Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 768: Of Course... To Be Killed by You with Your Own Hands

"Is this the backup plan you’ve prepared?"

Selena Kensington looked in surprise at the helicopter.

How did they manage to bring the helicopter here, and how has it not been detected yet?!

However...

Thinking about Ethan Linton acting as an insider for them within The Celestial Division, Selena felt somewhat calmer.

"The Norwood Family and The Celestial Division have blocked all exits of Aethelgard; this is the only way to leave."

Cole Vaughn said.

At this moment, the Curse Technique on Felicity Dalton had already dissipated.

She was breathing lightly and seemed ready to struggle to attack Selena again.

Selena frowned and her fingers twitched slightly.

If Felicity approached again, she would retaliate once more.

Cole Vaughn, however, waved his hand slightly at Felicity Dalton.

Felicity’s movements froze, and she halted, having to retreat behind Cole Vaughn.

At this time, the helicopter had already lowered a ladder.

Cole Vaughn looked at Selena Kensington, "You’re really not coming with me?"

"No."

Selena responded to him firmly once more.

After saying this, she hesitated for a few seconds before finally asking the question that had long troubled her.

"Why did you choose to join The Godsbane Organization back then? And why are you so persistent about taking me back to The Godsbane Organization but unwilling to harm me?"

Cole Vaughn’s various actions had left her feeling conflicted.

Yet Selena had always believed that Cole Vaughn wouldn’t harm her.

This is why, for so long, Selena had never truly viewed Cole Vaughn as an enemy.

Cole Vaughn paused, and for a moment, the scene fell into silence.

Seeing Cole Vaughn’s silent demeanor, Selena immediately felt she had touched on his painful past.

After all, everyone has the right not to talk about their past, and Selena was about to change the subject, "If you don’t want to..." Forget it.

Before she could finish her sentence, Cole Vaughn spoke.

"That winter marked the fifth year since my mother’s death; his mental illness was worsening, and I had narrowly escaped from him several times. It was the coldest day of winter, and after his abusive outburst, I was kicked out."

"On the street, there were few people, the snow was thick, nearly burying me. As my consciousness blurred and I was ready to die like this, my foster father appeared. He proposed an alternative; he told me that even in death, I should find a different way to die, and I was intrigued by his suggestion."

"He was a madman, and as it happened, I was also a madman. So I went with him."

Cole Vaughn’s eyebrows chilled slightly as he spoke these words, with a hint of excitement intertwined in his seemingly lifeless gaze, mixed with a thread of burning madness.

His indifferent expression also twisted slightly.

Especially at the corner of his mouth, a sinister and cruel arc was sketched.

Selena suddenly froze.

She had always thought that Kull had appeared before Cole Vaughn by chance and saved him.

Cole Vaughn joined The Godsbane Organization as an act of gratitude for saving his life.

But it wasn’t like this.

Cole Vaughn’s mindset had long been twisted; his father was a madman, Kull was a madman, and he was one too.

He didn’t join The Godsbane Organization to repay a debt; he joined to seek an interesting way to die.

What would be an incredulous reason for others seemed fitting for Cole Vaughn.

He exuded a sense of decadent emptiness, wandering through the world like a walking corpse.

He had endured for so many years simply because his so-called interesting death had yet to arrive.

"What kind of way to die?"

Selena couldn’t help but ask further.

Cole Vaughn saw Selena’s expression, and the madness flickering in his eyes slightly calmed.

His gaze returned to a lifeless stillness, and seeing Selena’s puzzled look, he said word by word, "Naturally, to be killed by your own hands..."

As he spoke this sentence, the sinister and cruel smile on his lips hadn’t faded.

This smile, seen by Selena, made her feel inexplicably horrified.

But more than that, it was due to what Cole Vaughn had just said.

She had been shocked by his words.

She instinctively blurted, "What did you say?!"

How is this possible?!

Cole Vaughn had joined The Godsbane Organization, became an experiment subject, and did so many things for The Godsbane Organization, all just to wait for her to kill him with her own hands?

This... what a madman!

Selena couldn’t help but inwardly curse.

Cole Vaughn didn’t respond to her but instead looked behind Selena.

Behind Selena were already a large group of people gradually gathering. Around the laboratory, there were also quite a few lurking individuals gradually closing in.

Seeing those people, the smile on Cole Vaughn’s lips deepened.

A crazed intent to kill and interest flared in his eyes once more.

He lowered his gaze, "Originally, I thought this time I could be killed by you personally. Seems like it will have to wait for another time."

Selena felt a chill creep into her heart as she listened.

How could there be such a madman?!

She didn’t really know Cole Vaughn before.

So she and Cole Vaughn, within Vincent Sinclair’s plot, were merely serving as two important roles.

Her existence was to hold Cole Vaughn in check and ultimately kill him.

Vincent Sinclair, what on earth is he doing?!

For a moment, Selena couldn’t understand Vincent Sinclair’s intentions.

If he was just seeking revenge for Esther Jennings, wanting the Fell Bloodline descendants to be buried with her.

Then why orchestrate such an act?

"The people we brought to Aethelgard this time never intended to return alive. The person we captured is the gift for your greeting; he should satisfy you."

At this moment, Cole Vaughn completely tore away his previous disguise.

Revealing his true, insane side.

"Madman!"

Selena looked at her coldly and said with a chilly voice.

Cole Vaughn’s smile remained unchanged, "Do you know why I led you here?"

Selena had a vague premonition.

She raised her head slightly and saw some blurred figures in the distance, "What do you mean?!"

Her voice trembled slightly.

"Sterling Norwood detected your interactions with me, and... He has been testing you; testing whether you chose me or him..."

Cole Vaughn slowly revealed this statement, sending a chilling wave through Selena’s spine.

Sterling knew?!

No wonder...

No wonder his recent actions have been a bit peculiar.

Sometimes Selena could sense it, but she didn’t want to dwell on it. Coupled with Sterling’s increasing disregard to mask his true self, she had grown accustomed to his occasional strange expressions.

Thus she never thought much about it.

Even when she pestered him during the previous meetings, Sterling would let her watch drama in the living room.

But the final briefing was the exception; Sterling had her accompany him.

He was testing whether she’d relay those details to Cole Vaughn and his group.
