Chapter 1120 Constance Baxter Patrick's eyes flickered with a deep emotion. "Keep an eye on the young lady these two days," he said, and added, "Don't let him cat night!" After all, he was the man that Selena liked.
It wasn't practical to stop them from meeting altogether.
Although they had already gotten married, Selena was still young and needed to be protected. She couldn't be taken advantage of by men too early.
As for what to do next, the head of the Turner family was obviously still in a state of panic over "the Turner family's daughter being taken away by a man!" and had no idea what to do.
The next two days passed peacefully. On the morning of the third day, Selena went to the research institute with Leia.
She had been resting well for the past two days and was in a good mood, making her look even more beautiful and charming.
She wore a white dress and walked elegantly towards the meeting room with the Turner family's entourage.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA woman standing in the corner of the parking lot took off her sunglasses and watched Selena leave. "Is that Lady Selena?" she asked.
Marley, who was standing next to her, lowered her head and replied, "Yes, cousin." Constance Baxter sounded somewhat admiring. "She's so beautiful. No wonder she's liked by so many men." Marley remained silent and nervous.
Constance seemed to sense her nervousness and turned her gaze to her. "Marley, congratulations on getting into the research department.” "Thank you, cousin," Marley whispered.
"Don't be nervous," Constance said with a gentle smile. "Grandpa will be back soon, and he'll be very happy when he finds out you got into the research institute." Marley clenched her fingers. With someone as powerful as Constance around, what was there for her, a little nobody, to be happy about? Constance didn't get a response, but she didn't get angry either. She just said with a smile, "Let's go. Don't keep everyone waiting." When Selena walked into the conference room with Patrick, everyone's eyes turned to them in an instant, most of them looking unfriendly.
Selena glanced over them quickly - several vice deans of the Institute, people from the Shaw and Poole families, Principal Marshall, and a few military school students behind him, including Richard, who was greeting her. It seemed like everyone who was supposed to be there had arrived, and it looked like the Poole family's matter had cto a close.
Under the cold and peculiar gazes, Selena calmly took her seat, looking lazy and unconcerned, with no signs of nervousness. After a moment, the large screen on the wall lit up, and several big shots from Zone Six appeared in another conference room. Almost everyone immediately turned their eager gaze towards Selena, as they all knew what today's meeting meant.
With her delicate hands propping up her chin, Selena smiled towards the screen, "Hello, everyone." Sidney asked gently, "Are you so happy because you are ready to give us a 'surprise'?" Selena nodded seriously and said, "As the new head of the research department, | cannot let down your expectations. A new broom sweeps clean, right?" Her small expression of "I can handle it, you can rest assured!" successfully amused the two military big shots. Even the usually serious Lorenzo couldn't help but laugh.
Freddie, on the other hand, looked at Selena's proud expression and let out a cold laugh.
Sidney waved his hand, "Well then, let's get started." Leia stepped up to the podium, opened Selena's laptop, and was about to click on the attachment to display the design drawings Selena had made, but Henry suddenly stood up and said, "Please wait a moment. Not all the attendees have arrived yet." Selena raised her eyebrows and revealed a playful and cold smile on her face. Leia gave Henry a resentful look but still let go of the mouse, not clicking on the attachment content. Everyone in the two conference rooms looked at Henry with their eyes.
Principal Marshall sneered and asked, "Henry, what new tricks is your institute up to now?" Henry remained calm, "Principal Marshall, you misunderstand. This person is truly important.” Principal Marshall scoffed, "lI want to hear who this person is, that your institute would interrupt our viewing of Miss Turner's design for her sake." Just as Henry was about to speak, the door to the conference room suddenly pushed open from the outside, causing an abrupt interruption in the silence.
A young woman in a black dress walked in, with delicate features and an air of sophistication and elegance that exuded from her every pore.
"Sorry, everyone," Constance said as she walked in. "My flight was delayed, and | kept you all waiting!" She smiled gracefully at everyone.
At that moment, everyone inside and outside of the conference room was stunned as they all gazed upon the young woman who had just walked in.
Even Patrick's expression momentarily changed.
Selena glanced at her but quickly averted her gaze, showing no interest in asking questions.
In recent days, her mood had been good, and her temper had improved considerably. As long as she wasn't thoroughly provoked, the young miss wouldn't pick a fight with anyone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut besides her, the others were not as calm.
Sidney stared at her for a while before finally asking, "You're that girl from the Baxter family..." Constance met the gaze of the Zone Six leaders and smiled faintly, "Hello, everyone. My nis Constance Baxter." At the moment her nwas spoken, countless gasps filled the otherwise silent conference room.
"Constance Baxter!" "She's actually the granddaughter of Mr. Baxter?" "No wonder Mr. Matthews waited for her. With Constance here, what's the use of the Turner family's miss..." Selena didn't seem to hear those murmurs and maintained her usual warm expression.
However, the other members of the Turner family did not look so good.
They thought they had everything under control, but who could have expected that the research institute would invite the Baxter family's miss at this critical juncture? Henry did say that Mr. Baxter might bring Miss Baxter home, but there were several young misses in the Baxter family. Who would have thought that the person he was referring to would be Constance? After all, without any special circumstances, the Baxter family's young miss wouldn't have returned to H Country.
With Constance here, Selena's position as the head of the research department, which she had just obtained, was not guaranteed.
The Turner family members secretly worried.
Patrick glanced at Freddie coldly.
Freddie sneered.
Just as Selena was about to take a break and send a text message to Osvaldo, Vivian's voice suddenly cfrom the side, "Selena, how does it feel to be a supporting character for someone else?" Selena's eyelashes trembled, and after sthought, she put her phone away and looked up.
