The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Chapter 158 Extraordinary In Every Way

?In an instant, Old Riley was struck by the memory. He looked at Scarlet with a deep gaze before saying,  "Heavens!! Scarlett, so RAS is your company? That's why you accepted the collaboration with the director!? Who is his name again!?"

"Harvey Olson!" Carter said.

"Yes... Yes... That's an Oscar-winning director! Really, RAS is your company?" Old Riley enthusiastically asked while looking at Scarlett in disbelief.

Scarlett smiled. She couldn't hide it anymore. "Yes, grandpa. Red Animation Studio, or RAS as it's called, is my company."

"Wait! Doesn't RAS belong to US citizens? Ugh, I forgot the name!" Ella Harris muttered, trying to rack her brain under the stares of all the elders and Scarlett. After a few seconds passed, her eyes finally widened. She said, "...YES!! I remember… I remember him... his name is Tyler Park!"

Ella widely smiles as she stares back into Scarlett's eyes, "...Sister Scarlett, how can you explain this?" Her tone was casual, but her eyes looked like she wanted to mock Scarlett and tell everyone her suspicions were correct.

"Sister Ella, where did you hear that?" Carter asks as he gritted his teeth. He was confused.

Ella raised her hand to cover her mouth as if surprised hearing Carter's question, "Y-Young Master! No way... You don't know? Doesn't Studio Phoenix have a business relationship with them?"

She chuckled inwardly at how shocked Carter was now. Then, she glanced at Scarlett.

'This Scarlett Piers, such a terrible liar! How dare she cons the Riley family!?' Ella was scolding Scarlett in her heart while laughing at her because she was going to expose her!

"Sister Scarlett, you can't lie to others. Especially if you lie to a company as big as Studio Phoenix! And damage the image of an overseas company like RAS, you could be sued!"

Scarlett, "..."

'This stupid woman! How dare she call me a fraud!?' Scarlett was utterly speechless. She silently took a deep breath. No matter how angry she was, she tried to control her emotions — she didn't want to entertain this shameless woman.

Scarlett smiled gently before saying, "Sister Ella, it's true that Tyler Park is the CEO of RAS, but..." Before she could finish her sentence, Paul Harris interrupted.

"Unbelieve!! You lied to us and still smile like that!? Too disappointing for Xander to choose a woman like this to be his wife!!" A satisfied smile emerged from the corners of Paul Harris' lips after successfully making Scarlett look bad at everyone here, especially Old Riley. This is the best he can do for his daughter.

Scarlett "..."

"Sister Scarlett, is what they said true? So you're not the CEO of RAS?" Carter, who was sitting beside Scarlett, was baffled.

When Carter made contact with RAS, Director Harvey Olson gave him Cruz Reeves's contact number. So, he never had contact with RAS offices in LA or NYC. And, hearing Ella Harris so convincingly say that Scarlett tricked them made him a little dizzy.

Scarlett turned to look at Carter. When she saw the worry in his eyes, she smiled. "RAS CEO? Me? No, I'm not RAS CEO!"

Carter's eyes almost popped out of its socket, staring at  Scarlett. He couldn't believe what he had just heard.  'How could my sister-in-law lie to us? Does Brother Xader know about it!?'

He said, "Sis... why did you lie to us?" Carter's mouth twitched, holding anger.

Scarlett didn't answer Carter's question right away, but she looked at each person in the room, and her gaze stopped on Ella Harris.

"...I never said I was the CEO of RAS! But I am the owner. I am the founder of RAS." A spring-like smile appeared on Scarlett's face felt satisfied seeing everyone's jaw drop.

"Sis Ella, you said you know Tyler Park, right? Well, he is the CEO of RAS, the person I paid to be the CEO of the LA branch!" Scarlett continued.

All the elders opened their jaws wide, thinking they saw Scarlett as a ghost. As for Ella Harris, her face had turned as white as paper. Like all the blood on her face had been drained from embarrassment.

But Carter didn't. His smile bloomed as he stood up from his chair and clenched his fist before shouting, "I know that!! My sister-in-law would never lie!!"

After laughing happily, Carter returned to sit beside Scarlett, and slowly, his expression became intense. His eyes narrowed at everyone who was there.

???d? n??a| ?om "Mr. Harvey Olson wouldn't just give a random contact person to Studio Phoenix. When I dealt with RAS, Mr. Olson gave me the contact number of Cruz Reeves, my sister-in-law's personal assistant. So, my sister-in-law will never lie!"

Scarlett could only chuckle inwardly at how ridiculous Carter was now. How embarrassing!

Without Scarlett noticing...

At this moment, Walter Riley's eyes stared admiringly at Scarlett. From his investigations, he remembered there was no info on Scarlett's work. He only found out that this girl had just graduated from college.

And knowing that she owns a big company, he can't stop admiring her. And he is happy that Xander chose her as his wife; besides being beautiful, she is also intelligent and independent.

What he had feared all this time would not happen; No one could bully her outside if their relationship went public. In this country, public judgment is terrifying. Even though it wasn't threatening and nothing to fear, he worried it would affect Scarlett nevertheless.

"Scarlett, I really admire you. You're only 23 years old and already have such an achievement. You are deeply extraordinary in every way..." Walter Riley said proudly. "Now, I know why my grandson insists on marrying you!"

"Of course!! My older brother wouldn't marry an ordinary, mediocre woman!" Carter said as his gaze fell to Ella Harris —  the corners of his lips lifted and revealed a charming cold smile.

Scarlett didn't say anything else, too tired to hear their insults, and now she was starving. She turned to Carter, "Why hasn't dinner started yet? I'm a little hungry now..."

"Wait here. I'll ask the kitchen staff to speed up dinner serving!" Carter smiled and stood up from his chair.
