Christ smiled coldly, his eyes scanning over the messenger. "Do you have a problem?"
The messenger's back chilled, realizing he had overstepped his bounds. He lowered his head and said, "I'll go take care of it right away!"
With that, he went to make a phone call. After the room cleared, Christ stood up from the couch and walked towards the door. But before he could even leave, he ran into Winnie, who was coming towards him.
Despite Winnie's attempts to hide it, her eyes betrayed a hint of unease. "Brother, Grandpa wants to see you immediately!"
Christ dangerously narrowed his eyes. His people wouldn't dare to speak behind his back to Dexter, so it couldn't have been about today's events. It had to be something else.
Christ smiled mischievously, took a cigarette from his pocket, and turned around to casually make his way to see Dexter.
In the office, Selena had caught the group of researchers red-handed and was now holding them accountable. This was their first confrontation, and they were all fuming with anger.
However, the main culprit was sitting there calmly, tapping on his phone with ease, ignoring the intense glares of the group.
They had heard rumors about the Turner family's daughter being a troublemaker, but she was just a young girl under 20. These ministers and scholars, who were used to big scenes, didn't think much of her before meeting her.
Now that they were face to face with her, they realized just how formidable she could be. Selena didn't say anything, but for some reason, nobody dared to stand up to her in front of so many people.
In the end, Cohen spoke up. "Selena, you've seen the voting results. Your proposal has been rejected, and this matter will be dealt with internally by our research department."
Feeling that the decision was final, Cohen let out a breath of relief and looked at Selena with an uncomfortable smile. "But please rest assured, Lady Selena. This matter concerns the interests of the sixth district. When it comes to Lydia and Dennis, our research department will speak only the truth and will not be biased towards anyone."
After sending the last message to Osvaldo, Selena put away her phone after confirming their plans to go back to the Anderson family in the evening. Then, Selena raised her snow-white chin and looked at Cohen, "What did you just say?"
Her casual and indifferent tone of questioning made it seem like she had been distracted and hadn't heard what Cohen said.
When Cohen met her dark and cold eyes, he felt a chill in his heart. After snapping out of it, he thought Selena was deliberately humiliating him, and he was both surprised and angry. He sternly reprimanded, "Selena, this is an internal matter of the research department. Do you really have to stir up trouble and disturb the whole research institute?"
"Furthermore," Cohen looked at Selena, with a clear hint of contempt on his face. "Lady Selena, you are just a so-called 'Vice Dean.' In terms of qualifications, everyone here is more experienced than you, and in terms of strength, you are nothing but a joke!"
"Besides being called 'Vice Dean,' you have no right to interfere with anything in the research institute. You should be aware of this!"
The last two sentences clearly expressed the thoughts of most people present. Although they were all old enough to be Selena's grandparents, they were still pushed around and scolded by this younger generation. They were extremely unhappy and immediately sided with Cohen.
"Just follow Cohen's opinion and deal with the internal affairs of the research department. It shouldn't waste anyone else's time and energy!"

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...
