The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Scarlett was in awe of the awe-inspiring sight that unfolded before her eyes. She and Rex stood by the glass wall while Xander chatted with the elders in the seating area.

'So, this is the beautiful beach that Nine told me  about what Rex promised him!?' Scarlett suddenly fell in love with this beach too. '...no wonder Crazy Doc was willing to leave his lab. This place is indeed pretty!'

After satisfying her eyes with the natural beauty before her, Scarlett glanced at Rex standing beside her.

"Since when did Morrison own property on the island?" She had never heard of this.

"Well, Grandpa had this property a long time ago." He chuckled when he saw her roll her eyes. "I'm serious here, little missy! But, this place was renovated a few years ago, so it looks brand new..."

Scarlett was surprised to hear that. She asks, "Brother, don't tell me you found me because your family has some ties to this island?"

Rex turned to face her, "Little sister, has your sharp memory stopped working recently!?" He frowned before continuing his words, "Damn!! You really don't remember, huh?!!" He shook his head while turning his gaze to the sea again.

"Remember what?" Scarlett was getting more and more confused.

"I know that you've hacked into my parents' company. How could I not be interested in you?" There was sadness in his tone when he said that, but Scarlett didn't notice it.

She gasped in surprise at the memory. Indeed, after she managed to break into their firewall system, it wasn't long before someone contacted her and offered her a scholarship.

At that time, she refused. But Rex's father came to see her on the island along with Rex and persuaded her to accept the offer because they knew she was talented and wanted to help her to grow.

"Ever since we knew you, my father asked someone to build this house. So, you could say this villa exists because of you!"

A bitter smile appeared on Rex's lips. But only momentarily because he didn't want Scarlett to know how terrible he was right now — remembering his parents' plans to marry them off. And, of course, it had also been his dream from the first time he saw her.

Confused by Rex's words, Scarlett turned to look at him. "W-Why because of me?"

Rex was about to say the reason but suddenly stopped when he felt someone looking at him intently from behind. He could guess who did it, his ex-friend!

He simply took a deep breath to calm his nerves and silently cursed at Xander — The one who messed up all his plans.

'Dear God! Is this the punishment you're giving me for ruining that bastard relationship with his fiancé in the past!?' Rex couldn't help but question God for all these trials!

"Brothers, Rex!?" Scarlett was even more confused when Rex didn't reply to her but flinched when she met his glare. "Why are you suddenly putting that expression on you? You looked like you wanted to kill me with your glare."

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom "There's something more important you should know!" Rex's serious tone was enough to make Scarlett tense up.

"Uh-huh? Okay. Then please enlighten me. Your weird attitude makes me even more confused!"

This time Rex put aside the anger deep in his heart. He said, "Listen, like I said last night, they found your location. I just found out their flight will land in this country pretty soon. But, I don't know where exactly they will land..."

Scarlett was stunned.

"What exactly are you doing? How could they find your location so quickly?" His eyebrows lifted slightly, confused about why the enemy had caught up to her this fast. Even though they had covered her existence neatly.

Scarlett ignored Rex's question, her mind trying to guess who was approaching her. Even though she could already think who he might be. She wanted to confirm, "Which one?"

Rex looked at her before saying with a calm expression but there was a glint of worry flashing through his eyes, "The man from country M!"

Instantly Scarlett's shoulders slumped. She knows it!! Only that man could make Rex worry like this.

"How come they have a hacker as good as me? Who's behind him this time?" Scarlett was too confused to understand someone finding her so quickly. Even though she only used her ability twice in a short time and covered her tracks after that.

Rex smiled when he saw how worried her expression was.

"Chill, sis! As long as I'm here, he will never touch you. But never go out with your real future because that guy knows the real you. So, you better keep up your appearance like this and ensure not too many people see you without your disguise. Do you understand?"

Scarlett felt her heart tighten as she realized that she had been reckless in the last few months. For instance, she has appeared more than once undisguised before Xander's staff. Can they be trusted to keep those secrets?

Is this the time she should be honest with Xander? About why she always wears a wig?

She sighed deeply, feeling lost!

"Sis, can you hear me?" Rex snapped his fingers right in Scarlett's face, making her flinch. "Shit! Did you really appear undisguised while living in this country?"

Scarlett opened her mouth several times, but no words left her lips. She was utterly speechless.

"Don't say when you married him, you didn't use..." Rex couldn't finish his words. He was furious.

While he painstakingly covered her tracks, this girl was so relaxed that she appeared in public without any disguise. Damn!

"Hmm... However, I made sure no one could see the document." She said it even though she was worried that someone would break into the shield she installed at the civil registry office.

"Scarlett Piers, has anyone ever said you are one stupid assassin!?" Rex couldn't help but scold her even though his heart hurt to do that. But her safety was the only thing that mattered to him.

Scarlett, "..."
