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

Chapter 169 My advice: Get rid of her as soon as possible.
Harrison sat on the sofa, looking slightly nervous under the scrutinizing gazes of the crowd, his fingers constantly rubbing his trouser leg.
Brian deliberately filled a worn-out bowl with sweet soup and shoved it roughly in front of Harrison, saying, "Drink it."
Harrison accepted it with both hands. "Thank you."
Without a spoon, he could only drink from the rim of the bowl, but the rim was full of chips, so there was nowhere to drink.
Harrison hesitated for a few seconds.
Ashley said quietly, "What's wrong? My sweet soup doesn't suit your taste?"
Harrison gave an awkward smile. "No, no."
He managed to find a relatively smooth spot, took a sip of the sweet soup, and exclaimed, "Delicious!"
"If it tastes good, drink more." Chi Ye stared at his face, his voice piercing through the gaps in his teeth.
Harrison wasn't sure if it was because the soup was too hot or the living room was too cramped, but sweat was pouring down his forehead and his breathing was slightly labored.
Whenever he lowered his head to drink his sweet soup, the gazes around him were always sharp and sweeping, making him feel like he had thorns in his back.
I finally finished a bowl of sweet soup.
Brian poured him another bowl, muttering to himself, emphasizing each word, "Drink up, drink up, there's more in the pot if you're not full."
Harrison: "..."
He didn't come here for soup.
Scarlett noticed Harrison's embarrassment and took the initiative to ask, "Harrison, did you come to see me because you need something?"
Harrison breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put down his bowl. "Well, something's up. Great-Grandpa was worried you wouldn't know the way to the theater, so he asked me to come pick you up."
Scarlett knew why without him having to spell it out.
Perfect timing, she also wanted to visit the Ya'an Theatre.
Upon hearing that Scarlett was going out with Harrison...
Chi Ye was the first to step forward, "I'll go too."
Others were also eager to try.
Scarlett glanced at everyone, her gaze sweeping over the crowd to Tyron, but she hesitated a bit when it came to how to address him.
Tyron stepped forward and said, "Mistress, I'll go with you."
Scarlett smiled and said, "Okay."
……
……
Renton Street.
The rooftop of the Ya'an Theatre.
Murgard met with Scarlett privately.
He held a pipe in his hand, took a puff, exhaled a smoke ring, and looked through the smoke at Scarlett. "Where's the stuff?"
Scarlett chuckled awkwardly, "No."
Murgard narrowed his eyes. "Nothing?"
He took a knife from the drawer and threw it on the desk. "You may not know my rules. People who dare to lie to me usually don't have a good ending. Are you going to do it yourself, or should I do it myself? I'll give you a choice because you're young."
Scarlett held up three fingers. "I choose the third one."
"The third one?"
Murdoch never expected Scarlett to dare to bargain with him. His eyes grew increasingly sharp, and he wished he could tear her apart immediately.
Scarlett ignored Murgard's gaze, took a step forward, and respectfully handed over the ore she had mined that day.
A thumb-sized, deep blue lapis lazuli, without cracks, with a fine and flawless texture.
A bright blue glint flashed in Murgard's eyes, and the ferocity in them vanished in shock, replaced by endless greed.
Blue was an extremely rare color in this era, more precious than gold, and only the nobility possessed it, making it an incredibly luxurious color.
Scarlett, despite her small size, is worth at least a thousand gold pieces.
Mergard carefully took it in his hand, holding it firmly in his palm. "This, how did you get this ore?"
His voice trembled, though he tried his best to suppress it, it still betrayed him.
Scarlett said, "I dreamed about it."
"Dreaming?" Mergard remained stunned.
Scarlett explained, “Ever since I turned eighteen, I’ve had different dreams every night. Sometimes it’s about aliens, and sometimes it’s about an empty lot. If I dream about aliens, I can make a deal with them. If I dream about an empty lot, I just need to find a place and dig there to find ore.”
Scarlett pointed to the lapis lazuli, "I didn't dream about aliens yesterday, I only dreamed about this."
Scarlett opened her eyes and asked, "Mr. Murgard, you won't blame me, will you?"
"No, no."
Murgard quickly put the lapis lazuli into the drawer, his movements swift and efficient, not at all like someone in their seventies.
"That's good."
