The Billionaire's Genius Wife

"Rex Morrison?" Patrick snapped at Rex. "Why are you covering your little sister's mouth!?" He narrowed his eyes at Rex, but Rex ignored him, walking to a corner and avoiding them.

"See, Grandpa! Brother Rex is getting weirder, right?" Scarlett said, sending a faint smile at Rex.

Rex just responded with a sharp gaze as if he wanted to say with his gaze, "How childish!"

Scarlett rolls her eyes and turns her gaze again to Grandpa Morrison.

"Yes, you're right. I can see that. Don't worry, little Scarlett. I'll talk to his mother and ask her to scold him," Patrick said as he sat on the sofa.

Rex could only shake his head, watching them plot against him. This is why he never wanted to bring his grandpa or the rest of his family to meet Scarlett because they would side with her over him. At first, he didn't mind, but he felt they were too much over time.

When Rex's eyes fell on Seven, he called him, and they started talking in the corner.

...

Meanwhile, Scarlett started chatting with Patrick Morrison.

"Scarlett, I heard from Rex that you finally found your father?" Patrick Morrison was curious because Rex hadn't given him any details, only mentioning that Scarlett had reunited with her biological father.

"Yes, Grandpa. I finally found him," she smiled at Grandpa Morrison. "I will introduce you to him. Coincidentally, he came with me here," she said.

"Really!? Fantastic... I want to know who your father is," Patrick was excited to meet Scarlett's father.

Scarlett turned to Logan and asked him to call her father to join them so she could introduce Grandpa Morrison to him.

"Scarlett..." Patrick couldn't help but ask, "Tell me, who is your father... is he a businessman?"

"No."

"Office worker?"

Scarlett shook her head again.

"Professional or teacher?"

"No!"

"Huh!? Then what?" Patrick asked, his worry growing. Scarlett's father was not a good person; one day, he would only create trouble for Scarlett. "Don't tell me that your father was a mafia leader?" his voice turned stiff.

Scarlett, "..."

She was momentarily silent, thinking about the correct answer to Grandpa Morrison's question. After a while, she said, "My father retired several years ago."

"Ah, so he's retired now," Patrick nodded slowly, feeling relief. At least Scarlett's father had worked.

"Is he a civilian or military retiree?"

"Neither," Scarlett shook her head slowly and found it amusing to see Grandpa Morrison frown. He looked increasingly afraid Scarlett's father might be a mafia or a cartel.

"Mmm... Grandpa, well, my father was a former—" Before Scarlett could finish her sentence, she heard footsteps from behind.

Scarlett immediately turned back and saw her father walking into the family room, followed by Albert, his butler, walking with Logan.

"Father," Scarlett stood up and smiled at him. "I want to introduce someone to you..." Then she noticed Grandpa Morrison standing and was surprised by his reaction.

"Grandpa, this is my father—"

"Roland Gilwynn..." Patrick was shocked to see the man before him. He turned his gaze to Scarlett with a frown on his forehead and tilted his head toward her, whispering, "T-This man was your father?"

Scarlett nodded, surprised to hear Grandpa Morrison know her father's name. "Yes. You know him?"

"Of course, I know him. Even though I live several miles from this continent, I still follow the news about his kingdom," Patrick said, unable to hide his shock upon learning that this man was Scarlett's biological father.

"Hahaha, I see. Well, he is my father..."

"I can see that. You both resemble each other a lot," Patrick remarked, still astonished.

...

"Hello..." Roland said, feeling curious and confused at the same time as he saw Scarlett and the older man beside her whispering to each other, ignoring him. "Scarlett, who is this elder?"

Scarlett snapped, realizing she had been ignoring him. "Father, this is Grandpa Morrison. He is Brother Rex's grandpa," she explained.

Roland was surprised to learn this.

A few days ago, Scarlett had introduced him to Rex Morrison, a young man who happened to be her daughter's close friend. From what he had heard, Rex's family had already treated her daughter like their own. Now, meeting one of the Morrison family elders made him grateful. He wanted to thank them for caring for his daughter during her stay in the US.

"Mr. Morrison, I am so happy to meet you in person finally. Thank you for taking care of my daughter all this time," Roland sincerely said, offering a handshake to Patrick Morrison.

"Your Highness, it is an honor to meet you," Patrick said, lowering his head slightly while receiving a warm handshake from Roland Gilwynn.

"Scarlett, a nice and intelligent child, was the source of happiness for our family while she stayed in New York. You don't need to thank us, sir," Patrick continued.

"Mr. Morrison, just address me by my name, Roland. I abdicated a long time ago and wasn't involved in the royal family," Roland smiled at him, then asked Patrick and Scarlett to sit down.

Patrick Morrison felt reluctant to call Roland by his first name. Even though he has abdicated, he is still a nobleman, a former king of the big country in this land.

Roland continued to speak when he saw Patrick didn't say any words, "Mr. Morrison, because you consider my daughter Scarlett like your own family, then you can't refuse; we have become family. Don't hesitate, just call me Roland," he insisted.

"Grandpa, just follow what my father asked for," Scarlett smiled warmly at Grandpa.

"Hahaha, okay. I will call you by your name, but you can also call me Patrick."

"Uncle Patrick," Roland smiled.

"Sounds good," Patrick laughed.

Scarlett couldn't help but smile when she saw her father and Grandpa Morrison getting along so well in a short time. They had something in common: they liked to chat.

She excused herself, not wanting to disturb them, and joined Rex and Seven, sitting on the sofa on the other side.

She can see them, engrossed in their conversation.

"Brother, how's the progress of your investigation?" Scarlett was curious about Rex's team's progress in locating her mother.
