The Billionaire's Genius Wife

When Xander came out of the room, he saw Alvin walking towards him. In his hands were several shopping bags from well-known brands.

He stopped opening his study room’s door, waiting for Alvin to approach.

“Sir, these ready-to-wear clothes for Young Madam were prepared by the Old Master. Please give them to her…” Alvin said politely.

‘Grandpa!! How can you be one step faster than me?’ Xander felt lost.

It was unthinkable in Xander’s mind to prepare clothes for Scarlett. Instead, he gave her used clothes.

‘You are such an idiot, Xander Riley!!’ He can’t help but scold himself for being inconsiderate.

“Thanks, Alvin!” He took the shopping bag and entered his study. He will give her later.

It’s been 30 minutes, and the person he ordered should have the information he needs about what happened to Jonathan Piers. He couldn’t wait to hear the results of his investigation.

Xander stood before the French window and looked at the lonely moon in the dark sky. He was lost in his deep thoughts for a moment, but after a few minutes, he gasped in surprise when his phone vibrated.

He immediately picked it up as soon as he saw the name of the person he was waiting for appears.

“Master Xander, I have obtained the results of the investigation.” Said the man on the other end.

“So, what happened there?” Xander asked.

Even though Scarlett didn’t ask for it, he needed to investigate. So, if something could harm Scarlett, he could find out about it in advance.

He did all this only to avoid trouble in the future. At least, that reason gave him an excuse to do this.

“It all started with the death of Mr. Frans…”

“Hmmm…. So that bastard died!?” This news took him by surprise. Even though he hated that man, he never imagined that he would die so soon. “How?”

“He died in a car accident. After the incident, Mr. Frans’s people accused the accident was caused by Mr. Piers. That is why they went to Piers’ house, wrecked it, and tortured him.”

Xander was shocked to hear that. He didn’t expect Scarlett’s father to be hurt by that man.

Now he was confused, why suddenly there was this accident. Still fresh in his mind, he had solved the financial problem for Scarlett’s parents. Why are they in trouble again?

“At this time, Mr. Piers is still in the operating room. According to the examination report I got from the hospital, his chances of survival are minimal. Even if he did survive, there is a possibility that he would go into a coma because he had a pretty serious brain hemorrhage.”

“Have the people who injured him been arrested?”

“Not yet, sir. The Piers family is in a real mess right now. Even the police in charge of this case seem to be dragging their feet…”

Xander frowned.

“You know who hit Frans?”

Xander had suspected that Frans couldn’t quickly die from an accident. Someone behind the accident must want to kill him, and it can’t be Piers.

The Piers family couldn’t even do that. Jonathan Piers was just an ordinary businessman. He didn’t have the power and resources to kill someone.

“At the crime scene, there were no other cars, so the police said it was a single accident. However, when I went to the crime scene, I found evidence that it was not a single accident. Someone tried to cover up this incident. I suspect the police were involved…”

“Interesting!” Xander muttered.

Suppose someone can use the police to cover up the case. In that case, that person is politically well-connected and possibly wealthy and powerful. Who? And what’s the motive? Is it something to do with Piers, or is it just a coincidence?

“Did you find any evidence? The one who wanted to kill Frans?”

“I haven’t found solid evidence to find that person. But there are other clues that I have found. But I don’t know the symbol. I will send you the picture, sir.”

Xander looked at the photo. Instantly his facial expression darkened when he saw a tiny image shaped like a fox’s head on his cellphone screen. He was very familiar with that mark. It belonged to the international Assassin Guild, The Fox.

How did the top assassin guild in this world appear on island B? And their target is Frans? Frans is just a loser, not a big shot.

‘Since when did The Fox accept the assassination assignment of someone as lowly as Frans?’

Xander was completely confused by this. He knows who did it. But he didn’t know what their motives were.

“Sir, are there any other orders? Should I stay at the hospital to pay more attention to Mr. Piers’ condition?”

Xander didn’t answer right away. He pondered for a while. Instantly a thought crossed Xander’s mind as his brow wrinkled slightly.

‘Bastard!! So you do this for her? You are wrong! You are not helping her, but you are adding another problem for her. Rex Morrison, you are the most brainless person I ever know!!’ He cursed Rex in his heart, feeling annoyed.

He knew the truth but had no right or obligation to act because the girl forbade him to do something. Right now, he reserves himself to only observe. .

“Stop investigating the car accident. For now, stay in the hospital and tell the Hospital Director to do anything he should do. And, get the medical records and send them to the doctors in the capital. Ask them to be on standby if needed.”

“Yes, sir, I will…”

“And no one knows what you were doing there, including the Piers family. Stay hidden!” Xander said and ended the call.

Xander didn’t want to meddle in Scarlett’s family matters if she didn’t ask him to. Because from the start, he didn’t like Jonathan Piers and his wife, Lauren.

How could a father have such a cold, evil heart!? He sold his daughter to pay off his debts.

Jonathan Piers deserved this heavenly punishment. This is his karma.

For Xander, the most essential thing is Scarlett. He just needed to protect her, as he had promised her.

After a few minutes, Xander picked up the shopping bag and headed back to the bedroom.
