After Hope Norwood left, Selena Kensington carefully scrutinized the white pointed-roof building ahead.
It was sealed tightly.
Two Hidden Guards were guarding the entrance, and it seed identity verification was required to enter.
Even the windows of the building were heavily concealed, with what appeared to be electrical currents running over them.
After a glance, Selena looked away, pondering that if Sterling Norwood were truly inside, Spencer Norwood wouldn’t have made such remarks.
So...
Selena abruptly shifted her gaze to the jungle behind the training camp.
Her intuition told her that Sterling would be there.
Selena glanced at the Hidden Guards still training, then proceeded into the jungle.
anwhile, as Hope was training, she noticed Selena’s departing figure and imdiately said, "Madam is heading towards the jungle."
A Bluetooth earphone hung from her ear.
Shortly after Selena walked over, she encountered Dr. Norwood.
"Madam? What brings you here?"
Dr. Norwood seed to call out questioningly.
Upon seeing him, Selena’s eyes grew ever deeper.
But her face betrayed little emotion.
"Ah, I was waiting for A-Jing, got a bit bored, and thought I’d co to see Auwu."
Auwu was a wild leopard Selena encountered the first ti she ca to the jungle with Sterling.
"Auwu?"
It seed to be Dr. Norwood’s first ti hearing this na, and the smile on his face deepened.
He asked a question.
Selena nodded, "Yes, it’s a wild leopard from the jungle, it’s very ta."
"..."
Hearing Selena’s words, Dr. Norwood’s lips twitched slightly.
A wild leopard?
If he recalled correctly, the only one that survived after the jungle skirmish was a solitary wild leopard.
This leopard was exceptionally ferocious, intolerant to others, so after much fighting, only it remained in the jungle.
Yet... Selena not only called it ta but also nad it?!
Dr. Norwood gave a gentle cough, "Ahem, Madam, the jungle is exceptionally dangerous, it’s better for you to play elsewhere."
Just as Dr. Norwood finished speaking, the jungle suddenly resounded with the roar of a wild beast accompanied by a call of "Auwu!~".
Clearly, it was the very call of the wild leopard Selena was talking about.
Selena gave Dr. Norwood a long, aningful look.
"Yes, it’s quite dangerous."
Dr. Norwood was about to say, since it’s dangerous, why not play elsewhere?
In the next mont, Selena declared, "But the first ti I ca, A-Jing told that the beasts in the jungle wouldn’t harm ."
On the contrary, they would approach her, show respect.
Even the wild leopard, which seed viciously ferocious in Dr. Norwood’s eyes, lowered its head easily before Selena.
Dr. Norwood was at a loss for words.
Indeed, if it were Selena, those beasts wouldn’t harm her.
After all, she bore the mark of The Beast Lord on her.
Being The Beast Lord’s wife, her status equates with the Beast Lord’s.
They share authority and status.
So, how could those beasts dare harm Selena?
Despite this, Dr. Norwood still intended to prevent Selena.
"There are ongoing training exercises inside, Madam, it might be inappropriate this ti."
Dr. Norwood thought for a mont, coming up with another reason.
But this ti, Selena wasn’t going to waste more ti with him.
From the mont the jungle echoed with wild beast roars and the call of Auwu, Selena realized that this wasn’t a simple matter of losing control.
Her face turned stern, "Dr. Norwood, stop hiding from , I’ve already guessed it."
"A-Jing is inside, right?"
"And he’s possibly already lost his rationality."
Selena accurately guessed Sterling Norwood’s situation, causing Dr. Norwood to widen his eyes instinctively.
This instinctive response confird Selena’s suspicions.
It seed her guess was correct.
"Dr. Norwood, you know well, during previous tis when A-Jing lost control, it was who cald him. I can do it this ti too."
Dr. Norwood pressed his lips together, not answering Selena.
In all fairness, he did place his hopes on Selena.
But he dared not risk Selena’s safety; he couldn’t be certain of the jungle’s current condition.
Because Spencer had led his team in nearly half an hour ago.
The danger level was uncertain as well.
Seeing Dr. Norwood’s hesitant look, Selena continued, "Spencer went in too, didn’t he?"
Dr. Norwood suddenly lifted his eyes, "How do you know?!"
Selena sighed slightly.
She didn’t see Spencer upon entering, raising curiosity.
Coupling recent happenings, it was easy to deduce.
Spencer went in to find Sterling.
"Still unwilling to tell ?"
Selena stared calmly at Dr. Norwood.
From her calm deanor, Dr. Norwood sensed a trace of unyielding authority.
He smiled bitterly.
"The Family Head’s animal instincts were aroused, he’s lost all reason, he hasn’t left the jungle since entering."
Upon hearing Dr. Norwood’s words, Selena intended to enter the jungle.
But Dr. Norwood blocked her path.
"Madam, you can’t go in."
"Spencer led the second team, if they can’t bring the Family Head back, I’m afraid... "
I’m afraid Sterling has truly lost all rationality.
He’s turned into a beast, driven solely by primal instincts.
This version of Sterling, Dr. Norwood dare not allow Selena to encounter.
"Dr. Norwood, trust , I can bring him back!"
Selena earnestly appealed to Dr. Norwood.
This ti, Dr. Norwood did not heed Selena’s words.
"Madam, I must refuse."
Selena gritted her teeth, just as she was about to slip in stealthily, Sean Norwood led the Norwood family’s Hidden Guards to intercept her.
"Lady, you cannot enter."
Sean stood in front of the Hidden Guards, his expression stern.
Selena glanced at the row of Hidden Guards.
Their faces were indifferent, eyes fixed on Selena.
Lest she slips in accidentally.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, voice tinged with hostility, "You want to stop ?"
Sean’s expression remained unchanged, "We wouldn’t dare, but given the situation, we ask you not to put us in a difficult position."
"Once the Family Head is brought out, we will accept any punishnt."
The Norwood family’s first rule is unconditional obedience to the Norwood bloodline.
Selena chuckled coldly, "If I can’t change your mind, then surely this can!"
After speaking, Selena revealed the Blood Jade Bracelet on her wrist.
It was the first ti Selena used the Blood Jade Bracelet since Sterling gave it to her.
Just prior, to prevent the Norwood family from restricting her movents over safety concerns, she retrieved it from the bedroom to wear it, a decision proving useful now.
As Selena exposed the Blood Jade Bracelet, the howl from the jungle seed to sense sothing, and swiftly moved towards the jungle’s edge.
The Norwood family halted their actions imdiately upon seeing the Blood Jade Bracelet on Selena’s hand.
