The Billionaire's Genius Wife

After a few minutes, Scarlett finally saw a beautiful house on the hill.

She could guess it was the house they were going to. Because there was only one house that she could see from afar. The house stood alone at the highest point in the Pearl Garden.

Scarlett couldn't wait to see how it looked up there. It must be much more beautiful than what she saw along the way.

Soon their car passed through the big black gate. Several guards in black combat uniforms stood near the entrance as their vehicles entered the area.

Scarlett could see the Glocks hanging from their hips. With one glance she could tell that all of these guards were highly trained. They weren't ordinary guards, but perhaps their skills matched that of special forces — their posture looked more like active military personnel than security guards.

Suddenly, Scarlett felt goosebumps after seeing these guards.

Why does Xander need these people to look after his house?

She stole a glance at him. He was still busy reading something on his iPad.

One thing Scarlett can understand about Xander is he is a hard worker. She never saw him idle. He is always reading something or talking on the phone.

Scarlett put aside her curiosity about the guard. She shifted her gaze to look outside.

Beautiful gardens unfold as far as her eye can see. The road that their car passed was flanked by beautiful Spartan Junior trees.

And soon...

Her line of sight stopped at a two-story white house with a modern fa?ade, standing firmly at the end of the street. The place looked elongated with a garden that was no less beautiful than the one she had seen along the way.

As the car approached the house's front yard, Scarlett was surprised to see a dozen staff members in black and white uniforms lined up at the main door, forming a path for them to pass. The whole scene surprised her.

'Do they do this every time Xander comes home?'

Scarlett was utterly amazed by Xander's luxurious lifestyle. This man knows how to use his money. He is the second person she knows who has a lifestyle like this.

She felt amused. How could she get involved with both of them!?

Just thinking about the other guy made her feel dizzy.

'Does his family live in this house too?'

Instantly Scarlett's body froze. She never imagined she would meet Xander's family. She had completely forgotten about them. Now she was distraught by that possibility.

'Will they accept me as their daughter-in-law?'

Scarlett looked at Xander and wanted to ask him, but the man was no longer by her side. Just as she was about to ask the driver, she felt the car door beside her open.

A look of surprise flashed across her eyes, but in the end, she smiled when she saw Xander open the car door for her. His hand was outstretched to her.

Is she dreaming? This cold man turns out to have a gentle side too. How sweet.

Scarlett bites her inner lips — trying to hold her word escape from her lips to praise him. She can't fall for his sweet gesture.

"Babe, my hands are numb… can't you get out faster?" Xander's impatience tone reached Scarlett's ears. But, as if lightning had struck her, she froze, hearing this ice prince call her 'Babe.'

Babe?

Did she hear wrong?

Scarlett met his eyes, but the irritation was clear from them.

'Ha-ha-ha, of course, I heard wrong… There's no way this guy would call me like that, right!?'

She immediately raised her hand and touched his hand. Suddenly her heart raced. It was as if electricity ran through her body when their hands touched. She felt Xander's warmth immediately spread throughout her body.

"Thank you!" Scarlett quietly said while standing right beside him.

Xander didn't say anything but he started walking. He stopped when a tall, middle-aged man approached him.

"Master..." Paul Kane respectfully greeted Xander.

"Paul, this is my wife. From now on, she will be the madam in this house."

Paul Kane was shocked.

Instantly countless questions filled Paul Kane's mind.

Is Master Xander getting married? Since when? How come he never knew about it?

But, even though Paul's mind was now filled with many questions, not a single word left his lips because, as a butler, he could only take orders without asking back.

"Yes sir, I will," said Paul. He looked at the woman standing beside his Master.

The woman looks beautiful but has a bold style; her hair is like a teenager, a pixie cut with a gray tint. She also wears bold red lipstick. 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍．𝙘𝒐𝙢

One thing that Paul noticed the most from her — she had a calm and dignified aura. In contrast to the woman his Master invited to visit the 'White Mansion,' they become noisy when they look at how grand and luxurious this house is. But this woman is different. She looked cautious but unimpressed as if she was used to seeing a similar grandiose place staffed with many people.

"Young Madam, welcome to the White Mansion. I am Paul Kane, the butler of this mansion." He said while lowering his head to avoid eye contact for too long. Afraid that his Master would be mad.

"Hello, Mr. Kane. Nice to meet you." Scarlett politely smiled at him, but at the same time, she felt a chill run down her spine. She turned to look at Xander, the source of the chill. She was stunned.

'Why does this man look angry?'

Scarlett felt the air around them drop to zero, and Paul thought it too. He cleared his throat before saying, "Please call me by my first name, young madam... Just by my first name." There was fear in his tone.

Paul Kane knew his Master was angry because the young madam was smiling at him.

'Young madam, please don't smile at me so easily. Or master will kill me…' he pleaded silently in his heart.

Scarlett nodded with a beautiful smile framing her face.

Paul's body stiffened.

He immediately lowered his head to avoid eye contact with the young madam.

'Lord! Please protect me from my Master's wrath!' Paul felt helpless.
