The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Chapter 524 Rosalie Withers (3)



Liam suddenly feels his throat go dry. He didn't know how they obtained the antidote, but he knew someone would appear to bring it every Friday, and they only sent one dose. They don't keep antidote stock in this place. 

It seems he still can't escape his death, even though this woman already offered him a chance.

Liam clenches his fist tightly before saying, "Ma'am, just kill me..." he murmured faintly. There's no need to plead for his life; he is sure this woman will never let him go.

Rosalie was a little surprised by his words. 

'Is he lying?' she wondered, narrowing her eyes at him, attempting to discern if he was telling the truth. 

However, seeing his seriousness, her heart sank as if falling into a deep abyss. What she feared was becoming a reality. She didn't have time; eventually, she would die because of this deadly poison.

'How on earth does this man not know either?' She vented her frustration inwardly. 

It seemed she only had one option to find the antidote. She had to find Allaistar. She had to meet him before they killed him.

"I'm sorry, Liam. I can't let you go..." Rosalie faintly smiled at him and shot him in his temple. She wanted to release him, but she couldn't, fearing he might return and cause trouble for her.

Rosalie slowly stood from her seat, picked up a cigarette from the table, and walked out to the front yard. 

She chose to enjoy the sunrise on the lawn, settling into a garden chair while observing the sunrise beginning to emerge.

Her mind began to rewind to the years of her terrible youth, spent running and hiding to escape death as numerous people sought her demise. 

It was terrifying and exhausting. 

Her enemy in the shadows was ready to kill her if she left this place. Her older brother, Jude Withers, is also driven by greed for money and power and wants her life. 

What made her fall like now was her last assignment that led her to meet Allaistar. That fucking bastard wanted her life, pushing her to this extreme because he threatened her with Scarlett's life.

After she tried to erase her relationship with Scarlett, so her daughter could live comfortably, unlike her. However, that bastard Allaistar found Scarlett. 

But, now, hearing that Allaistar had been captured, she couldn't waste this opportunity.

She feels exhausted from running and hiding. She will use her last breath to make things right, to create a safe world for her daughter before departing from this earth.

Rosalie lit her cigarette and slowly inhaled.

"World, we will finally meet again..."

Scarlett wanted to save her mother faster, but she could not do so. They needed more time to arrive in this city. 

"Seven, how many more minutes?" Scarlett asked Seven, who was now driving the car, rushing towards the address Max had given her.

"Relax, we already have our people guarding that area. They won't escape even when they notice we are heading to that place," Seven replied, casting a smile at Scarlett through the rearview mirror.

Sitting beside Scarlett, Rex nodded in agreement with Seven. "Yes, sister. Relax, everything will be alright with Aunty," he reassured, then turned to gaze outside as the sun began to rise.

Although she had many questions she wanted to ask, Scarlett refrained from doing so. 

Not long after, their car left the main road onto a narrow, single-lane road. There are no buildings lining the path, only trees on either side.

Arriving at a T-junction, two men appear. They are both Fox members stationed nearby. They had hurried to this location and had only just come hours ago.

"Sir, you can't proceed further, or they'll notice..." a man with curly red hair cautioned. He guided the car to a concealed parking spot.

"Did you guys check inside?" Nine asked upon exiting the car.

"We've got two more people in the rear area behind. But we can't communicate with them due to a jammer signal around the house," the man explained. "But don't worry, the only entrance is this street."

Nine nodded, glancing at Scarlett and the others. "Shall we enter now?"

"Hmm, no need to wait. I wouldn't care if they had a platoon!" Scarlett declared, checking her gun, adjusting her black cap, and striding quickly toward the house.

Rex chuckled, observing Scarlett's hastened movements. He glanced at everyone before saying, "Alright, I'll follow her. Seven, you'll be our sniper today. Provide backup. Nine and Twelve, you take the lead, using an alternate road."

"No worries!" they affirmed, moving out.

Rex gestured to two field agents, "You follow them..." pointing to Twelve and Nine, who had already taken another route.

Observing their actions, Rex adjusted his communication device and ran after Scarlett.

"Three..." Rex called out to Scarlett. When she turned, he tossed a communication device to her. "Use that. And be cautious, or a certain man in Paris will have my head if you're injured here," he grinned, recalling Xander's warning before their departure.

Scarlett smiled, understanding what he meant. "He'll definitely cut your head off, bro."

...

Later,

Scarlett and Rex were surprised to find no guards when they reached the property's main entrance.

"Why aren't there any guards here?" Scarlett whispered, peering cautiously at the slightly ajar entrance.

"Yeah. Let me go in first," Rex said, stepping into the front yard. Touching his earpiece, he whispered, "Seven, did you notice too!?"

Soon, Seven's voice came through the earpieces, "Yes. I've scanned the area, but I couldn't spot anyone. Maybe they are all inside the house!?"

"How about you guys?" Rex asked Nine and Twelve.

"Same!" Twelve responded. "Why aren't there any guards in this area? This place feels like a haunted place. I can't sense anyone here. This calm place is enough to make my brother Nine yawn; he looks so sleepy now," he remarked.

"Stop your nonsense, little boy!" Nine scowled at him. "Are you trying to taste my potion? I have a new potion that could insta kill you in just one drop..."

"I'm just kidding, big bro..." Twelve chuckled, walking faster toward the main building and leaving the grumpy, crazy doc behind. "Three, are you sure this is the right address?"
