The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Chapter 515 Talk To Simon About Allaistar Parker

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.

While in the Royal city, Simon felt deeply confused as Scarlett abruptly ended their call. He gazed blankly at his cell phone screen, which had suddenly gone dark.

"Why did she call me just to hang up!? Did something happen in Oslo!?" A wave of worry surged through his mind. When he was just about to dial Scarlett's number, the flat-screen TV in his room unexpectedly powered itself on.

Startled by this eerie turn of events, he fixed his gaze on the television and was rendered speechless when Scarlett's face appeared on the screen. "Sister Scarlett!?"

"Oh... my God!" Scarlett, who had just remotely hacked the TV in Simon's bedroom, appeared equally shocked, her eyes locked onto him, almost naked, with a white towel barely covering his lower body. It was evident he had just stepped out of the shower. After seeing Simon's alluring physique, Scarlett quickly averted her gaze.

"For heaven's sake, brother Simon, please wear some clothes. Why aren't you wearing anything? Goodness!" Scarlett couldn't help but scold him.

Simon was left speechless. He had just finished showering, and this girl suddenly appeared on his TV screen, scolding him. Seeing how adorable she was, he couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Brother, I know you have an attractive physique... Well... it's pretty hot, but my husband is even more attractive than you," Scarlett continued, glancing at her cell phone screen to see Simon still standing there.

Simon, unable to think of a suitable response, simply remained silent. Not wanting to entertain any potentially embarrassing remarks, he hastily reached for his night robe on the bed and wrapped it around himself.

"There, I'm covered now. You can look at me," Simon chuckled, observing Scarlett peeking out. When their eyes met, he decided to address her comment. "Did you hack into the network in this house?" A look of confusion passed through his gaze.

Scarlett swallowed hard. With each person who learned about her hacking skills, her secret became more exposed. But the situation was urgent now, and she had no choice but to reveal her abilities to him.

"Brother, I apologize for this," she said with guilt, "but I'll explain later. You need to know more pressing matters right now, brother." Scarlett's expression slowly darkened, and her eyes lost their usual light as she continued, "Is your room a secure place for us to talk? I mean, could anyone overhear us?"

A faint crease formed on Simon's forehead, and his confusion flashed through his eyes. "No one will hear us. You can speak freely," he replied, even though puzzled by her question.

"Good," Scarlett sighed in relief. "Something happened here, Father's illness recurred—"

"WHAT!? Where is he now?" Simon's well-defined features couldn't conceal the shock on his face when he heard about their father's condition.

"Don't worry, brother," Scarlett hurriedly explained upon seeing Simon's increasingly tense expression. "Father's condition is stable for now, but I've arranged for him to return to Royal City. I've also contacted Doctor Robert for his medical treatment. Brother Simon, I need you to keep Father's condition a secret from everyone, including Sister Maggie, Aunt Melinda, and her family. No one should know that he is coming back to Royal City. Let them believe that Father is still with me here..." Scarlett paused momentarily when she noticed Simon's deepening frown.

"Why do you want to keep this a secret?" Simon asked. He knew their family already knew of their father's illness, so why hide it now?

"This is for Father's safety and yours," Scarlett responded solemnly. "Brother, something may happen within our family in a few days." An uneasy silence hung in the air after Scarlett's answer.

Simon felt relieved to hear that his father would receive medical treatment in the Royal City. However, Scarlett's ominous words left him confused and concerned.

"What do you mean? What could happen to our family?" He inquired, moving closer to the flat-screen TV.

Scarlett wasted no time and proceeded to recount her findings about Allaistar Parker's criminal activities. She began to share details of Allaistar's unsuccessful attempt to hire assassins to eliminate their father, but she didn't mention Withers Assassin Guild.

Simon's expression stiffened abruptly. He couldn't contain his anxiety despite his desire to hear the whole story. "How certain are you?" he asked.

"I'm very certain! I have so much evidence," she affirmed resolutely. "Brother, I'll explain everything in person when I return, but you must trust me this time..."

Simon remained skeptical, and Scarlett let out a deep sigh.

"We're talking about our Aunt's husband here, sister. Please don't spread these allegations if your evidence isn't concrete," Simon's tone grew sharp. It was difficult for him to believe that someone as seemingly gentle as Uncle Allaistar could plot their father's assassination.

Scarlett fell silent, grappling with Simon's skepticism. She can't help but continue her explanation.

"Brother, do you recall the murder attempt you survived years ago? The one that would have succeeded if Andrew William hadn't intervened?" Scarlett asked.

Simon's face paled at the mention of the incident. He tried to speak several times, but no words came out from his lips. "He's the one behind that as well," Scarlett revealed softly. "And do you remember what happened to Sister Maggie? Her sex tape scandal? That was his doing, too. He hired a man to manipulate Maggie... and you know the rest."

Simon's eyes flared with anger as he heard about these dark episodes.

"That man sought to eliminate our father and all his heirs," Scarlett couldn't help but chuckle, having narrowly escaped Allaistar's grasp herself.

"S-Sister..." Simon was at a loss for words. He was both terrified and bewildered, unsure of how to proceed. Clear thinking was needed before making any decisions.

"Okay, brother. I have to go now. For now, you need to guard Father there. And, you also need to strengthen security for yourself and sister Maggie." Scarlett said. She didn't have much time to explain, and she felt useless to talk to Simon now.
