The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Meanwhile, in a taxi that departed from Riley’s Building,

Scarlett couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction knowing that she had successfully evaded Xander’s people.

She had been careful to cover her tracks, using every trick on her sleeves to stay one step ahead of her pursuers.

After ensuring no one else could find her, Scarlett turned off her laptop and put it back in her bag.

Before long…

The taxi stopped, and Scarlett’s heart began to race as she peered out the window at the bustling train station. By nature, she doesn’t like crowds. But right now, she wasn’t herself but another persona long-awaited to come out. She is now a Fox Assassins Guild member, Three!

Scarlett took a deep breath. Then, she quickly pulled a hat out of her bag and placed it firmly on her head, hoping it would help her to avoid being identified by any CCTV cameras.

Scarlett joined seamlessly into the crowd moving through the station as she stepped out of the cab. She had always been good at blending in, and today was no exception.

The station was packed with commuters and tourists, exactly what Scarlett had hoped for. She knew that it would be difficult for Xander’s people to track her movements with so many people around.

She moved quickly and purposefully through the station, keeping her head down and avoiding eye contact with anyone she passed.

Finally, after several minutes of wading through the crowd, Scarlett arrived at her destination — the locker area tucked away in the corner of the station. ．

Scarlett warily looked around her. She couldn’t shake the feeling that she was being followed, even though she had taken every possible precaution to avoid her pursuers.

After ensuring she was safe, Scarlett quickly moved to the locker and entered the passcode. After the locker door opened, she promptly removed the bag she had stashed there a few months ago.

As an assassin, Scarlett knew the importance of being prepared for anything. She had always kept a bag like this one tucked away in case she needed to make a quick getaway.

And she never imagined that she would have to use the bag this fast. The incident at Xander’s office suffices to make her realize how dangerous her life is and how little she can trust those around her, including her husband, the man she honestly and sincerely loves.

Scarlett felt a deep sense of betrayal as she replayed the scene in her head. She had never imagined that Xander, the man she loved and trusted, could be capable of such an indecent act.

For months, she’d always been suspicious of and jealous of Zoey, but she’d always dismissed her fears as paranoia. Seeing him entangled with that woman, she knew her worst fears had been realized.

The realization that Xander had been in a relationship with Zoey for years hit her hard. She had always trusted him blindly and believed his every word. Now, she felt foolish and naive for not seeing through his lies.

Scarlett couldn’t help but curse herself for being so gullible. “How could I have been so stupid?” she muttered almost soundless. The thought of Xander and Zoey together made her blood boil.

But as she looked around the bustling station, Scarlett knew her anger and bitterness wouldn’t serve her well. She needed to let go of her hatred and move on.

“All men are the same,” she thought bitterly. But then she paused and shook her head. She knew that this wasn’t true. She had met good men who had treated her with kindness and respect before.

Scarlett realized she couldn’t let Xander’s betrayal define her outlook on all men. She had to be careful and protect herself, but she couldn’t let this experience dampen the possibility of future love.

Despite her love for Xander, Scarlett knew she couldn’t stay in this city any longer. She needed to get away, to clear her mind.

Scarlett stepped into the ladies’ room. Reaching into the bag, she took out the set of black clothes and the disguise equipment that she had carefully prepared.

She also found an assortment of currencies from several countries and a pile of passports. Each passport has a different name and nationality. After she found the passport she needed, she started changing her appearance.

Scarlett emerged from the ladies’ room in a few moments, completely transformed.

She was now a middle-aged woman with sharp, intelligent eyes and a slender bob of black hair that framed her face perfectly. Her demeanor is conservative but stylish, and a pair of cat-eye glasses perched on her nose completes her transformation.

She went to her locker, which she had paid for in advance for the next five years. Scarlett opened it and carefully stowed her bag inside. From within, she produced a brand new phone, and with a steady hand, she made a call.

“Seven! Where are you?” She asked, her voice filled with tension.

Scarlett knows that Seven is not following her today. Instead, she sees several unfamiliar faces following her. She suspects they are Xander’s people.

They followed her to protect her, but today, Scarlett decided to run from them. And it wasn’t hard. She managed to stay away from those guys and was sure they would never find her position.

“Airport!” Seven’s voice was filled with surprise at receiving Scarlett’s call. “I was just about to fly to country X. Why did you call me?” he asked, confused.

“Commercial or private airport?” Scarlett asked, ignoring his questions.

“Private airport!” Seven confirmed.

“Wait for me. I’ll be there in fifteen minutes,” Scarlett said, ending the call.

She was grateful Seven had not left the country. If he was already flying, she would inevitably have to take a commercial flight, which would be troublesome. Because Xander could screen and halt all commercial flights, it would be difficult for her to leave this city.

Scarlett exited the train station and quickly hailed a taxi, instructing the driver to take her to the private airport.
