But why?
Although she had shown some rejection towards Selena before, in the eyes of others, she was just an orphan adopted by the Riddle family. Especially since she was still a student, on the surface, it was absolutely impossible for her to be involved in murder.
Penelope's heart was in turmoil, but she didn't show any expression on her face. She humbly explained, "I went to the Soo family last night and was with Cameron."
Selena's cold gaze fell on Cameron's face, "It was after 8:10 pm last night. Are you sure you saw Penelope with your own eyes?"
Cameron seemed to be taken aback, glanced at Penelope, and lowered his eyes, "Yes."
Penelope felt relieved.
Selena casually said, "Oh," and withdrew her gaze.
Although she didn't say anything else, everyone now heard that she was suspecting Penelope of being the one who attacked her last night.
Everyone's first reaction was that it was impossible. Although Penelope was just the adopted daughter of the Riddle family, she was also famous in the capital as a rich girl who might even faint at the sight of blood. How could she possibly kill someone?
Winnie didn't think highly of Penelope, but she had a natural aversion towards Selena. When she heard Selena's words, she looked at her arrogantly and coldly laughed, "Lady Selena, if you have no evidence and ask such questions, it's equivalent to slandering Penelope's reputation... Don't you owe her an apology?"
Selena's tone was flat, "I was just asking where Miss Penelope was last night. What does this question represent?"
Winnie choked and realized that this sentence seemed to be meaningless. She had embarrassment on her face and angrily glanced at Selena, then withdrew her gaze.
Principal Chow saw that Selena's mental state was not affected, so he put his mind at ease and waved his hand, "It's good that you're okay. You can rest at home for the next few days and come back to school after the award ceremony."
Although time was tight, the girl had a hand injury, and there was nothing they could do about it.
Selena just smiled faintly, didn't say yes or no, and quietly sat in her chair, looking at the people around her.
Winnie hated the high and mighty look on Selena's face, but with a turn of her eyes, she shifted her gaze to Principal Chow and smiled, "Principal, since Lady Selena's hand is injured and she can't conduct experiments for the time being, she shouldn't mind if we borrow the lab for a while, right?"
She continued confidently, "Although we have chips, there's nothing better than face-to-face guidance from Dean Turner. For the development of the domestic medical community, I believe Lady Selena wouldn't be so petty as to leave the lab empty rather than allowing her seniors to use it, right?"
Winnie's words echoed the thoughts of most of the medical students present, and suddenly everyone's gaze, including that of the lab teachers, fell on Selena, with a hint of unspoken expectation and reproach.
Clearly, everyone had grievances over Selena's exclusive use of the lab, but no one dared to say anything because it was a gift from Callum to his daughter, and the principal protected her.
Now that Selena was injured, wasn't this a great opportunity?
If she still refused in this situation, it would surely make everyone's impression of her plummet to the bottom.
Winnie looked at Selena with cold eyes, suppressing a smirk at the corner of her lips.
As the most prestigious daughter of the Poole family, Selena had been praised by everyone since she was young. Before Selena came to the capital, all the best resources were at her service at any occasion.
But things had changed since Selena arrived in the capital.
