After Vivian finished speaking, she looked disdainfully at Selena, arrogantly shifting her gaze away. All the high-level members of the research institute were satisfied with this result. Then, with predatory eyes, they looked towards Selena. Obviously, they wanted Selena and the Turner family to feel that this decision was flawless and the best!
Patrick gave a cold look to everyone present and stood up, saying, "Selena, we're going back!" Perhaps Selena was right. The Turner family should not be fixated on this research institute that was now lacking in any spirit and only seemed to keep opposing the Turner family's descendants.
Their young lady should be high and mighty, noble and incomparable. Not in this dark and murky place where they repeatedly suffered humiliation for the sake of their ancestors' glory.
Selena, who had been silent all along, finally lifted her eyelids.
She sat lazily in her chair, her eyes calm and serene as she scanned the people present one by one. Her tone was also calm as she said, "I wonder why you all have such short memories?"
"Aren't you all proved wrong before? Why can't you remember what I said?"
Many of the high-level members of the research institute were stunned when they heard Selena's words that lacked any warmth. Shortly after, their expressions collectively sank.
"Miss Turner, what do you mean by that?!" Constance frowned slightly as she looked at Selena.
Vivian, who was angry and frustrated, stood up and slammed the table, "Selena, what do you mean?!"
"Miss Baxter comes from Lab 717 and has already agreed to become the deputy minister. As someone with no qualifications, why do you feel dissatisfied with sitting in the position of minister?"
"Do you want the research institute to kick Miss Baxter out just for you?"
"Do you even think you deserve it?"
Selena gave Vivian a sharp look and said, "Miss Shaw, if you don't pay attention to your tone when speaking to me, then you might have to pay a price for your words."
Vivian's back went cold, and her face turned pale. "How dare you threaten me?!"
Selena smiled seductively, "Want to try? Is this really just a threat?"
Thinking of Osvaldo's temper, Vivian's face suddenly turned white, her lips trembling, but she could no longer say anything.
Freddie pulled Vivian down to sit and stared at Selena with a cold smile, "Miss Turner, even if you have talent, you don't have the right to make the research institute sacrifice other geniuses just for you."
Selena withdrew her gaze from the Shaw siblings and gave a cold smile. "I was just curious. As the head of the research department and with the research institute appointing a deputy head of the department, shouldn't I have been consulted? Is this how things are done in the institute?"
"Or perhaps, this research institute is just a place that hides dirt and grime."
"Anything can be done without following national regulations."
"The opinions of several deputy directors outweigh everything else."
"The appointment of positions is not based on merit and character, but on the opinions of several deputy directors. They just need to open their mouths and a crucial position that dominates the country's industry will be created?!"
As Selena spoke, the faces of the high-level officials of the institute changed instantly.
They stared at Selena, wanting to refute her, but found themselves speechless.
After all, in front of everyone earlier, no one had asked for Selena's opinion.
Instead, the position of Deputy Head of the Department was directly assigned to Constance in public.
The people in the research institute were prepared for Selena and the Turner family not to give up easily, but they did not expect Selena to catch them in this regard.
Now everyone in Zone Six was watching, and no one dared to argue.
