The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Rex's words were like thunder in Scarlett's ears.

'X-Xander...'

Rex laughed secretly at Scarlett's panicked face. This girl, being too naive, left her husband and went after the criminal alone. Is she impatient to reveal her identity as a member of The Fox!?

"What should I do about my husband!?" Scarlett immediately took out her cell phone. She called Xander right away. But Xander still didn't pick up his phone after she tried twice.

Scarlett's face looks increasingly worried.

Her worries were confirmed. Xander must be mad at her; it's past midnight, and she's still in the middle of the forest instead of sleeping with him!

"Xander, please, please pick up! Why? Why did you not pick up your phone? Did you get mad at me?" Scarlett muttered as she tried to call Xander a few times. Her mind was a complete mess because this was new to her. She forgot she was newly married when she eliminated that band of criminals. And now, she couldn't think straight.

"Chill!!" Rex was amused at how cute her panicked face was right now. He wanted to tease her, but he held back, seeing how sad her eyes were now.

Scarlett's sharp gaze made Rex frown, he said, "What? Just say what you want to say!! Why are you looking at me like that?" He stepped back, worried that this girl might do something to him.

"Should I tell Xander about my identity? Tell him everything would be easier than continuing to cover this up…."

"Hell no!! Don't you dare!" Instantly Rex's face changed from cheerful to gloomy and now to displease.

"Why can't I be honest with him? Xander is a person who can keep secrets. I believe you know that! He would never reveal my identity to others. So, there's nothing wrong with telling him, right?" Her eyes glowed with a determined look.

Rex crossed his arms over his chest, shaking his head slowly. For some reason, his tongue became numb seeing the look in her eyes.

"I won't say I'm a member of The Fox, don't worry! I'll tell him I know how to use a gun and am very skillful in kicking the ass of any bad guys!" Scarlett said seriously. But, little did she know Xander was already aware that she was a martial arts expert.

A frown appeared on Rex's face, and for a while, he seemed to be thinking about something deeply. After some time, he said, "It seems you haven't dug into Xander's personal profile yet?"

Seeing this girl's frown made Rex chuckle, "No. You can't tell him. It will be complicated if that guy discovers your identity as Three!"

"What do you mean?" Scarlett asks in confusion.

"You need to check Xander Riley's personal profile, and you will have your answer." Rex shook his head. "But I'm unsure if you have enough skill to dig up his secret! There is more to your husband than what you already know."

He's lucky to get to know Xander first, so he knows what others don't.

Scarlett was stunned. Despite being curious after hearing Rex's words, her principles would never waver.

"Brother Rex! You know something about my husband that I don't, do you? You must tell me what it is. You know I would never hack my way to get my family and loved ones' secrets, right!? So if you don't tell me, I will never know."

This is her principle as a professional hacker. She would never hack into her family members unless they did something evil to her.

"That is your choice! I don't care. But you will never hear what it is from me." Rex said.

"Oh, come on. My dear brother, can you tell me…. please? If you won't tell me, at least allow me to tell my husband about my hidden skills." Scarlett begged while tugging at his coat. Trying to act like a little sister begging her big brother. But, of course, this man didn't fall into her honey trap. Geez!

"Three, darling, listen. As your team leader, I forbid you to tell your husband about your hidden skills! Not only will you be in trouble, but so will the entire organization. Okay, I will say no more about that. And you will do so too." His eyes flickered with intense emotion.

No words left her mouth as she was shocked by what she had heard. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Somehow she felt angry at herself for nearly endangering the organization.

'Who is Xander, really? Why is The Fox even afraid of him?' Her mind was now filled with questions like these. It made her want to dig up information about Xander! Even though it will break her principle.

Amidst her confusion, Scarlett faintly heard Rex say, "As for what happened in this place, leave it to me. I'll take care of it. But I need your help to distract him with your spell! He'll definitely be bewitched and follow your words..." Then he almost laughed, thinking of his plan to teach Xander, his ex-friend, an excellent lesson.

Scarlett opened her eyes and looked at Rex.

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ "How are you going to handle it? Share with me so what we say is the same and not make him suspicious."

Just before Rex wanted to say something, he saw the light coming from the street. Several cars are approaching.

He touched the black device that stuck to his ear like an earpods.

"Who?" He said softly. After hearing the report from the other end, a smirk appeared on his lip's corner.

"Brother Rex!?" She was confused to see Rex ignore her.

"Scarlett, you can seduce him now!" Rex glanced at Scarlett and smiled.

"Seduce? Him? Who are you talking about?" She still didn't realize that a car had stopped before the gate.

"Hey! Focus. Who else would I talk about? Your husband, of course! You can tell him that you are following the suspect in the murder case to this place. And that they nearly capture you. Luckily, I was coming to rescue you…."

"Huh!?" She is still clueless.
