to look at Damien.
Her red lips parted slightly, "Grandfather."
If Selena were still there, she would surely be surprised by this red-haired woman’s address.
Damien Sinclair did not respond to her, only looking at the spot opposite.
There, the milk Selena had yet to finish drinking remained.
His gaze was fixed on the cup of hot milk, as if he were looking at someone through it.
Suddenly, Damien Sinclair raised a gentle smile.
This smile was real, warm, and tender.
"She really resembles her..."
Damien Sinclair sighed softly.
After uttering these words, his expression collected itself.
It was as if the earlier tenderness was merely an illusion.
"How’s the situation on Alessio’s side?"
Damien Sinclair asked casually.
The red-haired woman’s eyes flashed fiercely, "He crossed paths with The Beast Lord, and we lost two experimental subjects."
Damien Sinclair’s eyes showed a hint of displeasure.
"Did I not tell him to avoid clashing with The Beast Lord?"
However, after saying this, his expression softened somewhat.
"Yet, his medium stands against his foe, it’s normal he would be angered..."
"This is good too, we can gauge The Beast Lord’s capability."
Damien Sinclair murmured, his eyes sparkling with inexplicable light.
If Sterling Norwood hadn’t interfered, Selena would be one of theirs by now!
Nonetheless, it doesn’t matter...
She will return to them sooner or later.
"The person by her side earlier was Alessio Colombo."
"One of our hideouts is still under his control."
The red-haired woman said coldly.
But Damien Sinclair showed little concern for this issue, instead showing interest, "Then let them investigate."
"The darkness should replace their so-called God..."
As Damien Sinclair said this, his eyes flickered with a crazed obsession.
As if he had fallen into some frantic state.
"Beatrix, you should return home."
"That pawn should be utilized."
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly changed his tone.
His words turned icy, imbued with a sense of impending slaughter.
His plan had to be hastened because Selena was pregnant.
"Yes."
Zoe Sinclair responded respectfully.
Her eyes filled with cold ambition and desire.

Meanwhile, after Selena and Samuel Dalton left, Samuel Dalton asked her about Damien Sinclair.
"Sister."
"How did you come across Mr. Sinclair?"
Samuel Dalton asked casually.
"Hmm?"
"After I got lost, I noticed he was looking at me without hostility, so I thought to borrow his phone."
Selena replied.
After saying this, she turned to glance at Samuel Dalton, "Do you suspect him?"
Samuel Dalton neither confirmed nor denied.
"Perhaps I’m overthinking..."
Though the person gave him a dangerous feeling, he didn’t detect any signs of martial prowess on him.
"What are they doing over there?"
Selena pointed to a street across from them.
Many people were gathered there.
They were all gazing ahead, yet there was only the dark coastal view.
Samuel Dalton followed her direction, "The viewing platform."
"There will be a fireworks display soon."
"If you’d like to watch, I can take you to another place."
Since the fireworks display attracts a crowd, Samuel Dalton worries that the same incident might happen again, and he doesn’t wish to bring Selena to crowded places.
Selena nodded slightly, "Okay."
Then Samuel Dalton took Selena to a spacious viewing platform.
The surroundings were lively with street scenes, yet except for this viewing platform, guarded by several people at the entrance.
No visitor dared to enter.
When Selena saw the Colombo Family crest hanging at the platform’s entrance, she understood why no tourist dared to enter.
This was the territory of the Colombo Family.
When Samuel Dalton and Selena arrived at the viewing platform’s entrance, Colombo Family members respectfully saluted, "Young Master."
Then they opened the entrance to the platform.
Selena followed Samuel Dalton inside.
Upon reaching the top of the platform, they noticed many relaxing sofas and tables placed inside...
The platform was not equipped with high railings, so even sitting on the sofa, Selena could see the coastline not far away.
Selena and Samuel Dalton went inside and sat on the sofa.
While Hope Norwood and the Colombo Family guards stood vigil at the entrance.
Samuel Dalton glanced at Selena, noticing her wearing a slightly thin dress, he called Alan over and gave instructions.
Alan replied and left.
After a while, Alan returned with a shawl.
"Sister, the wind here is a bit strong, wrap this around you to avoid catching a cold."
Samuel Dalton said thoughtfully.
"Okay."
Selena smiled, accepting Samuel Dalton’s kind gesture.
After Alan handed over the shawl, he withdrew.
Once Selena had wrapped herself in the shawl, countless fireworks began to bloom over the distant coast.
