The Billionaire's Genius Wife

What Scarlett heard from her father, her mother looked unusual before she got into the car accident that took her life.

"A few days before the accident, my Mom had given my dad specific and special instructions for looking after me. And the same day she got into a car accident, my dad realized something. Mom had destroyed all traces of her in the house; no photos, personal belongings, documents related to her, none! As if they were burned with her in the car…."

Scarlett's voice sounded shaky as she held back tears. She had never cried in front of Rex, and she wouldn't do that now.

Rex was stunned but remained silent for this girl to finish her word.

"Weird, isn't it?"

"Hmm, very strange!"

"But, there's something even stranger. When I looked at my mother's death certificate and the autopsy report, it seemed that something was covered up in both reports..."

"You mean the report was falsified?" Rex became interested in hearing about her mother's case.

"Hmm... How could someone die without a trace? The car was burnt and left nothing, only ash. Can they do a DNA test with her ash?"

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom "Maybe you saw the report wrong. Maybe there are bone fragments left. Send it to me, and I will check it!"

But then Scarlett's memories rolled back as her mother was about to be buried. She can't see inside her Mom's coffin — Lana tells Scarlett that her mother is fatally injured, and her corpse is beyond recognition.

Now she is confused. Are there really any remains of her mother's bones or just ashes?

"So you need brother Ten to investigate your mother?" Rex's question made Scarlett flinch.

"Yeah! As you know, I can't use my ability!" Scarlett said helplessly.

"Understood! You can give me everything you have there. I'll pass it to Ten." said Rex.

"Oh, he's not coming?"

"Yeah! Did you forget? He can't enter this country while you're here." There are only 2 hackers in the core team and they can't be in the same place for security reasons — this is the silent rule at The Fox.

"Ah, you're right!"

"Prepare the document. I will come to your place!"

Scarlett's eyes lit up at his words, "So you will come to my house? Really?" Yesterday she forced him to come with Grandpa Patrick, but he refused.

"Yes! Just because of this, I will come. But, I beg you, try not to show your PDA before me!" Rex said and ended the call without giving Scarlett time to say anything.

For the first time, Scarlett wasn't annoyed when Rex ended the call like that. She was happy that Rex would visit her house and meet her father.

Actually, this wasn't the first time Rex had met Scarlett's father, as Rex and his father used to come to see Jonathan Piers for legal papers the first time Scarlett was about to move to the US.

Scarlett prepared all the information about her mother and put it in a brown envelope.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

After finishing preparing some documents, she felt tired and sleepy.

...

Scarlett woke up when she heard a knock on the door.

When Scarlett saw that it was 5 pm, she gasped as she realized she had taken quite a nap.

"Enter!" She said while sitting on the edge of the bed. But, the door was not opened. It made her frown looking at the door.

"Did I hear wrong?" Scarlett was confused. "Did I dream?"

She stood up from the bed and opened the door, only to confirm that she had heard wrong. However, when the door opened, her eyes widened when Xander appeared in her line of sight.

"X-Xander..." Scarlett smiled happily to see him. She thought he would arrive at 6 pm later. But apparently, he came earlier.

"Did you oversleep?" Xander asked as he entered her bedroom. Before arriving at this house, he had sent several text messages to Scarlett, which this girl had not read, let alone replied to. So he assumed his wife was taking a nap.

"Hahaha... yeah!! And I forgot to set the alarm," Scarlett said as she closed the bedroom door and followed Xander to sit on the edge of the bed. Still, before she sat down properly, she could feel Xander's hand touching her waist.

She looked at him in surprise as she landed sitting on his lap.  Even though they have been married for a long time, she still gets nervous whenever Xander shows sudden affection.

Xander leaned closer to her face and said, "Good girl!! You need to rest more because I will tire you out tonight..." His hand gently stroking her back made her heart beat more irregularly.

Scarlett can feel all her blood rushing to her face. She blushed at how seductive Xander was now.

When her eyes met his gentle blue eyes, she became awkward. For some reason, she forgot what to say. But when she saw Xander's face getting closer to hers, it hit her — she immediately pulled her head away from him.

"W-Why did you come so early? I thought you'd come before dinner..." She tried to distract him from kissing her. Afraid, this man won't hold back his urge to make love — like he used to.

They can't do it here. Someone might hear them because the room is not soundproof. Scarlett fears Lana or Adams will come to this floor.

"That's because I miss my wife so much! So, there's no reason to delay coming here, right?"

With warm eyes, Xander cast a lingering gaze over her face before giving her a light kiss on the lips — he didn't give her a chance to speak.

Scarlett's fair cheeks were flushed, and those shining eyes stared unwaveringly at Xander's perfect face. She does forget what to say — this man never fails to bewitch her.

Then, Xander pinched her cheek gently before saying. "Babe, get your clothes and hair done now. We have to get downstairs, or Grandpa will overwhelm your father. You know my grandpa likes to talk, right?"

At this moment, Scarlett remembered Grandpa Riley. How could she let them meet for the first time without her introducing them?

Now, she felt so disrespectful to Grandpa Riley!

Without waiting, she rushed into the bathroom.
