Leon looked at Hattie's serious expression and couldn't help but laugh.
After Hattie hid the doll, Leon held her hand and led her outside. "Even if you favor that man, you can't leave Alfie outside for so long."
Under normal circumstances, Hattie would not behave so rudely towards someone who cared for her. But the doll made her uneasy and she couldn't handle guests without solving the problem.
Upon hearing Leon's words, Hattie murmured softly, "Selena and Osvaldo are in love, and Alfie's appearance at this time is already asking for trouble..."
Leon's expression turned a bit strange, "To a girl, Alfie is gentle and powerful, more suitable to be a husband than that man from the Anderson family..."
Hattie interrupted, "Even if Alfie is gentle and excellent, what's the use if Selena doesn't like him?"
Leon had no response to this reasonable statement.
Hattie continued to murmur, "Even though Osvaldo has a bad temper, he treats Selena well and wouldn't let anyone mistreat her. Selena likes him, so Alfie is doomed to lose!"
Leon couldn't help but feel that Hattie's eloquence was becoming more like Selena's, sharp and punchy.
...
Inside the conference room of the research institute.
Constance had been publicly humiliated twice by Selena, and her halo as a physics genius seemed to have dimmed quite a bit.
She smiled.
Constance looked up at Selena, "Miss Turner, I have already accommodated you a lot, but it seems that we are destined not to be friends."
She had already stooped low to please this woman for fear of being disliked by that man. But Selena's repeated overstepping had finally caused Constance to retract all her pretense of goodwill.
She looked at Selena coldly, no longer hiding her contempt and dislike in her eyes.
Selena leaned weakly against her seat, looking at the woman across from her who was no longer smiling, as if she had put on a smiling mask. "So, this is the real Miss Baxter?"
Constance looked at Selena as cold as ice, her tone light and full of disdain, "Miss Turner, even without 717 and the Intuition Series, you cannot compare to me! Never!"
Selena narrowed her dark eyes slightly, "Oh?"
"I am the first physics genius in H Country!" Constance curled her lips and exuded absolute ice-cold confidence in her eyes, "I entered Capital University at the age of twelve, was admitted to Hogwarts at the age of fifteen, was recruited by Lab 717 at the age of eighteen, and became Dr. Noahedu's chief apprentice at the age of twenty-three..."
The first three sentences of Constance were well-known facts, so everyone just admired her without much surprise.
But the last sentence once again caused a wave of fanatical worship throughout the entire conference room.
"Dr. Noahedu's... chief apprentice?!"
"Dr. Noahedu is the vice principal of Hogwarts, and Lab 717 is the top physics research institute. My God!"
"When did this happen, and why don't we all know about it?"
At this moment, everyone looked at Constance excitedly and admirably.
Constance lifted her chin and looked at Selena, smiling slightly, "To accommodate you and not make you feel inferior, I used my teacher's 'Intuition Series' to cover up my own talent!"
"But Miss Turner, you are too ungrateful!"
"I'm willing to condescend and become your subordinate. Why can't you leave us a sympathetic and beautiful memory of each other?!"
