The Billionaire's Genius Wife
43 Sneaky Old Man
"I would be single forever if I told you," Xander replied curtly.
Xander slowly took a deep breath. His guess was correct because this old man had found out about Scarlett pretty soon.
He was impressed. His Grandfather still had a spy in the White Mansion. Looks like he needs to clean up the rat in his house.
"Xander, my grandson… Why do you say that? I am the first person who wants to see you married. Xander, it would be best if you had a son to continue our family name. You should remember that." Old Riley looked displeased with his grandson's attitude.
Xander leaned back lazily in his chair, ignoring what his Grandfather said.
"And why did you choose that woman? Why didn't you choose a wife from a prominent family in this country? You know, I have many candidates for you. But, you always reject them... what exactly do you see in that island woman?"
Xander was shocked.
Unbelievable, this old man already investigated Scarlett?
He suddenly felt like throwing a tantrum. Before he could answer, he heard his Grandfather say something, which made his patience run out.
"I will get someone to annul your marriage with that island woman. I will never allow the successor of the Riley family to be born from such a woman!" This time Old Riley's voice sounded serious.
But at the same time, for the first time today, Xander showed his fury in front of his Grandfather.
"You want to cancel my marriage!? Who are you to do that? Are you a God?" His blue eyes narrowed slightly, his lips breaking into a sinister smile, "Even if you are a god, I would never be afraid of you!"
Xander stood up from his chair. His eyes still darting to his grandpa before saying, "If you dare to threaten me with that kind of words again, you will lose your grandson forever. Because I will remove your name from mine." His voice was low, but the threat was clear from his tone.
"Y-You…" Old Riley was tongue-tied hearing Xander's words.
"You can challenge me, old man!" Xander said and walked to the door. This time he was agitated. Never once did a meeting with his grandfather end well. It always ends in a fight, hurting each other. He better get out of this damn place.
"You, you, how dare you threaten your grandfather?" Old Riley pointed at his grandson with hands shaking in annoyance.
Walter Riley was fuming. His favorite grandson always made him angry. This kid rejected all the women he offered to be his wife. And now he dared to threaten him?
It felt like half of his life was reduced after hearing his grandson's threat. He no longer recognized this brat in front of him. And now he barely couldn't breathe, as if someone was pressing on his chest.
"Xander Riley! Get back here. I'm not done talking!!" Old Riley said in a trembling voice. His breath hitched, making Alvin, who stood by his side, panic.
"Old Master... Please don't be angry. Oh my God... breathe... old master...please breathe." Alvin was scared seeing how pale Old Master's face was now, he could see a cold sweat on his forehead.
"Master Xander, please stop. Something happened to the Old Master. Please come back..." Alvin shouted, making Xander stop his steps. He turned around only to see Alvin's frightening looking-eyes staring at him.
"Please, Master Xander, talk to Old Master again. The man is very old, and you make him angry like that...You could hurt him…." Alvin continued his plea.
Xander didn't say anything and didn't move at all. He just looked at his Grandfather. He was slightly stunned at how pale his Grandfather's face was.
He took a deep breath.
'This old man is too sneaky. He always used his health to make me stay by his side!!'
Even though Xander was still angry, he returned to his seat.
"Master Xander, speak nicely to your Grandfather. He is the only elder you have…." Alvin spoke again.
This time Young Riley glared at Alvin like he was warning him to stop talking or he would do something to punish him. Alvin immediately shut his mouth and turned his gaze to the old man.
After hurling his threat at Alvin, Xander turned his gaze to his Grandfather.
"Grandpa, please, I beg you, don't interfere in my love affairs again. Scarlett is the woman I like and my only wife in this lifetime. So, if you want to separate us, I can only say you will never get grandchildren from me. Because I will only marry once, to her!"
Old Riley held back his anger. He didn't want his stubborn grandson to get angry again. He needs to calm down. This child cannot be threatened. And just now, he looked earnest with what he said.
Should he soften up a bit? Should he find some other way to separate them?
"Fine! But you have to bring her here. I want to meet her..." This was the only way he could do it now. He could ask the girl to divorce his grandson and give her a lot of money. That island woman definitely won't refuse, right!?
"I will!" Xander stood up again. "Grandpa, I still have a lot of work to do. I have to go now!"
Xander left the room without giving his Grandfather a chance to ask him to stop. He wanted to leave the mansion immediately, or they would hurt each other again.
Sigh!
This was why he was so lazy to return to Riley's main house. His Grandfather constantly interfered too much in his personal life, even though he is no longer a stupid teenager. He is already in his late twenties, so his grandpa's interference in his life is really upsetting.
When Xander arrives at the parking lot, he bumps into his half-brother, Carter Riley.
"Big Brother! Why are you leaving so soon? Let's talk for a bit..." Carter Riley walked quickly, following his big brother. He smiled when his brother glanced at him.
Xander ignored him.
But of course, this kid was after him. "Brother, wait. I have something to report to you. It's about work..."
He finally stopped and turned to Carter, "Speak! You have 3 minutes!"
It was clear from Xander's expression that he had no interest in hearing his words.
"Bro, it's about Red Animation Studio."
Xander's face suddenly changed.
