The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Chapter 425  Revenge (1)

"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Kang," Xander said sincerely.

Xander felt a sense of gratitude towards Daniel. It was Daniel who had called for a helicopter to transport Carter to the hospital, ultimately saving his life. The doctor had informed Xander that if they had arrived even a few minutes later, Carter may not have survived.

Daniel Kang grinned playfully and shook Xander's hand. "Mr. Riley, it was nothing, really. I am just doing my duty as a friend and rescuer. Well, your wife is my friend. She is one tough lady to deal with, so I can't refuse if she asks me anything..." He said in a lighthearted tone, teasing Scarlett good-naturedly.

Scarlett blushed slightly at Daniel's remark but couldn't help but smile. Then she quickly glances at Seven before gazing at Xander again.

"Xander, this one is Allen. He's my best friend. Before I met you, I spent most of my time with him on missions. So, he's like my brother... Ugh, no, no... He's like my bodyguard," she chuckled.

Seven, "..."

"Hi, Seven..." Xander offered Seven a handshake with a smile. "Thank you for looking after my wife. I really appreciate that, man."

Seven was taken aback by Xander's words, but he still accepted his handshake. "H-How... Do you know my codename? Did Scarlett tell you about it?"

"Code name?" Xander was momentarily confused but then recalled what Scarlett had warned him about. "No, Scarlett didn't tell me anything about you. But, actually, I knew she was a member of Fox through you. I already had your personal profile before I married her..."

Instantly the room became quiet. Not only was Seven shocked by Xander's words but Rex and Daniel were also shocked.

Seven glanced at Scarlett, "You have to do something about my profile, Scarlett."

Scarlett nodded.

"Alright, I'll take my leave now. See you tomorrow!" she said and pulled Xander to leave the room. Not wanting to linger in that place any longer, she needed to prepare something for tomorrow, her revenge plan.

The next day, Scarlett wakes up, and the first thing she does is text Noah Withers. She tells him that she'll come to his place in the evening and also informs him that she'll be moving him to a safe location for his own safety.

Throughout the day, she doesn't go anywhere but keeps herself busy, ensuring that all the preparations are perfect.

At five in the afternoon, just before sunset, Scarlett was ready, dressed in a black turtleneck and black jeans. She covered her outfit with a gray coat and white sneakers to create a relaxed impression when visiting her uncle.

As Scarlett came out of the room, Xander was surprised to see her. "Wow, you look different again with this new wig, baby..." Xander couldn't help but compliment his wife as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "But you must wear a bulletproof vest!" he said with concern.

"I already have it under my clothes," she smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry, Xander, everything will go smoothly. That evil Jude Withers still doesn't know that I already know his plan!"

Xander sighed deeply before saying, "...Alright, that's perfect. Let's go now." Xander led her downstairs. "Baby, I hope you'll let me follow you inside," he tried to convince her once more.

Scarlett glanced at him while walking toward the front yard, where the car she would use was already waiting.

Before she entered the car, she answered him, "Xander, if you follow me inside, Jude might read your expression. You don't have to worry, I will be fine. There's Seven, who will be my personal assistant, and Rex will be my driver. They will make sure I'm safe."

"But..." Scarlett placed her finger on his lips to stop him from speaking.

"Hubby, you will join Alex's team as planned," She smiled to reassure her worried husband. "Ok, I have to go now, or this plan will fail if I arrive late..."

Xander didn't say a word. He just nodded and kissed her on the lips one more time before letting her into the black SUV. The car sped away as soon as Scarlett entered.

...

"Tsk! Why does Xander still look so tense? We already know their weaknesses. Why is he still so worried?" Sitting behind the wheel, Rex glanced at Scarlett, who was anxiously watching Xander. "And little sister, can you focus!? Check your weapon and everything Nine provided you in that black box."

Scarlett let out a low chuckle when she saw how annoyed Rex was. She didn't answer him but immediately opened the black box beside her.

Inside, she found two small guns with different colors; silver and black. After checking the bullets inside the guns, she discreetly hides them under her coat. She also wore earbuds that matched her skin color, specially designed to make them invisible. Then, she took out some small syringes and concealed them all under her coat.

With everything in place, she glanced at Rex, who was now calmly driving the car. She didn't bother talking to him; instead, she looked at Seven, sitting casually in the passenger seat.

Seven looked dashing in his black suit, his outfit style exactly like Logan, who usually accompanied her as her personal assistant. Scarlett deliberately didn't bring Logan this time because she knew he wasn't strong enough. She preferred Seven, her long-time partner; they understood each other with just a glance.

After almost an hour, they were getting closer to their destination. Scarlett's calm and composed demeanor slowly turned into tension, but she was still confident that the mission would go smoothly.

Suddenly, Rex's voice broke the silence in the car. "Scarlett, listen! If things don't go according to your plan, send a signal immediately."

She looked at him and nodded. "I will," she said.

"And if you don't come out in 30 minutes or give me a light signal, I will enter the house!" Rex continued.

"Everything will be alright, brother. You don't have to worry too much..." Scarlett tried to reassure him.
