Penelope apologized to Selena, but Selena didn't even bother to turn her head to see her.
Just as she took a few steps away, she saw Principal Chow rushing towards her with a group of people.
Selena stopped in her tracks, turned around, and her icy gaze silently and sharply slid across Cameron's face.
Cameron avoided her gaze and went back to comfort Penelope.
Principal Chow ran up, out of breath from the rush, but too excited to catch his breath. He asked, "Selena, I just received news that you came to the laboratory to look for something your father left behind. Is it true?"
Selena held the old man's hand and said helplessly, "I'm not sure if it's there, I just came to try my luck."
Principal Chow immediately asked, "Did you find it?"
Selena shook her head, "I haven't gone in yet."
Nova instinctively added, "She was just chased out!"
Principal Chow was taken aback, "What do you mean, chased out?"
Nova was silenced by her sister, whimpering and unable to speak.
Leia played with her toy wand and pointed behind her to a group of people with pale faces. "They chased us out of the laboratory, saying that Lady Selena had no shame and was not qualified to enter the laboratory, and that Lady Selena should roll as far away as possible!"
Principal Chow's face turned pale, "Absurd!"
The school leaders following behind him also got angry and stared at the people standing at the entrance of the laboratory. "The laboratory was built with the Turner family's money, and most of the equipment inside was left by Callum. What do you mean by saying that his daughter is not qualified to enter?"
It was precisely because the underground laboratory was built with the Turner family's money, and most of the equipment inside was left by Callum, that Principal Chow didn't register Selena to go in. Who would have thought that such an absurd thing would happen?
The people who told Selena to leave a moment ago now turned pale.
Penelope shrunk behind Cameron, shaking with anger. She thought the previous two incidents were humiliating enough, but she didn't expect Selena to turn her into a living joke!
Selena rubbed her forehead with her hand. She didn't expect things to escalate to this point, but now that it had, it was unlikely that she wouldn't go in and take a look today.
"Well, let's go in and take a look."
Selena turned around and walked back. Leia smiled and followed her, the Cooke sisters excitedly followed behind her, and Hamish continued to lead the way.
This time, no one stopped her.
On the contrary, as Selena walked by, everyone instinctively took a step back. Principal Chow led a group of people behind Selena, and they all walked in a mighty procession to the Four Directions Corridor that Selena was looking for.
Hamish turned around and said, "This place has been abandoned for a long time because of its terrain. Now it's used to store some miscellaneous items... Did Dean Turner put the things here?"
Selena looked around and said, "I don't know."
Principal Chow couldn't help but ask, "Then why did you come here to look for it?"
Selena said with a smile, "In the materials in the library, I found several interesting sets of numbers that, when combined, seem to form a map..."
In other words, she was not sure if there was anything here. Brian frowned and asked, "Didn't Dean Turner leave you a message to come to the laboratory to find it?"
Selena glanced at him indifferently and couldn't be bothered to answer such questions.
