Chapter 91 The inexplicable person
The one who provoked Scarlett was a dark-haired female with an employee ID badge on her chest. Her name was Caroline, and she belonged to Laboratory 27.

He has thick eyebrows and big, bright eyes. He has a straight nose and high cheekbones. He is seven parts heroic and three parts handsome, with a gentle yet strong presence.

She gazed at Scarlett, a nonchalant smile playing on her lips, and remained silent, waiting for Scarlett's reply.

Scarlett laughed at this blatant provocation.

In the past, she would have killed everyone equally.

Now?

Same here!
She stuck her chopsticks into the bowl and pushed it over, saying generously, "Eat as much as you like, it's no big deal. If it's not enough, I'll have someone bring some more over later, just the leftovers, I'll make sure you're full."

If you can't use your hands, you can use your mouth. Once the two of you start talking, it's hard to say who will get angry first.

But Caroline didn't play by the rules. Instead of getting angry, she picked up her bowl and chopsticks and started eating the white rice in the bowl, bite by bite.

During the meal, he took plenty of food, eating a bite of rice followed by a bite of vegetables, thoroughly enjoying himself.

Scarlett stared in disbelief, speechless for a long time.

No.

Is she really here to eat?
After finishing her meal, Caroline threw down her chopsticks, got up, and left without saying a word to Scarlett.

Scarlett was even more stunned, her gaze completely fixed on Caroline's back until she could no longer see her.

This person appeared out of nowhere, like an NPC that suddenly appeared in a game due to a programming error.

Scarlett reviewed the original owner's memories, confirmed that the two had no connection, raised her eyebrows and thought for a moment, then an idea popped into her mind.

I must meet with her alone.

After finishing his experiment, Ashley went to the lounge and saw that Scarlett looked unwell, so he frowned as well.

As soon as I sat down, I heard Scarlett ask, "How's your relationship with Caroline?"

The question seemed abrupt and unrelated, prompting Ashley to instinctively assume the worst. He thought Scarlett was being presumptuous and suspecting the female in his life, and replied curtly, "We're just colleagues."

"That means they don't get along."

Scarlett rolled her eyes slightly and continued, "What's her relationship with Christine like?"

Ashley returned the favor with a roll of her eyes. "I don't know."

Scarlett curled her lip and muttered, "The colleagues' relationships are really bad."

Ashley laughed in exasperation. "Who do you think it is because of?"

The work at the research institute requires intense concentration, patience, meticulousness, and strong resilience, hence the majority of the staff are female.

Scarlett's jealous nature is well-known.

Since she married Ashley, Ashley has been like a ghost to the opposite sex, and no one dares to get close to him.

Scarlett paused for a moment, knowing full well that Ashley was referring to her. She didn't respond, but casually changed the subject with some excuse.

……

……

After finishing the documents in her hand, Hill's eyes were a little sore. She rubbed her temples and then heard a knock on the door.

Looking up, I saw Vanessa.

Vanessa brought in a stack of documents, with red labels in the upper right corner, indicating they were important.

Vanessa handed the file to Hill and said solemnly, "The data is wrong again. Out of three hundred data points, only three reached the average, and even those were barely there. The rest of the data are far off, with the most outrageous deviation reaching 16%."

The allowable error range for experimental data is between 0.1% and 1%.

A result exceeding 5% is considered abnormal.

If the failure rate exceeds 10%, it is considered an experimental failure, but there is still room for correction.

16%.

This goes beyond the scope of variables and completely deviates from the essence of experimentation. All steps, including personnel, instruments, and reagents, need to be retested, and comparative experiments should be added. This is what research institutes fear most; it poses a significant challenge to their financial, material, and human resources.

Hill remained calm, took the document, placed it on the pending list, and smiled, "It's alright, we have plenty of resources. His Majesty will support us, and Princess Sophia will also support us."

Vanessa frowned, her eyes darting away, as if she were resisting what Hill was saying.

But upon hearing the following sentence, she composed herself, her gaze sharp as she asked, "What do you intend to do with Her Highness? She seems to have ill intentions."

Hill had a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but weren't, and when she smiled, they inexplicably revealed a sinister air. "Indeed, she's up to no good. If Princess Sophia hadn't reminded me, I would have almost been fooled by her."

She leaned back in her chair, smoothed the wrinkles in her clothes, and looked extremely relaxed. "Don't worry, I've taken care of all the documents, and the same goes for the people. She won't be able to find anything."

"Furthermore..."

Hill tapped her fingers on the table, her smugness radiating from her, her voice cheerful as she said, "She won't stay long. She'll be kicked out soon. No, not kicked out, but the court people will take her away."

Vanessa lowered her eyelids, unsure how to respond, so she simply didn't.

In that moment of silence, Christine's face flashed through her mind.

His gentle features revealed a stubbornness, and his dark eyes shone with an astonishing light, piercing through the shadows and looking at her with unwavering defiance.

"Vanessa."

Noticing Vanessa's absent-mindedness, Hill called her name in a calm voice, pulled out a document from a pile of files and tossed it in front of her, "I've finished reading this one, put it in the archives."

Vanessa had previously worked as Hill's assistant before being appreciated by the former dean and promoted to the academic department, where she was responsible for guidance work.

But in Hill's eyes, she was no different from that little assistant from before, and he often bossed her around.

Vanessa, as always, did not refuse, picked up the documents, and headed to the filing room.

Go to the door.

A casual reminder came from behind.

"Don't forget, we're all in this together. Stop having any improper thoughts. Once you become a butcher, you can forget about going to heaven."

Vanessa did not respond.

He walked indifferently into the document room.

……

……

Another day passed.

Scarlett returned to Herda Palace empty-handed.

Lilia greeted her, but also brought her devastating news.

Sylvia hadn't eaten all day and kept insisting on returning to her home planet. If Holster hadn't stopped her, she probably would have already left Skano.

Upon hearing this, Scarlett had no choice but to abandon Ashley and go find Saviour.

Ashley watched Scarlett leave, then turned to Lilia and asked, "Does Sylvia often act this unreasonably?"

Lilia gave an awkward smile. "Not often."

……

……

As soon as Scarlett approached Sevier's room, she heard him shouting, "Let me go! I want to go back! I never want to see Scarlett again! She lied to me again and again for a mink! I want to go back to my home planet! I'm divorcing Scarlett right now!"

Holster calmly said, "Returning to Alga requires a warp drive, which costs 200,000 star coins. Do you have that much?"

One sentence silenced Seville.

Scarlett stepped into the room into the silence. "Hi, wanna have dinner together?"

When Sevier saw her, his eyes lit up at first, then he turned and went into the bedroom, but didn't close the door.
