Constance's heart trembled slightly as she looked up and asked, "What did you do?"
Neve sneered, "You are our most precious asset in 717. How can you be bullied by those outsiders? I called the vice dean and told them about the incident... The deans are very protective of you. They won't let Selena off lightly!"
Constance clenched her palms and pursed her lips. "Why did you tell the teachers?!"
Wasn't she implying that she couldn't stand up to Selena on her own and needed someone to back her up?
Neve was taken aback by her sharp tone and quickly explained, "Constance, I didn't mean to. I just couldn't stand Selena's bullying. And you've been so accommodating to her, but she keeps trampling on you and 717's reputation. Why should we let her off the hook?"
"And don't worry, I only stated the facts. I didn't say anything I shouldn't have said."
Constance closed her eyes. The facts relayed by Neve were certainly not in Selena's favor.
As a woman who was born with a very strong aura, Constance had her own pride. She usually wouldn't resort to 717's power to get things done. But Selena...
Constance recalled the scene she had witnessed this afternoon, where Lady Lauren had ordered her servants to prepare gifts to propose to the Turner family. The jealousy and malice in her heart towards Selena couldn't be contained.
This was all Selena's fault!
Selena shouldn't have taken away the man she had her eyes on while she was away in her home country!
Constance leaned back on the car seat and said coldly, "There won't be a next time!"
Neve immediately laughed, but her tone was serious. "I understand, Constance. I promise not to do this kind of thing again."
The people in Lab 717 were very protective of Constance. Once they knew she was being bullied outside, they would not let Selena off lightly!
Thinking about the scene where Selena would soon be in trouble, Neve's mood improved and she drove Constance back to the Baxter family.
...
As the entire capital talked about the Turner family banquet three days later, Selena, as one of the parties involved, quickly regained her composure after the initial shock.
Of course, that's not entirely true.
For example, Selena didn't know how to answer the man's question, so she consciously or unconsciously avoided Osvaldo's gaze.
The most obvious sign was when Osvaldo came to share the bed because he was worried that Selena would have nightmares due to the rain tonight, but found that the door was locked from the inside.
Her legitimate husband was locked out of the door by his wife.
Osvaldo stared at the closed door, lowered his eyes, dispelled the darkness in his heart, and showed a gentle and sinister smile on his face. However, he didn't forcefully break in but turned back to his room.
In the room, Selena held a pillow and listened for a while. After confirming that the man outside had left, she breathed a sigh of relief. Selena lay in bed, looking at the warm crystal chandelier above her head.
