The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Chapter 492 Finding Rosalie Withers' Trace



Scarlett's heart pounded upon hearing that. If the recording was from two years ago, it meant her mother was still alive.

"S-Sister M-Mel, are you sure about that?" Her voice shook with excitement at this new information.

"I can't guarantee one hundred percent accuracy that the woman was your mother, but I'm pretty sure she is. To clarify, we must send someone to Norway to check the woman's identity in the local database. Because you know your mother used a fake identity, it isn't easy to investigate. And, I hope someone will start searching there so we don't rely solely on technology," Mel explained.

"I see. I'll fly there..." said Scarlett. She was the right person to trace her mother because she understood how her mother thought.

"Are you sure, Scarlett?" Mel asked, surprised to hear that Scarlett would go there directly. "If I may suggest, I think sending a professional investigator would be a better idea."

"Thank you, sis. I am capable of handling this—" Scarlett paused. She couldn't reveal her involvement with The Fox, and she could also guess that Mel had not yet discovered her other identity.

"That's great to hear, Scarlett. Now, I'm confident you will find your mother soon. Alright, I will send you the details of the information I found out and give you access to my technology. You can use it to trace that face. I believe you will succeed in finding her," Mel explained.

"Thank you, Sister Mel. I will visit you at X if I find my mother..." Scarlett was grateful to know Mel Tan and hoped to continue being friends with such an intelligent, kind woman like her.

"Call me when you arrive. Goodbye, Scarlett," Mel said.

After the phone call ended, someone came to their room and informed them that lunch was ready.

However, Xander and Scarlett didn't go down immediately. They stopped at the end of the stairs before going down.

Xander stared at Scarlett, aware she had decided to go directly to Norway to investigate. "Baby, do you need my help? I can lend you a few of my people to trace her," Xander offered.

Scarlett shook her head hurriedly to respond to Xander, "For now, it's unnecessary. I will use FOX... I guess Rex will be happy. From what I've heard from the others, my silly brother Rex was getting bored because I moved to Europe, and his girlfriend is currently filming on this continent too..."

Xander couldn't help but laugh upon hearing her words. "You know what, babe? I've actually started to forget about him."

"Hahaha, me too. Because, lately, I've been avoiding talking to him. I never accepted his calls; I just exchanged texts with him." Scarlett took a deep breath, feeling guilty for Rex. "I should call him later. He'll be thrilled if he knows I need his help."

"Hmm, I agree. That way, Rex will have a reason to fly here to meet you and his girlfriend," Xander said. He would be okay with Rex joining them. He knew Rex could make his wife laugh. As long as his wife was happy, he supported whatever she wanted.

Scarlett started to feel uneasy when she saw how composed Xander was, knowing that she might fly to Norway in a few days and possibly stay there for a few weeks or even months.

"Xander, I'll probably be flying to Norway in a few days and may have to stay there for a while," She paused while looking at his expression. She continued when she saw him smile at her but remained silent. "I hope you can understand. And if you—"

"Baby, I have no objection to that, no worries. Besides, we are still on the same continent. I can fly there if my work around here is done or fly there every weekend. Or, you can also come back here anytime; it only takes a few hours to fly, right?" He said while pulling her into his arms and tightening his hug to make her feel better.

Scarlett returned his embrace while placing her hand around his waist.

"Thank you, hubby. You are the best husband in the world—" Scarlett's words stopped when she saw her father standing at the end of the stairs down there, staring at them with his sharp gaze.

She immediately released her arms while grinning at her father.

"F-Father—"

"Scarlett, Xander, can you guys move a little bit faster? The food will turn cold if you guys don't come down now," Roland smiled before continuing. "You can continue your romance later after lunch..." He walked toward the dining room, leaving the couple stunned.

Scarlett, "..."

Xander, "..."

****

When Scarlett and Xander arrived at the dining room, they were surprised to see Simon and Maggie already sitting at the dining table.

Scarlett had no idea that they would be joining them for lunch. She would have come down earlier to chat with them if she had known. She quickened her step and greeted Simon politely and also Maggie.

Then Scarlett looked at Roland after she sat, "Father, you should have told me that brother Simon and sister Maggie would join us..." She protested.

"Scarlett, Father didn't invite us for lunch," Maggie answered, narrowing her eyes at her father. "We came here when we knew you were coming early."

"Maggie's right, Scarlett," this time Simon chimed in. "It seems like... Dad is starting to forget us; he only cares about you—" Simon said in a pitiful tone, but Scarlett knew that Simon and Maggie were just pulling her leg. She could see the teasing smiles in their eyes.

"Yeah, father, don't love us anymore..." Maggie joined in the playful banter.

Scarlett smiled faintly, looking at these two. She knew Maggie had a playful and shameless side, but she never expected Simon to be just as mischievous. Just as Scarlett was about to join the fun and tease their father, she heard him speak up.

"What are you guys trying to do? Simon, Maggie, stop saying those words... and stop manipulating your little sister!" Roland couldn't help scolding them, and then he turned his gaze to Scarlett, smiling before saying, "Scarlett, don't mind them..."
