Chapter 20: Debt Collection with Courtesy Before Force
A magnificent reception room.
Princess Anne sat on a red velvet sofa, holding a cup of hot chocolate in her hand. The rising hot mist covered her eyes and eyebrows. She blew away the hot mist and took a sip.
It tastes good.
Just as I was about to take another sip, Scarlett arrived.
She put down the hot chocolate, sat up straight, raised her small chin, and had a slightly arrogant expression.
She is here to collect a debt, so she can be a little arrogant.
"What brings you here today, cousin?"
Scarlett walked into the living room, stroked the hem of her skirt, and sat on the sofa diagonally opposite Anne, with a smile in the corner of her eyes. Her fair face was bright and gentle, and when she saw it, Anne's raised chin was slightly restrained.
Annie curled her lips and said, "I came to see you."
Scarlett said "Oh", raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked very aggressive, "Just looking at me?"
Annie felt a little guilty when she looked at her. Her right eyelid twitched and her brows furrowed slightly. "Yes."
Lilia served Scarlett a cup of milk tea.
Scarlett picked up the milk tea, took a sip along the rim of the cup, and said nonchalantly: "I thought you came to see Sevilla."
Annie's heart trembled, and her momentum weakened a little. "Why should I look for him?"
"Isn't he your brother-in-law?" Scarlett asked with a smile.
“…”
Anne choked and became even weaker.
Those who ask for debts are all grandsons, so she endures it!
Annie closed her eyes and forced an explanation: "I have hundreds of brothers-in-law, but you are my only cousin. She must have come to see you."
In addition to her cousin Scarlett, Anne has three other cousins, each of whom has more than a hundred bestial men.
Brother-in-law is just a verbal title to her and is definitely not as important as sister.
Even if this sister is Scarlett.
Scarlett knew Anne's intentions and didn't plan to tease her for too long. Seeing that she didn't mean what she said, she smiled and said, "Okay, since you're so thoughtful, I'll reimburse you for yesterday's bill."
Five million is not a small amount of money, and Scarlett has no intention of taking advantage of it.
As soon as the words fell.
So I transferred five million.
The moment the transfer voice sounded.
Annie was stunned.
Her big eyes stared at Scarlett, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses. Her pretty face still had a bit of stupidity on it. She added in a daze, "He said he would pay me back double."
It's not that she's pushing her luck.
She really didn't react.
Sevilla, who was hiding aside, heard Anne say, "He said he would pay me back double," and his eyes went dark and his heart rose to his throat.
I dare not even admit my mistakes.
He even shrank back inside, fearing that he would be discovered.
When Scarlett heard "double", she slowly raised her eyelids and met Anne's clear eyes.
A light bulb went off in my head, and I understood the meaning of the ten million.
The light in his eyes cracked.
Anne saw that Scarlett looked unhappy and thought she was questioning him.
In order to prove that she was not lying, she turned on the light brain and played her memory.
Is Scarlett watching?
No.
She is still heartbroken.
That’s ten million.
It just passed through her account and couldn't stay.
I feel sad and cold in my heart.
Scarlett let out a long breath and glanced at her account balance.
It’s a nine-digit number, and it still starts with 7, so I finally get some comfort.
She gritted her teeth, opened Annie's account, and transferred another five million.
This time Annie was not confused, but shocked!
no.
Scarlett is so easy to talk to today!!!
Happiness comes too suddenly.
She even thought Scarlett was crazy.
A quick glance at Scarlett.
She was still as beautiful as ever, but the vicious look in her eyes that didn't care about people's lives was gone.
This relaxed Anne's tense nerves a lot.
She tried to calm her chaotic thoughts and regain her princess composure. "Scarlett, I deserve the extra five million. Of course, I didn't get it for nothing."
She pulled out a golden pearl from her bag, placed it on the coffee table, raised her chin, and said, "You're going to participate in the resource competition, right? This pearl can save your life. I'm giving it to you."
Originally, she wanted to use this pearl to "use courtesy first and then force."
Now Scarlett took the initiative to return her money, making her preparations useless, but she was not a cheap person. In exchange, she still gave Scarlett the pearl that she had bought for five million on the dark web.
Can a pearl save your life?
So magical?
Scarlett picked up the pearl, which was the size of a baby's fist, curiously. It was no different from an ordinary pearl, except that it was a little bigger.
Scarlett looked up and was about to ask how the pearl could save her life.
What he saw was Annie's back as she ran away.
Scarlett: “…”
Cousin, are you feeling guilty?
