Scarlett truly couldnât figure out what Chi Enenâs identity might be.
If she were someone with status and position, the top socialites from Country W were only a handful, and Scarlett knew them all.
As for the top socialites from other countries, she had met most of them too, but she had absolutely no impression of Chi Enen. She was certain Chi Enen was not among those she had encountered.
If she wasnât a top socialite, then where did that woman get the nerve to dare lay hands on her?
Scarlett had never suffered such a loss since childhood, and not only did she have to take it lying down, but she also had no outlet for her frustration. That kind of stifling anger was simply unbearable.
She irritably furrowed her brows, then relaxed them, only to furrow them again. Finally, she took a deep breath to calm herself down, looked at the female officers beside her, and ordered, âGo and help me find out who that person who âaccidentallyâ tripped me just now is!â
The emphasis she placed on the word âaccidentallyâ was especially heavyâher anger was unmistakable to anyone who heard her.
The two female officers exchanged anxious glances, fearing she would cause trouble.
But they dared not disobey her, so they were forced to respond stiffly, âYour Highness, this is the Li family. If we go probing their guest, it might not be appropriate, right?â
Scarlettâs beautiful almond eyes tilted upward as she cast them a glance and replied directly, âWhatâs inappropriate about it? Itâs you who couldnât bear to see me tripped and decided on your own to deal with that person. So how could it be strange if you wanted to find out that personâs name, identity, and relationship with the Li family?â
She spoke so naturally, as if thatâs exactly how things had happened.
The two female officers looked at the noble and innocent young maiden sitting on the sofa, and a chill crawled up their backs. Even though their hearts were filled with reluctance, they could only resign themselves and say, âYes, we understand.â
Scarlett swept her beautiful eyes over them, and a warning gleamed in her gaze, âItâs not about understanding. You need to remember! Itâs you who wants to know, not me! I know absolutely nothing, and youâre doing this behind my back.â
The two female officers fully grasped her meaning and replied, âYes, weâll remember.â
Because Scarlett had suffered a major setback, her ugly expression finally eased a little. She stretched her arms out, and the cold air that previously filled her demeanor vanished completely, replaced by her usual innocent and pure appearanceâa dreamy, lovesick girl. She turned to those around her and asked, âWhat do you think I should give to Beijue as a greeting gift?â
She seemed preoccupied with melancholy and murmured, âI only know he enjoys collecting red wine, but he doesnât like the red wine I give him.â
None of the female officers dared reply.
Scarlett paid no attention to their silence and continued to muse aloud, âI remember we still have that bottle of collection-level red wine at home. Do you think Brother Beijue would like that one?â
One of the female officers couldnât help but remind her, âPrincess, that bottle belongs to the Princess Consort.â
Scarlettâs pupils suddenly darkened, a glint of loathing flashing across them! But she forcibly suppressed it and didnât mention the red wine again, instead resuming her deliberations, âSo what do you think I should give? Besides red wine, what else can I gift?â
âThisâ¦â The two female officers exchanged glances, the helplessness in their eyes unmistakable.
To be honest, ever since meeting Young Master Li this morning, it was clear from his attitude toward the Princess that he wasnât interested in her at all.
Or rather, it could be said that he didnât even see the Princess as worth noticing.
On top of that, they had long heard the rumors outside claiming that Young Master Li already had someone he liked. Judging by the situation, it didnât matter what gift the Princess chose to give, Young Master Li wouldnât be pleasedâbecause what he didnât like wasnât the gift itself, but the Princess as a person!
