Chapter 910 What Did You Just Say? Christ smiled coldly, his eyes scanning over the messenger. "Do you have a problem?" The messenger's back chilled, realizing he had overstepped his bounds. He lowered his head and said, "I'll go take care of it right away!" With that, he went to make a phone call. After the room cleared, Christ stood up from the couch and walked towards the door. But before he could even leave, he ran into Winnie, who was coming towards him.
Despite Winnie's attempts to hide it, her eyes betrayed a hint of unease. "Brother, Grandpa wants to see you immediately!" Christ dangerously narrowed his eyes. His people wouldn't dare to speak behind his back to Dexter, so it couldn't have been about today's events. It had to be something else.
Christ smiled mischievously, took a cigarette from his pocket, and turned around to casually make his way to see Dexter.
In the office, Selena had caught the group of researchers red-handed and was now holding them accountable.
This was their first confrontation, and they were all fuming with anger.

However, the main culprit was sitting there calmly, tapping on his phone with ease, ignoring the intense glares of the group.
They had heard rumors about the Turner family's daughter being a troublemaker, but she was just a young girl under 20. These ministers and scholars, who were used to big scenes, didn't think much of her before meeting her.
Now that they were face to face with her, they realized just how formidable she could be. Selena didn't say anything, but for some reason, nobody dared to stand up to her in front of so many people.
In the end, Cohen spoke up. "Selena, you've seen the voting results. Your proposal has been rejected, and this matter will be dealt with internally by our research department." Feeling that the decision was final, Cohen let out a breath of relief and looked at Selena with an uncomfortable smile. "But please rest assured, Lady Selena. This matter concerns the interests of the sixth district. When it comes to Lydia and Dennis, our research department will speak only the truth and will not be biased towards anyone." After sending the last message to Osvaldo, Selena put away her phone after confirming their plans to go back to the Anderson family in the evening. Then, Selena raised her snow-white chin and looked at Cohen, "What did you just say?" Her casual and indifferent tone of questioning made it seem like she had been distracted and hadn't heard what Cohen said.
When Cohen met her dark and cold eyes, he felt a chill in his heart. After snapping out of it, he thought Selena was deliberately humiliating him, and he was both surprised and angry. He sternly reprimanded, "Selena, this is an internal matter of the research department. Do you really have to stir up trouble and disturb the whole research institute?" "Furthermore," Cohen looked at Selena, with a clear hint of contempt on his face. "Lady Selena, you are just a so- called 'Vice Dean." In terms of qualifications, everyone here is more experienced than you, and in terms of strength, you are nothing but a joke!" "Besides being called 'Vice Dean,’ you have no right to interfere with anything in the research institute. You should be aware of this!" The last two sentences clearly expressed the thoughts of most people present. Although they were all old enough to be Selena's grandparents, they were still pushed around and scolded by this younger generation.
They were extremely unhappy and immediately sided with Cohen.
"Just follow Cohen's opinion and deal with the internal affairs of the research department. It shouldn't waste anyone else's time and energy!" "Lady Selena, please stop your unreasonable behavior. We have already wasted enough time for you. Now please settle down and don't cause any more trouble for the research institute, okay?" "Lady Selena, Dean Matthews has already recognized your position as 'Vice Dean," and we will not disrespect you anymore. You have already gotten what you wanted. Please don't cause any more trouble for us in the research institute." After hearing so many impatient admonishments and warnings, Selena's expression remained unchanged. It seemed as if she was not the one being criticized and educated by these highly respected researchers.
Instead, Lydia, who was standing beside her, listened with a red face and an expression that looked like she was about to cry. She grew up under the national flag, and was always respectful to her elders. She had argued with Cohen earlier because she was too angry.
Now seeing Selena being publicly criticized by so many people for her sake, she felt both guilty and angry, and couldn't help but whisper, "Miss, dealing with the internal affairs of the research department is also possible..." Before, she was bullied because the only people who knew about the incident were her and the group of people including Dennis and Alina.
That group had always followed Diana's lead, and Diana had always wanted to crush her, so nobody was going to give her a fair judgment.
Now that the matter has escalated and with so many eyes from the research department watching, she didn't believe that her work could just magically become Dennis’.

Selena turned her head and looked at the innocent girl but didn't say anything.
Lydia met Selena's gaze and hesitated, wondering if she had said something wrong.
Leia looked at Lydia and shook her head.
Although she didn't have many tricks up her sleeve, having followed Selena for so long, she could at least tell that something was off.
Not to mention that for the Turner family, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if they gave up, it would be difficult to come across such an opportunity again in the future.
Just by Lydia's concession today, her life could be ruined! At the same time, Leia also understood why, even after Lydia had been in the research institute for so many years, the Turner family hadn't made much progress in the institute.
All of this girl's intelligence was used in her designs, and when it came to being ruthless, the Turner family's lady was still the most formidable! The young girl realized that she had used a derogatory term to describe Selena and bit her lip. Their lady was truly wise! Cohen saw that the matter had been settled and felt relieved. He mocked Selena with a glance and turned to look at Dean Matthews. "Dean Matthews, let us handle this matter within the research department. | promise that it will be fair and just, and there will be no injustice!" Henry Matthews looked at Selena. The Poole family was standing behind him, and before Selena arrived, someone from the Poole family had talked to him and told him not to bother Selena. Therefore, although they could avoid making things difficult for Selena, they absolutely would not allow her to touch the core interests of the research institute!