Scarlett laughed and shook her head helplessly. She put away her pearls and stood up. Turning around, she saw Sylvia coming out from the corner with red eyes and a timid expression. "S, Scarlett..."
"You, you."
Scarlett walked towards Sylvia.
Before she could get close, Sevilla fell to his knees with a plop and said, "I'm sorry."
Scarlett: “…”
Is she some kind of monster?
On second thought.
According to the original owner's previous behavioral logic, she is probably more terrifying than a flood or a beast in Sevilla's eyes.
No wonder Sevilla knelt down.
Scarlett was silent for a moment, not wanting the man she had finally conquered to return to his original position. She helped Sevilla up, poked his forehead with her fingertips, and said angrily, "You, you, don't be so generous in the future. I can't afford to pay back the money I borrowed double."
Sylvia was stunned for a moment, and the tears that were about to fall were retracted. She said in surprise: "Scarlett, you are not angry?"
"I'm angry."
Scarlett wrinkled her nose. "Five million will be deducted from your living expenses! Ten thousand per month, no, twenty thousand."
Sylvia opened her eyes wide, "Only deduct living expenses?"
Scarlett glanced at him sideways, "Why? You don't want to?"
"Yes, yes, I do." Sevilla nodded hurriedly.
I just hope Scarlett isn’t angry, and I can deduct your living expenses as you like.
"Okay, let's go and eat. I'm not full yet."
Scarlett took his arm and walked towards the restaurant.

[Love value +50000]
Kind little mermaid~
very nice.
…
…
The little episode of paying back the money is over.
Scarlett's plan to go to the Lost Continent is being arranged in full swing.
She transferred one million to Chiye and asked him to prepare supplies and medicines, all of which must be of the best quality, as she didn't want to make any mistakes.
Among them, Chiye was the only one who had been to the Lost Continent the most times, so he knew best what was needed.
Chi Ye received the money and looked up at her. His eyes were still the same, sharp and prickly, but the prickles were obviously less.
This is a good start.
Riley and Dzeko, it is rumored online that they are dead.
Scarlett took them out for a walk and bought some daily necessities and clothes.
Of course, most of them were bought by Scarlett for herself, and they were just there as a sideshow.
Riley was very cooperative. He did whatever Scarlett said. He even stopped to be interviewed by reporters to explain the reason for his disappearance, which calmed down a lot of speculation for Scarlett.
As expected of a congressman, he tells lies without hesitation, and Scarlett likes it.
Dzeko was cold throughout, with a pair of affectionate eyes, but the words he said were so choking that they could kill you.
For example, Scarlett bought him clothes at the shopping mall and asked a few interstellar reporters to secretly capture the sweet moment.
But Dzeko, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said, "Do you think I'm a kid like Sevilla? Just buy me two nice clothes and you'll lead me around by the nose. I'm telling you, don't waste your time!"
It almost made her smile break.
Scarlett resisted the urge to roll her eyes, kept smiling, and said through gritted teeth, "Major Zheke, you mean to buy four beautiful dresses? Okay, okay, I'll buy them for you right away."
She took Zheke's hand and walked into the clothing store, avoiding the camera.
He rolled his eyes contentedly.
Thanks to Scarlett's efforts, StarNet's reputation has improved, and the Queen has sent her warm greetings.
Recalling the Queen's majestic demeanor that day, Scarlett responded carefully, and at the end she even mentioned that she was going to participate in the resource competition.
When the Queen heard this, a hint of warm approval finally appeared in her cold words.
[Queen: Scarlett, you have grown up, and I am very pleased.]
Then the style of painting suddenly changed.
[Queen: Now that you've grown up, you and your beastly husbands should consummate your marriages as soon as possible and improve your mental strength. Otherwise, I don't recommend you participate in the resource competition, as you could easily die.]
Scarlett: “…”
Sincerely, dear mother, warm regards.
Scarlett felt like she had something stuck in her throat, so she made up an excuse to end the conversation.
actually.
Scarlett proposed the resource competition to the Queen in the hope that she would give her some life-saving props.
She looked up the pearls Annie gave her that day on the Internet, and they were actually useful.
Crushing it can block a fatal attack.
It also lets her know that props exist in this world, just like in games.
However, most of these props are bound, and a small number of them are not circulated on the market and are only available on the dark web.
The dark web is extremely mysterious, and Scarlett cannot find any relevant information.
It doesn't matter, she knows who to find.
Scarlett opened Anne's chat box.
[Scarlett: Annie, are you there? Are you making money?]
When baby Annie saw Scarlett's private message, she felt a chill down her spine and wanted to say she was not there.
But when she saw the words "making money", she couldn't help but replied "yes".
