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

Chapter 104 Chief Justice

The question flashed through everyone's minds, and they were all taken aback.

Sevier answered first: "No!"

He and Scarlett have made a promise that they will not get divorced, not ever.

Chi Ye took a few deep breaths, suppressing his anger, and said impatiently, "I don't want to."

Riley looked at Zheko, who hesitated for a few seconds, "Not for now."

He'll make a decision after he figures out why Scarlett is involved in murder.

Riley looked at Holster again. Holster raised an eyebrow, remembering the three heart-protecting scales that had been plucked and grown back. His smoky gray pupils gleamed, and after a long while, he said, "I don't want to."

After saying that, he asked Riley, "And you?"

Riley laughed and said, "I didn't want to either."

As soon as these words came out.

The people present were all somewhat stunned.

The one with the strongest reaction was Chi Ye, "You don't want to???? Aren't you and Sophia on good terms?? Childhood sweethearts, inseparable since childhood, almost got married. Because of this, you have a lot of resentment towards Scarlett, and for your own selfish desires, you teamed up with us to force her to divorce."

Riley narrowed his eyes. "So my rumors started from you."

Chi Ye was taken aback. "What do you mean by rumors? This is clearly the truth! You dare to say you don't like Sophia?"

“I never liked Sophia in the first place,” Riley snapped.

"fart!"

Chi Ye became more and more excited as he spoke, "You transformed into your beast form before, accepted Sophia's comfort, and caused Scarlett to be humiliated. You still dare to say you don't like her! Don't you understand what it means for a male to accept comfort from a female?!"

Riley's temples bulged with anger at these words, his smile crumbled, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light. "I didn't..."

"Alright! Let's not talk about this now. Scarlett is the priority. Put everything else aside for now."

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Holst spoke up to interrupt.

He didn't want to waste time on these pointless arguments.

We can argue later; Scarlett is more important right now.

Riley realized his lapse in composure, frowned, and stopped looking at Chi Ye.

He laid the issue bare, saying, "We could unite our families to frame Scarlett before, and we can unite our families to save Scarlett now."

"Online public opinion can be the last straw that breaks the camel's back, or it can be the fire that saves Scarlett."

“What do you mean?” Zheko asked.

Riley laughed and replied, "If it weren't just Christine who died, the answer would be completely different."

Riley then shared several other screenshots with everyone.

There are seven wanted posters.

It includes a photo, name, age, and background.

The reward details are very simple.

As long as you provide them with their current information, whatever it may be, and it is confirmed to be true, you will receive one million star coins.

The bounty poster was up for a day.

No one responded.

"What does it mean?"

"I can't understand it," Sevia asked, puzzled.

He didn't quite understand the meaning of these bounty posters; they seemed to have nothing to do with Scarlett.

Holster, however, noticed something amiss: "Are these all people from the 403 Research Institute?"

Riley nodded. "That's right."

He instructed Sevier, "Sevier, remove the domain."

Once the area was cleared, Lilia stood outside holding a dessert.

She also saw the seven wanted posters and said while placing desserts, "His Highness asked me to issue these before he left. There was originally a wanted poster for Christine, but His Highness removed it, leaving only the seven of them."

Riley understood Scarlett's meaning. He continued, "This is Scarlett's way out, but it could also become a dead end at any time. She's not just taking away one person's cake, but a whole group's. That's why I asked you if you really want a divorce. If not, we'll stand with Scarlett and get this over with together."

The importance of the 403 Research Institute to the Empire is self-evident.

As soon as Riley spoke, none of the four hesitated.

Holster said, "Although I don't know how Scarlett went from investigating one person to investigating a group of people, I know a little about it. Her starting point was good, but she was too bold and it was all for nothing. But she's the mistress, so I had no choice but to play along."

Sylvia said, "I follow Scarlett unconditionally."

Chi Ye said, "Scarlett's business is my business. I can go and smash up the 403 Research Institute right now and go to jail with Scarlett!"

Zheke rolled his eyes at Chi Ye's words and calmly said, "I'll take responsibility for the public opinion on the StarNet."

Thus, everyone made their stance clear.

