The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 228

Chapter 228 Why Lock It Up?

But soon, the leopard was surrounded.

Because it was too enthusiastic toward the visitors.

It wasn’t even satisfied rubbing against visitors through the tiger fence.

It ran outside to greet them up close.

At first, the visitors felt nervous. But they quickly saw it was smart and had zero intention of hurting

anyone.

Its whole vibe screamed, “Pet me now!”

The entire zoo was filled with laughter.

Even the keepers couldn’t stop it.

Everyone felt their trip was totally worth it.

Inside his enclosure, Grezeol stared blankly as the leopard interacted with the crowd.

The crowd that once gathered around him had run off to play with the leopard instead.

Forrest was also stunned when he learned the leopard’s placement had gone to Jyncrest Wildlife Zoo.

After checking who the main shareholder was, he knew he couldn’t compete with the Yarwoods.

He felt a little discouraged.

“Ms. Sanchez, are we really letting Jyncrest Wildlife Zoo take the leopard?”

He didn’t want to accept it.

Scarlett stayed calm. “Mr. Parkinson, don’t stress. Since the decision has been made, let’s accept it.

“They’ll come get the leopard themselves. It’s not our responsibility. We just focus on running our zoo

well.

“Oh, and the white fox is ready. I’m leaving this afternoon.”

She wasn’t worried about the leopard at all.

Even if another zoo won the spot, they still had to actually take the leopard away.

The usual method was simple–sedate it, then transport it.

But the leopard would never let them inject it so easily.

Forrest thought she meant they shouldn’t interfere.

He felt disappointed, but he stayed quiet.

She also said the white fox had been trained.

After Scarlett left, he went to check the fox enclosure.

There weren’t just “a few” visitors. There were none at all.

After all, the huge leopard was freely roaming around the zoo.

Everyone had gone to pet it.

The other animal areas were empty.

The white fox looked much cleaner and prettier than before..

Its white fur was sleek and smooth.

It was stretched out inside its enclosure, enjoying the sun.

He knew the fox was female.

The zoo had raised it for years.

Just as he was about to walk closer to take a better look and figure out what was different, the white fox glanced at him, turned around, and lay down again.

It even aimed its butt right at him.

What did that mean?

Forrest felt puzzled.

Why’s it acting more and more like Grezeol?

No way.

He still couldn’t spot anything special about the white fox.

It just had a strangely similar attitude to Grezeol.

Please don’t become another Grezeol!

He didn’t expect the Yarwoods would act that fast.

Not long after Forrest came back from the fox area, an employee told him that people from Jyncrest Wildlife Zoo had arrived to take the leopard away.

They wanted Maswein Forest Zoo to cooperate.

Forrest grumbled sourly, “All they do is swoop in and reap the benefits. Hmph.”

He was convinced the leopard’s friendliness toward people was all thanks to Scarlett.

And now Jyncrest Wildlife Zoo wanted to step in and reap the benefits. That was shameless.

But to everyone’s surprise, the team from Jyncrest Wildlife Zoo tried for two whole hours and still failed to catch it.

Whenever they got close, the leopard became alert and slipped away.

It was like it knew exactly who the normal visitors were and who came to capture it.

At first, visitors thought the staff was just playing with the leopard.

But then, something felt off.

Those people were holding tranquilizer guns.

Some curious visitors asked, “What are you doing? Are you going to sedate it and lock it up?”

“It doesn’t hurt anyone. It’s super friendly. Why cage it? Isn’t it great that people can interact with it? This is also a chance to learn about wild predators.”

Most people would never get close to a wild predator in their entire lives.

Being near a leopard felt exciting and new.

Parents could also bring their kids to learn about wild animals.

While visiting, they reminded their children how dangerous predators could be.

Not every wild animal was safe.

It was also a good way for kids to connect with nature.

Now that visitors thought the zoo planned to lock it up, some were clearly unhappy.

The tiger zone keeper quickly raised his voice and explained, “Please don’t misunderstand. They’re not our staff. They’re from Jyncrest Wildlife Zoo.

“The leopard is wild, and many zoos applied to take it in. Sadly, we didn’t get approved. The spot went to Jyncrest.

“They’re here today to sedate it and take it away.”

Only then did everyone understand.
