The Billionaire's Genius Wife



Observing Scarlett's cold expression, Theodor couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. He glanced at Xander, "I do have feelings for a certain woman, but unfortunately, she is already married to you, my friend!" However, the well-crafted words twisted in his throat, leaving him unable to utter them. Damn!

"Hahaha... Come on, man, are you messing with me?" Theodor forced a laugh, attempting to alleviate the awkwardness that filled the room. "Since when did I have a girlfriend? No, there's no woman in my life because the woman I cared for is now happily married to someone else..."

A shadow fell over Scarlett's face as she shot Theodor a piercing glare, silently warning him, "Speak another word, and you're dead."

Theodor pressed his lips tightly together, swallowing hard to moisten his dry throat, looking at how scary Scarlett's face was at this moment. 

"Ugh, man... the woman who called me earlier is my boss! I had forgotten to fulfill a task for her, which is why she scolded me." Theodor said. 

'Theodor, are you seriously calling me 'Boss' now?' Scarlett scolded Theodor silently in her mind, feeling defeated by his foolishness. She ignored their conversation and focused on satisfying her hungry stomach with the delicious steak.

"Your boss?" Xander's surprise was evident in his voice. "When did you start working for someone else? Why do you need to work when you come from a wealthy family?" he asked.

"Well, my friend, despite being rich, it's not my personal wealth but rather my family's," Theodor chuckled. "So, I need to work to earn my own money," he explained, hoping Xander would drop the subject.

"I see," Xander nodded, though still unable to fully comprehend why an arrogant man like Theodor would choose to work for someone else and refer to them as his boss. It was a concept he had never imagined before.

Theodor felt a sense of relief when he realized that Xander wouldn't press him further about his boss. He scolded himself internally for talking too much and potentially revealing too many details. He could feel the icy glare from Scarlett, a clear indication that she was displeased with his response to Xander.

Silently scolding himself, Theodor tried to focus on his dinner. Just as he was about to bring a slice of meat to his mouth, his hand froze in mid-air upon hearing Xander's words.

"Theo," Xander placed his cutlery on the plate and rested his chin on his hand. His gaze locked onto Theodor's, and he spoke calmly and deliberately. "If you ever need my help, please let me know. I can provide you with financial assistance or even offer you a business opportunity where you can be your own boss. You do not need to subject yourself to the servitude of others..."

Theodor was rendered speechless. He swallowed hard, his eyes darting between Xander and Scarlett, who also appeared surprised by Xander's words.

"Don't hesitate, Theo! I consider you my brother," Xander smiled warmly, attempting to ease Theodor's discomfort. "In the past, you've been helping me establish my company in Country M, and now it's my turn to repay the favor and assist you..." His voice carried sincerity.

"X-Xander," Theodor's voice wavered with a sense of defeat, "I will give it some thought, my man. And thank you..." His response was brief as his mind struggled to process the weight of those words.

"Absolutely, my friend! Take your time to consider it," Xander sincerely smiled at Theodor. "I genuinely want to help. Don't dwell on it too much. You know where to find me, Theo..." he said before resuming his dinner.

Theodor just slowly nodded as he said to himself, 'If only you knew who my boss was. Maybe you wouldn't even be able to say a word!'

Before long, the dinner came to an end.

...

They all gathered in the living room, and Scarlett noticed that it had a distinct design compared to the other rooms. It exuded a modern and cozy ambiance, reminiscent of her apartment in the RAS building in Astington. She sat beside Xander, listening silently to their conversation. After a few minutes, her interest waned, and she found herself distracted, glancing at her cell phone.

A smile formed on her face as she observed the lively chat group for The Fox core team members on their secure app.

[Seven] I'm free tonight. Is anyone up for joining me at the Empire!? Let's drink until morning!

[Six] I happen to be in town.

ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm [Six] Who are you drinking with?

[Nine] He's drinking with me. Join us, Six, and don't forget to bring your beautiful friends.

[Six] (LOL Icon) (Fire Icon) Uncle Nine, I thought you were in Seattle. What are you doing here?

[Nine] My little sister needs my help, so I came to this city...

[Six] Ouch! Is little sister in town? Three, are you online? Let's meet up! (Love Icon)

Scarlett felt tempted to join them. She missed her big sister, Six, who they rarely had the chance to see due to her busy schedule as a Hollywood movie star. 

Despite her status as a movie star, Six possessed versatile abilities. Her connections worldwide were not to be underestimated, and her social skills surpassed even Rex's. Her innocent and elegant appearance was merely a facade, as she was far more ruthless than Seven when it came to carrying out missions.

Scarlett had learned so much from Six, particularly in martial arts and the art of disguise. Being a gifted artist, Six found it effortless to transform her appearance.

[Three] Sis Six, sorry, but I have to leave for Astington tomorrow morning and have dinner with a friend tonight. You guys have fun without me! (smile icon)

[Six] How sad! Alright, I'll try to find time to visit you in Astington.

[Three] It would be perfect, sis!

[Two] Count me in, Seven!

[Six] Seven, on my way to the Empire!! (Waving Icon)

After reading the chat between Rex and Six, Scarlett couldn't help but smile, secretly hoping that Rex and Six would end up together. She know that big sis Six had feelings for Rex, but her clueless brother remained oblivious.

'Goodness! Looks like I need to play cupid!' Scarlett wondered silently, a mischievous smile forming on her face as she contemplated matchmaking Rex and Casey Adams.
