The Billionaire's Genius Wife



After a while passed,

"We can start now, Carter. I'm fine for three matches," Scarlett said calmly, still keeping eye contact with Xander.

'Goodness! Why is he flirting in this place?' she thought inwardly. She could feel her cheeks turning pink as she was captivated by Xander's seductive gaze and lips. However, the awareness of the many eyes watching them quickly snapped her back to reality, and she subtly shook her head, pushing away her sultry thoughts.

"Sister-in-law, are you sure?" Carter was taken aback. He had expected her to agree to just one match, but she had decided to accept his offer. He felt guilty and worried that his sister-in-law would be embarrassed if she lost three times.

'I should pretend to give up in the second round so she won't be too embarrassed, right?' Carter quietly mused to himself. Then, he began explaining the type of match he had chosen.

"I've chosen long-distance shooting using a sniper rifle," Carter said. He had opted for this challenge because he excelled at shooting from long distances and had even won a gold medal in this category. "And what about you, sis?" he asked.

"Blind shot!" Scarlett calmly replied.

"What!?" Carter nearly choked upon hearing her response. "S-sister, you mean shooting with our eyes covered?" His eyes widened in shock as he stared at Scarlett in disbelief.

"Hmm," a mischievous smile graced Scarlett's lips as she observed Carter's current state of shock. "Why? Are you scared, brother-in-law?" she playfully teased.

"Hahaha," forced laughter echoed through the room, "No, no... Of course not!" Carter swallowed hard, trying to hide his uneasiness. 

How could he admit defeat? He wouldn't, even though shooting blindfolded was his weakness. He had attempted it before and never hit the bullseye. In fact, even his more skilled colleagues hadn't been able to hit the bullseye either.

'Sister also can't hit the bullseye, right? She must be bluffing to scare me?' Carter tried to calm himself. 'Damn, sister-in-law! You are so cunning! You've successfully attacked my psychology! Focus Carter, focus!!' he talked inwardly.

Not only Carter looked shocked, but even the three guards in the room also gaped after hearing Scarlett choose blind shoot as the second match later. No one did that in this place; they had never seen Young Master Carter do that either. Now, they were all worried Carter would lose this time.

Meanwhile, although shocked to hear about Scarlett's choice, Xander believes his wife will not choose a match she thinks she can't. She must have picked it because she was good at it. He believes in her!

"Perfect!!" Scarlett said, then looked at Grandpa Riley. "Grandfather, about the last match, what did you choose?"

Like Carter and the others, Walter Riley was also shocked by Scarlett's choice, but he did not comment on it. He immediately said the match he chose. The simple ones shoot moving objects.

Without much delay, they all move to the underground shooting range, in the long-range shooting.

Scarlett, who had always maintained a relaxed demeanor with a constant smile, suddenly changed her expression as the guard placed the black sniper rifle bag on the table before her. Her eyes sharpened, fixating on the bag as she swiftly and skillfully opened it, assembling the rifle with speed and precision.

Meanwhile, Carter, positioned not far from Scarlett, prepared to assemble his rifle. However, when his gaze fell upon Scarlett, he gasped in surprise. It was the first time he had seen such intensity in her eyes, and her adept handling of the rifle made him momentarily believe he was observing an expert, a mentor.

'Damn it! What was I thinking!?' Carter cursed inwardly, quickly averting his gaze. He focused on assembling his rifle and assuming a ready-to-shoot position. He must not be distracted by the psychological tactics his sister-in-law used to break his focus.

"Young Master Carter, Ms. Riley," one of the officials addressed them. "Allow me to explain the rules of this long-range shooting match. A shooting range will be displayed on the screen, and you will have three shots within a time limit of 60 seconds. The winner will be determined by the highest number of points."

Carter and Scarlett nodded in understanding, and the official proceeded, "Get ready! On the count of three... One, two, three!"

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Scarlett locked her rifle and rose from her position. She calmly walked towards Xander, who stood behind her.

"Baby, you did an amazing job!" Xander beamed, pulling her into his arms, filled with pride that his wife shot with such confidence.

Scarlett wrapped her arm around Xander's waist and looked at his face. "Are you sure I will win?"

"Hmm! My wife is the best! You will definitely win," Xander replied lovingly, his smile filled with admiration.

"Damn it!" Carter, who hadn't even taken a shot, cursed in frustration. Once again, he had been distracted by his sister-in-law, who had already finished shooting while he hadn't even begun.

Bang!

ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm Bang!

Bang!

After Carter finished his shots, he quickly stood up and approached Scarlett and Xander. "Sister! Are you sure you hit your target? Why did you shoot so fast?" He couldn't believe she would manage to hit her target when they were only revealed after the count of three, ensuring they didn't pre-aim.

Still, in Xander's embrace, Scarlett looked at Carter with a faint smile. "I don't know, brother-in-law. Let's wait for the results to be announced," she replied calmly. Though the announcement hadn't been made, she believed she had won, considering Carter's shots were late. It was clear he would be the one to lose.

Meanwhile, in the control room, Walter Riley could only shake his head while chuckling at the numbers displayed on the monitor before him.

"Old Master," one of the officers in the room glanced at Walter Riley with astonishment, "...your granddaughter-in-law is truly a shooting prodigy. Three shots, all bullseyes! And she even fired them so swiftly. Did you have any idea she possessed such talent?"

Walter Riley looked at the man, a smile playing on his lips. "I, too, have just discovered the extent of Scarlett's remarkable talent. She surpasses even Carter!" He paused for a moment, reflecting on the competition. "Alright, let's step out and announce the winner!"
