Chapter 1139 HVisit Constance's heart trembled slightly as she looked up and asked, "What did you do?" Neve sneered, "You are our most precious asset in 717. How can you be bullied by those outsiders? | called the vice dean and told them about the incident... The deans are very protective of you. They won't let Selena off lightly!" Constance clenched her palms and pursed her lips. "Why did you tell the teachers?!" Wasn't she implying that she couldn't stand up to Selena on her own and needed someone to back her up? Neve was taken aback by her sharp tone and quickly explained, "Constance, | didn't mean to. | just couldn't stand Selena's bullying. And you've been so accommodating to her, but she keeps trampling on you and 717's reputation. Why should we let her off the hook?" "And don't worry, | only stated the facts. | didn't say anything | shouldn't have said." Constance closed her eyes. The facts relayed by Neve were certainly not in Selena's favor.
As a woman who was born with a very strong aura, Constance had her own pride. She usually wouldn't resort to 717's power to get things done. But Selena...
Constance recalled the scene she had witnessed this afternoon, where Lady Lauren had ordered her servants to prepare gifts to propose to the Turner family. The jealousy and malice in her heart towards Selena couldn't be contained.
This was all Selena's fault! Selena shouldn't have taken away the man she had her eyes on while she was away in her hcountry! Constance leaned back on the car seat and said coldly, "There won't be a next time!" Neve immediately laughed, but her tone was serious. "l understand, Constance. | promise not to do this kind of thing again." The people in Lab 717 were very protective of Constance. Once they knew she was being bullied outside, they would not let Selena off lightly! Thinking about the scene where Selena would soon be in trouble, Neve's mood improved and she drove Constance back to the Baxter family.
As the entire capital talked about the Turner family banquet three days later, Selena, as one of the parties involved, quickly regained her composure after the initial shock.
Of course, that's not entirely true.

The most obvious sign was when Osvaldo cto share the bed because he was worried that Selena would have nightmares due to the rain tonight, but found that the door was locked from the inside.
Her legitimate husband was locked out of the door by his wife.
Osvaldo stared at the closed door, lowered his eyes, dispelled the darkness in his heart, and showed a gentle and sinister smile on his face. However, he didn't forcefully break in but turned back to his room.
In the room, Selena held a pillow and listened for a while. After confirming that the man outside had left, she breathed a sigh of relief. Selena lay in bed, looking at the warm crystal chandelier above her head.
The news of the Anderson family's proposal and gifts to the Turner family caught Selena off guard, and she didn't know how to face Osvaldo. She had not been completely honest with Osvaldo, and he knew nothing about the real her. Selena was confused and couldn't be sure. Once the Turner family accepted the Anderson family's proposal, she would be bound to that man for the rest of her life. Selena covered her face with the pillow, feeling that she had never encountered such a big problem before. After thinking for a while, she fell asleep in a daze.
Half an hour later, the closed door was suddenly opened from the outside, probably because the person inside had fallen asleep. A black-haired man in black clothes silently walked to the bedside, gently moved the pillow that she was hugging, and leaned over to look at the sleeping girl. The man's gentle and deep gaze fell on her beautiful face, with a hint of darkness and excitement. "You little rascal..." The sleeping person seemed to feel something missing from her embrace and subconsciously reached out to find it. The man had already anticipated this and reached out his arm to embrace the slender body.
Selena whimpered as her delicate body fell into the man's arms. Osvaldo dragged the beautiful little body, lowered his head, and placed a gentle kiss on her exquisite eyebrows. "Good night." The sleeping girl received a reassuring goodnight kiss and fell into a deeper sleep.
Although it was pouring outside, Selena slept extremely well that night.
When she woke up the next morning, she could hardly believe that she hadn't had a nightmare on such a rainy night.
Moreover, she had the impression that there was another person's trace on her bed last night. But...
she had locked the door, so Osvaldo shouldn't have been able to cin.
Selena remembered the man she had left outside the door last night, and felt a little guilty. She put on her slippers and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
At the stime, an unexpected guest arrived at the villa's front door.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing Constance standing outside early in the morning, the people in the small villa were stunned.
Osvaldo's people who were arranged by Selena were all elderly members of the Anderson family and naturally knew Constance.
If this were the usual case, not to mention Constance's outstanding excellence, just the fact that she was the granddaughter of the late Mr. Baxter would have made them very enthusiastic.
However, the incident at the research institute yesterday had already spread throughout the capital.
Everyone knew about Constance's competition with Selena for the position of head of the research department. Constance's assistant even threw the trophy at Selena in public, making everyone in the small villa who had cherished Selena for so long feel very unhappy.
Therefore, when they saw Constance coming to find Osvaldo early in the morning despite knowing that Selena was here, from the butler to the security guard, no one felt happy.
They all subconsciously looked for her assistant, wanting to teach the person who dared to throw the trophy at their lady a good lesson! But Constance probably knew that Osvaldo would not be pleased with her behavior yesterday, so she did not bring Neve with her.
She looked at the old butler and smiled slightly, "Noah, long tno see." As she spoke, she handed over the prepared gift. The old butler looked at the girl with a complicated expression and said, "Miss Baxter, please wait here, | will inform Madam Selena." With that, he turned and walked towards the door.
Constance's expression froze slightly.
