502 Searching Rosalie Withers (1)
"Where is Rex?" Scarlett asked Seven, who was driving the car.
"Rex at the base camp," Seven glanced at Scarlett and then at Roland Gilwynn beside her. "He will visit you at dinner..." He said while holding his laugh, looking at how Scarlett's father looked annoyed at him.
"I see," Scarlett said with a warm smile. As she glanced at her father, she noticed him giving Seven a displeased look, which amused her.
"Father, this is my best friend, Seven... I an, Allen. I already thought of him as my older brother. He's my savior. In the past, he always risked his life to help . He even ran for miles to take to the hospital. Without Allen's help, we might never have t... "
Scarlett's expression darkened as she recalled those tis. On that fateful day, she had mistakenly believed Theodor was plotting against her, nearly costing her life. That incident had led to several months of hospitalization and more than a year in hiding.
Recently, Scarlett discovered that Theodor was not the one pursuing her; it had all been a misunderstanding. However, the puzzle remained unsolved, and she still didn't know who was behind the incident.
...
Upon hearing Scarlett's explanation, Roland's concerned expression gradually faded. Earlier, he had harbored suspicions about Allen's bad influence on his daughter.
"Hello, Allen," Roland warmly greeted Seven. "I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to you for taking care of my daughter. I truly appreciate it..."
Allen briefly glanced at Roland before refocusing on driving the car. "It's my duty to protect her, sir. She ans the world to us... On the Fox, we call her our treasure."
Roland could only nod in agreent with Allen, fully aware of his daughter's exceptional skills. He had heard from l Tan and Theodor that Scarlett was one of the most gifted hackers ever to exist, and that filled him with imnse pride.
Now, Roland could picture Rosalie being proud when she t their daughter.
'Rosalie, I hope we can et sooner... I really miss you!' Roland prayed in his heart while turning his gaze out of the window.
His gaze remained fixed on the busy street as he pondered the many unanswered thoughts, 'Why did she leave !?'
...
Shortly after leaving the city's main street, they drove towards a small town located in a remote area.
Xander's spacious modern villa was situated on several hectares of land, surrounded by a lush canopy of trees. The property was heavily guarded for security purposes.
Scarlett couldn't help but be amazed as she observed the security asures in place, reminiscent of The Fox Basecamp.
She noticed the similarities between Xander's properties as their car entered the villa area.
Scarlett couldn't help but smile, thinking about her husband's lavish lifestyle. She turned to Logan, seated beside Seven, and asked curiously, "Logan, have you ever been to this place?"
Logan glanced at Scarlett and replied, "No, ma'am. I've never been to this city. However, Jas told he frequently visits here. I believe he must be familiar with this villa and the city. And, what I hear, he's the one who takes care of everything before our arrival," he explained.
Scarlett nodded, placing her trust in Jas' capabilities. He was Xander's right-hand man, possessing a wide variety of skills.
"I know. Xander has already told about Jas."
"That man is excellent at handling things," Seven chid in. He and Jas had worked together undercover in country X while spying on Jude Withers. Now, he was delighted to collaborate with him again in this city.
"Brother, I forgot you've already t him..." Scarlett smiled. She felt amused, thinking how quickly ti had passed, and now all her Fox friends were familiar with Xander's people.
"Hahaha, yes," Seven chuckled and parked the car, glancing at several vehicles stopping behind them.
Scarlett bead when she spotted Jas waiting for them. She promptly exited the car and greeted him.
"Jas, it's been a while," Scarlett said as she stopped before him.
"Ma'am, I'm glad to assist you again," Jas replied politely. He also greeted the man standing beside Scarlett, instantly recognizing him as Scarlett's father, his master's father-in-law.
"Jas, this is my father," Scarlett introduced. "I believe you already know his na, right?"
"Yes, ma'am, I do," Jas politely extended his hand to Roland. "Sir, it's an honor to et you."
"Hello, Jas," Roland accepted Jas' handshake.
"Father, Jas was Xander's right-hand man. He also greatly assisted when I faced trouble on B Island," Scarlett explained as they entered the house.
Roland was surprised to learn that another person had helped his daughter. He expressed his gratitude to Jas as well.
However, for so unknown reason, he felt sad because he hadn't fulfilled his duties as her father. He wanted to do sothing for her, but this girl proved more capable and independent than her siblings, Simon and Maggie.
What prevented Roland from having the opportunity to help Scarlett was that her husband was also one of the most successful young n he had ever t. He wielded significant influence on his country.
Now, he could only wait for the right opportunity to assist his daughter, hoping that the ti would co in the future.
...
After entering the house, Scarlett imdiately asked Jas and Logan to help her father and his staff settle in the provided guest room area, including butlers and guards.
anwhile, Scarlett and Seven promptly made their way to the computer control room on the second floor, which Xander had provided.
Xander provides the room and installs so Fox high technology Scarlett usually uses. They intended to use this room as a control center to track down Scarlett's mother.
Upon entering the room, Scarlett gasped in surprise to see the room resembled her computer room at her house with Xander in Cloudfort.
"How's the room?" Seven asked Scarlett. "Jas and I are in charge of setting it up. They installed technology from MT Group... You can check it out yourself because we're unfamiliar with its operation," he said, pointing to a black server in the corner.