Riley breathed a sigh of relief and was about to continue when Lilia suddenly exclaimed "Ah!" and quickly flipped open her memo, saying, "His Highness also said that we should hire the most expensive lawyer for her! The most expensive one! And then visit her every day, bringing lots of snacks, and preferably some toys, game consoles or something, because she's afraid she'll get bored inside."

"Also, Her Highness said to take good care of things inside, and not to be stingy with money, because she is afraid that they will treat her differently and that she will have a hard time inside."

"Of course, the most important thing is to clear her name and let her walk out openly and honestly. There must be no record of her going to jail in her file, because she is worried that it will affect her future civil service exams."

Everyone: "..." Riley coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment and asked Lilia with a smile, "Is there anything else?"

Lilia shook her head. "No."

"okay, I get it."

When the name lawyer came up, Riley thought of someone. He turned to look at Zheko. "I remember Brian was a lawyer on Kania?"

Zheko understood and stood up, saying, "I'll bring him back now."

One more person means one more helper.

Holster had the same idea, and he immediately stood up, saying, "I'll go find Mo Ting."

He and Mo Ting have a good relationship; if he goes to find him, Mo Ting will come back.

Chi Ye's anger subsided, and his reason gradually returned. Without Riley's instructions, he knew what he had to do.

"I'll go prepare things for Scarlett, and I'll also follow up on those seven bounty posters."

The bounty came from the dark web; he knew how to do it.

Most of the people had left, leaving only Sevilla and Riley.

Sevia sat blankly in the chair, looking left and right, unsure of what to do.

He seemed unable to do anything for Scarlett.

He relinquished his status as a prince and could not return to his home planet to ask his mother for help.

Asking the Empress for money is possible, but she said it has to be exchanged for goods.

He changed the message last time, but this time, he doesn't want to change it.

If he is discovered, he will be driven away.

He has no influence on this planet.

He could only watch; there was nothing he could do.

Sylvia looked helplessly at Riley, her brow furrowed, a broken glimmer in her eyes, her deep blue eyes wet, as if pleading with Riley to tell her what she could do.

He didn't want to be a useless person who couldn't do anything.

Riley, like a gentle older brother, ruffled his hair and said, "Flowers can lift a person's spirits. If you bring Scarlett a bouquet when you visit her, she'll be very happy. Sevier, you love flowers so much, you must know how to take care of them, right? Could you prepare a few beautiful bouquets for Scarlett?"

Although the interstellar flowers are cultivated using technology, they still need human care to grow more and more beautiful.

Upon hearing this, Sevier's eyes lit up. "Great!"

As for Ashley...

Riley thought for a moment.

Don't disturb him.

……

……

"Innocent! I, Your Highness, have been innocent!"

Scarlett lay on the bed with her arms behind her head, her legs crossed and raised high, yawning and protesting her innocence.

When you get tired of shouting, take a nap, then wake up and continue shouting.

The cell light remained on, and she lost track of time. She felt a pang of nostalgia for the leisurely days at Herda Palace and sighed silently.

"Why is Your Highness sighing all of a sudden?"

Just then, an elegant female voice came from the other side of the door, sounding somewhat sarcastic.

This cell is very special.

It appears to be airtight, but in reality, every wall can be turned into a door for people to enter.

Scarlett was used to it and could even chat with her for a bit. "How can I not sigh when I, a princess of the empire, am unjustly imprisoned?"

The person outside the door smiled and agreed, "That's certainly something to sigh about."

Scarlett raised her eyebrows, sat up in bed, and said happily as if she had found a kindred spirit, "You also believe that I, Your Highness, am innocent?"

The man said, "I don't know, Your Highness is not familiar with your character."

Scarlett patted her chest. "I'm an absolutely good person."

"is it?"

The man laughed again, "If you're a good person, why would you end up in court?"

Scarlett laughed and said, "Look at what you're saying. Going to court doesn't mean I'm guilty. At most, I'm a suspect. Only when the presiding judge pronounces the verdict can it be proven that I'm guilty and a bad person."

The man said, "That's true."

Scarlett liked the person's voice, and seeing that she was willing to chat with her, she couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? A fellow inmate?"

"Fellow inmate?"

The man denied it, saying, "I am not. I am the Chief Justice."

The woman walked into the prison with a gentle, warm smile, her beauty captivating. "She is also Mo Ting's mother. Mo Ting asked me to come and see you."
