Chapter 950 Don't be afraid of me! "The Turner family no longer has the final say in the Institute. We must know when to stop and not act foolishly by harming ourselves more than the enemy," Henry said in a calm voice.
"So, Mr. Matthews is warning me to swallow my anger and let it go?" Selena smiled.
Henry did not deny it and replied, "We will compensate the Turner family appropriately." To his surprise, Selena nodded and said, "Okay." The atmosphere in the office suddenly became quiet. It was unexpected that she would compromise so easily.
Although they did not know what Selena was up to, her willingness to let go of the theft incident was a good thing for the Institute.
Henry breathed a sigh of relief and was about to inform Selena of the compensation they had agreed on when she suddenly raised her chin and said loudly, "I want to be the head of the Research Department!" The faces of the people in the room, who had just begun to soften, turned black as if they were in a pot. Was this Miss Turner from the Turner family determined to argue with the Shaw family to the bitter end? Freddie and Diana, who had just arrived at the door, turned pale when they heard Selena's demand.

"Miss Turner, you're going too far!" Freddie pushed the door open with a dark face and glared at Selena.
"Miss Turner, the compensation that the Institute is offering the Turner family is no worse than the position of the head of the Research Department. Your behavior is deliberately provocative," Henry said, frowning.
His words were not groundless. After investigating Selena's actions, no one would be foolish enough to try to deceive her at this time.
It could be said that the Shaw family and the Poole family had really shed blood to appease Selena.
Diana sneered, "Lady Selena, because of you, so many people have been fired from the Research Department.
What else do you want? Do you really want to kill everyone who offends you before you're willing to stop?" Selena's gaze swept coldly over Diana, and she said calmly, "lI want to be the head of the Research Department, not to target anyone, but because it's my specialty and expertise. As a mechanical engineer, should | not be in the Research Department? Should | be a vase in the Engineering Department?" Diana's face suddenly turned ugly. The others on the scene were also at a loss for words. After thinking carefully, Selena seemed to have mentioned that her major was mechanical engineering. It was only natural for a mechanical engineer to work in the Research Department.
"If they forcibly transfer Selena, I'm afraid the group of old mechanics in the research department will be the first to refuse!" Diana clenched her fingers in anger, but her face carried a nonchalant smile as she bit out the words, "Selena, you claim to be a mechanic, but we've searched all the top schools worldwide and haven't found any records of you learning anything besides medicine!" "Just saying you're a mechanic without any proof doesn't mean you can enter our research department. The entrance requirements for our department are very high and not something anyone can just enter by relying on their family background. If you want to enter, you need to be worthy of our research department." Diana's words instantly reminded everyone else in the room. Indeed, ever since Selena publicly revealed her physics theory three days ago, the research institute had started investigating Selena's background to see where she learned her mechanical knowledge.
However, Selena's records showed that, apart from studying high school physics, she had never come into contact with any mechanical knowledge. With a blank academic record, what right did Selena have to demand the position of the research department head? Although her theory about mechs was excellent, it hadn't made a big enough impact for everyone to be convinced. At this thought, the group of people in the room looked at Selena with cold eyes.
Selena raised her eyelids and looked coldly at Diana. "My teachers are not someone you are qualified to meet." A hint of gloom appeared in Diana's eyes as she smirked. "So you're admitting you can't produce any certification yourself?" Selena sneered with disdain in her voice. "I don't need that kind of thing!" Diana gave a cold laugh, her expression frosty as she turned to Henry. "Dean Fang, you heard what Selena just said. She's not qualified to interfere with our research department. You should let her find another job." As for Diana's blatant targeting of Selena, no one in the room thought it was wrong. After all, Diana had been designated as the next head of the Shaw family's research department, so she naturally didn't want Selena to take her position.
Henry said in a deep voice, "Miss Turner, the engineering department is currently short-staffed, and I'm sure Ms.

Flynn will be very happy to have you there. | believe that you will be able to utilize your physics talent there. If there are no issues, you can report to the engineering department right now." Selena gave a cold sneer. The Academy of Engineering would indeed welcome her, because the engineering department is already a part of the research institute, and the only remaining faction supporting the Turner family is there.
If Selena goes to the engineering department, not only will she be unable to help the Turner family regain their power, but she will also have to use her talents to benefit the entire research institute.
Her scheme is truly ingenious! Selena's eyes were icy and chilling as she said, "If | can prove that | am better than Diana, can | step on the entire science department and take the position of the science department head?" As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent once again. After being slapped in the face many times before, no one dared to respond to this. Although everyone at the scene believed that Selena was unlikely to be better than Diana, the scene where she demonstrated her knowledge of mecha three days ago was still fresh in their minds. The confident and arrogant demeanor of Selena, which they had witnessed firsthand, was still vivid in their memories.
Diana's smile gradually disappeared, and she said angrily, "Selena, the matter has been settled. Don't try to stir up trouble!" "Am | causing trouble?" Selena gave her a cold look, a sly smile on her lips. "Isn't it you who has been evading the issue all along? As the next science department head designated by the Shaw family and the research institute, if you really have the ability, why don't you come forward and use your strength to crush me openly and aboveboard?" Diana's face suddenly changed.
Selena lightly tapped her slender fingers on the desk and sneered, "You have been nervous all along when facing me. You even avoid mentioning the issue of whether | have the ability or not. So... what are you afraid of?" Diana was touched on the most secretive point in her heart, and she stared at Selena with a murderous gaze.
"Selena, I'm not afraid of you. It's just that | don't think you're qualified enough!" Selena laughed, her eyes full of mockery. "You said you're not afraid of me, but after the incident three days ago, no one in the entire research institute, including those excellent old mechanics, dared to say such things in front of me. Only you..."
