The indescribable silence was suddenly shattered by a light sound from the back seat.
Hattie climbed onto the back seat with her backpack on her back.
Selena quickly shifted her gaze away and dared not look at the man's eyes. She coughed, "Let's go back."
Osvaldo looked at the blushing girl and a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes. He calmly returned to the driver's seat and started the car.
Hattie put down her backpack and looked up at Selena.
Then she noticed that Selena's expression seemed off. She asked with concern, "Selena, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Selena coughed. "Hattie, rest early after we go back. You have to study tomorrow morning."
"I know, Selena," Hattie nodded.
...
At the same time, inside the Baxter family mansion, Constance was sitting in front of the computer, staring at the flickering screen with a somewhat inexplicable expression.
It seemed like she was struggling and hesitant, yet there was also a hint of discontent.
Neve walked in from the door and placed a pile of materials on the table. "Constance, these are the materials you brought back from 717. I put them on the table."
There was no response.
Neve looked up and saw Constance frowning, as if she had encountered some problem.
She immediately asked, "Constance, what's wrong?"
After pausing for a moment, Constance's face suddenly darkened, "Did that Selena bully you again?!"
Without waiting for Constance's response, Neve immediately said, "You've been sulking since you came back from the Turner family mansion. That woman must have done something wicked again!"
"This is simply too much!"
Constance seemed to have not heard her words. With her eyes lowered, she asked nonchalantly, "Did you mention the existence of the 'Sacred Pearl' when you called the teacher last time?"
It was only after she returned to H Country that she found out that there was actually one of these pearls being researched in H Country's research institute.
"No!" Neve smiled knowingly and said, "Constance, don't worry. I know what's important."
"You are a person from H Country. How could you 'betray' your own country?"
"As long as you don't say anything, I won't either. No one from 717 will know about the 'Sacred Pearl' in H Country."
This matter was originally a secret of the research institute.
However, given Constance's special identity as the granddaughter of Diego, the Shaw family and the high-level officials of the Institute told her the news in order to win her over.
When Constance first learned about the "Sacred Pearl" in H Country, she was quite surprised.
She never thought that H Country would have such a great opportunity to obtain something that almost every country wanted.
What surprised her even more was that a mechanic from the Institute could manipulate the "Sacred Pearl".
Constance had a feeling that there was something hidden in this.
As far as she knew, besides the owner of the "Sacred Pearl," no one else had ever been able to manipulate it. Even her teachers and several deans couldn't do it. But the fact that the "Sacred Pearl" was indeed locked up could not be denied.
