After Principal Marshall, Matilda stepped out in front of the fearful gazes of both the Poole and Shaw families.
She stood in front of Selena and stared straight into the girl's dark and cold eyes. "Miss Turner, what Principal Marshall said is also what the tribunal wants to say."
Selena looked at the gentle girl, who was always as gentle as water, waiting for her to continue.
Matilda smiled, "Apart from that, I have another question."
"Have you... ever resented anyone?"
Selena suddenly stopped smiling.
Oscar and Patrick, sitting beside her, both forgot to look away in that instant.
Not only were they watching, but everyone else was also staring intently.
The tragedy of the Turner family and Selena's background were well-known by all. Therefore, everyone understood the meaning behind Matilda's question.
When the Turner family was wiped out, everyone in the capital turned a blind eye and never mentioned their deaths. No one sought revenge for them.
After the Turner family was annihilated, the major families of the capital seized the opportunity to divide the Turner family's power, adding insult to injury.
Callum disappeared, Nevaeh died, and Selena had suffered nearly twenty years of persecution and abuse without ever receiving any kindness.
Who dares to say that if they had experienced all of this, they wouldn't feel resentment in their hearts?!
The Shaw family stared at Selena closely, waiting for her answer.
As long as Selena showed the slightest sign of resentment, the tribunal and the people behind them would not support her.
After all, if someone who harbored grudges against everyone were to become the head of the institute, who could guarantee that she wouldn't seek revenge?!
Selena looked at Matilda's gentle eyes and smiled, "Of course, I have."
The people present were all stunned, and then their gazes on Selena became very strange.
It was obvious that they were all surprised that Selena would admit to her resentment.
For anyone else in this situation, even if they hated in their hearts, they should say that they don't resent anyone on the surface, right?
The Shaw family's faces lit up with joy.
Vivian immediately said, "Miss Wallace, you heard it too. Selena resents all of us. If we let such a person take charge, won't it put everyone in danger?!"
Matilda seemed not to have heard Vivian's words, staring at Selena with a slight frown.
Facing the various gazes in the room, Selena said in a low voice, "So, I'm here for revenge."
"The people who once bullied and harmed me have received the punishment they deserved. The major aristocratic families have divided up the Turner family's power. Am I not just collecting debts now?"
Selena's cold gaze swept around, looking at those powerful families who took advantage of the situation. Her eyes were cold and dark.
"I will take back everything that belongs to the Turner family, and make them pay the price for it!"
"Every one of them will pay for what they have done!"
Those who were glanced at by Selena felt as if they were being stared at by a powerful and terrifying creature, their faces turning pale with fear.
Selena gave a cold smile. "As for the extermination of the entire Turner family... that blood debt will naturally have to be paid."
"I will eventually find out who harmed the Turner family, and use their blood to honor all the spirits of the Turner family!"
After listening to Selena's answer, Matilda said with a smile, "Congratulations, Mr. Turner."
Then Matilda turned around, walked to the platform, picked up a pen, and also drew ten strokes on it.
