Chapter 1297 The Beauty Brings Disaster Osvaldo watched as his little darling obediently closed her eyes, hiding the hint of a smile in them, and turned off the lights.
The next morning was still calm. After finishing breakfast, Selena was about to go to Capital University when the butler suddenly walked in. "Madam Selena, the people from the Research Institute are here. Would you like to see them?" Selena was first taken aback, then smiled. The people from the Research Institute had previously never dared to come and invite her to their doorstep, probably because they were afraid of being slapped in the face by Selena. Instead, they stationed people in front of the Turner family mansion every day.
Knowing Selena's temperament, they were afraid of provoking her again, and didn't dare to disturb her in her villa. Today, however, they had gone against their usual behavior and sent someone to invite her personally, indicating that they were sure she would give them respect. It seemed that Diego had already "advised" them.
They had been ignoring the Research Institute for so long, it was time to see them. With this in mind, Selena smiled slightly and said, "Bring them to the garden.” After speaking, she walked towards the garden.
Outside the mansion gate, Henry personally led several high-level officials from the Research Institute, looking worried.
These people were not only prestigious and influential, but were also top-notch figures in the entire Capital city, let alone just the Research Institute. Yet here they were, waiting anxiously to see a nineteen-year-old girl, without daring to express the slightest dissatisfaction.
The Research Institute had really lost disgrace this time. If Selena didn't speak to them today, they would face huge external and internal troubles.
The scandal surrounding Constance's fake identity as a rich young lady, as well as the malicious and hypocritical personality of those involved, had been the subject of public opinion, placing the entire Research Institute in the hot seat.
Moreover, their repeated actions against Selena had angered more than half of the researchers who were genuinely committed to scientific research, resulting in many of them quitting in anger.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf they didn't bring these people back soon, the entire operation of the Research Institute might encounter serious problems at its core.
They couldn't afford to bear the consequences. Furthermore, Selena had already made a name for herself in the medical field. If she were to abandon scientific research and study medicine, these people would become the culprits of the entire scientific research community.
No one wants to be infamous for generations to come, so after consulting with Diego and making sure that it wouldn't anger Selena, Henry dared not delegate the task to someone else and personally led the group to her doorstep.
After waiting for almost half an hour, Leia finally emerged and said indifferently, "Madam Selena has allowed you to enter!" Upon hearing this, the group breathed a sigh of relief.
If Selena agreed to see them, it meant that she had calmed down.
Without further delay, they immediately followed Leia inside.
Although the villa was not big, it had everything it needed, and every corner exuded a delicate taste.
Selena sat by the pond surrounded by various flowers carefully cultivated by the gardeners. When Henry and his team entered, they saw a young woman sitting among the colorful flowers. She was holding a rose in her white hand and looking at them with a smile.
Their gazes were briefly stunned, but they quickly regained their composure when they noticed the murderous look in Leia's eyes.
Henry straightened his tie and walked up to Selena, bending down and saying, "Miss Turner, how are you feeling? The Research Department has a lot of work waiting for you to handle. If we delay any longer, the machines that Zone Six needs might not keep up with the demand..." This was one of the reasons why they had to come to Selena.
Almost everyone in Zone Six and Union University was waiting for the batch of mechanical models that Selena had previously provided.
However, many theories inside the models were beyond the understanding of the Research Department staff.
The only one who could decipher them was Selena, the creator.
If they didn't invite Selena back, the machines would not be put into use, and Zone Six would be angry with them.
Selena turned the rose in her hand and said coldly, "Mr. Matthews, you seem to imply that the Research Department cannot function without me..." "You've always wanted to kick me out of the institute and promote Constance, haven't you?" "That doesn't align with your previous intentions.” Despite having suffered many losses at Selena's hands, Henry couldn't help but flinch at these words. He bent down and spoke sincerely, "Miss Turner, it's all our fault!" "We were short-sighted and should not have mistreated you for our own selfish interests! Please forgive us old fellows in the scientific community of H Country. | promise that as long as | am still in the research institute, no one will dare to shake your position as the head of the research department!" Upon hearing Henry's words, Selena narrowed her eyes and snorted.
The group of people who followed Henry were shocked by his words. They had not discussed the last sentence before.
Don't forget, there is still the Shaw family in the research institute who are destined to compete with the Turner family in a life and death struggle. What if the Shaw family eventually succeeds in a counterattack? Until the final step, no one dares to say too much.
Henry has lived for so many years and climbed to this position. He couldn't possibly not understand this.
There is only one explanation.
Henry didn't want to say these words. Someone made him say them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStanding behind Henry is the Poole family. The Poole family is now under Christ's control.
These words were said by Christ to Selena! Has the Poole family decided to help the Turner family? But this doesn't make sense...
Because not only the Shaw family, but also the Poole family's control over the research institute was wrested from the Turner family's hands.
Once the Turner family regains the power of the Shaw family, the next target they will undoubtedly deal with is the Poole family! The fact that the Poole family is not only unguarded but also has its people say such words in front of Selena...
At that moment, even Leia was shocked.
Henry naturally knew what his words represented.
But who made the Poole family under Christ's control? Almost everyone in the capital knows Christ's intentions towards the Turner family's young lady.
Unless Christ voluntarily gives up the Poole family's power in the research institute, he and the Turner family's young lady will inevitably fight to the death.
And the words that Christ made Henry say almost represented a certain signal.
Once the Shaw family knows these words... it will be impossible to not fight to the death with the Turner family.
At that moment, everyone looked at the beautiful but unpleasant-looking woman sitting on the flower stand and cursed her as a "disaster to men."
