Chapter 1555 Why do they look so alike?!
A girl dressed in lotus blue walked in. In an instant, her face and her dignified and ruthless aura
awakened a fear ingrained in Beatrice's bones.
She stared fixedly at the familiar face, her mind momentarily blank. All her pride and expectations were
instantly shattered, replaced by the echoing question in her mind: How is this possible?!
Beatrice used all her self-control to keep herself from standing up and kneeling before her.
Unable to look at her again, Beatrice trembled as she picked up the glass on the table and gulped
down a mouthful of water to conceal her embarrassment.
Meanwhile, everyone else in the room stood up as soon as they saw Selena. "Director, you're here!"
"Miss, you're here!"
The researchers from the Central City Research Institute looked on in confusion at the scene,
wondering why everyone was standing up to greet this young and seemingly inexperienced director.
Their faces turned blank as they saw the imposing entourage behind Selena.
Selena's icy gaze swept over the crowd, and she curled her lip coldly. "Sit down, all of you."
Like obedient soldiers, everyone immediately sat down, straightening up in a way they had never done
before.
Selena's gaze slid past Beatrice and landed on the researchers from the Central City. "You've come a
long way. Thank you for your hard work."
Beatrice broke out in a cold sweat as Selena's gaze passed over her. She almost lost control of her
knees and knelt down in fear.
The researchers from the Central City, who had been confused until Selena's gaze landed on them,
suddenly understood why their colleagues were acting so seriously.
They stood up before they even had time to think and assumed an unusually friendly posture. "Director.
It's not a big deal at all..."
"Communication between research institutes is beneficial to mutual progress. There's no need to be
formal," Selena replied.
Upon seeing this situation, some of the researchers from the H Country Research Institute felt a sense
of Schadenfreude, while others were pleased with the outcome.
Before Selena's arrival, although this group of researchers had behaved politely, their superiority
complex from the Federal Center City made them unable to conceal their arrogance.
However, as soon as their director appeared, without doing anything, this group of people instantly
became obedient.
Selena said with a smile, "Please have a seat."
The group of people wiped the sweat from their foreheads and immediately sat down.
After they realized what they had done, the researchers from the Center City suddenly froze.
Why were they so afraid of a nineteen-year-old girl?
The meeting room was very quiet.
Selena's slender fingers tapped on the materials in front of her, and her voice sounded quite casual.
"You all know about the attack on Lydia last night, right?"
After a moment of silence, both the H Country Research Institute and the Center City Research
Institute representatives nodded.
"Director, we heard about it this morning. Is Miss Turner okay?" The representative from the Center
City asked.
"In broad daylight, someone dared to lay hands on a first-class national mechanic. This person is
audacious and malicious, and we cannot tolerate such behavior!" the representative continued.
Selena smiled slightly. "This gentleman makes a good point. Such despicable behavior cannot be
tolerated!"
"I have found out a few things and need a few of you to confront them on the spot and then give me an
explanation."
"Bring them in!"
Selena finished these three sentences in one breath. Before the group of researchers from the Center
City could figure out what she meant, they saw two men in uniforms being brought in from the door.
The two men were full of fear, and as soon as they entered, they couldn't wait to speak.
"We really didn't know her identity. Someone gave us money to kidnap her and then kill her in a brutal
way. Please spare us..."
"We won't dare to do it again, we don't want to go to jail, please let us go..."
Upon hearing the words of the two men, the group of people instantly realized that they were the
culprits who had attacked and kidnapped Lydia.
According to what they said, someone instructed them to do it?!
And they had to use the cruelest means to kill the other party?
Everyone present was a researcher, and they couldn't control their anger when they heard the news all
of a sudden!
"Who is so wicked that they would hire killers to murder our H Country mechanic in broad daylight?!"
"Apart from the director, Lydia is the most talented young mechanic in the H Country research institute.
This time the target is Lydia, so who's next, could it be the director?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became more solemn. The group of
researchers from the central city originally thought that this was H Country's domestic affair and had
nothing to do with them.
But after hearing the other party's last sentence, some of them with agile minds instantly sank to the
bottom of their hearts.
Beatrice had been hanging her head since Selena appeared in the conference room, not making a
sound.
When she heard this sentence, her spine also chilled.
She comforted herself that it was just a similar face, and the real person was already dead, which was
a well-known fact!
Even if they looked alike and had a similar aura, she couldn't be the one!
So there was nothing to be afraid of!
Beatrice almost forced herself to lift her head and look directly at Selena on the main seat, suppressing
her inner fear, and looking at that noble and beautiful face with a clenched smile. "What do you mean,
Director Turner? Are you suspecting that someone from our central city research institute is involved in Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
this matter?"
As if to bolster her confidence, Beatrice angrily said, "Director Turner should understand the gap
between the H Country research institute and our central city research institute. We have plenty of
mechanics like Lydia!"
"She doesn't have the qualifications to make our central city resort to such dirty tricks for her sake!"
Selena finally looked at Beatrice when she heard this, even though Beatrice was prepared, when she
met those familiar eyes, she felt as though she was being looked down upon by someone sitting high
on a throne, and her whole body was still covered in chills.
Her nerves were screaming.
Damn it!
Why do they look so similar?!
When she was watching the video, Beatrice didn't feel that this woman was scary at all because she
knew clearly that she wasn't the real person!
She never thought that this woman would not only look like the real person, but also have such a
similar temperament.
How could there be two people in this world who look so alike?
Selena seemed not to have noticed the fear on Beatrice's face and smiled, "Ask yourself, Miss White..."
