For a moment, they couldn't find anything wrong with Freddie's decision, but he also couldn't say anything due to his indecisiveness.
Selena cast a cold glance at Vivian and said, "Miss Shaw, you are right. It's like how Osvaldo likes me and not you. You can only blame yourself for not being likable enough!"
Vivian was struck in the most painful place in her heart and her face turned blue immediately. She stood up and slammed the table, shouting, "Selena!"
Selena's tone was calm as she said, "Isn't that what you meant?"
Vivian was filled with hatred, but she couldn't come up with a rebuttal. After all, she was the one who had spoken those words just seconds ago.
Freddie said coldly, "Miss Turner, you should know when to stop. If you have too big of an appetite, you'll end up choking yourself!"
His words carried a clear threat.
Selena smiled coldly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shaw. I can swallow up the entire research institute, let alone the Shaw family."
Freddie's expression immediately turned cold, and the viciousness in his eyes was no longer concealed. The atmosphere in the conference room seemed to freeze in an instant.
The top executives of the research institute frowned as they watched the confrontation between the Turner family and the Shaw family.
Selena refused to back down, and Freddie couldn't allow her to achieve her goal. These two powerful families were about to have a showdown.
Although Selena was just a weak woman, Patrick was sitting next to her. Moreover, her boyfriend was Osvaldo!
Henry's expression darkened. The Turner family and the Poole family were mortal enemies. Once the Shaw family retreated, the Turner family would deal with the Shaw family first, and then the Poole family would be next.
Regardless of the relationship between the Poole family and the Shaw family, the two families must be united in their stance against the Turner family. This was the order given to him by the Shaw family patriarch!
As for the strange incident where they had agreed to Selena's proposal for collective arbitration last time, he had already figured out that it was the work of the Poole family's young master.
Dexter was furious about it. If he hadn't agreed to Selena's proposal at the time, things wouldn't have come to this point today.
Henry looked at Christ with displeasure in his eyes.
Callum caused trouble for Dexter's granddaughter in the past, causing the Poole family to lose a precious gem. He not only abandoned his family name and betrayed the family but also hated the patriarch and vowed to never associate with the Poole family again. Now, his daughter is causing trouble for the Poole family's great-grandson. If another Milana were to appear, Dexter would be driven crazy!
Furthermore, unlike Katie, who is just a granddaughter, Christ is the designated heir of the Poole family. If Selena ruins him, the Poole family will decline. Henry shook his head in dismay at the thought. It seemed like the Poole family owed the Turner family a debt.
Seeing both sides at a stalemate, Henry suddenly spoke up, "Miss Turner, Mr. Shaw has a point. Based on just a text message, there is no way to convict the executives of the institute. If you have no other evidence, then you should follow Mr. Shaw's advice."
Everyone knew that Henry was from the Poole family and his position represented the family's stance. Although there were some within the institute who sided with the Turner family, more had already pledged their allegiance to the Poole and Shaw families. With the Poole family openly supporting the Shaw family, the matter was as good as settled.
