The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Scarlett was jolted awake when she heard a loud knock on her bedroom door, feeling as if she had been pulled out of a dark and murky lake — too immersed in her mother's secret.

She stumbled towards the door and pulled it open to find Logan standing on the other side. Scarlett could tell this man was anxious about something by the look in his eyes.

"Logan?" Scarlett asked in a firm voice but with a slightly confused tone. "Did you know that anyone looking at you right now can tell you're under pressure? Tell me what happened?"

"Ma'am, your lunch is ready," Logan said quickly.

At the same time Scarlett's stomach was growling, she realized that she hadn't eaten anything since arriving at the hotel. She glanced at her watch and was surprised to see that lunchtime had significantly passed. Now it's closer to dinner than lunchtime.

Sigh!

"I completely forgot lunch," She said softly.

Logan's expression shifted to one of worry. "Ma'am, you have to have lunch, or Master Xander will punish me..." he trailed off, his eyes downcast.

Scarlett sympathizes with Logan and doesn't want this innocent Logan to get into trouble because of her negligence. She said, "Sure, Logan. Thanks for reminding me," She walked towards the dining room. "Don't worry. I won't let Xander punish you for this."

The dining room was filled with delicious dishes when Scarlett entered. She couldn't resist the temptation and quickly pulled up a chair to start her late lunch. Immediately, Logan excused himself from the room, but Scarlett stopped him as he was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, Logan," Scarlett said. "I've changed my mind. Please tell James that we won't be going to the village. I already have the information I need. And let's make arrangements to return to the capital this evening."

Scarlett already got what she wanted. Mikayla Davies isn't her mother, and there's no point in prolonging her stay in this city.

Logan looked at Scarlett, slightly taken aback by her sudden change of plans. "Are you sure about this, Ma'am?" he asked.

He knew Scarlett had come to this town to find her mother's family. However, why did she suddenly change her mind?

Scarlett nodded, her mind made up. She didn't want to tell Logan about her finding.

"Very well, Ma'am," he said with a nod. "I'll make the necessary arrangements for our departure." He said and left the room.

As Logan left the room, Scarlett exhaled deeply, feeling a sense of relief flood over her.

It was time to move forward and find out the truth about her mother's real name. She knew it wouldn't be easy, and she couldn't use her ability to uncover information made the task all the more challenging.

However, Scarlett was determined to try, no matter what the cost.

"Father!?" Suddenly Scarlett's mind wanders to the identity of her father and her desire to uncover the mystery behind the sudden disappearance of her mother from her father's life.

Scarlett's curiosity was insatiable, and she couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to the story than she knew.

She couldn't finish her breakfast, her mind was distracted by thoughts of her parents. She stood up from the table and returned to her room.

"Why does my life have to be so complicated?" Scarlett muttered to herself as she walked towards the bedroom, "Why am I always chasing after the truth, never able to find an answer?"

Scarlett knows that her search for the truth is a part of who she is, and she won't be able to rest until she finds all the secrets that have been kept from her. Determined, Scarlett will continue her search, hoping that one day she will find the answers she seeks.

...

In just a few minutes, Scarlett had gathered her things and was ready to head back to the capital to meet her husband. She knew she couldn't stay in this city for long, as her pursuers were still on her trail and could show up anytime.

As she packed her bags, an idea formed in her mind. She needed to throw her pursuers off her trail by making them believe she was still in the city. Perhaps she could use this to her advantage and find out if the man searching for her had come to this town.

If she had the chance, she would have killed him first, even though Rex said the man was no match for her. But she never knew until she tried, right?

At the coffee shop near the R Hotel,

Scarlett sat by the glass window at a table, giving her a clear view of the cafe's entrance. She observed meticulously, looking out for any sign, obvious or subtle, of her pursuers. A steaming cup of coffee and a slice of cheesecake she hadn't touched were on the table before her.

Across from her, Logan sat tensely, looking like a man on trial. Scarlett was growing weary of his rigid demeanor and wished he would relax.

"Logan, for the hundredth time, you need to relax. You're making us look suspicious," she scolded, feeling regretful for involving him in her plans to fake their relationship.

"But ma'am, what if..." Logan started to say before Scarlett interrupted him sharply.

"Stop! Don't say anything. Just sit here and enjoy your coffee," she snapped, feeling defeated by his stubbornness.

Scarlett leaned back in her chair, sipping her coffee and gazing out the window. She knew that time was running out and that she had to act quickly to avoid being caught. Logan's tension only added to her anxiety, and she silently hoped they could carry out their plan without any mishaps.

The plan is easy, but Logan's attitude gives her a headache.

There were two things she needed to know urgently. First, she needed to find out if the man chasing her had come to the city. Secondly, she wanted to discover the identity of the hacker who was able to track her down so easily. She would know what to do next if she could find out who the hacker was.
