Selena didn't have many friends in the research institute, and it would be a disadvantage for her to go alone.
Selena was about to refuse, but when she saw the emptiness in Hattie's eyes, she suddenly changed her mind. "Okay, I'll take Hattie with me."
It was just a training exercise. Even if Diana and others tried to sabotage it, Selena was confident that she could protect Hattie. Moreover, it was time for this child who was trapped in darkness to see the most selfless and powerful force and emotion in the world.
Hattie smiled happily and immediately ran upstairs to change clothes.
The butlers and others looked at this scene helplessly.
Selena noticed the group's gaze and coughed awkwardly.
Osvaldo looked at her expression and smirked, reaching out to touch her cheek. "Have fun."
Selena, "..."
In the end, under Selena's protest, the luggage was not taken onto the car.
Selena had nothing in her hands, while Hattie carried a backpack. Leia drove the two sisters to the research institute.
When Selena arrived at the research institute, Patrick had just brought the Turner family to the door.
When Patrick saw Selena's appearance, he clearly hesitated, his gaze falling on Hattie, who was following her. "Selena, what are you..."
Selena held Hattie's hand. "Hattie is with me."
Patrick frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but when he looked at Selena's eyes, he didn't say anything and just said, "Come in."
After Selena and Hattie went in, Patrick whispered to his assistant behind him, "Call Fraser and tell him to keep an eye on them!"
Although he knew that Selena was not someone who didn't know the severity of the situation, she must have something to rely on to bring Hattie with her. But two powerless girls... were still too dangerous.
Especially with Freddie and Diana, and even people from the Second District, who obviously had bad intentions.
The assistant nodded, and then remembered something and said, "By the way, young master, Miss asked her assistant to convey a message to the Turner family yesterday, and she asked me to tell you today."
Patrick was taken aback. "What message?"
The assistant leaned in and whispered something in Patrick's ear.
A glint flashed through Patrick's eyes as he looked at Selena's gradually disappearing figure. After a moment, he followed her.
...
In the conference room.
Diana stood with her arms crossed, wearing a heroic and chic outfit, accompanied by several young men and women behind her, all with unparalleled pride on their faces.
Freddie sat on the sofa with a cold tone, "Listen, this training match is about the face of the Shaw family and the institute, both of which must be utilized properly!"
In other words, this competition held by the institute and Union University is a chance for Diana and others to gain favor from the Shaw family. With this experience, the talents they cultivate can get closer to the major districts.
Diana remembered that Selena would also participate in this training match, and a hint of hostility flashed in her eyes. "Mr. Shaw, rest assured, we are not like those fools from Dennis' group! This training match... is Selena's end point!"
