Stunningly beautiful yet wicked, she begins by conquering eight beast husbands.

Chapter 103 Do you really want to divorce Scarlett?
"last question."

Sophie turned off the recorder in front of Scarlett, "Did Your Highness kill someone?"

Scarlett noticed that Sophia was acting strangely today. Although she looked the same, the aura she exuded was odd, with a calmness that revealed a hint of indifference, a disregard for everything, and no emotional fluctuations.

It was as if they were certain she had killed someone, and they kept leading her in that direction.

Inside the cell.

The space is cramped.

The two stood facing each other.

Keep your eyes fixed on the other person.

Sofia was tall and slender, with cold and sharp eyes. Her pale golden pupils emitted a sharp glint as she stared directly into Scarlett's eyes.

Scarlett was the same height as Sofia, and their eyes met. Her features were soft yet strong, and a wild, vigorous, and burgeoning life force grew wildly in her eyes. A fierce and unyielding animalistic nature unique to females burst forth at the same time, responding to Sofia's piercing gaze.

"The Queen Mother appointed you to handle my case because she expects you to solve it with actions, not words."

"Want to know if I killed someone? You should investigate yourself, not ask."

……

……

[Luck Value +1000]

【Lifespan +20】

[Remaining lifespan: 308 days]

Leave the cell.

Sofia heard the system announcement.

Five days in a row.

The announcement never stopped.

The harder Scarlett's life gets, the more luck she gains.

Even her system couldn't help but jump out to praise her: "Well done, Sophia! Your move was flawless, killing two birds with one stone. You schemed against Scarlett and Morton. Once Scarlett dies, all her luck will transfer to you. You will surely be the future emperor of the Oran Rosa Empire!"

Sofia remained unmoved and walked out of the courtroom with a calm expression.

……

……

at dusk.

The Imperial Court.

A series of coughs came from the side hall.

Katrina carried the medicine inside.

Catherine sat at her desk, coughing with her hand over her mouth. There was a huge pile of documents in front of her, and she still held a pen in her right hand.

Catherine's pale face was hidden in the warm light, her sharp features softened, and her cough left behind several frail afterimages.

"His Majesty."

Katrina bent down to put down the medicine and patted Catherine's back to help her breathe.

Catherine stopped writing but didn't touch the medicine. Looking at the black liquid in the white porcelain bowl, which emitted a bitter aroma, she asked, "How is Scarlett?"

Katrina said, "Her Highness is being held in the seventh level of prison. Princess Sofia visited her an hour ago."

"What did you say?"

Princess Sofia questioned His Highness about the details of the 'murder,' and His Highness answered her questions but did not admit to the murder. His Highness also said that if he wanted to know whether she had committed the murder, he would investigate it himself.

Catherine smiled. "This child is much more stubborn than I imagined. She knows it's a pit of fire but she still jumps in, trying to use herself as bait to force me to get involved in the research institute's affairs."

Katrina smiled as well, "Your Highness and His Majesty are very similar. His Majesty was just like that back then."

"Yes, I was the same way back then."

When that incident was mentioned, Catherine's eyes glazed over for a moment, and she gave a bitter smile, saying with emotion, "Back then, the Queen Mother almost couldn't protect me, and I don't know if I could protect Scarlett."

Katrina knew that Catherine was recalling the past, and realizing she had spoken out of turn, she remained silent for a moment before gently saying, "Your Majesty, His Highness will be just as fortunate as you are, so please rest assured."

"I hope so," Catherine nodded with a smile.

Although Catherine said this, she held a fuse in her hand, ready to ignite it without reservation if things got out of control, to protect Scarlett's safety.

Catherine picked up the medicine bowl and casually asked, "Is this a new medicine?" Katrina replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. This is a new medicine prepared by Winky based on an ancient formula. It is milder than the original medicine and has already been tested; it is safe to use."

"Ah."

After finishing her medicine, Catherine continued with her official duties. The moment she picked up her pen, she instructed, "Katrina, during this period, anyone from Herda Palace, regardless of who they are, shall be refused entry."

……

……

late at night.

Herda Palace.

Chi Ye disembarked from the airship and stormed into the main hall in a fit of rage.

He had been turned away twice in a row, and now he was furious, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at everyone with impatience.

He sat down in the chair, gave Holster a sidelong glance, and then said, "Your jinx came true. His Majesty refuses to see me, and the court won't allow Scarlett to visit him in prison."

Holst raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and turned to look at Riley.

Riley understood, turned on his personal computer, selected sharing, and played the hot news that was trending on the StarNet today for everyone to see.

[The wicked Scarlett Johansson murders civilians; a former beacon of humanity now lies dead. The true culprit is protected both inside and outside the capital. Is there any hope left for the common people?]
The article below details how Scarlett caused a scene at the research institute because of a photograph, relentlessly pursued and ultimately murdered civilian Christine.

The language is concise and the wording is precise. Every key turning point is described in detail, as if it were a personal experience.

This has sparked heated discussions on StarNet.

Millions of comments scroll continuously, offering something new every time you look at them.

Because it was anonymous, everyone's comments were highly subjective, and the language was inflammatory, with countless insulting words appearing.

If language could be transformed into a sharp blade, it could strike Scarlett Johansson through the internet.

She would probably be riddled with wounds and unrecognizable by now, with no place left to cut her.

"These people are too outrageous! I'm going to drag them all out, send them to court, hang them up and beat them for three days and three nights, torture them to death!" Chi Ye said through gritted teeth, indignantly.

“Yes!” Sevia echoed loudly.

Zheko remained silent, watching quietly, but had other plans in mind.

Seeing that everyone had seen enough, Riley turned off the personal terminal and slowly said, "Isn't this the result we wanted in the first place?"

Chi Ye frowned. "What do you mean?"

Lai glanced at Sevilla out of the corner of his eye. Sevilla was startled, but then understood. Blue light emanated from between her eyebrows, and in a short while, an absolute domain was formed.

Riley continued, "We had planned to use public anger to divorce Scarlett, and isn't this situation exactly what we wanted?"

Chi Ye was taken aback at first, then slammed his fist on the table and stood up, glaring at Riley, "So, you did this?"

Riley just smiled and remained silent.

If he really did it, then this matter is easy to resolve.

Unfortunately, he did nothing.

Zheko pulled Chiye aside. "Wait a minute, let Riley finish speaking."

"What else is there to say!"

Chi Ye said angrily, "He's only interested in divorcing Scarlett and doesn't care about her life or death at all. He might be the one who did this. No way! I have to go to the Imperial Court again and report the truth to His Majesty!"

With that, Chi Ye started to walk out.

Zheke didn't let go and pulled him hard. Chi Ye wasn't as strong as Zheke, and he stumbled and fell back into his chair.

Chi Ye raised his head and said angrily, "Zhe Ke! Are you in cahoots with him to kill Scarlett too?"

"No."

Compared to Chi Ye's irritability, Zhe Ke seemed much calmer. "I just want to hear Riley finish speaking first."

Although Dzeko disliked Riley, he had to admit that at times, Riley was more useful than any of them.

He pressed Chi Ye into the chair and gave Riley a wink, "Continue."

Riley, undeterred, continued.

He stood up, placed his hands on the table, and looked at everyone present. His dark green eyes shimmered with a gentle light as he slowly asked, "Do you really want to divorce Scarlett?"
