Chapter 1179 Accusation
The indescribable silence was suddenly shattered by a light sound from the back seat.
Hattie climbed onto the back seat with her backpack on her back.
Selena quickly shifted her gaze away and dared not look at the man's eyes. She coughed, "Let's go
back."
Osvaldo looked at the blushing girl and a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes. He calmly returned to the
driver's seat and started the car.
Hattie put down her backpack and looked up at Selena.
Then she noticed that Selena's expression seemed off. She asked with concern, "Selena, what's
wrong?"
"It's nothing," Selena coughed. "Hattie, rest early after we go back. You have to study tomorrow
morning."
"I know, Selena," Hattie nodded.
...
At the same time, inside the Baxter family mansion, Constance was sitting in front of the computer,
staring at the flickering screen with a somewhat inexplicable expression.
It seemed like she was struggling and hesitant, yet there was also a hint of discontent.
Neve walked in from the door and placed a pile of materials on the table. "Constance, these are the
materials you brought back from 717. I put them on the table."
There was no response.
Neve looked up and saw Constance frowning, as if she had encountered some problem.
She immediately asked, "Constance, what's wrong?"
After pausing for a moment, Constance's face suddenly darkened, "Did that Selena bully you again?!"
Without waiting for Constance's response, Neve immediately said, "You've been sulking since you
came back from the Turner family mansion. That woman must have done something wicked again!"
"This is simply too much!"
Constance seemed to have not heard her words. With her eyes lowered, she asked nonchalantly, "Did
you mention the existence of the 'Sacred Pearl' when you called the teacher last time?"
It was only after she returned to H Country that she found out that there was actually one of these
pearls being researched in H Country's research institute.
"No!" Neve smiled knowingly and said, "Constance, don't worry. I know what's important."
"You are a person from H Country. How could you 'betray' your own country?"
"As long as you don't say anything, I won't either. No one from 717 will know about the 'Sacred Pearl' in
H Country."
This matter was originally a secret of the research institute.
However, given Constance's special identity as the granddaughter of Diego, the Shaw family and the
high-level officials of the Institute told her the news in order to win her over.
When Constance first learned about the "Sacred Pearl" in H Country, she was quite surprised.
She never thought that H Country would have such a great opportunity to obtain something that almost
every country wanted.
What surprised her even more was that a mechanic from the Institute could manipulate the "Sacred
Pearl".
Constance had a feeling that there was something hidden in this.
As far as she knew, besides the owner of the "Sacred Pearl," no one else had ever been able to
manipulate it. Even her teachers and several deans couldn't do it. But the fact that the "Sacred Pearl"
was indeed locked up could not be denied.
Constance could only attribute it to Diana's good luck, perhaps a case of a blind cat stumbling upon a Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
dead mouse.
Initially, when she learned about the "Sacred Pearl" in H Country, Constance had planned to keep it a
secret, after all, this was her homeland.
But now--
Constance thought of the news that Osvaldo was about to be engaged to Selena, and her eyes
darkened.
Seeing her silence, Neve thought Constance was worried and quickly assured her, "Constance, don't
worry, I won't tell anyone about this."
"Although there are rules in 717, I've been by your side since you entered the lab, and I will always
stand by you."
However, Constance refused and said firmly, "No, we have a responsibility to tell our teachers about
this."
"Strictly speaking, the "Sacred Pearl" is the product of 717. As a member of Lab 717, how can I sit back
and watch the "Sacred Pearl" fall into the wrong hands and choose to conceal it for my own benefit?"
Neve was suddenly shocked, "But if we do that, on the H Country--"
The importance of the "Sacred Pearl" was self-evident. Obtaining it was almost equivalent to obtaining
an ace.
Not to mention the amazing benefits that would come from mastering its theoretical research. If news of
the "Sacred Pearl" in H Country were to spread, forget about 717, those countries would probably stop
at nothing to snatch it away.
If Constance really does this, even if she is the granddaughter of Mr. Baxter, she cannot escape
punishment.
Most importantly, the "Sacred Pearl" belongs to that person.
Constance has a certain status within the 717 experiment.
But compared to "that person," she...
Constance has been in the lab for three years and has never even seen the other person. It can be
imagined how big the gap between them is.
Constance's eyes were red and her face showed an expression of unbearable pain. "I don't want to
betray my country, but my teachers have trained me for so many years, and I cannot forget their
kindness."
"I feel like I've been torn in half, one side is my country, the other side is my mentor, and I don't know
what to do."
"How can I do the right thing and make everyone happy?"
Neve looked at her almost crying and suddenly became anxious. "Constance, this is not your fault,
it's... it's..."
Seeing Constance's tearful face, Neve blurted out, "It's Selena's fault!"
After shouting this sentence, Neve seemed to have a sudden realization. "Constance, I have an idea.
You can't be a traitor to your country, nor can you let down 717. Let Selena do this!"
Thinking this was a great idea, Neve said coldly, "Consider it as her making up for what she did to hurt
you before!"
Constance looked up, her eyes still red and teary, "But it was my idea..."
"It wasn't you! It was Selena!" Neve sneered, "She's just a mechanic outside with skill who wants to
trample on our 717. She should be taught a lesson and know that we are not to be trifled with!"
After speaking, Neve looked seriously at Constance. "Constance, Selena must do this, and only Selena
can do it!"
"You are the genius mechanic of 717 and the future star of H Country. How can you bear the stain for
something that's not your fault?"
"That Selena was born lowly and has a narrow vision. She never had the chance to get in touch with
717, otherwise she would have revealed this secret a long time ago!"
"Now we have given her the opportunity to get in touch with 717, and she should be grateful!"
"Just do it like this. When the time comes, we'll directly push the blame onto her. Consider it as the
price she pays for challenging 717!"