Scarlett nodded with relief, but her eyes were fixed on the desk drawer. "Um, Mr. Murgard, I've heard that ore is very valuable. Do you know how much this one is worth?"
"About 100,000 star coins," Mergard casually quoted a number.
"That……"
Scarlett rubbed her fingers together with anticipation in her eyes.
Murgard narrowed his eyes, took out 120,000 star coins from the safe, and tossed them to Scarlett. "Consider the extra your reward." "Thank you, Mr. Murgard!"
Scarlett's eyes widened instantly as she looked at the money in her arms, and she couldn't wait to sit down and start counting it.
Looking at her money-grubbing appearance, Murgard's eyes flashed with disdain. He sneered twice and said, "Scarlett, from now on you will be an employee of the Yaanna Theater. I will pay you 20,000 star coins every month. You can sell me anything you have. If the items are good, I will give you a raise."
Upon hearing this, Scarlett stopped counting the money and rushed to the desk, her face flushed with excitement. "Really?"
Mergard gave a curt "hmm," displaying an unapproachable air.
“But, Mr. Murgard, if I have to mine ore, I won’t be able to come to work on time. Will you deduct my wages?” Scarlett asked, expressing her concern.
Murgard glanced at her. "No. You just need to come here every day to check in. Whether you work or not is up to you, and you'll still get paid."
……
……
Scarlett, holding the work pass personally signed by Mergard and hanging it around her neck, strolled back and forth in the Yaranna Theater with an air of arrogance, much like a nouveau riche flaunting her wealth.
She wanted to explore every floor and every room. If she encountered bodyguards who tried to stop her, she would brandish her work badge and arrogantly declare, "See this? I'm Mr. Murgard's special assistant. Special assistant, you know? That means I'm the highest-ranking person besides Mr. Murgard! If you don't let me in, I'll fire you!"
Seeing that the work pass didn't seem fake, the bodyguard called Mergard to be on the safe side.
Upon hearing this, Murgard chuckled twice, looking down on Scarlett even more. At the same time, he was glad that she was that kind of person and ordered his bodyguards to let her through.
hang up the phone.
Murgard looked at Louisa, who had come out of the secret room, took out three files, and handed them to her. "Officer Louisa, these are the recent missing persons. Please take care of them."
Louisa took the file, glanced at it, and casually asked, "Mergard, who was the person you were talking to just now?"
Mergard glanced at him. "An insignificant person."
"Oh, is it so?"
Louisa closed the file. "Her name is Scarlett, right?"
Mergard's eyebrows twitched, but he did not answer.
Louisa smiled and said, "She's dangerous. She's from somewhere else, just like me. If you don't want the people behind you to run into trouble, my advice is to get rid of her as soon as possible!"
……
……
Scarlett wandered around the Yaanna Theater.
Finally, we wandered around the backyard area.
There are several large dogs there, which look a lot like Tibetan Mastiffs in terms of size and ferocity.
Scarlett was afraid of dogs, so she turned and left.
The bodyguard behind her tilted his head and watched her back until she disappeared.
The bodyguard called Murgard, "Mr. Murgard, she's gone."
"Didn't you go into the backyard?" Mergard asked.
The bodyguard replied, "She runs away whenever she sees a dog; she seems very afraid of dogs."
After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, Mergard said, "Continue to send people to follow them."
The bodyguard looked at the unconscious male in his arms and asked, "Should we feed this guy to the dogs?"
Originally, they planned to throw this man into the backyard in front of Scarlett and let him be devoured by the Tibetan mastiffs to see Scarlett's reaction.
If Scarlett calls the police or does something else...
She and her beastly husband will definitely not survive tonight.
But she left without stopping.
This left the bodyguard unsure of what to do.
"I won't feed it to the dogs," Murgard said coldly. "You can eat it yourselves if you want."
The bodyguards were horrified and immediately threw the still-living male into the backyard.
……
……
Scarlett strolled around the Yaanna Theater with an air of superiority, having had her fill of fun, and seeing that it was getting late.
She greeted Harrison and prepared to take Tyron back.
Harrison offered to take her.
Scarlett did not refuse.
This saved me some money.
arrive home.
A crowd gathered around.
Their eyes were narrowed, and they all had questions to ask.
Scarlett quickly raised her hand, "I've made a discovery, let's get down to business first!"
