Chapter 1609: Lab 717, someone is coming!
"Miss Turner, I'm not exaggerating!"
"Whether it's the city center or Lab 717, their retaliation is something you can't handle!"
Selena chuckled. "I haven't tried yet. How do you know I can't handle it?"
Mr. McCoy closed his eyes and finally got angry. "Let's not talk about the city center for now, just
Sacred Pearl alone belongs to Lab 717!"
"And Sacred Pearl is just one of many things in Lab 717. Its strength is unmatched even by the
research institute in the city center."
"Bruno and others' love and value for Miss Lindsay are well known."
"If the owner of Sacred Pearl dies in H-country research institute, no one can predict what Lab 717 will
do!"
"At that time, not only you but everyone present will have to bear its wrath!"
Mr. McCoy looked at Selena's indifferent face and turned to look at a group of big shots from District
Six on the screen.
"Have you really thought this through? Do you want to openly challenge both City Center and Lab 717
for Miss Turner?"
Many big shots from District Six didn't look too good.
Lindsay and Robert's actions were obvious to all, so they were naturally angry.
But they couldn't ignore the bigger picture.
Even if Mr. McCoy's words weren't pleasant to hear, they were still true.
The H-country research institute doesn't have enough power to fight against those two major forces.
Once Lindsay and Robert really died here, Central City and Lab 717 would both strike at the same
time, and H Country couldn't afford it.
The higher-ups always put the overall situation first.
So even though they knew it was unfair to Selena, even though they were suffocating with grievances,
they had to grit their teeth and persuade her.
Sidney took a deep breath. "Oscar, let the Turner family think about this."
Oscar lowered his eyes and tapped his long fingers on the table without saying a word.
Obviously, everything was left for Selena to decide on her own.
Selena's lips curled slightly. "Mr. McCoy, are you threatening me?"
"It's not just a threat," Mr. McCoy sighed regretfully as he looked at her face. "It's just how things are."
"Although you look like our queen in Central City and have the same name as her... you have a
different fate!"
"If you were really our queen in Central City, whether it was Mr. Hall's family or Lab 717 behind Miss
Lindsay dared to assassinate the queen... they would be destroyed by one word from the empire!"
"But unfortunately, you're not her so all you can do is swallow your anger!"
Selena's dark eyes flickered as she seemed to think of something before suddenly lowering her lashes. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Osvaldo noticed that Selena was feeling uneasy so he held onto her hand and whispered softly: "Are
you upset?"
His little wife should have been the most respected woman in this world but because of those evil
spirits out there she had been wandering around outside suffering countless grievances.
Selena looked up and smiled at him, speaking in a soft voice. "I was just thinking about how I used to
live so recklessly and arrogantly."
Osvaldo held her close and said gently, "Once you're back in that position, everything will be okay."
Hearing about Selena's past life only made Osvaldo feel more sorry for her current situation. He vowed
to lift her up and protect her from any harm.
As the couple whispered to each other, others assumed they were discussing compensation matters.
Both sides breathed a sigh of relief in the meeting room. As long as Selena was willing to compromise,
there was still room for negotiation.
After hearing Osvaldo's comforting words, Selena's mood lifted again.
Robert saw this scene unfold and let out a small sigh of relief. With Selena's current status, she
couldn't openly kill him without consequences. But if he survived today's meeting, he could find a way
out eventually.
Once they left the conference room, it wouldn't be easy for Selena to catch him again.
This was the best outcome after their failed assassination attempt - Lillian would no longer have to
suffer under Selena's threats!
Robert looked at Selena, with a slight sense of relief in his eyes.
He was relieved that Selena was currently alone and didn't have the qualifications to challenge Lillian
head-on.
As for the grievances she faced, given her current status, she could only swallow her pride and endure
it silently.
Compared to Robert's relaxed demeanor, Lindsay kept her head down and had an expressionless
face. It was hard to tell what she was thinking.
Selena turned her head and stared at Robert and Lindsay across from her. She was about to speak
when suddenly the door of the conference room burst open from outside.
"Dean! Outside... outside..."
A young researcher wearing a white coat rushed in, pointing outside with red eyes. His expression
couldn't be described as either fear or excitement as he struggled to get his words out.
Selena's lips curled into a mocking smile as she glanced at Robert before slowly turning towards the
young researcher. "What happened outside?"
Upon meeting Selena's gaze, Robert felt his heart sink suddenly realizing that Selena might have some
last resort up her sleeve!
The young researcher took a deep breath upon seeing Selena's calm face before finally managing to
speak clearly. "Lab 717! A lot of big shots from Lab 717 are outside!"
Suddenly there was chaos in the conference room!
Some researchers who lacked composure fell off their chairs on hearing this news.
"Lab 717... they're here?!"
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? Are they really people from Lab 717?"
The researcher nodded quickly, "It can't be wrong! I saw it with my own eyes, Principal Bruno!" Robert's
heart sank to the bottom of his chest. He stared at Selena tightly, "So that's how it is!"
The H Country researchers couldn't afford retaliation from both Central City and Lab 717. But what if
Lab 717 openly sided with the H Country Research Institute?
In a situation where Central City was in the wrong and wanted to resolve this peacefully, it was almost
impossible! In the end, as Selena said, she would have Lillian come personally to redeem him! Lindsay
had been calm all along but after hearing this sentence her face visibly paled.
Compared to these two insiders who knew what was going on, everyone else panicked completely
after hearing this sudden news. "Is Lab 717 here to settle accounts with us?"
"We just caught the owner of 'Sacred Pearl', and then Lab 717 sent people over..."
The people from Central City Research Institute breathed a sigh of relief. If Lab 717 came over they
wouldn't tolerate anything happening to Lindsay; now that Selena has made concessions it became an
absolute certainty.
Diana's face which had been ashen suddenly seemed like she grabbed onto her last straw...
