The Billionaire's Genius Wife



Scarlett suddenly froze upon hearing Maggie's question. She opened her mouth a few times, but all her words remained trapped on her lips. 

How could she teach her? 

She couldn't even force Francis to forget her!

Now, she felt regretful for making those offers. 

But now, she tried hard to find a way to help Maggie, and countless ideas appeared in her mind. 

'Should I try to force Francis to accept Maggie by revealing his dark secret? No... No... I can't do that. Francis will be angry with me. Should I promise to grant his one wish if he wants to date Maggie?' Just thinking about those ideas and successes makes her feel dizzy.

"Little sister, come on, share your tips," Maggie said. However, when she saw Scarlett didn't say anything, she quickly added, "But, if you don't want to share, it's okay. I will not force you." She smiled faintly.

Scarlett slowly turned her gaze toward Maggie. She let out another low sigh before responding, "Sister Maggie, actually, I—" Before she could finish her words, suddenly, a brilliant thought appeared. 

Her eyes lit up as she looked at Maggie, finally realizing Francis's weakness.

"Damn!! How could I forget about this!?" Scarlett said while standing from her seat and moving to the sofa beside Maggie. 

Scarlett smiled warmly while holding Maggie's hand. "Sister Maggie, let me ask you a question—" She paused when she saw Maggie's gloomy expression.

"Why do you look so sad?" Scarlett asked, confused, as she observed Maggie's startled reaction. 

"Scarlett... You..." Maggie lowered her head, looking at Scarlett's hand enveloped her hand. She held back her tears, feeling overwhelmed with happiness. 

"Huh!? What the hell... Why... are you crying!?" Scarlett said, confused, as she saw her holding back her tears and avoiding eye contact with her. 

'Was she shocked to hear me curse earlier?' Scarlett wondered. 'Goodness, this sister's heart is so soft, huh!!?'

"Sister Maggie, I apologize... If I cursed. Well... you know I grew up in America, right? Most of my friends are men there, and they like to curse each other, so sometimes I still go along with it..." Scarlett explained, blaming Rex and Seven, who sometimes talked to her like that.

Scarlett thought Maggie would understand and stop crying, but now, her cheeks were wet. It made her panic.

"Please stop, sister... Don't cry, huh!? Others might think I'm bullying you," Scarlett said while gently squeezing Maggie's hand.

Maggie, still overwhelmed by her emotions, felt amused hearing her words. She slowly lifted her head, met Scarlett's worried gaze, and smiled at her before saying, "Little sister, I didn't cry because of that... But, I was deeply moved because you sincerely accepted me—" she couldn't continue her words. She was so happy at this moment.

Scarlett, "..." 

Her words only deepened Scarlett's confusion, but she put that aside now. "Alright, stop crying. Do you still want to win Francis's heart?" she asked earnestly.

Maggie nodded hurriedly. 

"Y-Yes, of course..."

"Okay, now answer my question sincerely. Did Brother Francis ever reject you directly?"

"No."

"Good!" Scarlett smiled. "Has he ever avoided you? I mean, when you called, did he answer or not? Did he call you back? Explain to me..." Scarlett asked again. She wanted to know whether Francis did not dislike Maggie. If he did, then teaching her would be pointless.

Maggie took a moment to respond to Scarlett and reflected on her past relationship with Francis. After a moment of silence, she shook her head slowly.

"No. So far, Francis has been nice to me," Maggie said softly. "All this time, he has never rejected me; I mean... Well... I never asked him to be in a relationship."

"But why have I heard rumors that you guys are dating?"

"My friends created those rumors circulating out there," Maggie's face slowly turned red. She felt embarrassed to admit this. "I feel ashamed now because I never stopped my friends from spreading those rumors, and Francis also never made a statement about those fake rumors."

"That's good to hear," Scarlett smiled. "That's a sign that you still have a chance."

"But, Little sister Scarlett," Maggie suddenly remembered something. "—all this time, I was the one who contacted him first. I was also the one who always asked him out... Will this really help me win his heart?"

"Of course," Scarlett gently patted the back of Maggie's hand before continuing. "It doesn't matter who initiates. As long as Francis doesn't refuse, then you still have a chance to become his girlfriend..."

"Really?" She blushed.

"Hmm," A broad smile now graced Scarlett's face.

"How? Can you teach me now?"

"Listen, Sister Maggie... I want you to stop contacting Francis. Don't call or ask him to meet—" Scarlett chuckled softly when she saw Maggie's face look shocked.

"W-Why?" Maggie couldn't help but ask. She was confused now. How could she win Francis' heart if she stopped approaching him?

"Can you trust me?" Scarlett asked.

Maggie faintly nodded.

"Good! Just do as I say," Scarlett said more seriously. 

"Little sister, can you enlighten me? I'm baffled now," Maggie asked, with more and more questions swirling around her mind.

"You only have to follow my instructions, Sister Maggie..." 

Looking at Maggie's frown, Scarlett continues, "—I believe he doesn't have a girlfriend. He only has a female friend, and what I know, he is only close to you," Scarlett said. 

This is the fact that she knows about Francis. That poor man didn't have many close female friends because he was an introvert, and hearing what Maggie said, it seemed like he only had Maggie as his close friend.

"Are you sure? Because I could feel he has a woman in his heart, he never wants to open his heart to other women, including me, even though I've tried to approach him..." Maggie said helplessly.

"Sister Maggie, of course, he has a woman he's been waiting for in his heart; unfortunately, that woman is already married and firmly rejected him," Scarlett said while silently sighing, remembering the moment she told Francis everything about her marriage with Xander.
