They’d booked a hotel for dinner that evening, planning to unwind with karaoke later.

Scarlett had only spent two months in the lab, while the others had devoted two or three years and truly deserved a break.

Everyone just wanted to share a meal and let their worries fade for a night.

Leslie grinned and said, “Everything’s set. Let’s go.”

The two of them headed straight for the hotel.

A spacious private dining room had already been reserved.

Everyone else was already waiting inside.

Scarlett was by far the youngest at the table.

A handful of other twenty–somethings were there–students of Leslie.

There were more than ten people altogether.

Several were in their thirties or forties, seasoned researchers.

They’d all worked together for years, though Scarlett was a relative newcomer.

Yet everyone had grown genuinely fond of her.

Dinner was loud, joyful, and full of laughter.

When the meal ended, they made their way to one of Jyncrest City’s most renowned entertainment complexes for karaoke.

They’d reserved a large private suite, ready to sing and celebrate.

The KTV was on the twelfth floor.

The entire building was a sprawling palace of entertainment.

It offered everything: karaoke, bars, a hotel, spa, massage, beauty salons, and more.

They took the elevator up, walked into the twelfth–floor lobby, and checked in with the attendant.

A staff member led them toward their suite, but along the way, they crossed paths with another

Leading that party was a striking woman and a tall, powerfully built foreign man.

The woman had immaculate makeup, vivid features, and a sharp bob haircut. The foreign man at her side looked like an athlete, towering and broad–shouldered. Several others followed; two were foreign, short and nondescript, their eyes sharp and constantly scanning the surroundings.

They were clearly bodyguards.

Three more had local features and the wary posture of professionals.

As the foreign man spoke with the woman, he suddenly caught sight of Scarlett.

He stared, clearly taken aback by her appearance, unable to look away.

Scarlett was dressed simply in a white down jacket and casual pants, her hair in a high ponytail, her skin almost luminous, her beauty both vivid and gentle.

Her bold features somehow made her seem approachable, almost soft.

gave the foreign man a brief, appraising glance, then took in the glamorous woman beside him.

It was obvious from their demeanor that the others were bodyguards.

Scarlett recognized the foreign man immediately.

She never forgot a face, even one glimpsed for a moment on the news.

His name was Eustace Lynn, heir to an automotive dynasty. Not only did his family own a world–class car brand, they led the field in smart vehicles and cutting–edge automotive AI.

Media reports had already covered their advances in AI–driven cars.

Many nations were vying for a partnership with the Lynn family on artificial intelligence vehicles.

Scarlett also recognized the dazzling woman.

She’d never met her in this life.

But in the last year of her previous life, she remembered seeing the woman on the news.

This woman was destined to inherit the Yarwoods.

The story had been about her winning the Lynn family’s Al vehicle agency for Dragoria.

The Yarwoods was one of Jyncrest City’s most powerful houses.

Back when Scarlett ran her own zoo in Maswein, there’d been a wild leopard named Greziel that kept sneaking in to drink water she’d laced with spiritual essence, charming visitors and becoming an internet sensation.

Because Greziel was technically wild, it never left the zoo.

Eventually, officials decided all the zoos should compete for Greziel’s residency rights.

The Yarwoods won those rights first.

But whenever they sent people, Greziel would vanish.

In the end, public opinion forced the Yarwoods to give up on Greziel.

For such a vast business empire, a celebrity animal hardly seemed worth the trouble.

So, this was Scarlett’s first time meeting the future head of the Yarwoods in person.

Just as they were about to brush past each other, Eustace suddenly reached out to grab Scarlett’s

arm.

He was standing so close he could have touched her in an instant.

But Scarlett reacted with uncanny quickness, as if she had eyes in the back of her head.
