The Billionaire's Genius Wife-Chapter 509 Searching Rosalie Withers (8)

Scarlett remained silent throughout the entire journey as she headed home. The name she had heard from Daniel somehow filled her with fear about investigating further. Because if it were true, she couldn't imagine what might happen next. It was too terrifying to think about.

After leaving Fox headquarters, she prayed that her friends' suspicions were untrue. Sigh!

Now, she does need Sister Mel's permission to access the Royal Family archives immediately.

She wanted to know if that person had any involvement in her father's assassination attempt. If so, it was highly likely that this individual had hired the Withers Family Assassin Guild and continued to pursue her mother to this day.

'Mom! Please, please give me a clue... I need even the smallest hint to find you,' Scarlett prayed silently. She couldn't even remember how often she had prayed like this since arriving in this country; it had become frequent.

...

"Ma'am, you can rest now. We still have 30 minutes before we arrive..." Logan felt concerned as he observed Scarlett, who remained awake even though it was well past two in the morning. If only his master knew, he might be worried. And perhaps he was on his way to this country right now to ensure his wife's well-being.

Scarlett nodded slowly, attempting to sleep to give her eyes and mind some much-needed rest.

However...

For some unknown reason, her mind couldn't find peace. She was still filled with that person, and this happened until she arrived home. Upon reaching the second floor, Scarlett spotted Seven waiting for her, which surprised her. "Huh!? Brother Allen, are you still awake?" She asked. "I've been waiting for you," Seven responded thoughtfully, speaking in a hushed tone. "Something unusual happened inside—" he whispered, concerned that someone might overhear.

Instantly, Scarlett felt a surge of tension, thinking that the God Eyes had finally provided a new clue about her mother. "The alarm?" she asked eagerly. Seven shook his head rapidly, leaving Scarlett slightly disappointed. "No, not that alarm. But, I think... Someone breached your system. He spoke to me through the speaker. That person asked you..." Seven replied, looking puzzled. He added, "Little sister, that person was powerful enough to take control of my computer, and I could hear his voice through my speaker. I tried to fight him, but I couldn't win. He even laughed at me and told me to stop fighting..." his voice sounded confused.

Rather than feeling concerned, Scarlett burst into laughter as she observed Seven's expressions. "Brother Seven, you look so amusing right now. This is the first time I've seen you so frightened, like a ghost chasing after you..." Scarlett shook her head and proceeded into the computer room.

Seven was left speechless, watching Scarlett ignoring his report. However, he followed her into the computer room and said, "Darn! Three, you don't believe me?"

Scarlett didn't respond immediately but sat and turned on her computer. Not long after, a cheerful young man's voice greeted her.

"Hello, Ms. Scarlett Piers," the young man's voice chirped. Seven, already seated in her chair at the end, jumped in surprise.

"T-That's him..." Seven said in a hushed tone, gesturing to remind Scarlett. "This is the hacker who spoke to me, Scarlett. You have to—" His voice trailed off slowly as he saw Scarlett smiling and gesturing for him to stop talking.

'Huh!? Why does she appear so relaxed?' Seven frowned, utterly bewildered.

After seeing Seven shut his mouth tightly, she praised him with a thumbs up and returned her attention to her computer screen.

"Max, just call me Scarlett..." She playfully smiled and began typing on her keyboard. "Why did you suddenly contact me?" she asked.

"My boss tried to call you, but your cellphone is inactive, and you're likely in an area she can't reach. So, she asked me to wait for you here in case you returned and to deliver her message..." Max explained.

"Oh, really?" Scarlett suddenly felt delighted to hear that. "What did Sister Mel want to tell me?" She inquired with curiosity.

"Regarding your father, he requested permission for you to access the Royal Family database, so I'm here to inform you that you now have access."

"Perfect, Max," Scarlett said happily. "Please thank Sister Mel for me. I really appreciate her help."

"I will," Max responded. "One more thing... my boss said I can assist you if you need to search for something there."

"Really?" Scarlett's hands, which had been busy typing in an attempt to access the Royal Family database and search for that person's name, suddenly came to a halt. If Max — Mel Tan's highly intelligent AI assistant, known to have defeated many top hackers — could help her, she was confident she could quickly find what she was looking for. She felt excited.

"Yes, you can tell me what you're looking for, and I'll find it for you in no time..." Max said confidently.

"Okay, Max. I'll give you a name. Please search for anything related to this individual. Look for unusual details about him and who he may have met in the past thirty years..." Scarlett instructed.

"No worries! I'll start working on it now and get back to you soon," Max assured her confidently.

Scarlett felt elated. This was precisely what she needed. Without delay, she shared information about the person she suspected. After that, she powered down her computer, smiled, and rose from her seat.

She could sleep peacefully tonight, confident Max would efficiently complete the task. "Seven, I'm going to sleep now, and you should rest too," she said, walking toward the door.

"Scarlett, wait..." Seven hurried to follow her. "Who is that man? Why do you trust him so much?" He tried to warn her.

Scarlett paused and smiled at Seven. "Of course, I trust him."

Seven remained perplexed by her response.

Before he could question her further, Scarlett explained, "He's not human, but an AI. I'm certain... He's smarter than Brother Ten, our second hacker."

Seven gasped in shock.
