The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Chapter 125 Telling Father



pαndα`noν?1–сoМ ?Before sunset that Scarlett and the others could leave Ocean Group after meeting with the company’s key people.

Now, her mother’s old subordinate will handle all company affairs. The person will serve as Chief Operating Officer and be supervised by James as the acting CEO, who temporarily replaces her father.

Scarlett doesn’t want to be involved with the company’s management as the current largest shareholder. She would never want to continue her mother’s business because she was not in the tourism industry.

Even though this company doesn’t produce much money for her, she wants this company to keep running. The company is a solid reminder of her mother’s legacy.

Later,

Scarlett and Logan were rushed to the hospital. She had spoken with her father before returning to the capital. More than a week living on this island made her sluggish, and she wanted to return to her activities.

On the way to the hospital, Scarlett glanced at the document she had taken from Lauren.

She was terrified to look at the document. Afraid that Lauren’s statement was true, she is not her father’s biological daughter.

Scarlett felt that her relationship with her father in the last week was much better than before. She didn’t want her good mood to be disturbed just because of that matter.

For now… .

In Scarlett’s heart, Jonathan Piers is her birth father. At least for now, she chose to believe that. If she wasn’t Jonathan’s daughter, she would have waited until he willingly told her.

Shortly after, Scarlett arrived at her father’s ward. She saw that he had just started dinner. He looks very lonely, eating alone while watching television in his bed.

“Hi, Dad…” She walked to the bedside and smiled at him when their eyes met. “…Let me help you, dad!”

“Scarlett, you come…” Jonathan smiled through his eyes, so pleased to see her. “How are you today? You look so happy!? Is there any good news!?”

Scarlett smiled as she sat on the edge of the bed. Then, she started to feed her father and told him everything that happened in their house and at the Ocean Group.

Jonathan was impressed by what she did. “Thanks, Scarlett, you help dad to take care of everything in the house and company…” He was touched.

“Well, I just did what I should have done a long time ago…” Scarlett smiled bitterly, remembering when Lauren was still living in their house.

It was a dark time for her and some of the workers. But now, everything had returned to how it was when her mother was still alive — Lauren was no longer a madam at her house. And neither are her minions staying there.

“Dad, now Uncle Adams is the housekeeper in our house. He will call everyone who used to work there to continue their work. And tomorrow, Aunt Lana will come back too. She also will help you here until you can go home…”

Scarlett will ask Aunt Lana to return to the island to help care for her father. After all, she will be staying at Xander’s house this year. She doesn’t really need Aunt Lana’s help yet.

Jonathan was surprised to hear that Lana would return to his household. Even though some time ago, she resigned because she wanted to take care of her parents.

“Lana? So you’re still in touch with her? That’s great! I feel sorry after she resigned a few weeks ago. I’m afraid you will be angry and sad because she is your nanny…”

Scarlett stopped feeding her father.

She looked into his eyes before saying, “…Well, Dad! Actually, I asked Aunty Lana to stop working at our house. Because Lauren was torturing her. Aunt Lana bears up work at our house merely for me. So, after that incident, you know… when Lauren drugged me… I asked Aunty Lana to stay with me in the capital.”

“What!” Jonathan was utterly shocked to hear that. “So you’ve been living in the capital with your nanny all this time!?”

Scarlett was stunned. She doesn’t actually live with her Aunt Lana, but Xander. And until now, she hasn’t told her father about Xander. Likewise, about her company.

She could only nod to answer her father’s question. She is still trying to find the right words to introduce Xander to him.

Jonathan felt relieved. At least someone took care of his daughter after she left the house.

After feeding her father, Scarlett cleared the portable dining table. She made sure her father was comfortable, watching television on the bed.

Meanwhile, Scarlett sat on a chair beside the bed. Her mind was busy trying to find the words to explain to her father what her company was.

This is the right time to tell the truth about why she always refused to work at Ocean Group.

“Dad, there is something I want you to know…”

Scarlett’s words suddenly made Jonathan swiftly glance from the television to her.

“About what? Ah, about that handsome guy!?” Jonathan teased her. He knew about the man, but he had purposely waited for his daughter to talk about him.

She gulped.

“Hahaha, no. Not about that guy! But about something else. About why I don’t want to work in Ocean Group.” She said with blushing cheeks, remembering Xander’s handsome face flashed through her mind.

She really missed Xander. She couldn’t wait to meet him tonight after so many days apart.

“You’ve found a decent company in the capital?” For Jonathan, it doesn’t matter where she will work after graduating from college. The most important thing is that she has a job.

“Of course not. But I work for my own company.” Scarlett smiled as she saw her father’s eyes open wide. He was shocked.

“Y-You have a company? What company? Where did you get the money to set up that company?” Jonathan was too worried that his daughter would borrow money from the bank to open her business.

“Dad, don’t worry. My company has no debt…”

Hearing her words, he felt relieved. He is still traumatized by the Ocean Group case, which had to bear a lot of debt due to mismanagement.

“So, what’s your company name?” He was curious. “…Scarlett, if you need money, tell me. I will try to find money to help you…”

Scarlett, “…”
