Chapter 1564: Betrayal
Beatrice's face changed instantly.
She knew exactly what she had done at the research institute, even though no one else did. If it was exposed, according to federal
law, she would be doomed!
Beatrice was ruthless but not entirely brainless. She looked at Selena's face that made her hate and fear her and realized that
Lillian deliberately sent her here to die! That woman clearly intended to send her to death!
She needed to use the blood of her own sister as a stepping stone for her ambition!
Taking a deep breath, Beatrice suddenly suppressed all of her anger. She put on an expression and looked at Selena. "Mr. Turner,
can we talk alone?"
Selena smiled with interest and clapped her hands.
The people in the conference room understood and left in an orderly manner.
Leia looked seriously at Beatrice, worried that she might harm the young lady.
Selena turned around and glanced at Leia before saying reassuringly,"It's okay."
Leia remembered Selena's "long criminal record" with tears in her eyes as she said,"Missy, please don't do anything reckless again;
Master will be angry..."
Selena naturally knew what Leia meant by this; she rubbed Leia's hair gently, "Don't worry; | won't do it again."
With this assurance from Selena, Leia left feeling relieved.
Soon, only Selena and Beatrice were left in the conference room.

Beatrice was wearing handcuffs and looked at the lazy and elegant girl sitting across from her. She gritted her teeth but had to put
on a smile. "Mr. Turner, do you know why the Central City Research Institute suddenly decided to collaborate with the H Country
Research Institute?"
Selena smiled. "I gave the Central City Research Institute half an hour. If Miss White can't convincewithin that time, Riddle
Group Empire's judgment on Miss White will be sent directly."
Beatrice's face turned pale.
After what happened at the Central City Research Institute was exposed, she knew that there was no way out for her when it came
to Riddle Group Empire's judgment!
If Lillian didn't order her execution within two days, it could be because of her mother's influence or because she still had suse
and couldn't die yet.
But once public opinion bectoo big of an issue, Lillian would not hesitate to sacrifice even those closest to her for her status
and dignity!
Thinking of Lillian made Beatrice hate Selena even more. She spilled everything out: "The goal of this collaboration with the
Central City Research Institute is not cooperation but targeting you, Miss Turner!"
Selena remained calm and smiled slightly. "Miss White must be joking? | have never had any dealings with Central City before;
such a grand gesture against a stranger seems unreasonable!"
"Who let you have such a face?" Beatrice's expression was indescribable as she looked at Selena's face with envy mixed with fear.
"Does Miss Turner know what this face means in Central City?"
Selena deepened her smile."Oh?"
Beatrice stared at Selena with pity mixed with disgust in her eyes."Miss Turner looks exactly like our late Empress from Riddle
Group Empire... and my younger sister is next in line for succession."
"She fears that you will threaten my sister's position so naturally wants you gone; | am just one of its pawns!"
A perfectly timed surprise appeared on Selina's face as she gently stroked his cheekbone,"My face... looks exactly like Her Majesty
The Empress from Riddle Group Empire?"
"It's not just about looks," Beatrice looked at Selena with a deep, intense gaze. "You really resemble the Queen..."
If it was just physical resemblance, that would be one thing.
But if people didn't know that the Queen had already passed away and saw Selena in the Empire, they would all think that the
Queen had returned.
Selena seemed surprised and smiled. "Just because of my face, Miss White's sister wants to kill me?"
Beatrice snorted coldly. "My sister will do anything to achieve her goals!"
"She even usedas a sacrifice for her own benefit as her own sister! What more for someone she doesn't even know!"
"Anyone who gets in her way will be eliminated without hesitation!"
At this moment, Beatrice understood that Lillian must have known what she was doing at the research institute.
To avoid being dragged down by her older sister in case things were exposed one day, Lillian threw her under the bus first.
Lillian knew Beatrice's personality well enough to know that once she saw Selena's face, she wouldn't be able to resist coming
after Selena!
If Selena was just an ordinary person, then use Beatrice's hand to get rid of Selena!
If Selena was a ruthless character herself, then use Selena's hand to get rid of Lillian!
Regardless of which outchappened in the end, Lillian would always cout on top!
"But do you have any evidence?" asked Selena as she looked at Beatrice with a sly smile on her face.

Beatrice choked up.
"Proof?" she asked.
Before meeting Selena in person, Beatrice had not taken this matter seriously at all. How could she have focused on gathering
evidence? Besides, Lillian had done nothing except issue a command for the two research institutes to cooperate. She hadn't even
shown her face throughout the whole ordeal. How could there be any evidence?
Moreover, the murder of the H-country mechanic was completely unrelated to Lillian... Beatrice wanted to drag Lillian down with
this matter, but it was impossible.
Beatrice was trembling with anger.
She despised Lillian's despicable and underhanded tactics and regretted her own impulsive behavior. If given a chance to return to
Central City, she would make sure that woman paid!
Selena looked at Beatrice's contorted face and chuckled lightly. "Miss White's words are just one side of the story," she said. "We
need your side before we can get a clear picture."
Upon hearing Selena's words, Beatrice thought that Selena didn't believe her and wanted to execute her directly. Her expression
changed instantly.
"I'm telling you the truth!" she exclaimed. "Mr. Turner can send someone to investigate in Central City."
"You've already been exposed globally; there is no way Lillian will let you live!" Selena retorted coldly.
"Oh yes! There is another person who went withon this trip besides myself - his nis Robert." Beatrice hesitated for a
moment but then decided that it was better not to hold back anything from Selena given how ruthless she seemed."He is Lillian's
right-hand man and he chere specifically to kill you!"
Selena raised her eyebrows and looked into Beatrice's eyes with a certain coldness and sarcasm.
No wonder Lillian wants to save this sister.
Beatrice, who may not be a member of the royal family but was born to a daughter of the Riddle Group's marriage, can make...
