CHAPTER 989 WHAT A PITY.

Chapter 989 What a Pity.

Selena didn't have many friends in the research institute, and it would be a disadvantage for her to go

alone.

Selena was about to refuse, but when she saw the emptiness in Hattie's eyes, she suddenly changed

her mind. "Okay, I'll take Hattie with me."

It was just a training exercise. Even if Diana and others tried to sabotage it, Selena was confident that

she could protect Hattie. Moreover, it was time for this child who was trapped in darkness to see the

most selfless and powerful force and emotion in the world.

Hattie smiled happily and immediately ran upstairs to change clothes.

The butlers and others looked at this scene helplessly.

Selena noticed the group's gaze and coughed awkwardly.

Osvaldo looked at her expression and smirked, reaching out to touch her cheek. "Have fun."

Selena, "..."

In the end, under Selena's protest, the luggage was not taken onto the car.

Selena had nothing in her hands, while Hattie carried a backpack. Leia drove the two sisters to the

research institute.

When Selena arrived at the research institute, Patrick had just brought the Turner family to the door.

When Patrick saw Selena's appearance, he clearly hesitated, his gaze falling on Hattie, who was

following her. "Selena, what are you..."

Selena held Hattie's hand. "Hattie is with me."

Patrick frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but when he looked at Selena's eyes, he didn't say

anything and just said, "Come in."

After Selena and Hattie went in, Patrick whispered to his assistant behind him, "Call Fraser and tell him

to keep an eye on them!"

Although he knew that Selena was not someone who didn't know the severity of the situation, she must

have something to rely on to bring Hattie with her. But two powerless girls... were still too dangerous.

Especially with Freddie and Diana, and even people from the Second District, who obviously had bad

intentions.

The assistant nodded, and then remembered something and said, "By the way, young master, Miss

asked her assistant to convey a message to the Turner family yesterday, and she asked me to tell you

today."

Patrick was taken aback. "What message?"

The assistant leaned in and whispered something in Patrick's ear.

A glint flashed through Patrick's eyes as he looked at Selena's gradually disappearing figure. After a

moment, he followed her.

...

In the conference room.

Diana stood with her arms crossed, wearing a heroic and chic outfit, accompanied by several young

men and women behind her, all with unparalleled pride on their faces.

Freddie sat on the sofa with a cold tone, "Listen, this training match is about the face of the Shaw

family and the institute, both of which must be utilized properly!"

In other words, this competition held by the institute and Union University is a chance for Diana and

others to gain favor from the Shaw family. With this experience, the talents they cultivate can get closer

to the major districts.

Diana remembered that Selena would also participate in this training match, and a hint of hostility

flashed in her eyes. "Mr. Shaw, rest assured, we are not like those fools from Dennis' group! This

training match... is Selena's end point!"

As she spoke, a slow footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. The sound was very unique, it

was light but had a powerful feeling and a strange attraction. It was the sound of combat boots stepping

on the ground.

In the conference room, everyone's gaze subconsciously turned towards the door and saw Selena

standing at the entrance.

Perhaps hearing Diana's words, Selena turned her head, and her cold star-like eyes glanced lightly

over Diana's face. "Not a bad idea, but... " accompanied by a contemptuous laugh, her slender figure

had already gone far away. But the light and airy disdain and mockery were so thick that the entire

conference room fell into silence. Diana's face turned pale.

Freddie turned his head and stared at Diana's face with a sneer, "Stop being so arrogant! If you dare to

mess up this training match again, I'll kill you!"

Hearing Freddie's cold voice, Diana's spine shivered, and her hatred towards Selena grew stronger.

"Mr. Shaw, rest assured, between Selena and me, it's either she dies or I die!"

...

Selena led Hattie into the office. As soon as everyone in the room saw the young lady of the Turner

family, they were all stunned. Selena took off her hat and smiled at Henry, "Mr. Matthews, do you mind

if I bring my sister along?"

Everyone who was staring at Selena in a daze suddenly snapped back to reality upon hearing her

words. The first reaction of everyone was to object! After all, this kind of opportunity is very precious,

and how could they just let it go so easily? This content © 2024 .

Just as they were about to voice their opposition, they heard Henry ask in a low voice, "Miss Turner,

have you really thought this through, bringing along the Riddle family young lady? If something goes

wrong, the responsibility won't fall on the Institute or Union University?"

Selena nodded, "Of course!"

Henry nodded, "Then I have no objection."

The group was stunned to hear Henry so easily agree to Selena's request.

Someone asked resentfully, "Mr. Matthews, are you--"

Henry glanced at the person, "Miss Turner isn't competing for a spot."

It was only then that the group suddenly remembered that Selena was different from Diana and the

others.

Henry and the others had deliberately kept something from Selena.

This training exercise was actually a selection of talents from several districts. If Diana and the others

performed well, they would have a chance to directly enter the sixth district, while Selena, even if she

performed well, was a dispensable existence.

There would be no loss for the Institute and Diana and the others.

In addition, rejecting Hattie, the Riddle family young lady, might offend Leon. Henry naturally didn't

mind doing a small favor.

After the group understood this, they let go of their worries and looked at Selena with eyes that were

tinged with mockery.

This Miss Turner seemed quite clever, so why couldn't she see how bad this deal was?

This was practically handing over people to the Institute and the Shaw family on a silver platter!

But as beneficiaries, they were too busy mocking to show any sympathy or warning. Selena seemed

not to have noticed those glances. She lowered her head to help Hattie tidy her hair and gently asked,

"Are you ready, Hattie?"

Hattie nodded firmly, "Selena, I'm ready!"

Selena smiled slightly, her black eyes glinting with a hint of peculiar light. "Then let's go!"

She took Hattie's hand and walked towards the aircraft in front of the group in the office.

At the same time, Diana and the others also walked out from the other side.
