The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Chapter 514 Searching Rosalie Withers (13)

After speaking with her father, Scarlett hurriedly exited the room and asked Logan to follow her. Time was of the essence, considering she had to arrange her father's return to the Royal City and her own plans to travel to Svalbard.

As she reached the second floor, she invited Seven to join them, her eyes fixed on them seated across from her.

"Logan, I need you to accompany my father back to Royal City," Scarlett stated firmly, her pause prompted by Logan's hesitant expression as if he was reluctant to comply. "I'm not seeking your permission, Logan, but rather issuing an order that cannot be refused."

"But, young madam... How could I leave you behind? Your safety is my primary concern." Logan refused to return to the Royal City because Xander had already told him to guard her. Scarlett sighed deeply and countered, "I'm also entrusting you to ensure my father's safety. Xander will be arriving here..." She checked her watch, then continued, "Perhaps in less than an hour. And, once Xander is here, he will look after me; you don't need to worry about it." "Now, please cease resisting my orders. Check the arrival time of Xander's plane and use it to return to Royal City. And, bring James with you." She said,

Logan appeared perplexed as he inquired, "Why? Wouldn't it suffice for your father's royal guard to accompany me? Why must James return with us?"

Scarlett sighed once more. She acknowledged that her father's Royal Guard was formidable. Yet, she needed someone she trusted nearby to provide her with regular updates about her father's well-being.

"Logan, in the upcoming days, a critical situation may unfold in Royal City, jeopardizing my father's safety. I'm entrusting him to your care, and you could update me if anything happens there. Also, James will assist you to do something outside if I need anything..." she stressed.

Logan's face tightened as he grasped the gravity of the situation, and he promptly nodded in agreement, signifying his willingness to accept the task.

"Yes, Young Madam. I will carry out your orders."

"Thank you, Logan," Scarlett expressed with a contented smile as she watched him depart.

When Scarlett turned her gaze to Seven, she found his eyes filled with shock.

"Something happened to your father? Why did he have to return to Royal City!?" He asked. She nodded, explaining, "His illness has relapsed, and he needs to undergo a series of tests and treatments in Royal City. I don't have a choice but to send him back..." She said calmly, but Seven could see how worried she was through her gaze. "I'm so sorry to hear that, Scarlett," Seven expressed his sympathy.

Seven knew Scarlett quite well. She always appeared strong, but inside, she wasn't. He had witnessed this vulnerability when her family and loved ones on B Island were tragically killed. He could only imagine the turmoil she must be experiencing now.

"Thank you, brother Allen," she faintly smiled. "Everything will be okay. That old man won't meet the same fate as Jonathan..." A forced smile tugged at the corner of her lips.

"He won't," Seven mirrored her smile.

After composing her thoughts, she inquired about the plan to travel to Svalbard. Seven immediately updated her, "I've talked to Rex. He already sent a team to the island for an investigation and made preparations for our departure tomorrow morning..."

Scarlett felt a profound gratitude for Rex. He was incredibly efficient and seemed to possess an uncanny ability to anticipate her needs.

"Alright, thank you, Seven. Now, please return to the control room. If you discover anything, let me know. I'm going back to my father's room." She rose from her seat.

"Go ahead, and don't worry about anything. I'll keep you informed—

stay with your father," Seven assured her, hurrying into the computer room.

Once Scarlett saw Seven enter the computer room, she took out her cell phone and opened a specialized application. She began searching for a Fox field agent in Royal City, someone she needed to track Allaistar Parker and Theodor Parker.

Though Scarlett trusted Theodor, she decided to keep an eye on him just in case someone tried to exploit him again and pose a threat to her.

**** When Scarlett descended the stairs, she encountered Logan, who had just concluded a phone call.

"Ma'am, your timing couldn't be better," Logan approached Scarlett with a wide smile. "I've just finished talking to Master Xander. He had just arrived and was heading here. I already informed him about your father's situation."

"Wow, thank you for the update, Logan," Scarlett said. She feels relieved Xander is finally on his way here. She wanted to talk to Xander so badly about everything now occupying her mind, tormenting her.

If she didn't express her worry to someone soon, her anxiety might push her to the brink of a mental breakdown.

Gosh! Why was it that all these issues appeared at once? Her father's illness, a significant clue about her mother's whereabouts, and the revelation about Allaistar Parker.

"And Master Xander is aware that we'll be using his jet to return to Royal City," Logan added. "He already asked them to prepare for our departure."

"Good. I'll inform my father... Logan, you can take care of the other arrangements," Scarlett instructed.

"Yes, ma'am." Logan nodded respectfully and promptly left the room.

Scarlett proceeded to her father's room and delivered the news. They should leave the house within one hour and fly immediately to Royal City. After finishing talking to her father, Scarlett returned to the living room. She called Simon Gilwynn to inform him about their father's abrupt return.

On the second ring, Simon immediately answered Scarlett's call.

"Where are you, brother?" Scarlett asked, ignoring Simon's warm greeting.

"In my bedroom, why?"

Beep!

Scarlett ended the call. With her cell phone, she took control of the internet connection in Simon's room, determined to speak with him directly.

This was a crucial matter concerning the Royal Family's stability. And for that, Simon had a rightful claim to know, as he was now the ruler of the M Country.
