The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Chapter 418  Suprised!

Muttering curses towards Rex under his breath, Theodor made his way back to the seating area. However, he found Roland was not there; he was sitting at his desk, engaged in a phone conversation.

A few minutes later, Roland finally joined Theodor.

"So, did you find more information about why she flew to X?" asked Roland as soon as he sat across from Theodor.

"I'm sorry, Uncle," Theodor replied, shaking his head. "Xander Riley, Scarlett's husband, had his cell phone off. Nevertheless, I've texted him asking about that, and I'll let you know as soon as I get a reply from him," he said regretfully.

Although Roland was disappointed, he couldn't blame Theodor. Moreover, he already had a plan for what to do next. He smiled at Theodor and said, "It's fine. I'll try to find out about it later..."

"Oh right, Uncle, if I'm not mistaken, one of the influential figures in country X is Simon's brother's best friend, right?" Theodor suddenly remembered Andrew William, his cousin's friend.

"Yes, Andrew William is your brother's best friend, but he isn't the person I would ask for help. However, his wife might be able to assist. Her name is Mel Tanner. She is..." Roland's voice trailed off, unable to openly disclose that Mel was the one who helped their country develop a robust cyber defense; Mel had connections with a powerful hacker in the world, code-named Queen.

"I see," Theodor nodded. He also knew Mel Tanner, as she was Maggie's best friend. When Mel and Andrew married in country X, Maggie attended their wedding and vacationed there for almost a month. "I hope Ms. Mel Tanner can help you, Uncle..."

"I hope so!" Roland nodded. He believed Mel could assist him further in investigating Scarlett Piers and locating Rosalie Withers.

After four years of searching, Roland recently heard that Mel found her missing mother.

If Rosalie was still alive, Roland was confident they would find her. Just as Mel found her long-lost mother.

For some reason, the knowledge that Rosalie was still alive kindled a desire within his heart to live longer in this world. He wanted to get healthy. He needed to find her because their story was not finished yet!

X Country.

The jet plane landed smoothly in the early morning. The air was still chilly, but the snow had vanished, signaling an early spring in City J, the capital of Country X.

"I can't believe I'm back in this city so soon!" Scarlett whispered to herself as she gazed at the empty private airport, where only a few jets were parked in the distance.

The serene blue sky that greeted her helped to ease some of her tension. She felt more at ease now, knowing that she would definitely succeed in saving her uncle Noah. All she had to do was wait for her uncle to send his new coordinates so she could find him.

Scarlett was confident; this time, she would bring down Jude Withers! She refused to let that evil man continue to wreak havoc and torture her mother and herself and also her uncle Noah. That devil Jude wouldn't live in peace while she suffered; she was going to make sure he faced the hell he deserved!

Scarlett waited for the cabin crew to prepare the stairs while watching the scenery outside the window. Her gaze fixed on the black Maybach, followed by two black SUV Range Rovers, which slowly came to a stop not far from their jet.

She hadn't made arrangements for someone to pick them up. Before leaving M Country, she had only made arrangements for the jet and asked Logan to set up a place for them to stay.

She wanted to ask Fox to pick her up and arrange accommodation, but Logan was unaware of her involvement with them; only Xander knew. And she had no intention of telling Logan anytime soon.

Glancing at Logan, standing in front of the stairs, she asked, "Did you arrange for someone to pick us up?"

"Yes, ma'am. I asked them to pick us up and also prepare the Villa," Logan replied politely.

"Oh, so we won't stay at Riley's hotel?" Scarlett was surprised. She had assumed they would stay there, just like before.

"No. Master Xander asked me to arrange a villa. He said that if we stay at the hotel, it will attract the attention of a certain group, so..." Logan continued to explain.

"I see," Scarlett nodded in agreement. She didn't want Jude Withers to find out about her movements while she was in this city.

"Ma'am, we can get out now," Logan gestured to Scarlett after the cabin crew finished setting up the stairs.

Scarlett nodded and stood up from her seat, but her cell phone vibrated before she could take a step. Her eyes widened with anticipation when she saw Noah's name on the screen.

"Finally, we got the address!!" Scarlett smiled slowly, putting on her sunglasses before stepping off the plane. She was in a good mood because she was about to confront someone she truly despised.

"Ma'am, Mr. Noah Withers has sent the address?" Logan, walking beside Scarlett and dragging their suitcase, asked. He needed to make arrangements to send someone to rescue Noah Withers if they already had his coordinates.

"Yes," Scarlett glanced at him. "Logan, don't do anything. I'll take care of everything. You just need to stay by my side when we go there to rescue him..." She ordered firmly.

Logan was shocked to hear the seriousness in her tone. However, he replied, "Young madam, I won't let you go there alone. You can beat me if you try to do that. You have to trust me this time; I will send someone to rescue him," Logan said.

At this moment, Logan felt stressed. Allowing her to come to this country worried him to death. How could he let her go there by herself? Master Xander would probably kill him if he allowed that to happen, right?

"XANDER!!?" Scarlett cried out loud, making Logan look forward and shocked to see his master standing beside the Maybach.

"Why are you already here?" Scarlett asked as she ran towards him, unable to believe that her husband had also flown to this place.

Xander opened his arms and hugged Scarlett tightly. He didn't rush to answer but savored her alluring scent, satisfying his longing.

After a few moments, he loosened his embrace and held her by the shoulders, locking their gaze. "After talking to you, I flew here immediately..." He smiled. "Well, after refueling the jet, of course."

Scarlett was stunned and felt the warmth inside, knowing that Xander had to undertake another long-distance flight to X Country to be with her.

"Okay, get in the car. We'll continue talking inside..." Xander opened the car door and helped her get in. After ensuring she was seated properly, he closed the door and briefly conversed with Logan before joining Scarlett.

"Xander, you must be tired," Scarlett halted her words when she saw him shake his head while he grabbed her hand and intertwined their fingers.

"How long did you wait for me in this place?" She continued, giggling as she felt his warmth.

"Not too long, about thirty minutes," he said, lighting up the partition between the driver and them for privacy.

"I heard from Logan that we will be staying at the Villa. Did you buy a villa in this city?" She changed the subject as she could see his sultry gaze.

Xander stifled a laugh as he noticed Scarlett pulling her body further away from him. He leaned back against the seat before saying, "Well, this Villa was given to us by Alex as a wedding gift. But I didn't accept it because it was too expensive. So, I intended to send money to him, but that man refused me!"

Scarlett was surprised to learn that Alex Hill had given them such an expensive wedding gift. She agreed with Xander that they couldn't take it for granted.

"Is Alex's brother that rich?" asked Scarlett, surprised that he could casually give away such an expensive villa as a wedding gift.

"Very! His grandpa is old money in this country," Xander glanced at Scarlett before continuing, "You know Uncle Noah's apartment building? It belongs to his family."

Scarlett nodded in understanding. The apartment building was the most expensive in the city, and only the prominent figures in the country could afford units there.

"Wow, no wonder he could easily give us that villa," Scarlett muttered while looking outside, anticipating to see how grand the Villa was.

Later, they both fell silent as if lost in their thoughts.

...

"Babe, you've got Noah Withers' location, right?" Xander suddenly broke the silence.

Scarlett turned to meet his gaze, "Yeah, I just received it." A smile graced her face as she continued unhurried, "Xander, let's carry out our plan..."

"Hmm, let's beat that old man!!" The corners of Xander's lips lifted slightly to form a weak smile, eager to carry out their mission.
