The Billionaire's Genius Wife-Chapter 424 Xander Meet Other Fox Members

While Scarlett and Rex engaged in conversation, the meeting room door suddenly swung open, causing them to pause and turn their attention to the entrance. To Scarlett's surprise, Twelve enters with Seven behind him.

"Scarlett! Oh my, it's been too long! I've almost forgotten the last time I saw you." Twelve said playfully, a wide grin spreading across his face as he approached her, seemingly aiming for a warm hug. However, Rex swiftly intervened, pulling Twelve away from Scarlett.

"If you want to meet your doom, go ahead and embrace her!" Rex retorted coldly, taking his place beside Scarlett, who found the situation rather amusing.

Twelve looks confused by Rex's protective attitude toward Scarlett. "What do you mean, Rex? Why so rude?" he asked curiously.

"Twelve, my man," Seven interjected, gesturing to Twelve to sit across from Scarlett and Rex. "Her husband is incredibly jealous. You'd better avoid any physical contact with her."

A wry smile tugged at Twelve's lips. "Where is he then? I'd love to meet the man who could steal the heart of our goddess," he remarked with curiosity. After all, even Rex, who was both handsome and wealthy, had failed to capture Scarlett's heart. 𝙗𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎

"You can meet him later. He's in my room upstairs," Scarlett replied with a faint smile. She continued, "Bro Twelve, thank you so much for helping Carter..." Her voice trailed off, imagining Carter's current condition. The sadness inside her always welled up whenever she thought about him.

"I only did as I was told. You should thank Rex. He was the one who assigned me," Twelve, glancing at Rex. "By the way, how's our poor lad's condition?" He asked curiously.

Scarlett sighed deeply before explaining Carter's ongoing medical treatment and their plan to bring him to M Country. Her sadness was palpable as she talked about her brother-in-law's harrowing journey to recovery. Seven and Rex listened intently. They could feel how sad Scarlett was now.

"Little sister, you don't need to worry," Rex said, glancing at Scarlett beside him, "Doctor Robert surely can help him live a normal life again. He is a Divine Doctor, after all..." he tried to offer some reassurance in his words.

"Scarlett, what Rex said is true. Your brother-in-law will definitely recover soon," Seven said, attempting to console Scarlett.

Twelve remained silent, his smile at her carrying a touch of sadness. He knew all too well the severity of Carter's injuries. He foresaw the possibility that Carter might never lead a normal life again.

"Thank you," Scarlett responded weakly, trying to adjust her emotions.

After a few moments passed by, she took a deep breath, pushing her worries about Carter aside. Something else was more pressing on her mind—her plans for tomorrow. She couldn't contain her feelings any longer; she was determined to make Jude Withers' life miserable.

Scarlett turned her gaze to Seven before asking, "By the way, where is Brother Nine?" She wanted to ensure her plans for tomorrow would proceed smoothly and required Nine's assistance in preparing something crucial.

"He's in his lab, busy preparing the potions you need," Seven obediently informed her.

Satisfied with the answer, she looked at Rex, "Brother, I've already made plans with Seven. If you want to get involved, talk to him, but there's no need to bring a lot of resources. Tomorrow, this country's Special Forces will assist us; they plan to wipe out the Withers' underground business due to its impact on this country's stability. We don't need to interfere."

"I know," said Rex, "Seven has explained everything to me. I agree with you; we won't involve ourselves in this operation. We'll simply observe and stand by in case you need us."

"Thank you, Brother Rex," Scarlett smiled warmly at him. Knowing that Rex and the others would be there to support her brought her a sense of comfort.

After a few more minutes of conversation, Scarlett excused herself. She had left Xander upstairs for too long and worried her husband might feel bored.

Before Scarlett could leave the room, her steps came to a halt when she heard Twelve calling out, "Scarlett, wait."

"Yes?" Scarlett stopped and looked back at Twelve.

"You promised to introduce your husband to me," he said, rising from his seat. "I'm curious to meet him in person." He sincerely said.

"Oh, do you want to meet him now? Okay. Let's go," Scarlett calmly replied and left the room.

