Beatrice's face changed instantly.
She knew exactly what she had done at the research institute, even though no one else did. If it was exposed, according to federal law, she would be doomed!
Beatrice was ruthless but not entirely brainless. She looked at Selena's face that made her hate and fear her and realized that Lillian deliberately sent her here to die! That woman clearly intended to send her to death!
She needed to use the blood of her own sister as a stepping stone for her ambition!
Taking a deep breath, Beatrice suddenly suppressed all of her anger. She put on an expression and looked at Selena. "Mr. Turner, can we talk alone?"
Selena smiled with interest and clapped her hands.
The people in the conference room understood and left in an orderly manner.
Leia looked seriously at Beatrice, worried that she might harm the young lady.
Selena turned around and glanced at Leia before saying reassuringly,"It's okay."
Leia remembered Selena's "long criminal record" with tears in her eyes as she said,"Missy, please don't do anything reckless again; Master will be angry..."
Selena naturally knew what Leia meant by this; she rubbed Leia's hair gently, "Don't worry; I won't do it again."
With this assurance from Selena, Leia left feeling relieved.
Soon, only Selena and Beatrice were left in the conference room.
Beatrice was wearing handcuffs and looked at the lazy and elegant girl sitting across from her. She gritted her teeth but had to put on a smile. "Mr. Turner, do you know why the Central City Research Institute suddenly decided to collaborate with the H Country Research Institute?"
Selena smiled. "I gave the Central City Research Institute half an hour. If Miss White can't convince me within that time, Riddle Group Empire's judgment on Miss White will be sent directly."
Beatrice's face turned pale.
After what happened at the Central City Research Institute was exposed, she knew that there was no way out for her when it came to Riddle Group Empire's judgment!
If Lillian didn't order her execution within two days, it could be because of her mother's influence or because she still had some use and couldn't die yet.
But once public opinion became too big of an issue, Lillian would not hesitate to sacrifice even those closest to her for her status and dignity!
Thinking of Lillian made Beatrice hate Selena even more. She spilled everything out: "The goal of this collaboration with the Central City Research Institute is not cooperation but targeting you, Miss Turner!"
Selena remained calm and smiled slightly. "Miss White must be joking? I have never had any dealings with Central City before; such a grand gesture against a stranger seems unreasonable!"
"Who let you have such a face?" Beatrice's expression was indescribable as she looked at Selena's face with envy mixed with fear. "Does Miss Turner know what this face means in Central City?"
Selena deepened her smile."Oh?"
Beatrice stared at Selena with pity mixed with disgust in her eyes."Miss Turner looks exactly like our late Empress from Riddle Group Empire... and my younger sister is next in line for succession."
"She fears that you will threaten my sister's position so naturally wants you gone; I am just one of its pawns!"
A perfectly timed surprise appeared on Selina's face as she gently stroked his cheekbone,"My face... looks exactly like Her Majesty The Empress from Riddle Group Empire?"
"It's not just about looks," Beatrice looked at Selena with a deep, intense gaze. "You really resemble the Queen..."
