Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 699: Aren’t You Bold Giving Dating Advice When You’ve Been Single Since Birth

Indeed, Roxanne Sutton suddenly appearing at the engagement dinner, although she only aimed at Catherine Blanchett, in Sidney Dalton’s view, Roxanne couldn’t possibly just leave him alone.

Although Sidney didn’t take Roxanne seriously either, at this moment, Roxanne’s backing was Selena Kensington.

So as long as Roxanne spoke up, Sidney would see her no matter what.

"Alright then, I’ll ask Lark Mayfield, and if she agrees, you can arrange for Sidney to meet."

Selena had already made up her mind.

Roxanne had no objections either.

Just before leaving, she suddenly turned back to ask Selena a question.

"If you get the evidence from the safe, what will you do?"

Selena saw the expression in Roxanne’s eyes and understood.

But she didn’t answer Roxanne immediately.

Instead, she looked at her with an ambiguous smile.

Roxanne was watched by Selena for a moment, then slightly pressed her lips "I’m not trying to shield him; I just want to know what his final outcome will be."

At this point, Roxanne could no longer discern whether she still held affection for Sidney or if it was just the resentment for the youth she had spent.

If there was any affection, when Selena proposed dealing with Sidney, Roxanne found her heart quite calm.

So calm that now even if something happened to Sidney, she wouldn’t care.

She didn’t know when the love in her heart had gradually faded away.

Before, she had always insisted, not only out of habit; another important reason was that she didn’t want to face the truth.

But now, she had no choice but to admit.

That deep down, she no longer had love for Sidney.

Her return was due to unwillingness.

Unwilling to have lost just like that, along with her youth.

Her wish to know Sidney’s final outcome was merely to see how her youth had been squandered.

Selena spoke slowly "Once I get the evidence, I’ll hand it over to the Security Bureau, and as for his fate, that will be for them to decide."

Hearing Selena’s words, Roxanne inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

Having the Security Bureau handle it is better than having the Norwood family take control.

"Thank you."

Roxanne said solemnly.

After speaking, she turned and left.

She seemed unwilling to show her vulnerable side to someone she once saw as an enemy.

Annelise Mayfield felt somewhat puzzled, scratched the back of her head, glanced at the departing Roxanne, and promptly said to Selena, "Sister Kensington, we’ll head out first!"

Having said that, Annelise hurriedly went after her.

Selena watched Annelise and Roxanne leave, and only after their figures disappeared from the front of the main house did she retract her gaze.

She pondered the last question Roxanne had asked.

And suddenly sighed.

Regarding Roxanne, she always had a negative impression.

After all, Roxanne’s past actions and what she had done to her in a past life were enough to keep Selena from being indifferent to her.

Especially with this matter, Selena had already included Roxanne, Catherine, and Sidney from the start.

When Sidney got into trouble, it was impossible for Roxanne to be unscathed.

So Selena never intended to give Roxanne a good outcome from the beginning.

Even in the past few days, Roxanne’s behavior surprised her a bit, but Selena had never thought of letting her go.

The seeds she planted had now come to bear fruit.

Perhaps because Roxanne had suddenly awakened during this period.

All the goodwill left in her heart was reserved for Annelise.

Besides that, Selena had nothing else that could excuse her.

With a final glance outside the main house, Selena turned and returned inside.

Once inside the main house, Selena picked up the phone and dialed Miles Goodman.

"He’s busy; what’s up."

The call was answered by Lark Mayfield.

Selena didn’t expect Lark to pick up the phone, her brows raised slightly at the words.

But since it was Lark, it saved Miles from having to relay the message.

"I’m not looking for him; I’m looking for you."

Selena cut straight to the point.

"I’d like you to do me a favor by using your skills to control someone and get something."

Lark did not respond to Selena immediately.

From the other end of the phone, Selena seemed to hear Lark discussing something with Miles.

It seemed Lark wanted to take Miles out on an outing, but Miles was clueless about where to have fun in Aethelgard.

After all, despite living in Aethelgard for so long, he’d mostly spent his time around the mountainous and watery regions.

Researching places for couples to go on dates was not his forte either.

Selena listened to their bits and pieces of conversation, then Lark’s voice became clear "Why should I help you."

The voice was calm and serene.

Because of Miles and the Rivers Family’s relationship, Lark no longer maintained her usual icy, high-and-mighty demeanor.

Selena recalled their earlier talk and chuckled "Were you discussing date ideas?"

"What if I said I could give you reference material?"

"..."

Lark fell silent instantly.

And Selena wasn’t in a hurry, leisurely waiting for Lark’s response.

"...Deal."

A minute later, Lark’s voice sounded.

She didn’t ask Selena specifically what the task was, why she needed her to control someone, or what the aim was.

To Lark, her current skills were strong enough that she didn’t need to worry about not being able to control anyone.

Even if there were challenges, under her strong offense, anyone’s psychological defenses would be breached.

What Selena’s intentions were, she wasn’t concerned.

Selena chuckled.

She quite appreciated Lark’s straightforward and unquestioning attitude.

Afterward, she ended the call with Lark, they added each other on WeChat, and Selena asked Lark to hold on a moment.

Selena exited the chat with Lark on WeChat and found the one with Sterling Norwood.

[Selie Stays Slim]: Honey, could you forward me those links Silvester sent you during our first date?

Selena suddenly brought these up as she remembered the incident when Sterling got sabotaged by Silas Sinclair.

After finding out that Sterling would read a book like "Overbearing President’s Pursuit of Love," she naturally knew who had recommended it to him.

Curious, she went to Silvester to find out more.

Hence, she discovered that Silvester had not only recommended this book but had also planned their first date.

Many times, Silvester was behind the scenes, coaching Sterling in his romantic ventures.

Back then, Selena "..."

You, a lifelong single, dare to teach.

And Sterling actually listened to those strategies.

Luckily, their dates had never gone wrong all this while.