"Wait. Me too... I want to meet Xander Riley," Seven chimed in playfully, following them. Rex didn't want to be left alone in the room, so he immediately joined them as well.

...

Soon they all arrived at the living room.

"Alright, you guys wait here," Scarlett said, gesturing for them to stay in the living room while she went upstairs to get Xander.

Upon entering the room, she was taken aback to find Xander fast asleep on the bed. She just noticed how Xander looked so tired.

She stood at the edge of the bed, observing Xander as he peacefully slept—something she rarely witnessed. Usually, he would only rest after she fell asleep and wake up before her.

Xander must be exhausted. He's been flying for so long, and when he got here, he was immediately busy taking care of tomorrow's mission.

Scarlett couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She could imagine the weariness he endured—flying to country W and then rushing to join her in this country. More than 30 hours in the air must be very tiring.

Her guilt grows, knowing that her family problems have caused Xander to dedicate so much time to her, neglecting his own office matters. Gently, she lowered herself to sit on the edge of the bed, gazing at her husband's face with love.

'Xander, I'm sorry. I promise to take care of you once we settle matters with the Withers family. I'll stay by your side and accompany you wherever you go,' she vowed silently, determined to make it up to him.

She had considered slowing her plan to find her mother, wanting to enjoy her pregnancy while helping Carter recover from his injury. She was confident that once her mother learned Withers was no longer a threat, her mother would come out of her hiding and look please find me once I've cleared the path for you. I'll be waiting for you in Country M. For a few months, I'll stay there to help Carter...' for her.

'Mom, I'll remove the obstacles you're facing now. But promise me, please find me once I've cleared the path for you. I'll be waiting for you in Country M. For a few months, I'll stay there to help Carter...' She silently talks to herself.

As Scarlett was lost in her own thoughts, she suddenly felt a warm hand gently touch hers. She looked at Xander and saw his calm gaze and warm smile.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Xander asked, waking up and sitting beside her.

"You were sleeping so peacefully," she replied, returning his smile.

"Baby, it's already late," Xander said while glancing at the darkening sky through the window. "Do you want to go home now?"

"Hmm, let's go home," Scarlett said.

...

Scarlett and Xander went down the stairs quickly. As they entered the living room, she was taken aback to find the three men in the room glaring at her as if they wanted to read her mind with their eyes. The guilt weighed heavily on her, realizing she had made a mistake this time.

'Gosh! How could I forget about them?' She scolded herself inwardly. She should have informed them that she needed some time because she couldn't bear to disturb Xander's nap.

"Tsk! Tsk! Scarlett, you're so heartless. How could you make out upstairs with your husband and forget all about us here?" Rex's words irritated her, causing her cheeks to flush. Annoyed, she tightened her grip on Xander's arm, glaring at Rex.

"We didn't do anything like that, brother! Xander was sleeping, and..." she started to explain.

"Baby, you don't have to answer that," Xander intervened, rubbing her back gently. He knew of her recent emotional instability and how easily she got upset.

"Rex, sorry for keeping you waiting here," Xander apologized while looking at Rex. "We won't disturb you any longer. Let's excuse ourselves." He glanced at Scarlett and said, "Babe, let's go home now..." He gently guided her out of the room.

However, as they took a few steps, Scarlett stopped abruptly. "Xander, wait..." She knew she needed to introduce Xander to Twelve and Seven, or else this duo would protest later. "I want you to meet my friends," she told Xander, who seemed a little frown looking at her.

Not waiting for Xander to say anything, she immediately introduced them, "Xander, this is my friend who helped Carter. His name is Daniel Kang," she said, then turned her innocent gaze to Twelve, "Daniel, this is Xander, my husband."

Xander was pleasantly surprised to see the man who had saved Carter in this place. He hurriedly offered his hand for a handshake.

"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Kang," Xander said sincerely.

Xander felt a sense of gratitude towards Daniel. It was Daniel who had called for a helicopter to transport Carter to the hospital, ultimately saving his life. The doctor had informed Xander that if they had arrived even a few minutes later, Carter may not have survived.
