Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh novel Chapter 908

Chapter 908 All of you in the research department are garbage!

Cohen stared at Selena with a fierce look in his eyes.

In the end, he had to admit defeat and turned to look at the chairman, bowing his head. "I'm sorry. I didn't investigate this matter thoroughly and made a decision without authorization. I'm willing to accept punishment."

Everyone in the conference room's expression turned white.

Several deans on the main seat stared at Cohen with eyes full of suppressed anger.

Dean Matthews even cursed out loud, "You bastard! What do you think you are?"

A weapon designer who was awarded a first-class certificate by the country was casually dismissed by someone's words. Isn't this treating the law as a joke?

Absurd!

If this were to spread, the reputation of the Research Institute would be ruined in an instant!

Cohen felt the angry and dissatisfied gazes falling on him, and gritted his teeth in secret.

In the dead silence, Selena's lips curled up in a faint sneer, her tone cold and faint. "Cohen, the person who should apologize the most is here!"

Cohen's face twisted slightly. He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, turning to Lydia and reluctantly bowing. "I'm sorry. It was my oversight."

Lydia looked at the man who was bowing and scraping before her, her eyes reddening, but she felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in her heart.

She realized for the first time that the middle-aged man who had been so imposing in her eyes for so many years was not scary at all.

Lydia straightened her back, thinking of how Cohen had led the research department to barge into the Turner Family with an imposing manner, how arrogant and cruel he was when he killed and bullied the people of the Turner Family. Her eyes became colder and she sneered, "Although you apologized, I won't say it's okay!"

Compared to the grievances and humiliations she had suffered over the past few days, Cohen's casual apology was not enough to make up for it.

Cohen clenched his fist in anger and looked up at Lydia, his eyes full of fury. "I am your mentor!"

Lydia quietly glanced at Selena, met her encouraging smile, took a deep breath, and strengthened her momentum. "Rubbish mentor! You've been painting for so many years and still can't paint as well as me. Are you qualified to be my teacher?"

Cohen probably didn't expect Lydia to argue back and speak so disrespectfully towards him, which made him furious. "You-"

"Isn't what I said correct?" Perhaps with Selena supporting her, Lydia had suppressed her anger for too long and was no longer afraid of him. She angrily retorted, "Or maybe we can investigate and see how much contribution I, Lydia, have made to the research institute and the major military regions over the years, while you, Cohen, have done nothing?"

"Compared to my medals, everyone in the research department is garbage!" Cohen was so angry that his face turned pale and then red, but he couldn't find a word to refute Lydia.

He was more aware than anyone else that at least more than half of the honors in the research department were earned by Lydia. This was a fact that could be easily verified, and once investigated, it would only make him more embarrassed.

Selena paused for a moment and then turned her attention directly to Dean Matthews. "As the deputy dean of the research institute, I demand a public arbitration. Does anyone oppose?"

Cohen was startled and looked at the other vice deans sitting at the main table.

Public arbitration referred to an investigation and punishment involving all the high-ranking officials from every department of the research institute. Anyone who was proven to have committed plagiarism would have their reputation ruined for life.

Dean Matthews frowned and said in a deep voice, "This is an internal matter for the research department. The participation of the research department's academicians in the investigation is enough, and there's no need to make a fuss."

Just as Cohen breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Selena's slow, cold voice, "From this video, we can also see how Lydia was treated in the research department all these years. I have every reason to suspect that many of the research department's academicians would distort the truth in order to protect their own people."

At these words, all the high-ranking officials from the research department looked grave.

An academician from the research department slammed the table and stood up. "Selena, this is the research institute, not the Turner family. Please watch your words!"

Selena smiled and looked at them coldly. She calmly asked, "Did I say something wrong? From what I hear, isn't the research institute supposed to abide by the principle of 'strength first, fairness and justice' instead of your principle of 'fiefdom'?"

Before anyone could refute her, Selena continued in a cold voice, "Please understand one thing. Lydia is a miss from the Turner family and a gun designer from the First and Sixth Military District. She's a nationally protected talent!"

"A talent like her has been unfairly expelled and maligned, and all of you have turned a blind eye and allowed this precious national talent to be maliciously humiliated right under your noses. This is negligence on the part of the entire research institute!"
