Lydia's gaze swept over the middle-aged man standing behind Diana and she gritted her teeth, suppressing the anger from being hit, and coldly asked, "Cohen, you have never interfered in the conflicts of the major families before, but now you have openly led people to trespass into the Turner Family. What does this mean?"
The factions in the research institute were complex, and the infighting was very serious. Cohen was the head of the research department and could fully represent the attitude of the department.
Cohen gave her a faint glance and said, "It means what you see. Diana has earned a lot of resources for the research department this year and even brought back the Sacred Pearl. The research department should stand by her side."
Lydia's eyes turned red again, this time from anger.
She had worked tirelessly in the research department for so many years, and Cohen had always shown that he valued her. She had also always respected him as a teacher.
But she never expected that as soon as Patrick fell, these people would abandon her at the first opportunity.
The medical school was doing everything possible to save Patrick, and if even her research institute, which had cost her years of effort, chose to stand by and watch, then the Turner Family would really have to fight alone.
Lydia felt cold. She felt as if she was standing alone at the edge of a cold cliff, where a gentle push from these people could send her plummeting into the abyss.
She looked hopefully at the people behind Cohen.
She looked at her former friends, hoping to hear a word of support.
Members of the research department avoided her gaze, some sneered, some gloated, some remained silent, and some turned their heads away.
Only no one stood up to speak for her.
A trace of cold despair spread in Lydia's heart. Finally, she looked at a handsome young man standing behind Diana, with a pale face and a pleading tone, "Dennis..."
Dennis seemed guilty and dared not look at her, avoiding her gaze.
Alina saw this and sneered, raising her chin as she grabbed Dennis's arm, "Lydia, Dennis is my boyfriend now. How dare you publicly seduce my boyfriend? Shameless!"
After speaking, she seemed so angry that she even slapped Lydia's face, imitating Diana's action.
Dennis was stunned, seeming to want to say something, but his mouth moved, and in the end, he lowered his head and said nothing.
Lydia felt as if she had been struck and couldn't even feel the pain on her face.
She stared at the young man opposite her, using all her willpower to not cry out in pain.
Diana seemed to have had enough of her former rival's pitiful state of being ostracized and stepped forward slowly, with a proud smile on her face. "Lydia, I am officially informing you now that you have been expelled from the research department. Don't ever say that you are a member of our institute again. You no longer have that qualification!"
After speaking, she turned around and looked at the group of aristocratic offspring who were enjoying the show behind her. "The matter of the institute has been resolved. Now, it's your turn to shine on your home turf."
Upon hearing Diana's words, Lydia hurriedly suppressed her emotions, straightened her back, and angrily said, "The Turner family is closed for visitors today. We won't receive anyone. Please leave!"
Claudia Jackson sneered with a disdainful tone, "The Turner family, a small collateral branch, actually dares to talk to us like this? It's simply ridiculous!"
Diana smiled faintly. "Miss Jackson is right. We didn't teach her the rules, and it's our fault as well as Cohen's. Since we are fellow students, I will teach her a lesson again properly. Don't worry, I will make sure that Miss Jackson is satisfied with the outcome!"

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...
