The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Scarlett silently swallowed. ‘Sorry, Tyler!! I lied to you! I hope you understand!’ She said to herself, and another water went down her throat.

Damn! She had drunk a lot of water since entering this room, and she started to feel her stomach full! Talking about her relationship with Xander is clearly wearing her out.

“Girl! So when did you officially introduce us to our brother-in-law?” Zara is ready to accept that her young friend, five years younger than her, is now married.

“Yeah, I can’t wait to see Xander again!” said Tyler. His words could attract both Scarlett’s and Zara’s curious gazes.

“Again!? Ty, have you met Xander before?” Scarlett asked curiously. Suddenly a thought crossed her mind. “Ty, you were in college with Xander, weren’t you!?”

All this time, she knew that Rex and Xander attended the same college, but they never wanted to talk about their past every time she asked. Thus, she had absolutely no idea why they had become enemies. And every time they meet, they want to kill each other.

“Really, Ty!? Is Xander in the same class as us? Why have I never met him!?” Zara, a college friend of Tyler and Rex, looks confused. .𝘯𝘵

She had never met Xander in their class, but she had read the news that Xander Riley attended the same college as them.

“Do you remember that me and Rex, we take double degrees? So, yeah. We’re in the same class with Xander Riley in our second major…” Tyler explained and was met with a nod by Zara.

“I remember now. So, you meet that man there… Don’t blame me, because I had never visited your second major’s classes. Any other interesting person from your second major’s classes I should know about?” Zara chuckled.

Zara feels the world is very narrow; Tyler and Rex met Xander in their early twenties, and that man is Scarlett’s past friend and now her husband.

“I see…” Scarlett muttered. Then curiosity starts to pop up in her mind, and she asks again, “Ty, please tell me, why are Xander and Rex now hating each other? Like enemies. I’ve asked the reason, but no one told me!!”

Scarlett took a deep breath looking at Tyler. Hoping Tyler will tell her so that she is not curious anymore.

Still lost in nostalgic memories of his college days, Tyler slowly looked at Scarlett. His brows knit together, surprised by Scarlett’s question.

Why didn’t they tell Scarlett!?

Now Tyler was afraid, to tell the truth to Scarlett. Afraid he would say something he should never have said. What if both powerful men hate him!?

Tyler took a deep breath and tried to make a quick decision!

“Come on, Tyler, don’t put me in the dark here! I promise you, I won’t put you in trouble. I will not tell them that I know from you…” She said it pleadingly.

Tyler didn’t answer right away. He was still thinking about the cause and effect it would have on him. At the same time, he reels back his memories of what happened in the past, trying to put together the correct words to say to Scarlett. So that this girl does not feel hurt.

Zara and Scarlett were looking at Tyler, curious to hear his explanation.

“Scarlet, I will tell you the truth. But I’m afraid that what I’m about to say might affect your marriage…” Tyler asked her, “Do you still want to hear it?”

This is what Tyler was afraid of; if he is honest with her and suddenly this girl asks Xander for divorce, he believes Xander might hunt him down!

And there is no way he can deal with Xander Riley! That man is also ruthless just like Rex.

“What? Come on, tell us what happened!?” Zara was shocked at Tyler’s words. “Is it really that bad, Ty?”

It wasn’t just Zara who was shocked; Scarlett did the same. She froze in her place for a moment and didn’t utter a single word.

‘The reason why Xander and Rex are in a bad relationship could jeopardize my marriage?’ Thought Scarlett, ‘What happened in the past? Why does it sound so scary!?’

Despite the worry welling up, she tried to muster her heart to hear it. Somehow, this would have driven her crazy if she didn’t know why Xander and Rex fought!

“Ty, I promise I will listen and won’t get you in trouble!!” Scarlett knew Tyler didn’t want Xander to blame him.

“Are you sure? You should think about it again, Scarlett!” Tyler rolled his sleeves up to his elbows, trying to calm himself before telling her about the past.

Without hesitation, Scarlett said, “Hmm! I’m sure…” She smiled, trying to reassure him even though she could feel her heart beating faster. Worry mixed with curiosity was how she felt now.

Tyler looked into Scarlett’s eyes, “The reason they became enemies like now was related to a woman.”

Scarlett’s hands clenched, and her mind began to imagine many bad things. However, she tried to calm down, hearing Tyler’s explanation.

“…In the past, Xander and Rex used to be best friends, but because of a woman, their relationship became strained, and now, they are like sworn enemies!”

“What! Woman? Who??” Zara said.

“Yes! Related to a woman, our classmate. That woman was Xander’s first love, I guess!” Tyler paused to see Scarlett’s reaction. After seeing she looked calm, not saying anything. He continued, “…If I’m not mistaken, Xander already proposed, and she agreed. They plan to get married when they graduate and return to Astington.”

Like a million nails stabbing her heart, Scarlett felt her heartache. But she tried to calm down and heard Tyler continue his words.

“Wow! Xander already had a fiancé at that time!?” Zara was surprised to hear that. “…Well, rich kids are usually like that! They got engaged when they were young…”

ραпdα n?νa| сom ‘No! That woman is definitely not his fiancé arranged by his family. That woman must be his real lover!’ Scarlett could only answer Zara in her heart — she knew Xander’s fiancé was Ella Harris. Now, she wants to know about the woman Xander once loved. Sigh!

“Yes, he is!” Tyler glanced at Zara.

“Ty, so what does this have to do with Rex? Why did they become enemies?” Ask Zara again.

“That’s the problem!” Tyler leaned back against the back of the chair and crossed his arms across his chest. Then he looked at the two women in front of him…
