Chapter 702: What a Treasure I Married
But compared to the Mayfield family’s special abilities, these seem somewhat insignificant.
Sterling Norwood chuckled lightly, a hint of disdain in his eyes, "I don’t need it."
Seeing Sterling Norwood so confident, Selena Kensington became curious, "Why do you sound so arrogant, Mr. Norwood?"
Sterling Norwood raised his hand and gently pinched Selena Kensington’s cheek, his eyes gleaming with a fine light, "It’s a fact."
"The greatest ability of the Qiongqi bloodline is to command Fell Beasts."
"So even Lark Mayfield, although she doesn’t submit to me, ultimately has to heed my command."
Sterling Norwood spoke with a light laugh, his eyes revealing the arrogance and dominance of The Beast Lord.
With a touch of pride and arrogance.
Selena Kensington couldn’t help but gape slightly, "So amazing..."
So, no matter how strong Lark Mayfield’s abilities are, in the end, she still has to listen to Sterling Norwood?
Selena Kensington was dumbfounded but couldn’t help laughing.
What had she...
married such a great treasure.

The next day, Selena Kensington arranged with Roxanne Sutton and Sidney Dalton for a secret and quiet setting.
She and Lark Mayfield arrived first at the next table to their agreed location.
The place had high privacy; each small compartment had some partitions, so there was no worry about others seeing inside the compartments.
After Selena Kensington sat down, she initially wanted to order a cappuccino but ended up changing it to milk and finally ordered several desserts.
When the waiter brought what she had ordered, Selena Kensington leisurely sat in the booth.
Waiting for Roxanne Sutton and Sidney Dalton to arrive.
Lark Mayfield looked at the several plates of pastries placed in front of Selena Kensington and silently stirred her coffee.
"A pregnant woman eating so much, doesn’t it get tiring?"
After a while, when Roxanne Sutton and Sidney Dalton hadn’t arrived yet, and Selena Kensington had already finished two plates of pastries.
Lark Mayfield finally couldn’t help but speak up.
Selena Kensington shook her head slightly, "I rarely get the chance to eat, so how could I get tired?"
Lark Mayfield suddenly let out a sneering laugh.
However, Lark Mayfield taking the initiative to talk to Selena Kensington surprised her a bit.
She looked up, carefully sizing up Lark Mayfield.
Today, Lark Mayfield came out wearing a wig.
After all, Lark Mayfield’s silver hair was too eye-catching, and this was the heavily guarded capital of Aethelgard, so Miles Goodman had bought her a wig to make it easy for her to go out.
Other than wearing a wig, Lark Mayfield’s appearance hadn’t changed much.
Her brows and eyes had softened a lot compared to the previous sharp and proud demeanor.
Her eyes carried a touch of spring triumph.
Selena Kensington was a bit surprised but remembered Lark Mayfield’s date with Miles Goodman the day before and wondered if the two had made significant progress?
Selena Kensington felt somewhat amused, "Did you win over Brother Miles?"
You must know, in Selena Kensington’s childhood eyes.
Timothy Jennings was the kind of cheerful and lively brother, while Miles Goodman was the kind of silent and cold brother.
When Selena Kensington was brought to play by them, it was usually Timothy Jennings who bounced around with her, while Miles Goodman silently followed them from behind.
He also was careful to watch if Selena Kensington would get hurt due to Timothy Jennings’s carelessness.
Although she wasn’t unfamiliar with her two brothers, she couldn’t help being surprised Lark Mayfield managed to win over someone as cold as Miles Goodman so quickly.
However, remembering that there was already an emotional foundation between Miles Goodman and Lark Mayfield, Selena Kensington wasn’t surprised anymore.
Lark Mayfield glanced at her, leisurely saying, "My bloodline isn’t as powerful as Sterling Norwood’s. At the very least, I cannot directly ignore the effects of curses."
However, now that Selena Kensington is pregnant with The Beast Lord’s child, the curse’s influence is gradually weakening.
Therefore, Lark Mayfield wasn’t as powerless as before.
At the very least, except for the final step, they had achieved everything else.
"Tsk..."
Selena Kensington understood Lark Mayfield’s words, looking at Lark playfully.
Even with Selena watching her like this, Lark Mayfield remained calm.
During their conversation, Roxanne Sutton had already reached the agreed-upon location.
She first sat for a while in the initially fixed position and then got up and came to the booth where Selena Kensington and Lark Mayfield were seated.
"What should I do next?"
Seeing Lark Mayfield present, Roxanne Sutton suddenly felt the pressure increase.
Even her tone became a bit tense.
Selena Kensington gave a slight nod towards Lark Mayfield.
Lark Mayfield seemed to glance at Selena Kensington silently before raising her eyes to look at Roxanne Sutton.
She spoke calmly, "Do what you want, relax his vigilance."
"...Understood."
Roxanne Sutton pressed her lips slightly, not asking why Lark Mayfield knew she actually had some things she wanted to do.
After acknowledging Lark Mayfield, she left Selena Kensington’s booth and went to sit in the adjacent booth.
Quietly waiting for Sidney Dalton to arrive.
Seeing Lark Mayfield’s calm reaction, Selena Kensington was a bit curious.
"Have you... guessed something?"
Lark Mayfield raised her coffee cup, taking a sip.
"It’s not about guessing anything, but the cause and effect have long destined her outcome."
Lark Mayfield responded indifferently, her brows showing no ripple of emotion.
"Do you also believe in cause and effect?"
Selena Kensington asked in surprise.
After all, based on Lark Mayfield’s previous behavior, she didn’t seem like someone who believed in cause and effect.
In Selena’s view, only the Clan of Celestial Masters took cause and effect so seriously.
Lark Mayfield cast a cool glance at her.
"Cause leads to effect and effect follows cause. In a past life, I owed you, so now I’m repaying you. After this matter, our karmic connection will be completely resolved."
She finished with a sneer, "Otherwise, do you think your clumsy conditions could have made me take action?"
"..."
Selena Kensington felt slightly embarrassed.
She did have some doubts yesterday about why Lark Mayfield was so agreeable, and now she understood why.
Indeed, Selena Kensington’s suicide in her past life was largely due to Lark Mayfield.
So, she had sown the seed.
And the fruit reaped in this life, Lark Mayfield is repaying.
That’s why she agreed to Selena Kensington’s plan this time.
"So what’s with Roxanne Sutton’s matter?"
Selena Kensington asked.
Lark Mayfield seemed uncharacteristically patient today, saying more to Selena Kensington than usual.
"From the very beginning, I warned her that man would be her downfall, but she still, upon reaching adulthood, ignored my warning and left Westport. The causes she sowed those years away are also reaching the time of repayment."
Lark Mayfield spoke slowly.
In consideration of Roxanne Sutton’s mother’s kindness, although Lark Mayfield was cold, she respected her mother’s wish.
Letting her stay away from the Mayfield Family’s grudges and grow up like an ordinary person.
