The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Chapter 276 Mission (4)

?

Seven was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond to Scarlett's comment.

Meanwhile, Nine laughed at Scarlett's words and quickly focused on driving, his role as their designated driver for the evening, following Scarlett, who had started acting as Ms. Tanya Roger.

After almost 40 minutes of driving, their car finally entered the city. Scarlett was fascinated by the bustling streets outside as their car drove by.

"Wow, even though it's cold, there are still so many people walking outside," she remarked.

Seven chuckled at her observation. 

"How many times have you been to this city, Seven?" Scarlett asked him.

"Oh, my dear... have you forgotten your husband's name?" Seven teased her, smiling mischievously.

Scarlett, "..." 

"Ugh! Forget it. I don't want to talk to you anymore!" Scarlett snapped, her eyes averted in frustration.

'Why is he trying to get back at me now?' she thought, annoyed by Seven's teasing. She wasn't in the mood for jokes.

"Hahaha, my wife is so compassionate," Seven remarked, noticing Scarlett's grim expression. "I'm sorry, dear... I'm just trying to remember our roles tonight. Alright, Alright, I won't tease you anymore." He chuckled. 

Scarlett continued to ignore him, lost in thought as she focused on her plan for the night: seducing Dax Withers.

After a few moments of silence, Scarlett finally said, "Make sure you act naturally and well, too, Seven. Do not forget our target!" 

Scarlett's nerves grew tense as they neared their destination. She could see a large Mansion in the distance, and she was sure it was the Hill Mansion.

She squeezed her fingers together as her heart trembled slightly. 'Stay calm, Scarlett! This is just a simple mission. There won't be any mistakes,' she reassured herself, trying to shake off the traumatic memories of her last mission, where she nearly died.

After successfully passing through several inspections, their car finally arrived at the parking lot of a large building next to the Hill Mansion.

Scarlett looked outside the car window intently, observing the invited guests entering the building. Just as she was about to open the car door, Seven opened it from the outside and offered his hand.

"Let's go, my dear Tanya," Seven's voice sounded gentle, causing Scarlett to adjust her composure and embody her role as Tanya Roger.

She smiled and placed her hand on Seven's before saying, "Thank you, dear..." Her expression changed, and her doubts and worries disappeared, replaced by confidence and grace. 

Scarlett immediately acted as Ms. Roger.

Seven and Scarlett passed through the security checkpoint without any issues. Their invitations were authentic, despite Seven only having less than 24 hours to obtain them.

Scarlett couldn't help but feel curious about how Seven managed to get them. She leaned closer to him and whispered, "Where did you get the invitations from?"

e?glesnovel`c,om "Well, let's just say I have my ways," Seven replied, avoiding eye contact with her as they made their way down the corridor, following the other guests.

Scarlett realized that Seven didn't want to discuss it further, so she didn't press the matter.

Finally, they arrived at the grand hall.

Scarlett was taken aback by the breathtaking beauty of the room; she felt as if she had been transported to another world. Despite the snow-covered scenery outside, inside the room was like a spring garden in full bloom. The air was warm, and the aroma of fresh flowers filled her senses.

In the center of the room, a long white aisle led to a stage adorned with beautiful roses. Round tables with white tablecloths and fresh flower arrangements were scattered on both sides of the aisle, accompanied by flickering candles. 

Scarlett couldn't help but admire the attention to detail in the decoration.

Several food and beverage stands were situated in various corners of the room, but what caught her attention the most was the minibar at the end of the room, stocked with an impressive selection of drinks. It was clear that the party host wanted to ensure that the guests were well taken care of and had a wide range of options.

'Gosh! Are all weddings decorated like this?' Scarlett was astonished because she rarely came to the party like this, only on missions. However, this party was the best she had ever attended.

Scarlett looked around the room and saw many familiar faces from her list of investigations. Many wealthy and powerful people were gathered in one place. They didn't look like they were attending a wedding party but rather a reunion. The country's president and many high-ranking military and politicians were present. 

No wonder the security before entering the area was so tight, but it couldn't stop them from entering the party. Scarlett chuckled inwardly, but her expression turned stiff as Nine flashed in her mind. 

She couldn't imagine what would happen if Nine released his poison and killed everyone in the room. They would be hunted down and exterminated for assassinating the country's top officials. 

Scarlett felt her heart racing with anxiety, hoping nothing would go wrong with their mission. She couldn't afford to become an international criminal.

"My dear, would you like to go to the bar or head straight to our seats?" Seven's voice interrupted her thoughts.

Scarlett smiled and replied in a low voice, "Let's go to the bar. I need a good vantage point to observe."

She followed Seven towards the bar, keeping a watchful eye on her surroundings. She needs to find her target, Dax Withers, but he doesn't seem to have arrived at this party yet.

However, Scarlett was utterly shocked when she spotted someone as they walked to the bar at the end of the room. 

'What the heck!! Why is he here? He's not even on the guest list!!' Her mind froze momentarily, but she managed to maintain her composure and follow Seven.

After Scarlett sat at the bar counter, Seven leaned in and whispered, "Wait here. I need to go to the bathroom." Scarlett nodded, understanding that Seven wanted to explore the area and gather information. 

As Scarlett waited, she silently surveyed the room, trying to find the man she recognized. Her pulse quickened as she saw the man approaching her.

'Did he recognize me!? No way he could do that, right?' She thought as she turned her gaze and ordered a drink from the bartender.
