Chapter 1630: | can't compare to you, you're more likable.
As soon as Winnie spoke, the entire room fell silent. Selena raised an eyebrow and looked over at her. She noticed that although
sof the wealthy young ladies in attendance were surprised, they weren't particularly shocked.
Alisha stood up immediately after and smiled warmly. "Miss Lillian may not know this, but when it comes to treasures, while the
capital may not be able to compete with Central City in terms of technology or military might, we still have confidence in our own
treasures and are willing to go head-to-head with Central City."
"Compared to what my the capital has hidden away," Alisha's gaze swept over those three boxes before continuing on. "These
three trinkets Miss Lillian has brought cannot compare; they can only serve as icing on the cake."
Originally, Central City could have exchanged their technological patents for these items. But Lab 717 had blocked that path
entirely - anything that Central City Research Institute could produce would undoubtedly be something Lab 717 could also produce.

bothering to conceal it: "Are you all trying... to compete with us for treasure?!"
She seemed like she had heard a particularly funny joke and even laughed out loud: "It's not that | look down on the capital; | just
want everyone here to understand that these three items brought by Central City cannot be bought with money nor compared with
ordinary treasures! My advice is for you all to take them obediently then release Mr. Hall."
She looked at everyone present magnanimously before finally turning her gaze towards Selena wearing an expression suggesting
gratitude was expected of her: "Miss Turner should understand the gap between the capital and Central City!"
"Rebelling pointlessly is a waste of tas well as losing face - why bother?" Bianca giggled sarcastically while subtly mocking
them.
"Do you really want many young ladies from the capital humiliated because of you? Miss Turner wouldn't want such a scene
either?"
"Central City is already giving Miss Turner face by exchanging these three items for Mr. Hall - don't push your luck!"
Selena glanced at Bianca disdainfully before speaking up again.
Bianca's gaze met Selena's, and she felt a sudden chill in her heart. When she looked again, Selena had already shifted her eyes
away.
She looked at Lillian and said, "One Beatrice wasn't enough, now there's another... Whose person did they lose?"
Lillian didn't seem to catch Selena's sarcasm. She smiled leisurely at the angry young ladies present and said, "You know I'm not as
likable as you are."
Although she spoke like this, Lillian was not surprised by the situation where the wealthy young ladies of the capital were willing to
stand up for Selena.

With her beauty, nobility and talent bestowed upon her by Her Majesty the Empress Dowager herself, it was only natural that men
would be attracted to such a girl.
If it weren't for Stanley keeping a close eye on things all these years and preventing any talented young men who sought an
audience with Her Majesty from being sent all the way from Central City to the Mediterranean Sea...
Lillian knew that when it cto this point, she couldn't compare with Selena.
Without saying anything unnecessary, Bianca instantly understood that Lillian had no intention of stopping her.
Feeling even more arrogant than before now that she had been given free rein by Lillian's silence on the matter, Bianca turned
towards Selena and said, "Miss Turner, in front of absolute strength, you can talk all you want but it won't do any good."
"If you have something precious then bring it out so we can fight over it. If not then shut your mouth quietly, and release Mr. Hall!"
She sneered, "It is our honor in Central City to make this deal with you. Don't act shamelessly!"
