Chapter 1349 The Shaw Family is Done
"In terms of qualifications, he is the first candidate for the next dean!"
With the lead of the Shaw Family and the Poole Family, the two major interest groups immediately
began recommending their own candidates.
There were few voices in favor of the Turner Family. The Turner Family had been expelled from the
research institute for nearly twenty years, and those who supported them had long been marginalized.
Therefore, this situation was predictable early on.
Both Oscar and Selena remained unchanged in their expressions despite the split in opinions. Vivian
secretly observed Selena's expression and saw that she was neither panicked nor angry, but rather
seemed indifferent. This further confirmed that Selena really intended to give up the candidacy for
dean.
Vivian's lips curled up as she discreetly glanced at a neutral high-ranking member whom she had just
secretly bought off.
That high-ranking member caught Vivian's hint and immediately stood up, saying, "Mr. Matthews,
whether it's Academician Poole or Academician Smith, they both have excellent achievements and
qualifications, and it is impossible to determine who is better. Why not vote?"
As soon as this was said, the noisy atmosphere at the scene was momentarily frozen.
In theory, the election of the dean of the research institute should have adopted a voting system.
However…
The group's gaze uncontrollably shifted towards the Turner Family.
If they really opened up the voting system, Selena's elimination was almost a foregone conclusion.
Diego and the Turner Family members were eighty percent unlikely to agree.
Diego's face changed as he said, "Although Selena has shallow qualifications, her abilities and
character are enough to make up for this deficiency. Give her some time-"
Vivian interrupted Diego with a sarcastic tone, "Diego, we all know that you value Miss Turner, but rules
are rules. How can an unvoted dean gain the trust of others?"
She sneered at Selena and sharply accused her, "Hasn't the Turner Family always claimed to be
upright and honest?"
"Now, Miss Turner is trying to rely on Diego's support to openly jump over many researchers who are
better than you, and claim the position of dean for herself!"
"This kind of opportunistic behavior…doesn't Miss Turner think it's unsightly?" Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Selena ignored Vivian and turned to Diego, saying softly, "Diego, fairness and justice, and public
opinion are the most important when it comes to the scientific research of H Country."
Diego had originally planned to argue logically, but after hearing Selena's words, he sighed and gave
up the idea.
Selena's expression, which prevented Diego from speaking, made Vivian even more convinced of the
facts she had overheard before.
The last trace of doubt in her heart was removed, and Vivian lifted her chin, looking at Selena with a
cold smile on her face.
Although the people of the Poole Group were puzzled by the Turner family's calm reaction, they agreed
to the voting system.
For so many years, although the majority of the Research Institute was dominated by the Poole family,
in the eyes of outsiders, the head of the Research Institute was still belonging to the Baxter family.
Now that Diego has voluntarily abdicated, how could the Poole Group not want to take charge openly
and honestly?!
As for the voting system, the Poole family has an absolute advantage. The Poole family accounts for
half of the senior personnel in the Research Institute.
This decision is beneficial to them without any harm. Therefore, the Poole family immediately had a
majority in favor.
Christ looked at Selena.
At this critical moment, Selena did not even speak to him or even look at him...
Christ clenched his fists in anger and said in a cold tone, "Well, then let's vote!"
The head of the Poole family spoke, and naturally the other members of the Poole family had no
objections.
Freddie looked at Patrick and then at Selena, squinting slightly.
Although the Turner family did not appear to have any advantage, he did not believe that Selena would
watch the position of the head of the Research Institute fall into the hands of the Poole and Shaw
families!
Miss Turner was dedicated to regaining everything that the Turner family had lost in the past. This was
a rare opportunity, and she was absolutely not going to give up!
With the precedent of Union University in mind, Freddie deeply understood that the more calmly Miss
Turner behaved, the bigger her ambitions were.
Unfortunately, she was destined to be disappointed this time.
Before coming to the Research Institute, he had given a strict order that the Shaw family would never
agree to the opening of the voting system!
The Turner family's biggest weakness was not power or anything else, but their family bloodline! The
chips he held in his hand were enough to make the Turner family compromise. He was not the one who
needed to be worried!
Freddie stared at Selena, waiting to see her face showed disappointment and depression.
Vivian looked at Freddie's calm profile, sweat oozing from her palm, but her eyes revealed
determination.
She glanced at a high-ranking member of the Shaw family sitting next to Freddie, clenched her fists,
stood up, and exclaimed loudly, "The Shaw family agrees to initiate the voting system!"
This earth-shattering sentence rang in Freddie's ears, shattering all the calmness on his face in an
instant.
He turned his head in disbelief, his gaze shot towards Vivian like an electric current. Before he could
speak, he heard the agreement from others in the Shaw Group.
"Seconded!"
"I also agree!"
"The position of the dean of the research institute must be fair and just. The Shaw and the Poole hold
the same attitude!"
Freddie's ears buzzed. He looked at the members of the Shaw family, one after another standing up
and pushing the family towards a point of no return.
He turned pale and was about to shout at these people when Selena, who had been staring at him,
suddenly looked up and gave him a smile.
She whispered, "The Shaw family is finished!"
A wave of coldness surged through Freddie's heart. In just a few seconds of delay, everyone in the
Shaw family had made their stance clear. And privately, even though Freddie held high power, he only
represented one vote on the surface. In the case where the vast majority agreed to initiate the voting
system, his opposing vote was of no use.
Veins throbbed on Freddie's forehead. He almost instantly guessed what was going on. He turned his
head and angrily stared at Vivian. Vivian had never seen Freddie with such a terrifying expression. Her
heart trembled as she said coldly, "Brother, we've come this far. Why don't we fight together?"
"I heard Selena say to Oscar that she's giving up on the competition for the dean of the research
institute, and Oscar agreed."
"Selena won't participate in the competition, and even if she did, what difference would it make?"
"There's not a single Turner family member among the high-ranking officials of the research institute.
She won't get a single vote!"
Under Freddie's increasingly creepy gaze, Vivian was frightened but still refused to back down. "The
worst outcome of the voting system is that the Poole family will come to power..."
Listening to Vivian's self-deception, Freddie couldn't take it anymore. He suddenly raised his hand and
slapped her hard.
"Snap!"
