Chapter 1597: Suspicion!
Mr. McCoy was stunned by Selena's question. As Selena had pointed out, there were many people in
the world who looked alike. Would he address anyone else who resembled the Queen in such a
manner?
Subconsciously, Mr. McCoy felt that he wouldn't. While appearances could be similar, the aura and
feeling emanated by someone so alike were absolutely unique. Most importantly, their Queen had a
dignified beauty, a singular and noble presence. Seeking her shadow in other women would be a
blasphemy against her.
However, facing the girl in front of him, he didn't feel that way at all. Instead, there was an inexplicable
sense of comfort and excitement.
Why?
Mr. McCoy couldn't figure it out, so he chose not to answer Selena's question.
Meanwhile, the other people in the room had been shocked by the conversation between these two.
Almost everyone's gaze was fixated on Selena's face.
This face... resembled the Queen of Central City...
Amid the attentive stares, Selena's eyes swept past Robert's cold expression, and she smiled, "It
seems that I might indeed have some unknown connection with that Queen."
After saying this, she didn't care about the potential repercussions of her words among the people from
Central City. She calmly took Osvaldo's arm and walked to her designated seat.
Osvaldo naturally sat beside Selena, his icy and sharp gaze scanning Robert, emanating a strong
sense of hostility.
The meeting room fell silent for a while.
After a long pause, as if to alleviate the awkward and unspoken tension, Mr. McCoy took the initiative to
bring up today's main topic. "Your country must already know that someone stole the 'Sacred Pearl'
from our Empire, causing it to inadvertently end up in H Country. Our main purpose for coming here is
to retrieve the 'Sacred Pearl.'"
Upon mentioning the "Sacred Pearl," everyone instantly snapped out of the awkward atmosphere,
shifting their focus from Selena to Lindsay.
Lindsay sat beside Robert, holding her chin in her hands, her dark eyes fixed on Selena. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
This was the owner of the "Sacred Pearl," and there was no reason for H Country to refuse its return.
Diana, upon hearing this, recalled the task Lindsay had entrusted to her. She nervously pinched her
palms, realizing that she was at a dead end. Killing Selena was her only chance!
Just as everyone thought that the "Sacred Pearl" would return to Lindsay without any surprises, Selena
suddenly spoke up, "The 'Sacred Pearl' belongs to Central City, and that is well-known. Returning it to
you is the right thing to do, but-"
With this pause, the hearts of everyone present were instantly lifted.
People from the H Country Research Institute knew the style of their director. Whenever she used a
transitional phrase, it meant someone was going to be in trouble. Meanwhile, the people from Central
City were filled with awe for that face.
Selena's eyes were resolute as she stared at Lindsay, "Before that, I believe Miss Hall owes me and
my fiancé an explanation!"
"The reason the 'Sacred Pearl' ended up in H Country is that someone used it to try to kill my fiancé!"
"Miss Hall, as a member of Lab 717, and considering the immense value of the 'Sacred Pearl,' who
would have the capability to steal it?"
"I have strong reasons to suspect that there is no such thing as a 'theft.' The one who wanted to kill my
fiancé is from Central City!"
