Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo) novel Chapter 1590

Chapter 1590: A Critical Moment

When Selena spoke, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly froze. Diana's triumphant and malicious expression abruptly stiffened on her face. The group of enraged H Country researchers had their mouths agape in shock. Everyone stared at Selena as if she were a monster.

The reason for this reaction was simple: Selena had uttered a name that commanded respect and awe-Lindsay Hall, the owner of "Sacred Pearl." Whenever anyone mentioned her, it was always with reverence and fear, addressing her as "Miss Hall" or simply using the title.

No one had ever dared to address her directly, let alone in such a stern and cold tone. When the Central City researchers realized their mistake, all of them exploded in an instant.

They glared at Selena, as if she had blasphemed the deity in their hearts, angrily wishing to pounce on her and tear her apart.

"A mere director from H Country Research Institute dares to call Miss Hall by her name directly and even tells her to leave. You have quite the audacity!"

"Even though you are a graduate of Lab 717, you are still under Miss Hall's leadership. How dare you show such disrespect? Our Central City Research Institute will definitely not let such an offense go unpunished!"

After Diana regained her composure, she sneered at Selena with disdain. "Selena, who do you think you are? How dare you speak to Miss Hall like this? I think you've had enough of living!"

The female researcher who had slapped someone looked at Selena's beautiful and noble face. Malice flashed in her eyes as she suddenly lunged forward, raising her hand to strike Selena's face. "Daring to disrespect Miss Hall, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Leia sneered and caught the woman's hand, then delivered two resounding slaps to her face. "Consider this payback for hitting the H Country researchers just now!"

After the swift retaliation, Leia didn't hold back and kicked the woman out. The female researcher, who had been pampered and adored since joining the Central City Research Institute, found herself being struck in front of everyone. Shocked and infuriated, it took her a while to react. As she lay on the ground, she opened her eyes wide, only feeling intense pain on her cheek. She screamed only after a moment.

"How dare you hit my face! Guards! Capture them! Capture them immediately!"

The Central City researchers helped the woman up while glowering at Selena, their faces filled with scornful sneers.

"People from H Country Research Institute, recklessly assaulting our Central City's senior researcher, this matter won't end well for you!"

As they spoke, they took out their phones, intending to call someone from the Central City. The researchers from H Country, now fully awake to the situation, felt a sense of fear.

Even if they were unwilling to admit it, they couldn't deny the gap between the Capital and Central City. A senior researcher from Central City had just been publicly assaulted here. Central City now had a pretext to take action, and Selena would undoubtedly be held accountable.

The mechanical engineer who had been slapped cried with a tremor in her voice, "I'm sorry, Director. It's all my fault..."

The other engineers present also panicked.

A few Union University students crouched at the back, watching the scene with strange expressions.

Kevin frowned, "Did it really have to come to blows?"

Felix joyfully extended his hand, "I won! Pay up!"

The others turned to look at him, one after another.
