Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 760: Esther Jennings’ Unfulfilled Wish

She didn’t want Esther Jennings to face the dilemma of disappearing after appearing just once.

Seeing Esther Jennings standing calmly in front of her, seemingly uninterested in the surroundings.

Selena Kensington tried to speak, "Auntie, don’t you... want to see what the world looks like today?"

Esther Jennings looked up at her, her gaze distant and calm, "When I died, the affairs of my past life vanished long ago. Now, as just a spiritual body, there’s nothing to linger over in the real world."

"..."

Esther Jennings spoke calmly, without much fluctuation in tone.

She saw things very clearly.

But Selena Kensington still wanted Esther Jennings to give it a try.

So she took Esther Jennings for a walk around the bedroom, introducing her to the things from this era.

Afterward, Selena Kensington led Esther Jennings out to the balcony.

From the bedroom balcony, the view was excellent, allowing a sweeping view of the mountain’s base and the bustling city in the distance.

"Look, Aethelgard is now a vibrant and bustling metropolis..."

"People work from dawn to dusk, living ordinary yet warm days..."

Selena Kensington spoke softly to Esther Jennings beside her.

Esther Jennings listened quietly, not interrupting Selena Kensington’s words.

After speaking for a while, Selena Kensington tilted her head and asked Esther Jennings, "Auntie, if you were still alive, what would be your greatest wish?"

A flicker of emotion passed through Esther Jennings’ eyes, and she looked at Selena Kensington seriously.

She didn’t avoid this question.

"Resolve the feud between the Fell Bloodline and the Clan of Celestial Masters. Let bygones be bygones, as the clan disappears entirely from the river of history."

Selena Kensington was stunned by Esther Jennings’ words.

This was the longest sentence Esther Jennings had ever spoken to her.

And because of Esther Jennings’ sincerity, Selena Kensington also instinctively became serious.

However, she couldn’t help but wonder, as she didn’t expect Esther Jennings’ wish to be such.

After all, in the eyes of the Clan of Celestial Masters, Esther Jennings was their hope, a hope to lead them back to glory.

Yet this hope wished for the clan to vanish entirely from history...

What would people think when they learned this?

After speaking, Esther Jennings saw the hesitation on Selena Kensington’s face and slowly said, "Ask whatever you want."

Esther Jennings’ words subtly encouraged Selena Kensington.

So she instinctively blurted out, "Do you also think the Clan of Celestial Masters can no longer... linger on?"

Selena Kensington thought for a while, choosing the term ’linger on’.

For now, aside from the Rivers Family, there weren’t many left in the clan.

The Goodman Family was left with only Miles Goodman.

Along with the Sutton Family’s grandfather and grandson on Mount Nimbus...

Esther Jennings shook her head slightly.

"If it weren’t for the Beast Lord’s curse, the clan wouldn’t have existed this long. Ultimately, the God’s curse brought us pain but also gifted us in another aspect."

"To fully understand these karmic ties, the clan should have dissipated long ago, freeing itself from the restraint of Heavenly Master Power, allowing for better integration into this world and becoming a part of it."

Previously, the clan always believed they were different from ordinary people.

Therefore, despite being in the world, they maintained a distance from ordinary people.

That’s why most chose to retreat and live in seclusion.

But that only led to further decline.

Selena Kensington was impressed by Esther Jennings’ words, a true prodigy of the past.

Such wisdom is rare.

Even Selena Kensington, without Esther Jennings’ guidance, wouldn’t have thought in this direction.

"I understand. I will inherit your wish and fulfill it."

Selena Kensington said earnestly.

She knew Esther Jennings wouldn’t tell her this for no reason.

Esther Jennings listened to Selena Kensington’s earnest promise and slightly smiled.

"You surely can."

Her tone was full of certainty.

Selena Kensington couldn’t help but smile along.

But when she saw Esther Jennings’ body become even more transparent, she frowned slightly.

"Auntie, you can’t stay out for long, can you?"

Esther Jennings glanced down at her condition, "Yes. Being outside your mind lacks the nourishment of Heavenly Master Power, so I can’t stay out for long."

Selena Kensington nodded slightly, "Oh, then you should quickly return and recover."

After all, she had asked everything she needed.

"Mm."

Esther Jennings responded.

She was about to vanish before Selena Kensington when suddenly Selena Kensington shouted nervously, "Wait!"

Esther Jennings looked over.

Selena Kensington suddenly remembered the information Miles Goodman had shared with her about the Guardian Spirit, so she asked nervously, "Auntie, if you act once, will you completely vanish?"

Esther Jennings nodded slightly, "Yes. If your life is threatened, I will protect you once, and then I will completely vanish."

Listening to Esther Jennings, Selena Kensington felt her heart tighten.

"Don’t worry, I’ll protect myself well, so there won’t be such a time."

Honestly, Selena Kensington didn’t want Esther Jennings to disappear.

If Kull really was Vincent Sinclair, then Selena Kensington wanted them to meet if possible.

Regardless of the reason.

Selena Kensington understood what obsession was like.

Obsession is something that keeps you going, but sometimes it more often destroys a person.

Even someone as brilliant as Vincent Sinclair ultimately became a rational madman because of their obsessions.

Kull’s morally and rule-breaking actions were one thing, and Selena Kensington naturally had no right to intervene.

But she still hoped to let them meet before Kull was brought to justice.

As a resolution to the couple’s regrets.

Esther Jennings smiled faintly and didn’t respond further to Selena Kensington.

When Selena Kensington finished speaking, Esther Jennings’ figure gradually faded before her.

Selena Kensington watched her completely vanish before returning to the bedroom.

Upon entering the bedroom, Sterling Norwood walked in.

Seeing Selena Kensington in the room, he raised an eyebrow, "How long have you been awake?"

"Not long, just stretching lazily after walking around inside."

Selena Kensington finished speaking and slowly yawned.

Then she walked over, "What’s wrong?"

Sterling Norwood took out her phone and handed it to Selena Kensington.

Previously, afraid she might be disturbed, Sterling Norwood had taken her phone out of the bedroom.

"Hugh Kensington just called, saying Mr. Duan... had gone to see him."
