Chapter 906 Frustration Without Selena's arrival, it was easy to imagine how frustrated they were.
Most of the people in the large office had gloomy expressions.
Cohen threw his water cup onto the table. "This is simply too much!" Another academician sitting beside him spoke angrily, "The Turner family is clearly playing us! They allowed blonde girl to hurt our people, and then they humiliated our research institute. Vice Dean, we cannot tolerate such humiliation!" "This Selena... she's simply ignorant!" As the group launched a fierce verbal attack on Selena, the office door suddenly pushed open from the outside.
The group, who were just getting worked up, turned to see a woman in white clothes and black hair standing at the door, her cold gaze sweeping across the room.
Selena had been extremely popular in capital lately, and coupled with her face that resembled Nevaeh's, there were almost no one present who didn't know her.
Seeing the person they were criticizing had come, the voices of the group suddenly quieted down.
However, before they could speak to question her, Selena slightly raised her lips and threw the job offer letter in her hand on the table with a "slap". "You're all here? Perfect!" Without giving anyone a chance to speak, Selena's electric gaze turned towards Cohen. "There's something you must explain to me right away!" The group, who were still trying to find their voice, were suddenly stunned by her demand.

What explanation? Before they could recover, Leia had already skillfully opened the big screen and played the surveillance footage in her hand.
The group's eyes were instinctively drawn to the screen. When they finished watching the footage, the entire office fell silent, as if you could hear a pin drop.
Cohen's face suddenly changed, and he slapped the table heavily with both hands. "Selena, how dare you lay a hand on someone in the research institute?" Despite his anger, Selena's smile didn't change in the slightest, and she raised an eyebrow. "So what? Are you going to call the police to arrest me?" Cohen was enraged, "You--" But he didn't dare to really say the words "call the police to arrest Selena".
Putting aside whether Dennis really took Lydia's design, this incident was a scandal for the research department.
Once exposed, the face of the department head would not look good.
A group of people on the scene were all dumbfounded.
They never thought that before they could put Selena in her place, the other side would first heavily expose a scandal on their faces.
The atmosphere froze for a while.
Selena hugged her arms, her lips curved with a cold smile, "What's the reason why you dare not call the police? Is it because you are afraid of feeling ashamed, or do you actually know the truth and deliberately condone those scumbags under your hand to lie and bully and exclude people from the Turner family?" Cohen's face changed, "You're talking nonsense!" The accusation was too big, and he couldn't afford to admit it, otherwise the entire research department would be destroyed with one misstep.
"Then why don't you just call the police? Let them investigate this matter?" Selena raised her pretty chin, "I'm waiting for you to call the police, why don't you do it?" Cohen glared at Selena, wishing he could eat her.
Selena sneered and took out her phone from her pocket, "What you dare not do, | will!" Seeing Selena about to call the police, Cohen's face turned pale. He suddenly turned to the person sitting at the head, "Dean Matthews, this matter concerns the reputation of the entire research institute, and we absolutely cannot call the police!" The Dean sitting at the head had a calm face, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "Miss Turner, please put down your phone!" Selena sneered, "Why should I?" Dean Matthews took a deep breath, his face turning slightly pale, "Miss Turner, please don't forget that you are also a member of the research institute at this moment, and you have a responsibility to uphold the reputation of the research institute." Selena's lips curled, "But before | came in, | clearly heard countless voices saying they didn't welcome me and wanted to drive me out. I'm 19 and have good hearing... so what's going on?" After this was said, everyone on the scene twitched violently.
Dean Matthews glared at those who had just clamored to drive Selena out, his eyes showing some resentment.
Under the warning glances of several academicians, those who had just said they wanted to drive Selena out showed twisted smiles on their faces, saying, "Lady Selena, it was just a misunderstanding. We really welcome you to join the research institute!" "It was all a misunderstanding. We hope you can be magnanimous and not take it to heart." Everyone said, feeling extremely resentful.
Before Selena arrived, they had tried countless ways to drive her out, but they never thought that in the end they would have to beg her to stay like a welcome party.

At this point, everyone glared at Cohen with fierce eyes.
It's all the fault of the research department! If it was just a lawsuit between Dennis and Lydia, it wouldn't be a big deal. Every place has its own scandals.
But unfortunately, everyone in the research department was involved in that video. If it turns out that Lydia is actually the victim, the entire prestigious reputation of the research institute would be ruined overnight! Most importantly, Lydia is from the Turner family, which is a well-known noble family.
Especially after Selena's perfume competition yesterday, the reputation of the Turner family has risen. Many eyes in H Country, or even the whole world, are now fixed on them.
If rumors spread that a member of the Turner family was bullied in the research institute, they would be drowned in the public's spitting! Therefore, even though everyone was frustrated, they couldn't let Selena reveal this matter.
Selena smiled and said, "Considering that all of you could be my grandfathers, | will indulge your old age this time. Just don't let me see a similar scene again, otherwise we will settle old scores along with new ones!" At this moment, many professors and academicians present twitched their faces collectively, staring at Selena with anger but not daring to speak.
Selena retrieved her phone and raised her chin. "Okay, | promise not to call the police, but you must give me an explanation for this matter!" Cohen breathed a sigh of relief when Selena put down her phone. He angrily replied to Selena's question, "Why should we give you an explanation? Why don't you, the Turner family, give Dennis an explanation?" Cohen glared at Lydia, who was standing behind Selena, with disgust and disdain. "Lydia, do you have any evidence that Dennis took your design?" Lydia had been in the research department for more than ten years, and Cohen had always been complimentary towards her. She thought at first that his strictness towards her was for her own good...
