Chapter 271: Was someone playing with the kitty?

Scarlet did not trust Emory Wu in the least bit which is why the brown cat was the one sent to spy on her, not the white one. 

It followed her as she changed her clothes and listened to her as she attempted to question the maids covertly. 

"Why is this animal following me around?" She asked one of the maids. 

"The cats are always curious when new people show up around the castle, maybe it likes you." the maid answered. 

"Mmm," Emory eyed the cat warily, and said nothing else. But she could have sworn that the cat looked at her with contempt when the maid claimed that it liked her. 

"I don't want it in my room anymore, get rid of it." Emory ordered the maid. 

"I can't do that, we are under strict instructions by the governor not to touch any of her pets without her say so unless they happen to be in danger or have met with an injury."
