Chapter 148 Investigate!
?Paul Harris spoke slowly but clearly, "Daughter, do you still want to marry Xander?"
Ella Harris was shocked. She had never heard her father speak this seriously. She turned to look at him and nodded.
"Okay! I have a way of making him break up with that woman! Don't worry. I'll help you!!" His lips curved up into a malicious smile.
"Father, are you sure you can separate them?" The twinkle in her eyes that had slowly disappeared appeared again. There is still hope to get Xander back.
"Of course! Now, let's eat first..." Paul Harris said and started to order their lunch.
He continued after the waitress had left them, "You don't have to worry about that woman!"
Ella Harris appeared calm, but she was internally worried. She said, "But father, what about that other woman, Zoey Warner?" She suddenly remembered the woman who always followed Xander wherever he went.
Paul pondered momentarily before saying, "Old Master Riley would never agree to that woman! And as far as I can remember, Xander never admitted that woman was his girlfriend, right!?"
"Yes, you're right, father. That woman is only his secretary, but I envy her. She's always there for him. I, on the other hand, who was once his fiancé, didn't have that opportunity!" Ella took a deep breath — Remembering those days somehow had hurt her chest.
Paul Harris didn't reply to his daughter's words with words. Instead, he chuckled.
He said, "...You must understand the nature of a man! A man will never be satisfied with having one woman. Let's say that the woman out there is his concubine. You need to focus on how to become his legal wife..."
"I understand, father!" She didn't mind that Xander had many women out there. The most important thing was that she could be Mrs. Riley — Her goal now is to continue her engagement to Xander!
While Ella and her father plan to separate Xander and Scarlett...
The love birds are enjoying their time walking around the town.
They walk by the lake, stopping at coffee shops and chatting about many things. Paying no heed to the people around them, it was as if only the two of them were in the place.
But somehow...
Something had been bothering Scarlett since leaving the Korean restaurant earlier; Xander didn't mention the two people they met at the restaurant. She could see they seemed to have known each other for a long time. For that, she suspected Xander was hiding something from her.
A few times, she wanted to ask, but she hesitated. Afraid Xander will think of her as a jealous wife. Even though that's true. She is indeed jealous after she sees how that woman sees Xander.
"Dear, I will go to the toilet!"
"Hmm... Take your time!" She smiles at him, but her smile disappears as soon as Xander leaves.
She picked up her cell phone and typed in a particular application. Not long after, the secure channel was connected.
???d? n??a| ?om "I can't believe you're still around, Seven!" Scarlett said indifferently, but her voice was as cold as ice.
"S-Sorry, Three! Brother Two said, if I leave you, he will take my life. Can you give me mercy? I promise to never say anything to him about your handsome husband!" Seven chuckles on the other end.
Scarlett couldn't help cursing Two! How dare he abuse others with his authority!?
She took a deep breath, trying to subdue her anger.
Even though Scarlett doesn't like being followed, Seven has been able to follow her without being seen by others. And she hoped Seven would manage to do that for the entire time. So, it doesn't matter if it doesn't interfere with her activities.
"Fine!! If you want to follow me, go ahead. But you must improve your tailing method. If I still could see you, then you failed. You must avoid me from locating your position, EVER!" She says in her serious tone.
"Darn it!!! You really are a terrible liar, Three!! You know my position through your super tracking, right!?" Seven sneered. He had tried his best to hide from her, but this girl still knew his position. So he assumed she must have used technology to find him. After all, all of their advanced technology and program was created by her.
Scarlett chuckled. Seven was right. She activates Seven's tracker when she discovers that Seven is tailing her.
"Good that you know!!" She cleared her throat before continuing. "...Now, find out who the people my husband talks to at the Korean restaurant are. I want their identities right away! And I also want to know what they're talking about!"
"Understood!!" Seven said happily because now he didn't have to worry about getting caught by Scarlett if he followed her. "Anything else!?"
"No. I just need that information..." Said, Scarlett. She could have done it herself. It's just that Xander was around, so she didn't have time to do it.
"Okay!"
"Seven, you can relax and enjoy this town. And I will be returning to the capital tomorrow morning. We will take a helicopter so you can return to the capital first and wait for me at the RAS!"
"Thank you, little sister..."
"If you call me that again, it wasn't Two who took your life, but me!!!" She coldly said and ended the call before Seven said anything.
When Scarlett ended the call, at that same time, Xander came back from the toilet.
"What happened? Why do you look tense!?" Xander, who had just come out of the toilet, was surprised to see her annoyed facial expression after talking on the phone.
"You're back already?" She tucked her phone into her bag before continuing, "Nothing! It's just a spam call..." She answered it with a calm tone.
"Babe, you must install a special application that filters spam calls and messages. I have the program if you want!" Xander said seriously.
She could only nod in response.
'Gosh!! If only Xander knew I was a hacker, he'd be shocked, right!?' Inside, Scarlett wanted to laugh at Xander's offer.
