The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Chapter 518 Arrived In Longyearbyen (2)

Three days had passed since their arrival in Longyearbyen, yet there was no sign of the trail they were searching for on God’s Eye’s radar nor in their field results.

Scarlett had expected to find her mother sooner, given that the island’s population numbered only a few thousand people. However, even though she had traced all her mother’s and Allaistar’s fake identities, they failed to find any new traces. They’ve checked CCTV footage in public places and several CCTV systems belonging to local restaurants and shops.

Since morning, Scarlett hadn’t even bothered going into the computer room. She had asked Max to inform her via her cell phone if he discovered anything.

Scarlett stepped outside the house to clear her mind, enjoying the view while sunbathing and sipping hot coffee. She simply gazed at the serene blue sea before her eyes for a moment. However, the beauty and tranquility of the place still couldn’t calm her restless mind.

Until she had finished her coffee, her mind remained troubled.

‘Did I miss something? Why hasn’t God’s Eye picked up any traces of Mom?’ she wondered repeatedly as she took deep breaths.

‘Did Mom actually come to this island?’ This question frequently surfaced in her mind.

‘Or did they fake a flight here while diverting to another location?’ And this was the question she was so afraid of.

…

While Scarlett was engrossed in her thoughts, Xander emerged from the house and felt sorry to see her in a gloomy state. “Babe… Do you want to drive to the town?” Xander’s voice 07:24

successfully distracted Scarlett. When she turned to look at him, he “Babe… Do you want to drive to the town?” Xander’s voice successfully distracted Scarlett. When she turned to look at him, he continued, “We only need to drive about ten minutes to get there.”

Seeing Scarlett not responding, Xander said, “We can eat at a local restaurant and enjoy the view.” He walked to stand beside her. Xander wanted his wife to rest for a while. He didn’t want to see her depressed because the results she expected didn’t go according to her plan.

“Come on… If you’re worried about the computer room, we can ask Seven to stand by here for a while. He’s inside talking to Rex.”

“Okay,” Scarlett nodded. She reaches out to hold Xander’s hand. “Let’s go…” She really needs a break. Perhaps her mind will be clear again after a trip to the town.

Before long, Their car is heading to the town. Along the way, they discuss the field agent who still investigated in a few areas. “Earlier, I overheard Rex and the others talking. They searched through this town but found no trace. Have you considered suggesting they expand their search parameters? I know several islands and abandoned coal mines around Svalbard,” Xander suggested.

Scarlett turned to look at Xander before explaining their plan. “After they searched the city and found nothing, they began doing that today. There are two ships, two teams that will start searching a few places around the island…”

“That’s good to hear, babe.” Xander smiled. “Hope they will find any clue.”

“Well, I’ve already talked to Rex. If a week passes without progress, all Fox members will leave this island. And, I plan to confront Allaistar…” Anger flashed across her gaze as she imagined torturing her uncle, slowly killing him—something she didn’t want to do but felt forced to do.

“If you pull back, Fox member, what about Max? Will someone stay at the cabin to monitor the computer?”

“Yes, Brother Allen will stay here for a while,” she confirmed.

…

Before long, their car finally arrived at the main street. They parked their car at the only supermarket in Longyearbyen. They didn’t stop by at the supermarket but walked around the city for a few minutes, conversed, and enjoyed the city’s serenity.

There is not much to do in this city. In the summer, tourists will enjoy the island’s beauty by boat and see the glacier; if they are lucky, they can also see a polar bear.

After walking around the city for a while, they returned to the car. It didn’t take long for them to find a local cafe called Husky. They decided to stop by.

Scarlett was pleasantly surprised to find a white husky peacefully asleep on the couch. The dog appeared incredibly cute and well-behaved. She selected a seat in the corner while Xander placed their order. When Xander joined her, she commented, “No wonder they named this cafe Husky. It seems like the owner named it after his dog.”

“Indeed, that’s the reason. I had a chat with the owner when I placed our order. He mentioned that they don’t allow other dogs to enter this place because it’s exclusively for his dog, Husky,” Xander explained.

“Wow, that’s interesting,” Scarlett said, briefly glancing at the Husky before looking out the cafe window at the tranquil town with no one in sight.

As Scarlett and Xander patiently waited for their orders, they overheard a conversation between the young woman and the barista.

From their discussion, Scarlett could gather that the woman was a YouTuber who created content about Svalbard and was gaining popularity on social media.

Upon hearing what they were discussing, a sudden idea struck Scarlett, and she tightly grabbed Xander’s hand.

“What’s wrong, Baby? Why do you look so surprised?” Xander asked, confused by Scarlett’s tight grip on his arm.

“Xander, I just had a new idea,” Scarlett said with a smile. “Wait a moment. I need to talk to Max.” She then left the restaurant to ensure other cafe visitors wouldn’t overhear her conversation.

Max’s voice came through her earbuds after typing a few codes into her unique apps.

“Max, I’m glad you read my text,” Scarlett enthusiastically greeted Max.

“Hello, Scarlett. What’s going on?” Max asked. Earlier, he had only received a text from Scarlett requesting an urgent call.

“I have a question for you. Up to now, you’ve been tracking our targets solely using CCTV footage, correct?”

“Yes, I’ve been monitoring all the CCTVs on this island, including those owned by residents. Why do you suddenly bring this up?”

Scarlett promptly explained to Max the idea that had just crossed her mind—a potential method to uncover traces of her mother.
