Chapter 90: It is indeed something from the Huldah Palace. Is there any more? (Additional chapters for monthly tickets)
At eight o'clock in the evening, Scarlett's stomach was rumbling with hunger, and she finally waited until Ashley came out of the laboratory.
She rushed to him and asked angrily, "Why are you so late?"
Ashley was a little stunned, "Why are you still here?"
Scarlett said, "Wait until you get off work."
"What are you waiting for me to do?" Ashley was puzzled.
Scarlett rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm worried you won't come home."
Ashley frowned, "I'll be back."
He promised Scarlett that he would do it.
In fact, Ashley was very confused. If Scarlett wanted to investigate Christine's affairs, she could just come to the institute. Why did she ask him to go back to Huldah Palace every day?
What does it matter whether he goes back or not?
"Okay, let's stop talking about this. I'm hungry, let's go home and eat."
Scarlett didn't bother talking nonsense and pulled Ashley's hand and walked out.
After they left.
The three females hiding in the experimental room also came out one after another.
"Have Ashley and Scarlett made peace?" a short-haired female asked.
"Who knows." Another curly-haired female shrugged indifferently.
The short-haired female sighed, "It's such a pity for Christine. They can make up after a big fight, but Christine can't come back."
"Let's go, let's stop talking about this. If the dean finds out, we'll be in big trouble."
The curly-haired female urged the short-haired female to go back to the dormitory.
The short-haired female nodded and looked at the silent black-haired female beside her. Seeing that her eyes were always looking in the direction Ashley left, she bumped her shoulder and warned, "Go quickly! Don't even think about it. Do you want to die?"
The black-haired female glanced at her sideways, the corner of her mouth twitched, and she said coldly: "I'm not afraid."
…
…
Return to Huldah Palace.
Scarlett was the first to have a hearty meal.
After the meal, she recovered 80% of her energy and called Lilia to help her with something.
Then she went to Gra's room and learned about the operation mode of bounty hunters. She was in a good mood and arranged a new room for Gra.
In the same hallway as Ashley.
The next day, she even brought him to the dinner table.
Sylvia came to breakfast happily, but when she saw Gra, her eyes widened and she yelled, "Scarlett! What's wrong with him?"
Scarlett smiled awkwardly and said nonchalantly, "That's it."
Sylvia narrowed his eyes, approached her, and asked through gritted teeth, "What do you mean by that?"
Scarlett chuckled, feeling not only guilty but also lacking confidence. "Just like what you see, we are having breakfast."
This sentence, no matter how much it was explained, was as good as no explanation. Sylvia became even angrier. Knowing that Scarlett was just trying to fool him, he flipped the plate in front of Gra and said, "Eat! I want you to eat!"
"And you!"
Then he wanted to overturn Scarlett's plate and accuse her of lying to him, but looking at Scarlett's face, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He just glared at her to release his anger and stormed back to the room.
Riley and Holst then arrived at the restaurant.
Seeing the mess on the table, he sat down at his seat without saying a word.
Chiye went to the imperial court for duty today.
Scarlett escaped a disaster, otherwise, according to Chi Ye's temper, the whole dining table would have been overturned.
She instructed Lilia to prepare another breakfast for Gra, and patted the back of his hand to comfort him, "Don't take it to heart, it will be fine in the future."
after?
Gra smiled and looked up at Scarlett.
Scarlett looked away and turned to look at Riley, "Riley, it's a beautiful day today."
Riley nodded, "Yes, Your Highness."
…
…
Today, Scarlett went to the research institute again.
As usual, he went around asking for news about Christine under the pretext of visiting Ashley.
Her actions were a little crazy, but her behavior was not out of line. She was just asking questions and didn't cause any damage. She was just a little annoying and overwhelmed everyone.
Even if the top management of the institute wanted to report to the imperial court, they could not find an excuse.
You can't just say "Your Highness is too annoying, please take him away, Your Majesty."
I can only let myself go my own way.
Even so.
Scarlett still got nothing.
Everyone said the same thing, that Christine had resigned and had no contact since then.
Not getting an answer, Scarlett had to go to Susanna and wanted to check the file room again.
She knocked on the door of the dean's office.
Hill looked at her with a smile, "Your Highness."
"Where's Susannah?" Scarlett asked.
Hill said, "Susanna's parents had an accident in their hometown. She went back home and may not be back until next month."
Scarlett raised an eyebrow, "What a coincidence?"
"Yeah, it was so sudden, I wasn't prepared."
Hill flipped through the pile of documents in front of him, revealing a helpless expression. "Now I have to deal with all of this myself. It's giving me a headache just thinking about it."
Scarlett smiled coldly, "It's not that difficult, just burn it with fire."
Hill groaned, seeming to be embarrassed by the suggestion, but then looked at Scarlett seriously, his eyes piercing, "Your Highness, are you going to take action?"
Scarlett knew.
You can't do it yourself.
Once you take action, you will lose your permission to come here.
It's annoying to be provoked.
But she didn't show any fear. Instead, she smiled happily. "How could I do that? I'm here to visit Ashley. As his mistress, I must support his career. Besides, the research done by the institute is for the empire and the people. There's no reason to burn it, right? Unless it's something shameful that can't be shown to the public."
Hill nodded and said in agreement, "Your Highness is right. Everything the Institute does is for the Empire. There is nothing shameful. Naturally, every document must be treated seriously and burned. How can it be so easily destroyed?"
Scarlett curved her eyes and said, "Okay, Ashley should rest. I'll go find him for dinner so I don't disturb the dean from his work."
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."
Hill stood up and bowed to Scarlett, a gentle smile on his face, full of respect.
But this smile didn't last long. Scarlett turned around and suddenly changed her expression. Her brows were filled with a bit of sharpness. She suddenly asked, "Your Highness, are you really looking for Christine just to punish her?"
Scarlett turned around, her brows equally sharp. "Why? You want to plead for her?"
…
…
When it was time for dinner, Ashley didn't rest. There was a small problem with the experiment he was doing and he needed to repeat it, so he let Scarlett eat first.
Scarlett was indeed hungry, so she ignored him and ate alone.
She did not go to the lounge arranged by the dean, but ate directly in the lounge in Laboratory No. 27, thinking about what Hill said.
Halfway through the meal.
Suddenly, a shiny four-grid plate appeared across the dining table.
There were two meat dishes and one vegetable dish on the plate. It didn't look very good and looked like leftover food.
Scarlett was about to look up to see who it was when a pair of chopsticks reached out to her and took the meat from her bowl.
Scarlett was stunned and stayed there for a long while before looking up.
The other man was also looking at her, his eyes motionless, chewing meat in his mouth, his eyes provocative and with a hint of contempt, "It tastes good, worthy of being from the Herda Palace. Do you have any more?"
