The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222 A Tiger in Thought

[Did I see that right? They’re more expensive than major international brands. That’s ridiculous. Is this store trying to rob people?]

II checked out the shop too. The prices are real. And someone actually bought the products and left a positive review. That review is hilarious. It’s obviously fake.]

[I almost had a heart attack seeing a domestic medicated skincare brand like this pop up.]

[Can brands just take things step by step? Why are they trying to get rich overnight?]

[Stupid store. Only an idiot would buy this. I’ve had acne forever. I’ve tried both modern medicine and traditional remedies. The results were never great. I don’t believe medicated skincare can cure acne. I’m definitely not buying it. We can’t encourage brands that try to skip the process and cash in fast.]

Unexpectedly, RampartFox’s tweet made it onto a minor trending topic.

Even though it ranked near the bottom of the trending list, plenty of users piled on with criticism.

Scarlett had no idea that her store, along with Eva’s single five–star review, had already stirred up a storm on Twitter.

Many people were mocking it.

It rained for two days straight. The soft sound of rain tapping outside the villa felt comforting. Scarlett did not go out at all during those two days. She stayed home and focused intensely on her cultivation.

That simple bottleneck still refused to break.

Scarlett did not force it. By Wednesday, the weather had cleared up. After lunch, she went out.

In the afternoon, she went to the DMV to take her written knowledge test for her driver’s license.

She had already registered online and paid the fee a couple of days earlier while she was at home.

That day, she took the written knowledge test.

The parking test and road test would have to wait.

For now, she could not buy a car.

So she bought a high–speed rail ticket to Maswein.

The high–speed rail was fast. It only took half an hour to reach the neighboring city of Maswein

Her destination was Maswein Forest Zoo.

By the time Scarlett arrived, it was already five in the afternoon.

There were still plenty of visitors at the zoo.

12:11 pm

She wore a mask, and no one recognized her.

But the Monkey King at the entrance recognized her right away.

He ran over and chattered excitedly at her.

Even on his square little monkey face, she could see the excitement.

Scarlett could tell that Monkey King was much more spirited than before and noticeably smarter.

He seemed to have developed real awareness.

He probably drank from the pond inside Grezeol’s enclosure often.

Finished

The monkeys around the entrance, including the Monkey King, all looked rounder and healthier than before. It was obvious they were not worried about food anymore.

The bucket near the entrance was filled with food. There were bread, fruits, nuts, and snacks.

Scarlett had been following the zoo’s updates online.

The monkeys and Grezeol were very popular with visitors. Tourists often took photos with them, interacted with them, and posted the pictures online. They even made it onto trending topics from time to time.

Because of that, more and more people had learned about Maswein Forest Zoo.

The zoo’s visitor numbers had been steadily increasing.

Scarlett patted the Monkey King and then went to check on Grezeol.

There were still quite a few visitors near his enclosure.

But he had already finished his interactions for the day. After engaging with three lucky visitors, he no longer felt like moving.

Grezeol had grown smarter as well. He knew that after interacting with three lucky guests, his work for the day was basically done. He usually went to lie down by the pond, turning his back to the visitors.

No matter how loudly they called his name, he barely responded.

A couple of days carlier, Forrest had messaged Scarlett.

“Ms. Sanchez, why has Grezeol been so indifferent every day? This won’t affect anything, will it?”

He was worried that Grezeol’s aloof behavior might make visitors unhappy and cause them to lose interest.

Scarlett had replied, “Every animal has its own personality. It’s fine. Aren’t the visitors still fond of him?”

And they were. Visitors had not shown any dissatisfaction because of Grezeol’s indifference.

In fact, more and more people came specifically to see him.

Finished

Just like now.

Grezcol was lying by the pond, ignoring the crowd calling his name from outside the fence.

He seemed uninterested, almost as if he were lost in thought.

Scarlett felt something was slightly off about him.

He lay by the water, but his gaze was fixed on the distant forest beyond the enclosure.

There was something contemplative, almost melancholy, in his posture.
