Chapter 1326 Choice Just when they had not completely felt relieved, a sudden news shook the entire capital.
The current head of the research institute, the patriarch of the Baxter family, announced his retirement. Three days later, all the top executives of the research institute would attend a meeting to elect the new head of the research institute! This news instantly exploded the capital, which had just calmed down for a few days.
No one could have imagined that Diego would announce his retirement at this juncture. After the Baxter family had just experienced such a major catastrophe, shouldn't Diego be holding onto the power of the research institute tightly, so as not to let the Baxter family completely fall apart? He actually gave up the position of the dean so easily...
The most important question was, who would become the new dean of the research institute?! When Freddie received this news, his face suddenly became gloomy.
Before Diego returned to the country, Freddie didn't have to worry about the Baxter family teaming up with the Turner family. But no one expected that the Baxter family would pull off such a true or false daughter .
Selena saved Diego's only granddaughter, and Diego could not possibly not repay her. And this repayment might be the control of the research institute.
Freddie stood up, got in the car, and drove to the research institute, arriving at an underground basement.
After passing through several electronic doors, Freddie saw Diana standing in front of an experimental table, her face full of anxiety.
Diana had not yet had a chance to speak when the man grabbed her neck tightly and threw her onto the experimental table.
"Listen to me," Freddie's tone was dark and menacing. "I'll give you ten days. If you can't find a way to open the ‘Sacred Pearl’ in ten days, I'll chop you up!" Diana was choked so hard that her eyes rolled back, and she looked at the man with a bloody murderous intent in his eyes, feeling a huge sense of terror rising in her heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe struggled and said laboriously, "I... | know..." Freddie finally let go of her, throwing her to the ground and looking down at her. "Selena might soon become the new head of the research institute. Before that, if you can't kill her, I'll kill you first!" Diana fell to the ground, coughing violently, and her face twisted even more at his words.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Shaw, rest assured, | will definitely kill that bitch Selena!” Freddie snorted coldly and turned and walked out.
After he left, Diana crawled up from the ground and walked to the table, looking at the "Sacred Pearl" on it. Suddenly, she raised her hand and smashed the "Sacred Pearl" heavily onto the ground. Her face, which had been trying to maintain a calm expression, was completely shattered at this moment, filled with anxiety and fear.
Diana stared at the "Sacred Pearl" lying on the ground, still intact even though it had been thrown countless times. She muttered nervously to herself, "Why won't it open... why..." She tried every method she knew, even resorting to burning and dissolving it in sulfuric acid, but the porcelain doll remained unchanged.
If Diana hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have thought that Selena had only lightly touched the porcelain doll and that it was a fake. But Diana knew that this was the "Sacred Pearl"! She just couldn't open it! Diana rushed over, picked up the "Sacred Pearl" from the ground, and held it in her palm, screaming nervously, "Open! Why won't you open?!" "Selena can open you, why can't |, Diana?!" "Open! Open, damn it!" At the end of her scream, she went crazy and threw the "Sacred Pearl" around, and finally, she grabbed her own hair and squatted on the ground, crying. She couldn't open it...
And the consequences of her not being able to open the "Sacred Pearl" would surely result in Freddie dismembering her! Diana grabbed her hair, her face full of resentment. "Selena, it's all your fault, you bitch..." Freddie had just walked out of the door of the research institute, and a black sports car stopped in front of him.
The rear door was opened, and a black-clothed bodyguard with an expressionless face got out of the car. "Mr. Shaw, my master has something to say to you. | don't know if you have the time to visit?" Through the half-opened car window, Freddie saw the person sitting inside.
It was Cassius.
When his eyes met Freddie's, Cassius raised the glass in his hand and gave him a slight smile.
Freddie looked at the man, his eyes flashing with a hint of complexity. He knew better than anyone that once he got into that car, he would never be able to turn back.
Until today, the competition between the Shaw family and the Turner family had always been under Osvaldo's watchful eye.
Because of that man's suppression, both he and Selena had been competing openly and honestly based on their strengths.
He had never really taken any action against Selena, and Selena had not wiped out the Shaw family.
But once he teams up with Cassius, this balance will be broken.
Selena will no longer show mercy to the Shaw family's men.
Osvaldo will not hesitate to put aside brotherly feelings.
At that time, either they die or the Shaw family perishes.
Freddie looked up and saw the darkening sky above him, thinking about the bond he had with Osvaldo since they were children.
He lit a cigarette with some irritation.
He didn't want to go against Osvaldo.
The Shaw family was not a match for that man! But...
The older generation had put in so much effort to bring the Shaw family to where they were today... The Shaw family absolutely cannot be ruined in his hands! Freddie extinguished the cigarette in his hand and looked at Cassius, smiling, "Of course.” Then he calmly got into the back seat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe car drove away from the research institute and disappeared into the night.
At the same time, in a villa, Osvaldo received a phone call.
The person on the other end said something.
In an instant, his expression turned dark.
He placed the phone on the table and walked out of the study.
Selena was sitting barefoot in the living room watching TV.
Breaking Ground had finally reached its finale.
Perhaps the fans had seen too many plot twists and turns, but at the end, everyone was calm and happy to see it come to a close.
They then saw the most satisfying ending.
Selena was about to pick up her phone to read reviews, but someone hugged her from behind.
There was only one person who could hold her like this.
Selena turned around and smiled at the man who appeared behind her without her noticing, "What's wrong?" Osvaldo sat down next to her, holding Selena in his arms. He looked at the screen, and after many years, Phoebe had finally returned to her hometown, and in that moment, she saw the figures of her old friends passing by in the shadows... a happy smile appeared on his face.
He withdrew his gaze and looked gently at the person in his arms, "Do you want to go home?"
