The Billionaire's Genius Wife



They remained vigilant, aware that Scarlett could be in disguise, and her disguise had always been perfect. So, they needed to be careful in their search.

Alistar spoke hushedly, "Boss, it's proving difficult to locate the young madam. Everything appears to be normal, and nothing seems suspicious."

After several minutes of reviewing the CCTV footage, Alistar grew impatient to find out what had gone wrong at the party. When Xander did not respond to his inquiry, Alistar turned to face him and was surprised to see Xander's eyes fixed on one of the screens.

"Boss? Have you found anything?" Alistar curiously asked as he followed Xander's gaze toward the screen. "Damn! Is that Carter? What is he doing here?" he exclaimed in disbelief.

"His mother is related to Hills..." Xander said. 

Xander's surprise at seeing Carter at the party was overshadowed by his interest in the woman he was speaking to at the minibar. She was the same woman he had encountered outside earlier, and he found himself drawn to her from the moment he laid eyes on her.

Despite his instincts telling him that she was his wife, Xander was confused about why she would pretend not to know him if she was, in fact, Scarlett.

Feeling helpless and frustrated, Xander muttered, 'Babe, where are you?' 

He had been trying to contact her since arriving in the city but received no response to his messages or calls.

"Damn it! How could I forget?" Suddenly, Xander remembered something essential and turned to Alistar. "Have you found Dax Withers?" he asked. 

Xander knew they could identify the person who had approached him if they found Dax Withers. He predicted that Scarlett would meet Dax to retrieve his DNA sample.

"You're absolutely right, boss!" Alistar exclaimed, eagerly typing away to locate their target. Within moments, he had located Dax Withers in the smoking room. "I found him!" Alistar said triumphantly.

Xander glanced at Alistar's monitor and saw Dax Withers, the famous movie star, smoking in the corner. "Speed up the video," Xander ordered.

"Boss, someone's approaching him!" Alistar frowned, his eyes glued to the monitor. "Wait a minute... I think I've seen that old man before," he said, scratching his head in thought.

Xander didn't say anything. He already knew who the old man was.

Alistar's face lit up when he remembered that man, "Damn!! He's the old man who married the young woman we met outside," he said.

"Alistar, take a closer look at that old man. What did he do to Dax Withers?" Xander said. His heart tightened as he looked back at the woman sitting beside Carter. 

Alistar quickly replayed the tape and watched as the old man silently approached Dax Withers and touched his head as if he was picking something up. "What is he doing?" he raised his eyebrows, confused.

After looking at what that old man was doing to Dax Withers, Xander's mind raced with possibilities. What was the old man's connection to Dax Withers? And why did he need to touch his head? 

A moment later, Xander's facial expression changed as a faint smile appeared at the corners of his lips. He gazed at the monitor screen, his eyes lighting up with joy and relief.

'Baby! I found you...' Xander whispered to himself. He was 100% sure that the woman on the screen was his wife, Scarlett.

However, in the next moment, his face suddenly turned red as all the blood rushed to his face. 

'If that's Scarlett, why did she avoid me outside?' Xander thought, his confusion mounting. He couldn't understand the logic of the situation. 

He needed to get answers to his questions. He couldn't remain in the dark like this, or it would drive him crazy. He needed to talk to Scarlett and find out what was going on. 

Xander's eyes still stared intently at the monitor playing the CCTV footage without him noticing his hands clenched into fists. And to make matters worse, he could see his brother Carter flirting with his wife, wearing nothing but a smug grin on his face.

'Damn, you, Carter Riley! How dare you try to seduce my wife?' Xander scolded his brother inwardly, his frustration boiling over.

Taking a deep breath, Xander immediately stood up from his seat, his face radiating anger and annoyance. He couldn't stand the thought of his wife being objectified by his own brother.

Before he left the room, Xander instructed Alistar to erase any traces of the woman in the sexy dress and the old man. As well as locate the car they were driving. He was determined to find Scarlett and ensure she never escaped him again. 

As Xander stormed out of the control room, he bumped into Alex, who was waiting outside.

"You found what you were looking for?" asked Alex.

Xander nodded, silently seething with anger. "I didn't expect my brother Carter to be at this party."

"Why? Did you forget he's best friends with Axel?" replied Alex.

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ Xander rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a headache coming on. He needed to teach his foolish brother a lesson. "Let's go outside. I need to have a word with Carter."

Together, Alex and Xander made their way to the main hall. Although the wedding ceremony had ended, the family members were still gathering, taking pictures. Xander scanned the room, his eyes locking on Carter in the bar. 

'It's going to be a long night...' Xander sighed silently. Then he marched over to Carter. He shook his head in disbelief as he saw the numerous empty bottles scattered around Carter.

"Damn it, Carter! What the hell are you doing? Why are you heavily drunk like a hobo, huh? Have a little dignity when drinking, my friend!" exclaimed Alex as he caught up to them.

Xander sat beside his brother in the same chair Scarlett had occupied earlier. He motioned to the bartender for a glass of wine and turned to face Carter, who appeared asleep with his head resting on the bar counter.

He reached out and shook his brother's shoulder, rousing him from his drunken stupor. "Carter, wake up! We need to talk," he said sternly.

Carter groaned, his head throbbing from the alcohol. "What the fuck, Man!…. Why…What do you want to talk about?" he slurred while trying to open his eyes. As his eyes slowly adjusted to the light, he widened in surprise as he saw his older brother, Xander, sitting beside him.
