Once Diana had deciphered the internal structure of the "Sacred Pearl," mass-producing it - even just a small portion - would be enough to boost the Shaw family's power and wealth.
At this thought, the majority of the people in the conference room looked at Diana with envy and flattery in their eyes.
Afraid that Diana would hold a grudge and use the Sacred Pearl against them in the future, many people immediately helped Diana to criticize Selena.
"Selena, your experimental theory is a joke compared to Diana's Sacred Pearl."
"Lady Selena, can you stop making a fuss? Diana has the Sacred Pearl, and the position of the head of the research department can only be hers. You have no qualifications to compete with her!"
Even the neutral faction in the conference room instantly turned against Selena and supported Diana upon hearing her words.
Even those old scientists who had originally sided with Selena were unable to speak at this moment. Because no one could deny the power of the Sacred Pearl.
Selena smiled slowly, ignoring Diana and just giving Freddie a meaningful look. "Mr. Shaw, as someone who grew up with my boyfriend, let me give you a reminder."
Freddie squinted slightly, "Miss Turner, what advice do you have?"
Diana's Sacred Pearl was the biggest trump card in the competition for the head of the research department of the Shaw family. With it, Selena was destined to not get what she wanted the most.
Selena smiled without warmth, "It's not really advice. I just want to tell Mr. Shaw that betting on the wrong thing will lead to a total loss."
"The affairs of the Shaw family are not something Miss Turner needs to worry about," Freddie sneered.
In his eyes, Selena's words were more like an attempt to sow discord after losing as a weakling.
Selena smiled and didn't say anything more because she suddenly changed her mind. She no longer wanted the position of the head of the research department. She wanted to make the entire Shaw family suffer a total loss and to create a brand new research department that belonged only to the Turner family.
As for Diana, upon hearing Selena's words, she just sneered. She was confident that if Selena could do it, she could do it too. She only needed to wait until March, and then she would immediately activate the Sacred Pearl and send Selena to her death.
Selena didn't explain much and just smiled. There was no trace of the disappointment or frustration of a loser on her face. She turned around to leave.
Seeing her move, the people inside the institute began to panic. They were afraid that Selena would really leave, so they immediately asked the Turner and Anderson families to build a new research institute for her. After all, the "Sacred Pearl" was only useful for the research department, and not for other departments. Selena's mind and knowledge were irreplaceable and unimaginable.
The old scientists immediately stood up. "Miss Turner, please stay!"
"Mr. Matthews!"
"Selena, you said it yourself. Diana is better than you, and you handed over the position of the head of the research department. What do you mean by turning around and leaving now? Do you want to go back on your word?"
"Good," Selena walked back with a hint of interest on her lips. "As long as Mr. Matthews, you can promise me one thing, I will voluntarily give up my position as the head of the research department."
Henry's heart began to tighten. Even Freddie sat up straight. After witnessing how difficult Selena was to deal with, everyone became interested in her request.
"My request is simple: I also want to participate in this training session."
In just one sentence, the atmosphere became extremely strange. Everyone looked at Selena in shock, as if they had seen a ghost. Is this spoiled young lady crazy?
Freddie had been tricked by Selena before, so he knew a bit about her. Usually, the simpler Selena's request was, the more she wanted in return. The men looked at Selena with a layer of guardedness in their eyes.
Henry frowned. From his perspective, this request would do no harm to the Research Institute. But precisely because it was too simple, it made people hesitant to agree.
Diana sneered and turned to Freddie, "Mr. Shaw, Lady Selena must be going crazy and wants to elevate herself. After all, it's normal for someone from a small town like her to want to see the true elites."
Freddie furrowed his brow, contemplating for a long time. He couldn't figure out what benefits Selena could gain from this request. As long as the Research Institute gave her a spot, she would completely give up her position as head of the research department... It seemed like a profitable deal.
Seeing Freddie hesitate, a strange glint flickered in Diana's eyes. She leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Mr. Shaw, the battlefield is cruel. Although it's just a training session, injuries are common, and accidents... aren't impossible."
If Selena were to die in this training session, she would have no worries left!

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...
