Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh

Chapter 939 Spitting Blood For a moment, they couldn't find anything wrong with Freddie's decision, but he also couldn't say anything due to his indecisiveness.

Selena cast a cold glance at Vivian and said, "Miss Shaw, you are right. It's like how Osvaldo likes me and not you. You can only blame yourself for not being likable enough!" Vivian was struck in the most painful place in her heart and her face turned blue immediately. She stood up and slammed the table, shouting, "Selena!" Selena's tone was calm as she said, "Isn't that what you meant?" Vivian was filled with hatred, but she couldn't come up with a rebuttal. After all, she was the one who had spoken those words just seconds ago.

Freddie said coldly, "Miss Turner, you should know when to stop. If you have too big of an appetite, you'll end up choking yourself!" His words carried a clear threat.

Selena smiled coldly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shaw. | can swallow up the entire research institute, let alone the Shaw family." Freddie's expression immediately turned cold, and the viciousness in his eyes was no longer concealed. The atmosphere in the conference room seemed to freeze in an instant.

The top executives of the research institute frowned as they watched the confrontation between the Turner family and the Shaw family.

Selena refused to back down, and Freddie couldn't allow her to achieve her goal. These two powerful families were about to have a showdown.

Although Selena was just a weak woman, Patrick was sitting next to her. Moreover, her boyfriend was Osvaldo! Henry's expression darkened. The Turner family and the Poole family were mortal enemies. Once the Shaw family retreated, the Turner family would deal with the Shaw family first, and then the Poole family would be next.

Regardless of the relationship between the Poole family and the Shaw family, the two families must be united in their stance against the Turner family. This was the order given to him by the Shaw family patriarch! As for the strange incident where they had agreed to Selena's proposal for collective arbitration last time, he had already figured out that it was the work of the Poole family's young master.

Dexter was furious about it. If he hadn't agreed to Selena's proposal at the time, things wouldn't have come to this point today.

Henry looked at Christ with displeasure in his eyes.

Callum caused trouble for Dexter's granddaughter in the past, causing the Poole family to lose a precious gem. He not only abandoned his family name and betrayed the family but also hated the patriarch and vowed to never associate with the Poole family again. Now, his daughter is causing trouble for the Poole family's great-grandson. If another Milana were to appear, Dexter would be driven crazy! Furthermore, unlike Katie, who is just a granddaughter, Christ is the designated heir of the Poole family. If Selena ruins him, the Poole family will decline. Henry shook his head in dismay at the thought. It seemed like the Poole family owed the Turner family a debt.

Seeing both sides at a stalemate, Henry suddenly spoke up, "Miss Turner, Mr. Shaw has a point. Based on just a text message, there is no way to convict the executives of the institute. If you have no other evidence, then you should follow Mr. Shaw's advice." Everyone knew that Henry was from the Poole family and his position represented the family's stance. Although there were some within the institute who sided with the Turner family, more had already pledged their allegiance to the Poole and Shaw families.

With the Poole family openly supporting the Shaw family, the matter was as good as settled.

After all, the Turner family might be able to confront the Shaw family alone, but with the Poole family's support, Selena would have to comply even if she didn't want to. Seeing this situation, Vivian sneered disdainfully and gave Selena a contemptuous look.

Just as Christ was about to speak, Freddie suddenly turned to him and said, "Mr. Poole, although you may have feelings for Miss Turner, you should remember that you are ultimately a Poole. The most important thing is..." Freddie's eyes suddenly took on a hint of sarcasm as he whispered, "Don't forget that Miss Turner is now married!" Selena had already married Osvaldo, and few people knew about it. However, Freddie and Vivian were aware of it, and this was a major concern for Christ. Like Selena stabbing Vivian, Freddie had struck the most vulnerable spot in Christ's heart.

He was being reminded that Selena was now Osvaldo's wife. If he intervened, he would be siding with his love rival's wife and going against his own family.

Most importantly, based on the grudges between the two, Selena wouldn't take his affection.

Christ glared at Selena with a gloomy expression. "I don't need Mr. Shaw's concern for my affairs!" Freddie sneered and withdrew his gaze. But the look in his eyes when he looked at Selena was icy with a hint of playfulness.

This woman had already married Osvaldo but still flirted with Christ. If she ever angered Osvaldo, she wouldn't need anyone else to take care of her; she would only be digging her own grave! Selena's curly lashes drooped down, and her dark eyes turned cold as ice. A hand gently pressed on her shoulder.

Leia, who was standing by her side, didn't stop her. Only one person could approach her without being stopped by Leia.

Selena lifted her eyelids and turned her head, meeting Patrick's worried gaze. "Selena, let's go back first!" For Patrick, there was probably nothing more important than Selena's safety at the moment. The Turner family's main lineage was now left with only him and Selena. If one of them were gone, the remaining one would surely be very lonely and in pain.

That's why Patrick had persisted in living, even when he was plagued by illness and pain. Now that he had Selena, he couldn't die! Whether it was the research institute or the medical school, they had plenty of time to plan, but all of their plans hinged on Selena being okay. She was too abnormal today! Not only was her mood abnormal, but the occasional glimmer in her eyes was also not right.

Because of this, Patrick didn't even have the inclination to focus on the progress of the research institute's affairs. He just wanted to take Selena back immediately and have the doctors give her a thorough checkup.

Selena looked at Patrick's worried eyes and furrowed her brows, raising her hand to press on her forehead. She vaguely sensed that something was wrong with her, but she only attributed it to her fight with Osvaldo last night. That man had argued with her, ignored her, and left her alone, which was why she was so unhappy...

Thinking of this, Selena's brows furrowed deeper, and she said to Patrick, "I'm fine - " Before Selena could finish her sentence, her face suddenly changed, and a sudden sharp pain hit her chest. She unexpectedly spat out a mouthful of blood, and her slender body fell backwards onto the ground.

The bright red blood splattered and stained Patrick's snow-white suit.

"Selena!" Patrick's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly reached out to support her.

"Madam!" Leia screamed.

The whole room was in shock.

At the same time, the closed doors of the conference room were suddenly pushed open from the outside.
