Chapter 104 Chief Justice
The question crossed everyone's mind and they were all stunned.
Sevilla was the first to answer: "No!"
He and Scarlett had already agreed that they would not divorce, not in their entire lives.
Chi Ye took a few deep breaths, suppressed his anger, and said impatiently, "I don't want to."
Riley looked at Dzeko, who hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Not for now."
He would make a decision after he found out why Scarlett was involved in the murder.
Riley looked at Holst again. Holst raised his eyebrows, remembering the three heart scales that had been plucked out and grown back. His smoky-gray pupils flickered, and after a long pause he said, "I don't want to."
After saying that, he asked Riley, "What about you?"
Riley laughed, "I don't want to either."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Everyone present was a little stunned.
Chi Ye reacted the most. "You don't want to? Don't you have a good relationship with Sophia? You were childhood sweethearts and almost got married. You have a lot of complaints against Scarlett about this. For your own selfish desires, you teamed up with us to force her to divorce."
Riley narrowed his eyes, "So the rumor about me started from you."
Chi Ye was stunned. "What do you mean by rumor? This is clearly the truth! How dare you say you don't like Sophia?"
"I never liked Sophia in the first place," Riley huffed.
"fart!"
Chi Ye became more and more excited as he spoke. "You transformed into a beast before, accepted Sophia's comfort, and humiliated Scarlett. And you still dare to say you don't like her! Don't you know what it means for a male to accept the comfort of a female?!"
Riley's forehead was bulging with veins at these words, the smile on his face gradually collapsed, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light, "I didn't..."
"Okay! Let's not talk about this for now. Scarlett is important. Let's put everything else aside."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Holst interrupted.
He didn't want to waste time on these meaningless quarrels.
We can argue later, Scarlett is important now.
Riley also realized his own gaffe, frowned, and stopped looking at Chiye.
He laid out the problem and said, "Before, we could unite our families to frame Scarlett, and now we can also unite our families to save Scarlett."
"Online public opinion can be the straw that breaks the camel's back, but it can also be the spark that saves Scarlett."
"What do you mean?" Dzeko asked.
Riley smiled and replied, "If it wasn't just Christine who died, the answer would be completely different."
Riley took out a few more screenshots to share with everyone.
There are seven bounty warrants.
Photos, name, age, and background are all included.
The reward content is very simple.
As long as you provide their current information, no matter what it is, and confirm it to be true, you will get one million star coins.
The bounty was posted for a day.
No one responded.
"What does this mean?"
Sevilla asked in confusion.
He didn't quite understand the meaning of these bounty warrants; they seemed to have nothing to do with Scarlett.
Holst saw the clue and asked, "Are these all from the 403 Research Institute?"
Riley nodded, "Exactly."
He ordered Sevilla, "Sevilla, withdraw the territory."
As soon as the territory was withdrawn, Lilia stood outside with dessert.
She also saw the seven wanted posters and said as she placed the desserts, "Your Highness asked me to issue these before he left. Originally, there was a wanted poster for Christine, but His Highness later removed it, leaving only these seven."
Riley understood what Scarlett meant. He continued Lilia's words, "This is the escape route Scarlett has left for herself, but it could become a dead end at any time. She's not just touching one person's cake, but a group of people's cake. That's why I'm asking if you really want a divorce. If not, we should stand with Scarlett and finish this together."
The importance of the 403 Institute to the Empire is self-evident.
But once Riley's words came out, the four of them didn't hesitate.
Holst said, "Although I don't know how Scarlett went from investigating one person to investigating a group of people, I do know a little bit about it. Her starting point was good, but she was a little too bold, and the effort was thankless. But she is the female host, so there is no other way. She has to sacrifice her life for the gentleman."
Saiweiya said: "I follow Scarlett unconditionally."
Chi Ye said: "Scarlett's business is my business. I can go and smash the 403 Research Institute right now and go to jail with Scarlett!"
Zheke rolled his eyes at Chiye's words and said calmly, "I will be responsible for the public opinion on Starnet."
In this way, everyone has expressed their attitude.
