The Billionaire's Genius Wife

In Country M.

A tall man with short ginger hair in black clothes stood by a glass wall gazing at the beautiful view of city lights outside his penthouse in Royal city.

But his calm was disturbed by the sound of quick footsteps from behind. He frowned.

“M-Master, I’m sorry if I disturbed you….” A low voice came from behind.

“Speak!!” The man in black said coldly, without looking back.

“I located her traces!!” The pale man said proudly.

Suddenly the man in black turned abruptly, looking at Xiu, “Explained!”

“A while ago, I got a signal that someone was using her hacking style. I’m sure it was her! As you may know, no one can copy her style. But, after I tried to get closer to her by testing her, she disappeared!”

The man in black rubbed his perfect thick eyebrows, looking frustrated.

“But master, don’t worry. Even though she’s only been online for a few minutes, I found her probable location!” Xiu continued after looking at his master’s displeased expression.

The man in black slightly raised his head and looked at Xiu. Instantly, the light in his eyes flickered. “Where?”

“There is a 98% chance that she was in a faraway country, Astington!”

He didn’t rush to say anything. But it was clear a fierce murderous aura immediately emanated from the man in black before saying, “Assemble the tracker team and the assault team! We’re going to Astington. And we are going NOW!”

Meanwhile, at the same time, on B island,

After dinner, Scarlett and Xander return to the Beachfront Hotel.

Scarlett refuses to stay at her house because she has to solve the Ocean Group problem. And she doesn’t want her father to find out that there’s a problem with the company — worried that he’ll become stressed out.

When they arrived at their suite room, Scarlett sat in the living room. She busied herself communicating with Seven, who was investigating this case. While Xander was taking a shower.

“Did you find anything?” Scarlett asked him in a low voice.

“You prove your keen judgment still works wonderfully, Three!! This is indeed not an ordinary food poisoning case. It is a murder case!”

Even though Scarlett had expected it, she was still shocked. She listened to Seven’s report silently while holding her phone tighter.

“I thought this case was going to be complicated!”

“I’m not worried about that because Xander will help! We’ll be fine as long as our staff testifies that he’s not involved! No one can interfere.” Scarlett said confidently. Her resort will be fine. As long as the negative news dissipates and the case is handled fairly.

“But, how about the CCTV at the resort? I hear it’s broken. What are you going to do with it?” Seven asked again.

Scarlett fell silent. The CCTV issue at the resort definitely took her by surprise. However, if there were CCTVs from cars parked in resort areas and CCTVs on public roads, she would definitely find a clue. Nothing escaped her eagle eye.

However, something was worrying her. She couldn’t risk anymore using her ability to hack police CCTV — worried that someone would find out about her movements.

‘Should I ask for backup!?’ She wondered!

Before Scarlett could ask Seven, she paused when she heard him say, “Your staff has admitted it!!”

“W-H-A-T?” Scarlet straightened her back, feeling as if all the blood in her body was about to rush straight to her face. “Why did he do that? Did he seriously plan this murder? Impossible!? What’s his motive?”

This really confused her. And now, many questions came to mind; Why is this staff suddenly killing guests? Did he have a grudge against that guest?

It’s hard for Scarlett to understand it.

“The victim was a classmate of the resort staff. He had a grudge against the victim. And when he found out that the victim would stay at the resort, he immediately planned this murder!” Seven explained.

“What the heck, Seven!! Why didn’t you tell me earlier!? Damn!! Now you’re wasting my time!”

Seven could feel his throat go dry hearing Scarlett curse him. “Now I said…” He forgot to say it earlier because he was too serious to talk about something else.

Scarlett, “…”

After venting her anger on Seven, Scarlett was much calmer. “And you believe that?” she asked in an agitated tone.

“Don’t take me lightly, Three!!” Seven laughed before continuing, “…Of course not! Something was odd with that staff before he insisted he wasn’t involved, but he changed his statement later!”

“Has anyone visited him in the cell?” Scarlett was suspicious. Someone might make this guy change his statement.

“I’m not sure! But I’m sure he met the Attorney and CEO of Ocean Group!”

Scarlett massaged her forehead.

She wasn’t the strategist on the team, so she couldn’t solve this case alone. She needed someone to talk to and, in her mind, only one man appeared, Rex Morrison!

When she saw her smartwatch, it was almost midnight. She canceled to call Rex — that man must be clubbing, right!?

“Three, any other orders!?” Scarlett flinched at Seven’s voice; at the same time, something crossed her mind.

“Damn it!! Seven… How could we forget this!?” Scarlett patted her forehead lightly as she stood up from her chair. She was pacing back and forth in the room, feeling irked.

“What!?”

ραпdα n?νa| сom “The staff family! How do we forget that? Go!! Alright, now, go to the staff house. Please make sure the whole family is safe. Protect them. Ask anyone stationed on this island to help you.”

“But, what about this place? I need to observe the situation in this police station.” Seven didn’t expect Scarlett’s trip to this island to be chaotic, so he didn’t bring any backup. He is alone. .

“Listen, Seven! I’m pretty sure someone must have threatened the staff that they would hurt his family if he didn’t do what they said. That’s why he changed his statement!”

“You’re right. That’s likely the case. But, what about…”

“Just go, now!! I will take care of everything at the police station.” She said and ended the call before Seven could say another word.

Scarlett decides to go to the police station. She needs to hack their CCTV server. She couldn’t take the risk—Someone might notice her online movements if she tried remotely infiltrating the server.
