The news of the official engagement between the Anderson family and the Turner family shook the entire capital at the first moment.
Although it was previously rumored that Osvaldo and Selena had already obtained their marriage certificate, legally speaking, they were considered a lawful couple.
However, in the eyes of many people, that marriage certificate only represented Osvaldo and Selena's private relationship and did not involve the interests of the two major families.
But this engagement party was different.
The fact that the Anderson family dared to announce it meant that the Turner family had agreed to marry their daughter to the Anderson family. For the various aristocratic families in the capital, the Anderson family and the Turner family were both terrifying enough. Once the two families joined forces, the result would be a disaster for many families.
For a while, the entire capital seemed to be filled with a restless atmosphere.
...
Due to the deliberate protection of Osvaldo and the Turner family, Selena was unaware of the changing situation outside.
Most of her thoughts were focused on Oscar's surgery. After finally developing a specific treatment plan, Selena was reminded by Leia that she hadn't reported to the research institute for several days.
The people in the research institute were afraid of provoking Selena, so they didn't dare to remind her and could only wait every day.
This morning, Selena took Leia to the research institute and met Diana, who was being escorted by a group of people.
Although Principal Marshall's methods were a bit fierce, she was, after all, a legitimate military figure. Therefore, she only detained Diana according to the usual procedures and did not use any illegal means. Therefore, Diana had no physical injuries.
However, her eyes full of resentment and twisted expression as she stared at Selena indicated that her mental state was on the verge of collapse.
The people escorting Diana stopped when they saw Selena and respectfully saluted her, "Minister Turner."
Selena nodded and glanced at Diana lightly, smiling as she asked, "Can I talk to her for a few minutes?"
The people from Zone Six knew about the feud between Selena and Diana, and they also knew that, given the Turner family's character, they wouldn't bother with the prisoner in private. Therefore, they readily agreed.
The group walked to a nearby place and left Selena and Diana standing there.
Diana stared at Selena with resentment, her face full of a vicious expression. "Selena, I will kill you for sure!"
Selena smiled and looked at Diana as if she were looking down on an ant, "Mr. Shaw must have put in a lot of effort to get your out, didn't he?"
Diana's expression became even more resentful, "Selena, I will never forgive you!"
Selena admired her expression of fear and anger, "Perhaps I should thank you. If you hadn't stolen my credit, pretended to be Osvaldo's savior, I wouldn't know how to drag the Shaw family down."
"Now, the Shaw family's only hope of turning things around is you. If you can't activate the Sacred Pearl, or if I tell the Shaw family's young master the truth, what will happen to you?"
Diana's face twisted in fear and anger.
When she stole the Sacred Pearl and Selena's credit, Diana never expected things to turn out like this.
Selena became the dean of the research department, taking away the Shaw family's most crucial power in the institute. It was only a matter of time before the Shaw family was expelled from the institute. And with the Turner family rising to fame, neither the Shaw family nor Freddie could do anything to Selena.
So they pinned their last hope on her.
