The Billionaire's Genius Wife



"Did this person send it to the wrong number?" she muttered slowly.

Before she could investigate the number and trace its sender, the door swung open again.

Scarlett saw Rex enter the room, followed by Xander and Theodor.

...

Xander sensed something was amiss when he noticed Rex's intention to speak with Scarlett alone. And when he saw Rex leaving the room calling them in, it made him more sure and worried at the same time — something had happened to his wife.

"Babe," Xander smiled as he sat beside her, leaning his head closer before speaking in a hushed tone, "Is everything alright?"

Scarlett smiled back at him before revealing the truth about the DNA test with her father.

Xander was utterly speechless—he had never imagined that her father was none other than Roland Gylwinn.

"B-Babe, a-are you sure about that?"

Scarlett couldn't help but laugh at Xander's expression as his expression mirrored her own.

"Well, yes... Theodor and Alex conducted DNA tests using samples from Roland Gilwynn and me, and the result confirmed that he is indeed my father," She replied with a deep sigh. "I never imagined my mother would have any connection with that man..." 

Scarlett was overwhelmed with conflicting emotions. Finding her father brought a mix of joy, fear, and shame. Knowing he had a family while she was born added to her distress. The fact that he held a high status in the country only intensified her feelings of unease.

Xander reached out and gently squeezed her hand, understanding the mess she was in. 

"Have you decided whether you want to meet him or not?" Xander asked, his voice filled with concern.

"Yeah, that's why I need Theodor to find a way for me to meet him," she said, her gaze shifting towards Theodor.

Scarlett felt deeply disappointed in Theodor. He was supposed to be her confidant, the one who promised to be her loyal person, her loyal slave, but this man betrayed her. 

How could he have kept such an important secret from her? 

The fact that he conspired with Rex to conduct a DNA test only adds to her sense of betrayal. She couldn't help but contemplate how she would punish him for his actions.

"Why didn't you tell me about this, Theodor?" Scarlett scolded him, her voice filled with hurt and anger.

Theodor was well aware that Scarlett would be furious with him, and he couldn't avoid the consequences. All he could do was apologize sincerely.

"Boss, I'm really sorry. I never intended to keep this from you," Theodor stared back at her gaze. "I hesitated to tell you because I was afraid it would upset you. That's why I hoped you would come to the birthday party..." His words trailed off as he noticed Scarlett and Xander's piercing gazes fixed upon him. 

He swallowed nervously, sensing their anger.

Scarlett remained silent, her frustration growing. She wanted to signal to Theodor to stop talking. Still, he continued to divulge their secrets, calling her Boss while Xander was in the room.  I think you should take a look at

'Heaven! If I had to look at this stupid Theodor face for another second, my emotions would've gone out of control.' She turns her gaze to her cell phone, trying to calm her temper. 

"Please, Boss, don't be angry with me. I only wanted to help you. And, hey, you can't stay mad at me, Boss. We're family now, you are my cousins! Hahaha..." Theodor exclaimed with a loud laugh, attempting to ease the tension.

Then, Theodor turned to Xander, a sense of pride could be seen through his expression. 

"Xander, my friend, you should call me...  brother-in-law. Your wife is my real sister," Theodor declared triumphantly. It was the first time he could boast to Xander, reveling in their newfound familial connection.

Xander's gaze remained sharp as he stared at Theodor sitting opposite him. He couldn't understand why Theodor referred to Scarlett as "boss." When did Theodor start working for Scarlett? Why was he unaware of this?

"Theo, before I address you as my brother-in-law," Xander's voice held a serious tone, "...you should explain to me why you call my wife 'boss'?" His Eyes twitched in annoyance.

Theodor's body tensed up in an instant, realizing he had made yet another grave mistake. He cursed himself internally, wishing he could retract his words.

'What the heck, Theo!' He scolded himself, frustrated with his careless remarks. 

His eyes darted towards Scarlett, hoping for her assistance in diverting Xander's attention from the question. However, this time Scarlett seemed to ignore him completely, engrossed in her cell phone.

'What on earth, Boss! You're supposed to help me here!?' Theodor inwardly screamed, attempting to maintain a smile before Xander.

"Hahaha, you must have misheard, man..." Theodor blurted out in an attempt to dismiss the question. However, Xander wasn't convinced and persisted in asking for an explanation.

"I'm not a five-year-old to be fooled, Theo!" Xander retorted coldly.

Theodor froze in his seat, completely speechless. After a brief moment of contemplation, he decided it was futile to hide the truth any longer. He would reveal his identity as the one who pursued Scarlett a year ago, prepared to face Xander's wrath if the man discovered his involvement in making Scarlett's life miserable.

With a deep breath, Theodor gathered the courage to speak, "X-Xander... Actually... I..."

"Xander. Now is not the right time for such questions," Rex chimed in, coming to save Theodor, who was about to reveal his secret.

Scarlett and Theodor turned their gaze towards Rex, their eyes filled with awe, particularly Theodor. He silently expressed his gratitude to Rex for stepping in and saving him.

However, Xander's displeasure was evident as he frowned at Rex.

"There's a big problem here, Xander..." Rex tries to convince Xander to refocus on Scarlett's status issues.

"What do you mean?" Xander asked, a sense of unease settling within him upon hearing Rex's words.

"Scarlett's life could be in danger if her identity as Roland Gilwynn's illegitimate child is exposed to the royal family and the media..." Rex disclosed.

Xander flinched immediately upon grasping the gravity of the situation.
