Chapter 1352 The Battle for the Dean Position!
In Vivian's eyes, with Cassius, such a terrifying man personally taking action, there was no way Selena and the Turner family could
win! Freddie ignored her because it was too late to say anything when the voting had already begun.
Now, they could only do everything they could to stop the Turner family from taking the position! Winnie secretly glanced at the
ballot in Christ's hand. Even though Selena had rejected her publicly, Winnie dared not say that Christ's vote did not have Selena's
non it.
She looked at Christ's side profile as he stared at Selena, and remembered her aunt who had left the family for Callum years ago.
Did the Poole family owe the Turner family after all?
In the silence, the election for the Dean of the Institute finally began. Except for Selena and the Turner family, everyone in the
conference room was staring at the large screen. The eyes of the Shaw siblings were especially focused.
Henry and another senior member of the neutral faction stood on the platform with microphones, reading out names. The names
written on the paper were directly projected onto the big screen, with no possibility of any tampering.
Unexpectedly, and yet logically, the votes were all for the Poole and Shaw families at the beginning. The two recommended
candidates had similar vote counts, gradually increasing.
Vivian's palms were sweaty, and she couldn't even blink as she stared at the Shaw family's vote count. When she saw that the vote
count was about to exceed half and Selena's nhad not even appeared on the big screen, Vivian's heart, which had been
hanging high, finally relaxed.
She took a deep breath, tears welling up in her eyes from extrnervousness, and her voice hoarse as she said, "Brother, do you
see it?"
"Selena's nhasn't even appeared yet, and even if the rest of the people vote for her, she won't be able to succeed..."
Freddie listened to Vivian's words, but did not show any joy.
The votes of the Poole and Shaw families continued to rise. Finally, when the vote count exceeded two-thirds, a piece of paper with
the n"Selena" on it appeared on the big screen.
As soon as the people from the Poole and Shaw families saw Selena's name, they almost subconsciously tensed their nerves and
looked at her warily.
Are the Turner family finally taking action?

Under Vivian's watchful alertness, suddenly a voice was heard saying, "This is Diego's handwriting."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Then they immediately realized that there were no members of the Turner family among the top officials, but since Diego had
deliberately arranged for Selena to take his place, his vote would naturally go to Selena.
It was just one vote, compared to the supporters of the Shaw family and the Poole family, it was insignificant and would not affect
the overall situation.
Vivian breathed a sigh of relief and saw the vote count of the Shaw family begin to overtake that of the Poole family, looking
pleased as she glanced at Selena.
Selena calmly looked at the vote count on the big screen with an indifferent expression.
The voting continued.
Sure enough, after this vote, the Shaw family and the Poole family were once again in a deadlock.
Selena's nappeared briefly and did not appear again.
The Poole family finally began to realize that something was amiss.
Within the research institute, the Poole family had more power than the Shaw family and naturally had more senior officials.
But the Shaw family's vote count was almost catching up to that of the Poole family, and there was even a trend of surpassing
them.
The Poole family was shocked and after a moment of thought, they understood where the problem lay.
The Shaw family must have united with several other small clans.
Because of the strong rise of the Turner family, these clans had approached the Poole family for protection, but Christ had ignored
them.
Those people who failed to join the Poole family would naturally turn to the Shaw family for support.
They had been careless!
The people of the Poole Group looked at Christ's cold face, their faces turning rosy and their necks bulging with anger.
Who would have thought that the Poole family's good situation would be ruined by their own leader?
As the remaining number of votes decreased, the gap between the Poole family and the Shaw family beccloser and closer.
Vivian clenched her fists tightly, held her breath, and stared at the Shaw family's vote count.
Even Freddie, who had been worried about the Turner family making a move, could not control his nervousness.
Under the tense gaze of everyone, there were still three unturned votes left on the big screen.
And to everyone's surprise, the vote count between the Shaw family and the Poole family was tied!
Everyone's breathing becrapid, their eyes fixed on those three unknown votes.
The control of the research institute for the next few decades would be decided by these three votes!
Even Henry, who was reading out the vote count, was becoming unsteady.
He walked up to the table, picked up his water glass for a drink, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue, steadied his
emotions, and returned to continue flipping through the ballots.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on his hands.
Henry pressed the mouse button and cast a vote.
When the non the slip of paper appeared, a group of high-ranking officials from the research institute whose nerves were
already on the verge of collapse were stunned.
The non the slip of paper was none other than Selena.
Upon seeing Selena's nagain, the group of people finally remembered that the Turner family was also in the running for the
position of dean of the research institute.
Due to Selena's low vote count and the fact that it was the last round of voting for the dean, they had almost forgotten about her
existence.
At this critical juncture, to have someone who had already been eliminated take away a vote was truly...

The senior executives of the two major groups could only feel a lump in their throats, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
If the remaining two votes, one from the Poole family and one from the Shaw family, were split equally between the two major
groups, wouldn't they have wasted their tall day?!
No one wanted to disrespect the Turner family in public, so they could only glare at the slip of paper with Selena's non it to
vent their anger.
Upon closer inspection, many people discovered that the person who wrote this nwas obviously a man.
The other party wrote it very seriously, with a touch of tenderness and cherish in every stroke. Everyone knew who wrote it at a
glance!
The people from the Poole family group stared at Christ with hatred.
Twenty years ago, the Poole family's most precious daughter never married for the rest of her life after betraying the family for
Callum.
Twenty years later, the head of the Poole family betrayed their own ancestors and handed over half of their power to Callum's
daughter with their own hands!
Wasn't it said that only the Anderson family was infected with the disease of being infatuated?
When did the Poole family also becinfected?!
But the group suddenly remembered the other men from the Poole family, who had a reputation for being promiscuous and
changing women like clothes, and dismissed this absurd idea.
It wasn't the Poole family that had fallen in love!
It was Callum and Selena who were too much of a jinx!
The people from the Poole family group were trembling with anger, wishing they could rush over and shake Christ's neck, yelling at
him to change the nback!
But upon thinking of Christ's cold and cruel nature, they could only think about it.
Selena, who had been paying attention to everything, only raised her eyebrows slightly without any change in expression.
And Christ, who had been keeping an eye on her...
