The Billionaire's Genius Wife

When she finished watching the CCTV footage, Scarlett couldn't help but call someone — the source of her headache.

On the first ring, the phone connected, "Good morning, sister…" a cheerful voice came from the other end. That made her anger subside a little.

Tsk! This man tries to trap her again with his charms.

"Brother Rex, why are you lying!" Scarlett ignored his warm greeting and got to the point.

In one of the luxury penthouses in Manhattan, Rex looked at his cellphone screen, only to confirm that the woman who had called him was Scarlett.

He was a little confused because this girl had thrown a tantrum at him early in the morning when he had just woken up. "Are you Scarlett, right?" he asked.

"Yes!"

"Why do you sound annoyed this early morning, sister? Did your fake husband piss you off? Damn! Already fighting when you're supposed to be in your honeymoon period!?"

Rex laughed with pleasure when he pictured Xander fighting with Scarlett. He hoped this girl would wake up soon and leave that annoying man forever.

"Please answer me!" Scarlett held her forehead, trying to calm herself so as not to get angry.

"Answer what?"

Scarlett immediately cast a spell in her heart not to curse him. 'Calm down, Scarlett! Calm..."

"Brother Rex, why did you lie to me?" She asked patiently.

Yesterday, this man promised that he would only teach Frans a lesson. But apparently, he sent an assassin to finish off the man.

It didn't matter to her if he wanted to kill Frans, but at least he told her. And the worse thing is, the aftermath of that incident made Frans's people come to make a mess at her house and injure her father.

She still couldn't believe this man could stress her out even though they were so far apart.

'Did he do it on purpose so I could ask him for help?' Scarlett thought, but once again, she dismissed the possibility. Rex doesn't have much free time to do that kind of thing, does he!?

"Lie?" There was a pause before Rex continued his sentence. "What do you mean, sister? Looks like I don't have any debts to you that I haven't fulfilled, right!?"

Scarlett let out a long sigh before she said, "Why did you send people to kill that old perverted Frans? Didn't you promise me you just wanted to teach him a lesson?"

"Shit! He's dead!?" Rex was shocked. Before Scarlett could reply, Rex spoke again. "Well, I did send someone, but my message was clear, to teach him a lesson, to disable him. But now you say they killed him?"

Have times changed? Nowadays, killers are good at improvising. He wondered.

"Are you sure you didn't ask them to kill him?"

All she could hear was the uncontrollable laughter from the other end. Then Rex continued, "Scarlett if that guy died, shouldn't you be happy now that the old pervert is dead because he won't appear in front of you anymore, right? Well, in that case, you should be thanking me then…."

Scarlett's face tightened. How dare he sound happy after giving her a headache.

She thought he was lying, but at least she knew, judging by his tone, that this man honestly told the truth. He had no intention of killing Frans — maybe this was just a mistake in the field.

"Happy? I suppose you might be wrong, brother. You're causing me even more trouble!"

"What happened? Did someone mess with you again? Who? Let me send someone to kill them!" There was no teasing in his tone, just seriousness, and concern.

Scarlett couldn't help but be angry at him, "Oh my god! Mr. Rex Morrison, can you leave me alone? Please, please... don't get involved with my problem here."

"Chill, girl!" Rex was surprised to hear she was angry.

"I'll take care of everything here, don't worry about me. I guarantee I can handle my own matters, so you have to trust me, okay!?"

Scarlett felt exhausted talking to him, but she needed to warn him. Because if this man did something, he might trigger another problem for her. And she will have more headaches.

"Alright, I understand. But I'm serious about asking; Did something bad happen there?" Rex realized this girl would not call him in the early morning if there wasn't anything important.

"Nope! Nothing..." She didn't want to tell him about her father's condition. If this man knew, he might come to Island B to make a scene.

"Are you sure?"

"Yupe!"

"Okay, is there anything else you want to talk about?" Rex asked.

Actually, there was something Scarlett wanted to talk to him about, but strangely she suddenly forgot. After a few seconds, she pondered, and finally, she recalled.

"Brother, I have..."

"What is it?"

"Why did you tell Grandpa that we are engaged?" Scarlett asked calmly.

Beep!

"H-He ended the call?" Scarlett couldn't believe the man had just run away. Before Scarlett wanted to re-dial his number, she heard someone knocking on the door.

While in Manhattan...

After talking to Scarlett, Rex called someone.

He was sure there was something Scarlett was hiding from him.

"Check what happened on island B, Country X. And gather the people in charge of the mission to the usual places. Do it now!"

After talking to the person, Rex threw his cell phone on the bed and went into the bathroom. He needed to teach a sure moron!

An hour later, in a very secluded empty warehouse. Rex stood in the middle of the room. There were two tall youths with long blonde hair standing a few steps in front of him.

"Have you completed the mission on island B?" His eyes were sharp on the two men.

"Yes, Sir!" They answered in unison, and there was a glint of pride in their eyes for meeting this legendary man. Their idol in this field.

"This is your first mission?"

"Yes, Sir!"

"Good! This will also be your last mission." Rex said. A gun appeared in his hand. Without batting an eye, he shot them in the temple.

After the two idiots fell on the floor, lifeless. He motioned for someone to clear the area and then left the scene.
