"Being blinded by your own arrogance can only lead to your downfall. There are only two possibilities for you to exhibit such behavior: either you are foolishly ignorant, or you are feeling insecure!"
Diana's back suddenly became covered in cold sweat as she clenched her teeth.
Freddie's sharp gaze turned towards her, and even many of the members of the research department were looking at her. Diana was indeed outstanding among the younger generation, but that was all. When it came to actual strength and talent, she couldn't even compare to Lydia. If it weren't for the "Sacred Pearl," the Shaw family wouldn't have placed their hopes on her.
While Lydia was standing behind Selena as a mere backdrop, Diana was still looking down on Selena with arrogance. What was the reason for this? Even the higher-ups didn't dare to easily conclude on Selena's abilities.
Diana coldly stared at Selena and sneered, "Lady Selena, you're overthinking. I just dislike you, that's all!"
Freddie withdrew his gaze. Diana's thoughts towards Osvaldo were not a secret, and now Selena was trying to compete with her for the position of the research department's head. It was reasonable for Diana to hate Selena.
Selena glanced at Diana and then lightly stretched out her hand. Leia took a step forward and handed a few sheets of paper she had been intently examining to Selena.
Selena casually handed them to the nearest mechanic who had followed her upstairs. "These are the designs I drew on the Capital University campus just now. I think they are enough to prove my worth in the research department."
The mechanic was stunned at first, but when he saw what Selena handed him, he couldn't help but tremble and almost snatched the paper from her hand. "This is... the Dyson sphere formula!"
Several old scientists who were sitting nearby heard the commotion and looked over. When they saw the designs and theoretical formulas on the paper, they exclaimed in shock.
"The Dyson sphere formula!"
"Someone actually managed to calculate it..."
A group of old scientists carefully held the papers, their excitement overflowing.
Although they were speaking up for Selena, their despairing expressions said it all.
The whole room fell silent.
Selena looked Henry straight in the eye and proudly declared, "The head of the Research Department can only be me!"
In her area of expertise, she could not possibly play a supporting role to anyone else.
Freddie gazed deeply at Selena, his expression flickering.
Diana's heart tightened, and she sneered, "You want us to believe you with just a theory formula that you wrote ahead of time... Selena, how do we know that you didn't plagiarize it from someone else?"
Selena glanced at Diana, seemingly uninterested in arguing with her.
Those few old scientists who were holding the papers and reading them intently were furious.
"Enough!" The most irritable mathematician in the Mathematics Department pointed at Diana and exploded, "Ignorant and stupid thing! Do you even know what the Dyson sphere theory is? It is a concept that humans have yet to fully comprehend. As of now, no one in the world has been able to calculate it! Where could Professor Turner have plagiarized it from?"
The old mechanic from the Research Department also got angry and said, "Whether it is the theory of mecha or today's Dyson sphere theory, they are all advanced theories in the weapon research process. This is enough to prove that Professor Turner is a super genius and should be respected by the entire Research Department!"
