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

Chapter 87 Your Highness, Christine is a good person

Scarlett placed the food box on the table, opened it, and took out the food inside.

Ashley smelled the aroma of food and paused, then asked, "You really brought me food?"

Scarlett rolled her eyes at him. "What else?"

Ashley paused for a moment, then looked at the four dishes and soup, along with two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table. His brow furrowed slightly, then he picked up one of the sets, filled it with rice, and placed it in front of Scarlett. "Eat."

Scarlett smiled brightly, "You did well. I'll send you your living expenses when we get back."

Ashley paused in his grabbing the bowl. "Living expenses?"

"Yes, living expenses. Sevier and the others all got them, and I also gave Mo Ting and Brian some, but you didn't. Do you know why?"

Scarlett suddenly moved closer to him and asked mysteriously.

For a moment, Ashley's heart raced, but he didn't care and coldly scoffed, "I've blocked you."

"So smart," Scarlett praised with a smile.

The tone was no different from yesterday, a bit childish, as if praising a child.

Ashley scoffed again, ignored him, and continued eating.

The two ate in silence, without saying a word until they finished.

The food was prepared by the chefs at Herda Palace, and it was delicious and visually appealing.

Scarlett had a good appetite and ate almost half of it; Ashley ate the other half.

After finishing their meal, the two leaned back in their chairs to rest for a while.

If you eat too much and feel too full, you need to take a break.

Scarlett patted her round belly and let out a comfortable sigh.

Ashley's eyes flickered as he stared blankly at the empty bowls on the table. After a long pause, he stood up and began clearing away the dishes.

Upon seeing several plates of delicate desserts in the food box, he asked, puzzled, "Aren't you going to eat the desserts?"

He regretted asking the question.

These desserts were probably saved by Scarlett for herself, so asking about them made it seem like he wanted to eat them too.

Scarlett glanced at the dessert and said, "Oh, this is for someone else. If you want some, you can take some out and eat it, just don't ruin the others."

Look.

Misunderstood.

Ashley was somewhat annoyed and was about to explain when he suddenly realized, "Give it to someone else?"

Who?
Who else does Scarlett know at the research institute?
Scarlett glanced at him. "None of your business." She then looked at the food box. "Want some? If not, I'll close it."

Ashley frowned, his tone suddenly becoming sharp, "I won't eat!"

……

……

Scarlett lay in the lounge for two hours.

After lying down, she picked up the food box and went out the door.

The interstellar food box may not look big, but it can actually hold a lot of things.

She carried the food box to the dean's office.

The dean wasn't there; only Susanna was there, engrossed in reading documents.

Scarlett knocked on the door. "May I come in?"

Upon seeing Scarlett, Susanna quickly stood up and bowed, "Your Highness. Of course."

Scarlett walked over to her, casually pulled up a chair and sat down. She left the food box on the table untouched. First, she took out the burn ointment. "Susanna, I'm sorry about yesterday. I accidentally burned you. This is the ointment. I brought it with me."

When Susanna heard Scarlett apologize to her, her eyes widened. She shifted uncomfortably and stammered, "Your Highness, it's...it's alright. You don't need to worry about it. It's not a big problem. It doesn't hurt at all."

Scarlett placed the medicine in front of her and said, "This is from my heart, please accept it."

Susanna dared not refuse, took the medicine, and held it in her hand, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"You're welcome."

Scarlett laughed heartily, "Actually, I came to the research institute this time because I need to talk to you about something. I wonder if you would be willing to do me this favor?"

Upon hearing that Scarlett needed to speak with him...

Susanna tightened her grip on the ointment, her breathing becoming increasingly cautious. "Your Highness, please speak."

Scarlett opened the food box, took out a plate of desserts, placed it on the table, and picked up a piece to put in her mouth first. "Where does Christine live?"

Susanna's face stiffened, and her expression turned somewhat unpleasant. "Your Highness, I don't know either."

“Impossible.” Scarlett picked up another dessert. “You’re Hill’s assistant, in charge of personnel management. You don’t know her information? That’s unacceptable!”

The last sentence sent a shiver down Susanna's spine. Her chin trembled slightly as she cautiously looked at Scarlett. "Your Highness, these are all secrets of the research institute and cannot be leaked."

Scarlett retorted, "Tell me what constitutes a leak? I'm a family member."

Susanna: "..."

This has nothing to do with the family.

Besides, family members aren't employed by the research institute.

Susanna picked at the ointment with her finger. "Your Highness, I believe Ashley has already told you she has resigned. After she resigns, the records will be archived, and I don't have permission to view them."

Scarlett pursed her lips. "So troublesome?"

She looked at Susanna, "Isn't there any other way?"

Susanna shook her head. "No."

Scarlett frowned and said with displeasure, "How annoying, I can't even see where she lives."

She stood up, closed the food container, and made a gesture to leave, but before she could take a step, she suddenly asked, "Where are her files stored? In the archives?"

Susanna didn't dare to speak, looking at her hesitantly, afraid that speaking would cause her trouble.

but.

Scarlett was looking at her and laughing, a twisted smile, her mouth wide open, revealing her teeth, as if she were about to devour her at any moment.

Scarlett has a bad reputation.

Susanna was unsure and dared not gamble on the possibility of something going wrong.

She was just an ordinary female, while Scarlett was a princess. Even if she really ate her, no one would speak up for her, and no one would care.

Susanna hesitated for a moment, then reached out and pointed to the file room behind her, saying, "Your Highness, the employees' basic files are all kept there."

Scarlett let out a long "Oh," her smile instantly returning to normal. She blinked, looking intently at Scarlett. "Do you have permission? Can you open it?"

Susanna nodded with difficulty. "Yes."

"Okay, open it."

……

……

The document room contains employees' resumes and basic information.

Separate those currently employed and those who have left the company, and arrange them alphabetically by the first letter of their names; they are not difficult to find.

Scarlett looked around and immediately found Christine's information.

It was packed in a special document bag with a seal on it.

Susanna, worried, followed Scarlett inside. Seeing her about to tear off the seal, she quickly stopped her, "Your Highness, please don't..."

With a "rip," the seal was torn off.

Susanna looked at Scarlett in despair, "Your Highness, this cannot be torn."

"why?"

Scarlett took out the documents inside and asked questions as she looked at them.

Susanna explained, "The seals were all affixed by the dean herself. She'll know once they're torn open."

Scarlett asked without looking up, "But how can I see what's inside if I don't tear it open?"

Susanna silently pulled out a small knife she had prepared. "I can make a cut on the other end."

Scarlett: “…”

I'm sorry, she acted impulsively.

There was an awkward silence for two seconds.

Scarlett patted Susanna on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll explain this to Hill and it won't be your fault."

Susanna gave a lifeless smile. "Thank you, Your Highness."

Seeing that Scarlett was looking at Christine's information and her expression was getting worse, she recalled what Scarlett had said yesterday. A bad feeling flashed through her mind. After hesitating for a moment, she mustered up her courage and said, "Your Highness, Christine is a good person."

Ok?
Scarlett paused, then turned to look at Susanna, her eyes filled with a meaningful look, as if she were curious, "What do you mean?"
