The Billionaire's Genius Wife

“After that, you don’t need to say anything because I will explain everything to him!” Rex said while looking at Xander, who looked annoyed. With his vast strides, he walked towards them. “Sister, you can go now. Talk to your angry husband!!”

It took Scarlett a few seconds to realize Rex’s words.

ραпdα n?νa| сom She looked back and was shocked beyond words to see Xander. His face looked somber, and the light in his eyes looked different from what she usually saw. Instantly her body froze, and her legs felt heavy to move.

Scarlett only took a step, and suddenly she was in Xander’s embrace. She could feel his warmth and hear his loud, noisy heartbeat, as if war drums were heard inside. After a few seconds, she could feel Xander let go of his hug.

Xander checked Scarlett’s whole face and body to ensure she had no injury.

“X-Xander, I’m fine! Trust me, hubby.” She said as she looked up and met his worried gaze.

“I’m sorry….” She couldn’t finish her words as his lips sealed hers. She couldn’t refuse even though this time his kiss felt rough. It feels like Xander was punishing her with his kiss.

…

Rex rolled his eyes, seeing Xander kissing Scarlett before his eyes. He felt like punching this bastard Xander on his smooth face — how dare he rub a lemon into his heart!

‘Fuck you, Xander Riley!!!’ he vents his anger inside his mind while shifting his gaze to the people Xander brought.

They were standing by the car, looking at them. He saw that they were not bodyguards but looked like a special agent like the federal bureau in his country.

He chuckled!

‘So you wanted to flex your power before me, huh? You’re still too amateur to do that, Xander!!’ Rex muttered to himself.

Unable to bear the sight of his little sister’s PDA with his ex-friend, Rex decides to enter the warehouse to check on his team’s progress to clear all traces of Scarlett.

“Rex Morrison, stop!! We have to talk!” Xander’s cold voice made Rex’s steps stop abruptly. The sight of Xander’s hand over Scarlett’s shoulder can make his face sour. If it wasn’t for Scarlett, he would have beaten Xander long ago for taking the girl he likes!

Rex didn’t say anything, but there was a big question mark in his eyes.

“Follow me, we need to talk!” Xander’s voice sounded so cold that a fierce murderous aura immediately emerged. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍．𝒆𝒕

Scarlett felt colder when she heard Xander’s voice. She was stunned when she saw Xander’s face darken, and she glared at Rex angrily. Then, Scarlett looked at Rex. His expression was exactly the same as Xander’s—it looked like they wanted to kill each other.

Worried that the two men she cared about would start fighting, she immediately let go of Xander’s embrace and stood between them—Xander on her left and Rex on her right.

Scarlett looked between them before saying, “Speak here!! I want to hear you guys talk.” She looked at Xander. “…Xander, I’m here on my own accord. You got the text I sent, right? I told you, I’m after the prime suspect for the resort case!”

Xander’s angry glare instantly disappeared when he saw Scarlett. His smile widened before he said, “I didn’t. My phone was in the car you drive!” His voice sounded gentle.

“W-WHAT!?” Scarlett was surprised. No wonder this man looks so angry. Turns out he didn’t know she was here.

“And you didn’t pick up your phone either, even though I called you hundreds of times.” Xander continued.

Scarlett “…”

Instantly she felt regretful for making Xander worry about her.

“Sorry, Xander!” Her voice sounded soft, which could make Xander’s heart melt. “…I spontaneously ran after the suspect without thinking of anything else. I’m really sorry!”

She walked quickly towards him and once again threw herself into his arms. “Please forgive me and don’t get angry again, okay!?”

“It’s okay. At least you’re fine! And come back to me the same as when I saw before Ieft, healthy and intact!” He said as he rubbed her back gently. He couldn’t be mad at this girl, every time he saw her smile it melted his heart.

Rex, ignored by the two lovebirds, couldn’t help feeling annoyed. He gritted his teeth before saying, “Little sister… Ex-friends, can you two stop showing affection in front of me? It makes me want to kill someone!!”

Scarlett pulled herself away from Xander, but before she could, Xander grabbed her by the waist and pressed her against his chest. “Babe, stay still. Let this single dog suffer!!” He said while sending an overbearing smile to Rex.

Scarlett, “…”

Rex, “…”

Rex could only curse Xander a million times in his heart. He pushed his anger back into his stomach before continuing, “Mr. Riley!! Your dear wife could have died…if I didn’t come here at the right time!”

Scarlett, who was still in Xander’s arms, immediately felt uneasy. Afraid Rex will talk nonsense.

“And you, the husband. Where are you? You are supposed to be protecting your wife. But you came late, man! And instead of thank you, now you are upset with me. Aren’t you supposed to be nice to me? A thank you, Mr. Rex, would be nice… Tsk!! What an ungrateful person! Now you have successfully upset me. You have provoked me well!!” Said Rex in a normal tone but sounded like a slap to Xander.

Xander ignored Rex’s lengthy upset words. Instead, he asked, “How did you find her?”

When he arrived and saw Rex chatting with Scarlett, the anger was fuming in his chest. It was nearly unbearable. How did this man get here faster than him? Did Scarlett contact him for help?

“Have you ever heard of a GPS tracker, my dear ex-friend!? It’s a really fucking useful piece of technology. You should try to use it.” A teasing smile appeared on Rex’s face.

“WHAT!? Did you put a fucking GPS tracker on my wife’s phone? How dare you!?” Xander felt all his blood rushing to his face. Fuming because Rex can trace his wife’s whereabouts anytime, anywhere, while he can’t.
