The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Scarlett didn\'t say anything else but waited for Xander to say something. However, a few minutes passed, and Xander didn\'t say anything. He just sat quietly with a look that she couldn\'t describe in words.

That worried her, and she couldn\'t help but ask, "X-Xander, please say something! Did you hear what I said?"

...

Xander is still in shock at Scarlett\'s confession.

This was something he had not expected —someone wanted her life?

He never imagined her reason was so deep. Now, so many questions assailed his mind. But he was confused about where to start to ask her.

Xander\'s eyes met her worried look. It took him a few seconds before he could utter a word to ask her, "Baby..." His voice was gentle, but his eyes flashed with worry, "...please say this isn\'t true? You\'re just making excuses as you did before, right?"

Scarlett could only smile to answer his question. She had tried to tell him, but her honesty seemed useless.

After they fell silent while looking at each other, Xander finally realized Scarlett was telling the truth. Instantly he tensed up.

Xander\'s mind spun back to realize all the words that had ever left her mouth. Several times this girl had given him hints, but he had never taken them seriously — he thought she was joking.

All this time, Xander has always been suspicious of Scarlett\'s identity circulating out there. He has never found the latest Photo of her. All of those are photos of her before adulthood. Her face now is quite different from when she was in her early teens, especially when she wears a wig and covers the color of her eyes.

"Scarlett Piers, who are you? Why does your identity include confidential information like my identity?" Xander wanted to ask her, but he held himself.

He knew Scarlett was hiding something from him, and he didn\'t want to force her to tell the truth because he was like that too. He couldn\'t tell the truth about his identity.

Many questions now filled his mind. But one question that now seized his curiosity; Who wants her life?

He would make sure that person would perish from this world! How dare he chases after his wife?

A vicious, murderous aura immediately emerged from him. He said, "Who\'s after you? Please tell me. I\'ll make sure that person regrets what he did!"

Scarlett was stunned. This is what she is afraid of. Xander will involve himself in her battle with the maniac. And it would put his life in danger. How could she allow that?

"X-Xander, listen..." Scarlett took his hand — she was stunned because she could fill his trembling hands as if he held the anger inside him. "Sorry, I can\'t tell you who that person is. We too..." Scarlett suddenly stopped her words as she realized she had said something she shouldn\'t have said.

"WE? Who WE, do you mean?" Xander\'s voice sounded icy cold.

She could only curse herself inwardly because she talked so much. She has to stop now, or Xander will discover she is involved with The Fox. And that would make things awkward.

"Is it Rex?" Xander continued again after seeing this girl not saying any word even though her eyes tremble a lot like she was having a conflict inside her.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ Scarlett still didn\'t say any words. She could only lower her gaze to avoid his burning gaze.

Before long, Scarlett could hear Xander let out a deep sigh. Then he said, "Okay, I understand you can\'t tell me the truth, but please tell me, does Rex know about someone chasing you?" his desperate voice could make Scarlett slowly raise her head and meet his eyes.

Her hands were tightly clenched before she said, "I\'m sorry if I couldn\'t be frank with you. But believe me, I did it for the safety of many people. And, you should know, I\'m being honest with you right now because I was hoping you could make sure people around you who know about my appearance won\'t reveal my secret. Because it could put them and me in danger!"

Xander was stunned.

"I promise you to make sure they\'ll never see you!" Xander agrees with her. Now he begins to regret what he has done these past months, forcing her to appear without her disguise in public places.

"Thank you, Xander!" Scarlett smiles sweetly at him and holds his hand again. She could see through his eyes that he felt terrible right now.

"Baby, what about your trail in Swan Lake Town?" Xander now felt regretful because she didn\'t wear her wig at all during their trip, and many people saw her appearance.

She smiled at him, saying, "Don\'t worry, I\'ve taken care of it. My trail is safe..."

"Oh, what a relief!" Xander pulled her into his arms and rubbed her back lovingly, but a second later, something crossed his mind. He suddenly let go of her and looked into her eyes, "Photo! Your Photo when we got married at the civil registry office..."

He now felt angry with himself. Because that day, he deliberately took many photos of them because he was happy that Scarlett didn\'t use a wig and appeared as she was.

Scarlett smiled, seeing Xander\'s panicked expression. She said, "If you check the folders on your laptop now, you won\'t find anything. I\'ve already taken care of that too. So, Mr. Riley, I\'m sorry I did this without your knowledge..." A mischievous smile appeared on her lips.

"Y-You did?" He was speechless. At that time, he deliberately kept their Photo as a reminder if they later divorced. Luckily, that won\'t happen because they agree to have this wedding for real.

"Haha, yes! But I didn\'t burn the photos you printed and kept in your office in our house. That\'s the only remaining Photo left from when we got married." Scarlett smiled at his shocked expression.

"Ah, and there is, in the civil registry, but it\'s a small version, so I guess it will be safe. Besides, no one can see them if they try to hack into the registry office database. I provide protection in our marriage information." She continued.

Xander opened his mouth several times, but not a single sentence left his lips. He could only feel proud to have a hacker\'s wife.
