The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Lauren Piers was annoyed to see this stubborn Scarlett. She followed Jonathan and stood beside him.

“Oh my, Scarlett! Why are you so stubborn? Why don’t you listen to your father? After all these years, he raised you with love and paid for your education! All the while you were studying in the USA, this is your attitude towards him!? You don’t respect nor thank him at all!?” Lauren couldn’t contain her anger anymore.

Lauren’s hand felt like slapping this stupid girl. She didn’t understand why this girl was so difficult to talk to. Very different from her daughter, who is very sweet and obedient.

Scarlett chuckled at Lauren’s words. “Father, tell your wife… is it true that you paid for my education while I was living in the US?”

Jonathan was speechless.

“Ungrateful child! How can you ask your father like that? It’s okay if you don’t see me as your mother. But you can’t do that to your father… he is your biological father!” Lauren feels angry at this girl and her husband, who pamper his daughter too much.

Scarlett was too lazy to argue with this idiot woman. She looked at her father. “Father, sorry, I can’t help you. You have to clean up your mess by yourself…” she said. She walked past her father and Lauren. She immediately took her suitcase and walked to the door.

“Scarlett, please listen to me first!” Jonathan once again wanted to stop his daughter. Still, just as he was about to grab her hand, a man suddenly appeared in front of him, making him stop and unable to stop Scarlett.

Jonathan was shocked.

How long has this man been in his house?

“Who are you? Why are you at my house?”

“Husband, this man is Scarlett’s lover. It seems like this man has made Scarlett want to elope with him. Jonathan, please, please… do something. Scarlett is losing her mind now… ” Lauren said while crying.

Scarlett, “…”

Jonathan was shocked.

Logan didn’t bother to answer Jonathan’s question. He smiled sarcastically at Jonathan and Lauren and then took the suitcase from Scarlett. He walked out of the house, following Scarlett.

“Scarlett!! Scarlett stops right there! I’m not done talking to you yet!” Jonathan shouted as he ran after his daughter, but he couldn’t get close to her because the man in a black suit was blocking him.

He couldn’t do anything. He could only see the black Maybach disappear from his sight.

After some time, he saw his wife. “Stupid woman!! This is all your fault!! This was all your idea!!” he said, annoyed. Not lingering in that place, he left Lauren, still frozen, staring at him.

Lauren Piers was shocked. Jonathan’s words were like a blow to her head. She can’t help but feel guilty.

‘H-He knows I drugged his daughter. But he still sided with me!? Jonathan, I’m sorry….’

While in the car,

pαndα`noν?1–сoМ Scarlett’s mind was hurt since leaving her home. Her eyes blurred, seeing the streets she used to see. Memories with her mother slowly filled her mind. It made her chest feel tight.

She misses her late mother. If only her mother was still alive, her father would not have betrayed her and sided with that evil woman.

But this is her destiny. She couldn’t change that. All she could do now was avoid conflict with her father. She leaves… but she won’t be gone forever. One day she will return, taking all that is rightfully her. She wouldn’t let that evil woman take them.

“Miss Scarlett, we have arrived….”

Scarlett was stunned when she saw the parked car in the basement. She was so deep in thought she had no idea where their car was parked at the time.

“After you, miss…” Logan opened the car door for her. 𝐞𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.

“Where are we!?” She got out of the car and took her backpack.

“Beachfront hotel.”

Instantly Scarlett’s step abruptly stopped. Her heart beat faster, surprised by this hotel’s name — she was a bit traumatized after what she had experienced yesterday at this hotel.

Why did Logan bring her back here?

“Miss Scarlett, Mr. Riley, stay in this hotel, so we’ll meet him upstairs…” Logan explained after seeing Scarlett not moving, and it was clear from the look in her eyes that she looked shocked.

“Logan, aren’t there any other hotels? Why did Xander choose this hotel? Can we move somewhere else?” She wanted to say that, but the words stuck on the tip of her tongue. She swallows as she follows Logan into the elevator.

Their elevator goes straight to the top floor.

When she got out of the elevator, she saw only two doors on the floor. Grants and luxurious corridors stunned her — this was different from the place she was in yesterday. It was as if she was in another hotel.

“This is your room, Miss Scarlett…”

Logan opens door #2501 and lets her in.

Scarlett didn’t ask anything when she entered the room. As soon as she entered the room, she heard the sound of a door closing behind her. Scarlett was surprised to learn that Logan wasn’t coming with her and had gone. She only saw her suitcases right behind her.

She dragged her suitcase and entered the large and luxurious living room area. She saw 2 large doors in the room with gold ornaments.

And soon, her eye caught the large French windows overlooking the sea – the beach view was so stunning, for a moment, she was enchanted by the vast blue ocean.

Scarlett couldn’t remember how long she stared at the beach in front of her. Until she heard the sound of a door opening. Her heart skipped beating for a second when a handsome man appeared behind the door.

‘Xander Riley!’ She silently spells his name in her heart.

Xander’s deep eyes looked directly into Scarlett’s with an intoxicating charm, “Miss Scarlett, that’s your room. You can put your suitcase there.” He pointed to the bedroom door, which was right beside his room.
