The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Chapter 100 Childhood Memories



Scarlett and Logan are heading to see her father, who is still in the intensive care unit. She only wanted to see him briefly before visiting Nicole.

But when she arrived at the Intensive care unit, a tall chubby man blocked her way. The man was accompanied by two bodyguards standing behind him. He looks like a rich kid from how he dresses; he wears a suit and an expensive watch from a famous brand.

Scarlett was confused. Because she had never seen this man. Why did he block her way? Did he recognize the wrong person?

"Excuse me, could you step aside?" Scarlett said calmly. But the man didn't budge. Instead, he looked at her with a problematic gaze to describe in words — he seemed bewitched to see her.

Gosh! This is why she doesn't dare to leave the house in her proper form. A foolish man was always as enchanted by her as the man before her. Even though she's now wearing her ugly wig — as Xander always said.

"If you don't step aside, don't blame me if I am rude?" She said while gesturing to Logan to take care of this man.

But before Logan could act, the chubby man said, "Scarlett, it's me... Brody!" His voice was deep, but there seemed to be happiness in his tone.

'Brody!? Who exactly is this Brody guy!?' Scarlett tried to observe the man in front of her one more time, but she had no memory of this man at all.

"You are Scarlett Piers, right?" The man's question made Scarlett wince.

If this man knows her last name... Meaning he did know her.

"I am indeed Scarlett, but I don't know you…." Scarlett's response seemed uninterested in continuing the conversation with him. "Could you step aside? I want to see my father!"

"Wait!" The chubby man stretched out his hand to block Scarlett.

She was getting impatient. Why so early in the morning someone spoiled her mood?

"Mr. Brody, please, I don't want to make a scene in the hospital. Please move aside!"

She was about to lose her temper when the chubby man said, "Scarlett, how could you forget me? I'm your brother, Brody. Back in elementary school, you always followed me wherever I went. You always brought a snack for me and said if we grow up, you will marry me..."

Suddenly Scarlett's face turned grim, and her throat felt dry as memories of her childhood filled her mind.

'Damn it!! So this fatty was the guy I had a crush on!?'

Scarlett couldn't believe it because when they were kids, her crush was tall, slim, and handsome, but now? The man in front of her was chubby and bearded. Far different from the man in her memories.

She glanced at Logan, who was now looking at her with a question mark appearing on his forehead. She was speechless.

"Do you remember me?" Brody smiled at Scarlett.  He could see from her expression that this girl definitely remembered him. Looking at her again made him feel something in his heart. This girl had grown beautiful. It was so different when she was little; she was fat, and her red hair was always messy.

Gosh! Why did this man suddenly appear here? When Logan is around. Now, her dark past of liking men like this is exposed. It's only a matter of time before Xander finds out. What a shame!

Scarlett took a deep breath as she looked once again at Brody. She said, "Mr. Brody, right? I forgot about my childhood memories. Sorry if I don't remember you..."

She would never admit it. It's so embarrassing. After all, who remembers their first crush in elementary school!? No one remembers, right!?

"Scarlett, it's fine if you forget that you used to chase after me when we were kids. However, as a schoolmate, I would like to ask for your help..." Brody said seriously.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ She was confused by his words; ask for help?

"Well, you may have forgotten my last name. I'm Brody Wood. My father's name is Frans Wood..."

Suddenly Scarlett's heartbeat quickened when she heard the name "Frans Wood." So, this chubby man is Frans Wood's son!?

'What the hell! I almost became Brody's stepmother. Gosh!'

"I want to ask you a favor. I need your help to stop the investigation into the assault case against your father..."

Brody's words could make Scarlett gasp. So, this is the favor he wants!? Stop the investigation? Is he crazy to ask that!?

"Why should I stop the investigation when your people attacked my father? You see, now my father is seriously injured..."

Scarlett was at a loss for words with this Brody Wood way of thinking. Does he understand the law? Well, he doesn't have to go to law school to know what's right and what's wrong, right!?

"I know. That's why I come to say sorry to you... It was a misunderstanding. My mother never asks them to attack your father. But it's the fault of the people in the field..." He paused when he saw Scarlett didn't say anything but just stood there staring at him.

Hearing his words could make Scarlett understand why Brody was looking for her. Turns out his mother was behind her father's attack, and now she's been arrested!? It's perfect! She needed to teach them a lesson.

Brody smiled secretly at Scarlett's expression. It's time to make this girl comply with his request. No one can resist money, right!?

"And I know your family has financial problems. Scarlett, if you stop this investigation, I can give you as much money as you want..." Brody continued his words, followed by a confident smile on his face.

Scarlett, "..."

'What the hell!! You think you're rich so you can buy me with your money? You are a stupid fat man! Even if you sell all the assets of the Wood Family, you will never touch the lowest value of the assets I own!'

Scarlett can't help but curse this idiot Brody in her heart.
