Chapter 845 The Check Winnie choked up.
Selena's meaning was clear and easy to understand. She was just quite unhappy.
Winnie questioned, "We are all students of Capital University. How can you lend the lab to Hamish and the bunch of useless people in Class Seven, but not to us?" Selena stared at her.
Winnie felt inexplicably weak under her gaze, but she still stared back with a proud look on her face.
Selena smiled and said, "Do | know you well?" Winnie's face changed.
Naturally, she and Selena were not familiar with each other.
"Since you know we are not familiar, why should | lend my territory to you?" Selena coldly asked, "On the day | entered the school, the classmates in Class Seven welcomed me, invited me to dinner, and Hamish was polite to me. He personally took me to the lab. They have all helped me, so | agreed to lend the lab to them. And why do you dare to make such a request?" The faces of everyone present changed.
On careful thought, they couldn't come up with any rebuttal.
The place belonged to Selena, and she lent it to the students who were friendly to her, making it impossible to find any fault.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnd to be honest, their attitude towards Selena was not... friendly.
It was only natural that Selena would reject them.
Winnie's face turned pale.
Penelope's palms tightened slightly. She glanced at Cameron, whose face was pale, and suddenly took a step forward. "Lady Selena, didn't Cameron help you too? On the day you arrived at school, he showed you the way..." Cameron seemed uncomfortable and coughed lightly. "Penelope..." Penelope didn't look at him, just looked at Selena directly, and said firmly, "I know you hate me, and | was wrong before, but please don't blame Cameron because of me. He really likes medicine. He and Hamish have been studying the things left behind by Dean Turner for many years. | don't want him to fail at the last moment." "Lady Selena, | am willing to withdraw from the experimental group and give you my spot. Please forget the unpleasantness before and forgive us." "You must also want to carry on what your father left behind and make it flourish, right? Then, Cameron and Hamish are your best assistants!" With these words, everyone present looked at Penelope in confusion.
Previously, Penelope had refused to give up her position and even had a falling out with Selena. How did she suddenly become so easy to talk to? The onlookers looked at Penelope and then at Cameron, whose recent face had not been looking good, and seemed to understand something, sighing deeply.
On the one hand, they admired Penelope's feelings for Cameron, and on the other hand, they felt that Selena was making a mountain out of a molehill.
To be fair, it was not entirely Penelope's fault in her conflict with Selena, considering she was just a child at the time. Selena should blame the Riddle family more.
These were just minor conflicts within Capital University and not worth such a fuss about collective interests.
Selena raised an eyebrow, her expression turning somewhat enigmatic.
Penelope had wanted to tear her apart the last time they met, and now she suddenly became so considerate, as if being guided by someone.
Sure enough, after Penelope finished her speech, Principal Chow immediately turned his hopeful gaze towards Selena.
Cameron and Hamish were the two most outstanding students in the Medical Department of Capital University, and Principal Chow had originally intended for them to form a team with Selena. However, Cameron was powerless before Penelope's unwillingness to cooperate.
But now that Penelope had voluntarily stepped down, if Selena still refused, it would make her look ungrateful.
Selena supported her chin with her uninjured left hand and sighed slowly, "Miss Penelope, may | ask why you think that my feud with Mr. Soo is because of you?" Penelope was taken aback.
Cameron's face changed slightly. The audience was also stunned.
Then, suddenly, they seemed to realize something, looking at Cameron, then at Selena, with a strange expression on their faces.
Selena smiled coldly, "Wasn't the stab in the back that the Turner family received from the Soo family painful enough? Please forgive me for not having the courage to work with the son of my enemy. The cut on my hand last night hurt, and I'm afraid | might die if | get another one..." This statement was not to be taken lightly.
Selena had openly mentioned the grudge between the Soo and Turner families.
Cameron's originally pale face became even whiter, and he lowered his head, not looking at anyone.
Penelope's face was white as a sheet, and she opened her mouth as if to say something, but Selena's words effectively silenced her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn this situation where right and wrong were clear, no one dared to speak lightly and touch upon such a blood debt.
Although the saying goes that the sins of the fathers should not be visited upon the children, the fact that so many members of the Turner family had died was not something that could be easily explained away.
What the Soo family had done in the past was also truly unethical.
As a victim, it would be inhumane to force Selena to work with Cameron now.
The teachers who had been preparing to speak up earlier changed their minds.
Principal Chow was solely focused on academic research and did not have such complex thoughts. He valued Cameron simply because of his talent and love for medicine, and had never thought of it from Selena's perspective.
It was only when Selena spoke up that he realized how absurd his decision was for her. "Okay, if you're unwilling, then forget it," Principal Chow hastily said, "Choose your own team members, | believe you can find the most suitable ones." Selena smiled faintly, "Thank you, Mr. Chow." She stood up from her seat and said, "I'm done talking. Mr. Chow, I'm going back now." Principal Chow waved his hand, "Go ahead, rest well when you get back." Selena turned and walked out with Leia.
Just as she was about to leave the classroom building, someone chased after her from inside. "Lady Selena, please wait," Cameron said, panting. He had clearly run down to catch up with her, and his face was slightly red.
He looked into Selena's eyes for a moment before saying, "Thank you for saving my little brother." Selena's eyes flickered with something, and she extended her hand.
Leia was momentarily stunned, but then remembered what Selena had asked her to bring before she left this morning. She opened her bag and took out the item, handing it to Selena.
Selena handed it to Cameron.
Cameron was stunned when he saw the check. He pursed his lips and asked, "Lady Selena, what does this mean?" "Just fill in a number for how much your little brother is worth, and then we'll consider this matter closed," she said. She didn't like to play emotional games, especially when it came to these unclear debts of gratitude. It was better to just settle it cleanly.
