Facing the intense scrutiny of a group of people, Selena walked elegantly onto the stage in high heels. She stopped five steps away from Constance and gazed lazily into her opponent's eyes, lips curled in a smirk. "Miss Baxter, this is the first time in my life that someone has dared to say such things to my face," she said.
"If I go too far in my retaliation, please bear with me."
Constance sneered provocatively. "Same goes for me!"
"Miss Turner, are you mocking me because you're not capable?" Selena asked.
"I'll use my own strength to show Miss Turner just how big the gap between us really is!"
She taunted Selena with her gaze, then turned around and said dismissively, "Come in."
The crowd was stunned.
Before they could recover from the sudden tension between Selena and Constance, the door to the meeting room was pushed open from the outside.
A sharply-dressed woman walked in and glanced disdainfully at Selena. "I'm Neve, Miss Baxter's assistant in Lab 717," she announced brusquely.
After a brief explanation, Neve opened her small box and took out a thick stack of award certificates.
Picking up the top one, she tossed it casually onto the table in front of Selena.
"Snap!"
"First place in the domestic physics competition three years ago!"
"Snap!"
"Highest achievement award in international physics competition two years ago!"
"Snap!"
"Third place in global physics competition one year ago!"
"Snap!"
"Dickler Medal recipient at the International Center for Theoretical Physics six months ago!"
"Snap!"
"National Science and Technology Awards three months ago!"
...
The sound of certificates slamming onto the table echoed through the room, suffocating everyone in it.
The people in the meeting room were dumbfounded as they looked at the large pile of awards.
Selena glared dangerously at her opponent, her dark eyes flickering with a hint of danger.
Leia was so angry that her eyes turned red at the sight of someone daring to humiliate Selena.
She picked up her phone and took a picture of the scene, sent it to Osvaldo and Luke, and complained to them in an exaggerated way.
Although it was not very obvious, Leia had a feeling that Selena had a forgiving attitude towards Constance.
Otherwise, based on her temper, she wouldn't be able to tolerate Constance for so long.
Although Leia didn't know where this forgiveness came from, she knew that Constance had missed her chance.
She had thoroughly annoyed Selena!
Even if this woman was favored by Dante, daring to humiliate Madam Selena was still unforgivable!
Neve finished her throwing out the papers, holding her arm and raising her chin, looking at Selena with arrogance. "These are all the achievements and awards that Miss Baxter has obtained domestically and internationally in the past three years."
"Miss Baxter is the most outstanding young generation of Lab 717. Several deans are cultivating her as the heir!"
"Who do you think you are, to compare yourself with her?!"
The expression in Selena's eyes became more and more dangerous.
Constance looked at Selena and smiled, "Miss Turner, among the young physics geniuses, besides the owner of the 'Sacred Pearl,' I, Constance, have never been afraid of anyone!"
