The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Chapter 378 Server Attack

?

"I mean," Scarlett took a deep breath, trying to gather her thoughts so she wouldn't get emotional. "How did you two become friends?" she asked in a calmer tone.

Theodor opened his mouth several times, but no words escaped his lips. 

He was rendered speechless, realizing that he needed to consult Rex before revealing any information to Scarlett.

"Theo?" Scarlett called his name after waiting for a few minutes. But he remained lost in his thoughts, completely ignoring her. 

Gosh!

"Fine, if you don't want to talk, I'll call Rex right now!" Scarlett said. 

She reached for her cell phone and didn't care about the time difference between their locations. She really needed to know what they were hiding from her. Judging Theodor's excessive bearing made her even more sure they were doing something behind her.

Theodor grew increasingly anxious in his seat as he observed Scarlett's relentless attempts to contact Rex. It felt like he was sitting on burning coals, his worry intensifying with each passing moment. He felt like he wanted to disappear from that place.

"Damn it! Why didn't Rex answer my call!?" Scarlett's frustration grew as she made another futile attempt to reach Rex using a different number. Despite her persistent efforts, she was unable to establish a connection.

Just as Scarlett decides to hack Rex's phone to check his location, she hears Theodor call her name.

Startled, Scarlett turned her gaze toward him. 

"What? Are you finally going to tell me, Theo?" A smile slowly appeared from the corners of her lips, knowing this man finally wanted to tell her. 

"No," Theodor sighed, taking a deep breath before continuing, "I just wanted to let you know that Rex is on his way here. He will arrive in a few hours, and you can ask him immediately..."

Scarlett was surprised to hear that. Why did Rex suddenly fly here?

"Boss, I'm so sorry. I really wanted to tell you, but I needed permission from Rex... because..." Theodor's voice trailed off, unable to complete his sentence.

Scarlett felt a sense of helplessness facing Theodor at this moment. Despite her curiosity, she didn't want Theodor and Rex to argue because of her. 

Resolving to give in for now, she decided to wait for Rex to arrive and ask him directly.

"I won't press you for answers, don't worry, Theo!" Scarlett assured him.

Relief washed over Theodor's face, and he managed to smile. Finally, he was able to breathe normally. 

"Thank you, boss. I really appreciate your understanding..." Theodor sincerely said while smiling at her. However, his smile suddenly disappeared when he noticed her gaze was sharp at him. 

Scarlett narrowed her eyes at Theodor, her gaze piercing. After a few seconds passed, she said, "However, I hope the two of you are not involved in any actions that would anger me," she warned, her tone firm. "If either of you crosses that line, I will sever all ties with you. I mean it, Theo! I will never speak to either of you again!"

Theodor panicked as he pleaded, "What? Why? Please don't do that..." his voice filled with desperation.

Scarlett couldn't help but burst into laughter, delighted by Theodor's reaction. She had successfully lured him into her trap.

"Aha! So the two of you have been up to something behind my back?"

Theodor shook his head, his expression solemn, and he replied quickly, "No, boss!"

"Don't lie! I knew it... You must be up to some wicked scheme, right?" Scarlett probed further, enjoying the playful banter.

"Oh, come on, boss... We haven't done anything that would upset you. Trust me, huh!?" Theodor pleaded once again, hoping to convince her of his innocence.

However, the doubt still lingered in Scarlett's eyes, and it was clear that she didn't fully believe him.

Theodor pressed his lips tightly, refusing to say anything more. Without uttering another word, he swiftly excused himself and left, heading home to reflect on his own foolishness.

Scarlett could only chuckle as she watched Theodor hurriedly go home. It was the first time she had seen him leave their house without being asked. His reaction brought her a mix of amusement and satisfaction, knowing she had successfully teased him.

***

After Theodor went home, Scarlett went back to her bedroom on the second floor. She still had two hours before Xander's return, so she had ample time to relax. 

She continues watching movies on Netflix. However, as she enjoyed her movie, a thought crossed her mind—the plan to attack Withers' server. 

It had been on her plan to do that for the past two days. Still, Xander always forbids her from spending too much time in front of the computer — Xander believes that pregnant women should not have too much contact with electronic devices.

Glancing at her watch to confirm she still had enough time, Scarlett made her way to the computer room. 

·??m In a matter of minutes, her fingers danced across the keyboard, and her eyes focused sharply on the monitor. 

After a few minutes passed...

The tension on her face eased, replaced by a smile that formed at the corners of her lips. She discovered that her hacker idol, Queen, wasn't defending Withers' server — This makes it easy to screw up the Withers server.

Scarlett effortlessly breached the defenses of the Withers server. Before injecting her powerful computer virus, she carefully copied and stored all Withers documents on her secret server. It took nearly two hours to complete the data transfer — She deliberately took their documents to fight Jude Withers later.

"Uncle Jude, this is my first gift for you! I hope you appreciate it," she giggled, a pleased smile flashing across his eyes.

By pressing the 'ENTER' key, the virus spread across the computers of the entire Withers group around the world, rendering them incapacitated for at least two weeks.

She only needed two weeks to capture the Withers Gold Team Assassin, who had secretly entered this country.

Knock... knock...

A faint knock on the door startled Scarlett, causing her to swiftly shut down her computer and rise from her chair.

As she opened the door, she saw a female servant standing before her.
