Christ, who had been keeping an eye on Selena, clenched his fists as he looked at her calm and indifferent gaze.
Freddie looked at Selena, then at the two tickets on the screen that belonged to her, furrowing his brows.
Could it be that she was the Turner family's trump card?
Selena was good at calculating.
With so many top officials from the institute present, if the last two votes were split between the Poole family and the Shaw family, it would be a tie.
The position of dean would definitely not be decided today.
Delaying time was that the Turner family's goal?
However, Selena was so sure that Christ would vote for her?
Although this guess made sense, Freddie felt that something was missing.
As if sensing his scrutiny, Selena suddenly turned her head and gave him a glance.
In the electric sparks between his gaze and her black and cold eyes, a glimmer of inspiration flashed through Freddie's mind.
He was about to ponder it further when Vivian's voice, a mix of terror and excitement, suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
"Brother, the Shaw family has come this far. We absolutely cannot lose!"
Freddie wanted to teach Vivian a lesson, so he ignored her.
By the time he tried to think more about the sudden inspiration, it had disappeared without a trace.
On the platform, Henry began to flip over the next round of votes.
Freddie rubbed his tired eyes and had to put his thoughts on hold, focusing on the present.
Christ's vote for Selena pushed the dean's battle between the Poole family and the Shaw family to an even more tense atmosphere.
Everyone was nervously watching the only two votes left.
Henry was about to wipe his sweat, but he held back and, under the gaze of everyone holding their breath, opened the second-to-last vote.
Another unexpected name appeared before their eyes.
A group of anxious people froze again.
The vote still said "Selena."
Vivian gritted her teeth and said, "Besides Christ and Diego, who else with no eyesight would vote for Selena?!"
Even with this new vote, Selena only had three votes at the moment.
It was still far from the recommended candidates of the Shaw family and the Poole family.
But Vivian inexplicably felt afraid.
Every time Selena got another vote, her heart tightened more.
And when Freddie saw this vote, he finally realized what that nagging feeling he had ignored was.
Selena held a position as the vice dean in addition to being the head of the research department.
Strictly speaking, she was one of the high-ranking officials.
She had one vote!
The handwriting on this vote was delicate and obviously from a woman's hand.
It must have been Selena's own vote.
Freddie let out a heavy sigh.
With Selena having already cast her own vote, it was impossible for her to use the voting system to overturn the large gap.
It seemed that Cassius had really caught the Turner family's weakness with the chips he had put out.
When Freddie relaxed his guard, he did not notice the faint surprise in Selena's eyes as she saw this vote.