Riley breathed a sigh of relief and was about to continue when Lilia, who was standing next to him, suddenly exclaimed, "Ah!" She quickly flipped open her memo and said, "His Highness also said that he wanted to hire her the most expensive lawyer! He has to be the most expensive! And that he should visit her every day, bringing snacks and, ideally, toys, game consoles, or something. He's afraid she'll get bored in there."
"Also, Her Highness said to take better care of it and not be stingy with the money. She's afraid they'll treat her differently and make her life difficult in there."
"Of course, the most important thing is to clear her name and let her leave with a clear conscience. There must be no trace of her imprisonment in her file. She's worried that it will affect her chances of getting a civil service exam in the future."
Everyone: “…”
Riley coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment and asked Lilia with a smile, "Anything else?"
Lilia shook her head, "No more."
"Okay, I understand."
Speaking of lawyers, Riley thought of someone. He turned to look at Dzeko and asked, "I remember Brian was a lawyer on Kania?"
Dzeko understood and stood up and said, "I'll bring him back now."
One more person means one more helper.
Holst had the same idea, and he immediately stood up and said, "I'll go find Mo Ting."
He has a good relationship with Mo Ting. If he goes to find him, Mo Ting will come back.
The anger in Chiye's heart was calmed down, and his rationality gradually returned. He knew what he had to do without Riley's instructions.
"I'm going to prepare things for Scarlett, and I'll also follow up on the seven bounties."
The bounty order came from the dark web, and he knew how to operate it.
Most people had left, leaving only Sevilla and Riley.
Sevilla sat in the chair at a loss, looking left and right, not knowing what to do.
It seemed like there was nothing he could do for Scarlett.
He gave up his status as a prince and could not return to his home planet to ask the queen for help.
It is possible to ask the Queen Mother for money, but the Queen Mother said that I have to exchange it for something.
He changed the message last time, but this time, he didn't want to change it.
If he were discovered, he would be driven away.
He has no power on this planet.
He could only watch and could do nothing.
Sevilla looked at Riley helplessly, his brows furrowed, a glimmer of broken light in his eyes, and his blue eyes were wet, as if begging Riley to tell him what he could do.
He doesn't want to be a useless person who can't do anything.
Riley ruffled his hair like a gentle brother and said, "Flowers can lift people's moods. If you can bring Scarlett a bouquet of flowers when you visit her, she will definitely be very happy. Sylvia, since you like flowers so much, you must know how to take care of them, right? Can you prepare a few beautiful bouquets for Scarlett?"
Although interstellar flowers are cultivated using technology, they still need human care to grow more and more beautiful.
When Sevilla heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Okay!"
As for Ashley.
Riley thought about it.
Can't disturb him.
…
…
"It's unfair! Your Highness has been wronged!"
Scarlett lay on the bed, her arms behind her head, her legs crossed high, yawning and crying out for justice.
When you get tired of shouting, take a nap, and continue shouting when you wake up.
The light in the cell was still on. She didn't know how much time had passed. She missed the leisurely days in Hurda Palace and sighed silently.
"Your Highness, why are you sighing for no reason?"
At this moment, an elegant female voice came from the other side of the door, with a somewhat sarcastic tone.
This cell is special.
It seems airtight, but in fact every wall can be transformed into a door to let people in.
Scarlett was already used to it, and could even chat a little. "I am a princess of the empire, and I was wrongfully imprisoned. How can I not sigh?"
The person outside the door smiled and agreed, "That's indeed a cause for sighing."
Scarlett raised her eyebrows and sat up in bed, as if she had found a kindred spirit. She said happily, "You also think that His Highness was wronged?"
The man said, "I don't know. I don't know your Highness's character."
Scarlett patted her chest and said, "I am an absolutely good person."
"Yeah?"
The man laughed again, "If you are a good person, why would you end up in the courtroom?"
Scarlett laughed and said, "Look at what you said. Entering the courtroom doesn't mean I'm guilty. At most, I'm a criminal suspect. Only after 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 hearing that person's voice. Seeing that she was willing to chat with her, she couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? A cellmate?"
"Cellmate?"
The man denied it. "I'm not. I'm the Chief Justice."
The man walked into the prison, his smile as gentle as spring, beautiful and charming, "You are also Mo Ting's mother. Mo Ting asked me to come and see you."
