As soon as Henry left and returned to the office, everyone's eyes immediately turned towards him.
Henry waved his hand. "We'll do as Lady Selena said!"
Selena's eyes flashed with a dark light.
Cohen was taken aback and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. "Vice Dean--"
"That's enough!" Henry gave him a stern look. "Meeting adjourned!"
He had to personally go to the Poole family and find out what was going on.
Selena pursed her lips and stood up from her chair, turning and walking towards the door.
She ran into Diana, who was leading a group of people coming in from outside.
Diana's eyes turned bloodshot as soon as she saw Selena, and the bitterness in her pupils was almost impossible to conceal.
But Selena seemed to not see her and walked past the group of people with a cold expression.
Diana stared at Selena, full of resentment in her voice. "Vice Dean, Cohen, Selena just openly attacked in the research institute and allowed her assistant to injure Dennis. Please arrest her immediately!"
"We already know about this," Henry said, looking at the group of young people following behind Diana with displeasure. "In seven days, there will be a public arbitration between Lydia and Dennis in each department of the research institute regarding ownership of the design plans. You all go back and prepare."
Henry's words were like a loud bell ringing in Diana's ears.
Diana suddenly froze.
Alina's angry face almost split apart.
Natalie's eyes were full of panic.
Dennis's mind was buzzing, his hands trembling uncontrollably. He instinctively refused, "Dean Matthews, Lydia is no longer a member of the research institute. There is no need--"
"That's enough!" Cohen interrupted Dennis angrily, staring at him with fiery eyes, trying to suppress his anger and spoke with a contemptuous and arrogant tone. "The truth speaks for itself. If it's yours, it's yours. It can't be taken away by those meddling thieves. Dennis, I believe in you."
Dennis stiffened, the veins on the back of his hand bulging. He subtly signaled to Diana with his eyes, but to his surprise, she did not speak up to help him out.
The woman glared at Selena's back as she walked away, her eyes full of hatred, unable to tell what she was thinking.
Dennis took a deep breath and realized that because of his hesitation and loss of control, the eyes of the department heads were already looking at him with a hint of subtlety. He gritted his teeth and said, "I understand, teacher."
Selena walked out of the research institute's gate with Leia and Lydia. As Selena was about to get into her car, Lydia couldn't hold it in any longer and said, "Miss, I'm sorry, but I might not be able to provide evidence in seven days..."
Selena turned to look at her.
Lydia lowered her head in shame. "The people in the research department don't get along with me. Even if Natalie saw it, she wouldn't help me testify..."
And her previous self-righteous evidence had just been denied by Cohen.
Seeing her nervousness, Selena suddenly smiled, her beautiful red lips slightly raised, showing a mischievous expression that she was accustomed to playing with people's hearts.
Leia shuddered at the sight of Selena's expression.
Selena only showed this devilish and fairy-like smile when she was planning to deceive someone big time.
If nothing unexpected happens, the entire research department will probably be deceived by her this time.
Selena's slender fingers rolled the strand of black hair that was hanging down her ear to the side, and her tone was casual, "I'm asking you, what is the source of inspiration for a mechanic?"
