As the new head of the Research Department, Selena's prestige was bound to plummet.
The popularity she had worked so hard to build up before would also go down the drain.
Despite the young girl's worried gaze, Selena's face remained unchanged as she asked, "Is this the place?"
Marley snapped out of her thoughts, looked up, and realized that they had already arrived at the Research Department. She nodded immediately, "Here we are, Miss Turner, please go in."
Selena nodded back at Marley and walked in without any hesitation.
The internal staff of the Research Department were taken aback when they saw Selena. The department had suffered greatly since Miss Turner joined the institute.
Cohen was dismissed, Dennis was stripped of his status as a mechanic and kicked out of the institute for plagiarizing Lydia, and Diana had a car crash and was arrested. In addition, many other young and talented people, such as Alina, Natalie, and Miriam, were implicated in two incidents. Miss Turner had cleaned them all out. Now she had become the head of the Research Department in broad daylight. How could the others not be afraid?
Ignoring the many different looks cast upon her, Selena looked around the environment of the Research Department. Though she appeared easygoing, she was known for being picky and delicate. As she was about to take on her new role, she wouldn't mind spending a little effort to make some changes. After all, this place had been plagued by monsters before.
Selena didn't speak, and the others naturally didn't dare to speak either. Lydia received a call from Patrick and hurried over as soon as she heard that Selena was taking office today. "Miss, you're here."
Without her coat on, it was evident that she had rushed over from an experiment. Selena glanced at Lydia, "Go back and continue with your experiment." Then she sat down on the chair by the window and said in a light tone, "Can someone introduce me to the basic situation of the Research Department?"
Lydia didn't dare to disobey Selena's wishes. Seeing that Selena didn't have any other matters to attend to, she turned around and left. The group of people left behind looked at each other but no one stepped forward.
Leia narrowed her eyes, her expression turning sour. Selena smiled slightly. The Research Department was the Shaw family's territory. With the Shaw family in power for many years, most of the people inside would definitely be from the Shaw family. Their attitude towards her, an unpopular and untrustworthy department head, would naturally not be good.
But the cautionary tale of Dennis and Diana was there, and even the most arrogant person would not dare to say they were not afraid of Selena's thunderous methods. So the best course of action was to play dead. As long as they did not make any mistakes in their work, Selena would not be able to find any leverage against them.
With her hand lazily propped against her forehead, Selena watched the scene unfold and gave a smile. She was about to teach this group of people a lesson but suddenly, the sound of high heels clacking on the ground outside interrupted her.
In the next second, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Vivian stood outside the door and saw Selena sitting in the research department's position as if it were her own, her eyes flashing with disgust. The other members of the research department saw Vivian and breathed a sigh of relief, respectfully calling out, "Miss Shaw!"
Vivian looked at Selena and lifted her chin, saying coldly, "Selena, the deans of the institute and Zone Six are all out on business these days and have no time to deal with your affairs. Until you hand over the promised design, you have no right to sit in this position. Now, stand up and get out!"
Selena smiled coldly and asked, "Miss Shaw, what did you say? I didn't hear you. Can you say it again?"
Facing those chilling eyes, Vivian's spine shuddered. Leia pointed at Vivian's nose and started to curse, "Lady Selena's position as head of the research department was personally confirmed by the deans of the institute and Zone Six. Who do you think you are to make Lady Selena leave?"
As Leia spoke angrily, she took out her phone and said, "I want to see what happens when your words reach the ears of the Zone Six deans. What will be the fate of this so-called Miss Shaw?"

The readers' comments on the novel: Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh
From the beginning of the story to page 148, the plot is just going in circles about fighting. So ridiculous and waste of time to read! I have no patience for these kind stories. Be more creative if you’re planning to write a book/story!!!...
Beautiful story...
