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

Chapter 89 This prince likes you very much, and will continue to chat with you tomorrow.
Scarlett looked at Hill calmly, without any embarrassment at being caught red-handed. She smiled naturally and asked, "Hill, do you mind if I take a look at the files in your archives?"

"do not mind."

Hill smiled in agreement, his gaze sweeping over the food box on the ground and the bone china plate next to it.

She came in, bent down and picked up the two items, saying, "Your Highness, the environment here is not good and is not suitable for dining. How about I find you another place?"

Scarlett took out Vanessa's file folder and waved it in her hand. "Can I take this with me?"

Hill stared at the name on the file folder, her gaze unusually calm, yet revealing a chilling undertone. "Okay."

Hill led the way, taking Scarlett outside.

As she reached the door, Scarlett turned back to look at Susanna. "I like you very much. I'll continue to chat with you tomorrow."

Susanna stood deep inside the filing room, flanked by filing cabinets. A few rays of light streamed through the skylight in the wall, lengthening the shadows cast by the upside-down filing cabinets.

Two shadows overlap.

Susanna felt as if she were in darkness, surrounded by a chilling atmosphere.

Upon hearing Scarlett's words, she looked up.

Scarlett stood in the doorway, her face and body bathed in light. Her shadow was also elongated by the light, and when someone came to her side, the edges of her silhouette were bright, with several colorful streaks appearing diagonally.

It shines like a gemstone.

Susanna looked at Scarlett, only at Scarlett, and said, "Yes, Your Highness."

……

……

The research institute has several glass rooms specifically for cultivating plants, similar to greenhouses, except that they are filled with trees.

These trees are not tall, only about two meters high, but their canopies are extremely lush, like open umbrellas. Their leaves are glossy and have a pleasant, slightly sweet fragrance.

Not strong.

But when you sniff it, your nasal cavity is filled with its scent.

Scarlett sat in the middle of the glass room, watching Hill open the food box, take out desserts and place them on the table. After that, Hill poured her a cup of black tea and said with a smile, "Cheesecake tastes best with black tea. Black tea cuts through the richness and brings out the creaminess of the cheese better, making it rich but not greasy."

Scarlett raised an eyebrow. "It seems the Dean knows a lot about desserts. Why don't we sit down and have some together?"

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Hill, however, refused and sat opposite Scarlett.

The desserts were all taken out, but Hill's hand didn't leave the food box. Her fingertips touched a ruby, and with a gentle movement, the ruby ​​was in her hand.

She examined it closely and exclaimed in surprise, "The things in the Herda Palace are really peculiar; there's even a camera inside a tiny gemstone."

Hill handed the ruby ​​to Scarlett, "Your Highness, look."

Scarlett remained calm, took the ruby, and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow!" She said, "There really is a camera."

Hill smiled and said, "Your Highness should thoroughly investigate the Herda Palace. The cameras can be large or small, and it would be bad if Your Highness's privacy were violated."

Scarlett waved her hand, "I have nothing to fear, as I am upright and proper in my conduct."

Hill smiled and agreed, "That's right, Your Highness is not afraid of anything."

Hill had other things to do, so he finished his cheesecake and said goodbye.

She returned to her office, glanced at Susanna sitting at her desk, head down, and her gentle features suddenly hardened, a layer of frost appearing in her eyes. She asked sharply, "What did you just say to His Highness?"

……

……

Scarlett opens Vanessa's file.

I only glanced at it when someone came in through the glass room; it was Vanessa.

Scarlett calmly put down the documents and said, "Hello."

Vanessa smiled slightly, glancing subtly at the file folder, and said directly, "Is Your Highness interested in me?"

Scarlett didn't deny it, and frankly said, "You're Ashley's teacher, and I want to know more about you."

"You know me?" Vanessa asked, frowning. Scarlett nodded. "As the saying goes, 'love me, love my dog.' If I want to be good to Ashley, I naturally have to be good to his teacher too, so that his teacher can say a few good words for me to him."

Scarlett looked at Vanessa with a grin. "You're right, aren't you, teacher?"

Vanessa laughed. "Your Highness is so humorous. You are the ruler, and I am the subject. I am not worthy of being called your 'teacher'."

Everyone knows Scarlett's methods: make a scene, go crazy, and then go berserk. No one can get the better of her.

Is she kind to others?

It's simply a wonder of the world.

Vanessa couldn't believe it, wouldn't believe it, and didn't want to have anything to do with Scarlett.

Scarlett understood the sarcasm in Vanessa's words, but she wasn't annoyed. She smiled and said, "Actually, it's not entirely because of Ashley that I want to know about you. I just looked at Christine's file in the archives and found that you are not only Ashley's teacher but also Christine's teacher. So I'd like to ask you, do you know where Christine's family lives? I couldn't find it in her file."

"Your Highness is looking for Christine?"

"Correct."

"why?"

"What do you say?"

Scarlett's expression suddenly turned serious, her eyes turning cold as she quickly swept her gaze across Vanessa's face.

Vanessa's cheek twitched. "Is Your Highness still bothered by that photo?"

"of course."

Scarlett said fiercely, "That photo shamed me and caused me to be imprisoned in the royal court for a month. She just disappeared so easily. I am not satisfied and she must be punished properly!"

Vanessa, quick-witted, asked, "Why is Your Highness looking for her now? Why didn't you ask about her before?"

Scarlett gritted her teeth, her eyes reddening, her hatred evident in them. "Some things are just like that, the more you think about them, the angrier you get. I originally wanted to be magnanimous and forgive her, but the thought that the whole StarNet knows that I've been cuckolded makes me furious."

"This prince has no tolerance for such people; she must be dragged out and severely punished to vent my anger!"

Vanessa gazed at Scarlett. "Your Highness, what will you do if you find Christine? Will you simply punish her?"

Scarlett curled her lips into a malicious smile. "Let's see how she apologizes to me."

Vanessa was silent for a moment, then said regretfully, "Unfortunately, I don't know where she is either."

……

……

It didn't matter whether Vanessa knew about Scarlett or not. If Scarlett wouldn't tell her, she would ask others. The research institute was so big; she was sure she could find information about Christine.

Hill removed the camera from the food container, and Scarlett, too lazy to take the food container with her, simply abandoned it in the glass room.

Catherine granted her access to the research institute, allowing her to roam freely within its grounds.

The research institute's management team all lived in the same office building, and she walked through the entire building, asking everyone she met if they knew where Christine lived.

Scarlett was always seen as a crazy person who could go berserk at any moment, so it's not surprising that she acted this way.

Although the people were afraid, they didn't take it to heart.

In the blink of an eye, another day has passed.

Scarlett arrived at Lab 27 feeling dejected.

I opened the laboratory door and went inside.

It's 5 PM now, the time when everyone else is leaving get off work, but there are still four people in the lab, and no one has left.

They stood intently at the lab bench, working on their experiments.

Scarlett did not disturb them.

She wandered around the outside of the laboratory for a while, then stopped in front of the wall of honor, staring at the photos for a moment.

Then, he reached out, tore off a photo, and put it in his pocket.
