Every step Selena took was highly purposeful.
If they made changes to her plans without her consent, even if it was for her own good, it could make her angry.
Osvaldo wasn't afraid of Selena getting angry, but he was afraid of her disappointment and regret.
The man lowered his eyelashes, his eyes showing a hint of coldness.
Why couldn't his little treasure be a bit weaker and rely on him more?
Patrick caught a glimpse of Osvaldo's helplessness and looked away, feeling a bit empathetic.
If Selena had said those things to him or to Osvaldo in person, they would have found a way to change her mind.
But Selena only told them after she had already gone in, and it seemed like they had no choice but to follow her lead.
Selena was too independent and too strong, towards both Osvaldo and the Turner family.
Despite being the heiress of the Turner family, it was difficult for her own brother to even see her.
Freddie's gaze shifted between Osvaldo and Patrick, sensing an impending danger.
Just then, Patrick's assistant returned and whispered something in his ear.
Patrick nodded and remained silent.
But after a moment, Henry's phone suddenly vibrated again.
He answered the call and everyone could see clearly from his expression that the news wasn't good.
Before anyone could speak, Henry lowered his head and turned on the computer in the conference room. The large screen on the wall displayed a huge conference room filled with people who were obviously in the middle of a meeting.
Lorenzo and Sidney were leading the group, accompanied by several other middle-aged men with determined expressions.
The people in the research institute were alarmed at the sight and stood up in a hurry. "Why do you have time to come here-"
Henry cut them off and Sidney raised his hand in a calming gesture. "I heard Union University is having a training match today, so we came to see how the kids are doing..."
Freddie saw all of this and could barely control the fury on his face. "What are you doing, Young Mr. Turner? Miss Turner went in on her own and no one forced her. Even if she performs well, she won't gain anything... Bringing in outside help now seems pointless."
Patrick gave Freddie a cold look and, for once, his icy expression softened into a smile. "Selena's not feeling well, and the Turner family can't bear to send her to District 6."
Freddie couldn't help sinking in his heart and asked, "What do you mean by that?" Patrick's gaze returned to the big screen, and a hint of mockery glinted in his eyes. "Those who can't match Selena's strength and can only resort to scheming and plotting against her, what qualifications do they have to get what Selena cannot have?"
Freddie clenched his fists. The selection process for Zone Six was always extremely strict. Although Diana had some connections with the higher-ups in Zone Two, she was still an external employee and still had a long way to go before she could hold a position of power. This practical performance was to prepare her to become the head of the research department and enter Zone Six. However, not only did she mess up, but she also left such a mess outside for them to clean up.
