Chapter 506  Searching Rosalie Withers (5)

Scarlett agrees with her father.

She nods before asking, "Do you have a name we could check, Father?"

Several times, Scarlett had pondered whether her mother's mysterious disappearance could be linked to her father's arch-nemesis. That person had dispatched a hired assassin, The Withers, to eliminate Roland Gilwynn, the reigning monarch of M Kingdom.

However, Scarlett remained clueless about any suspicious name because of her inability to investigate the inner circle of the royal family.

All the while, they had been safeguarded by the formidable hacker known as Queen. As of now, she lacked the ability to confront the Queen and remained in the dark about her father's true enemy.

"Name?" Roland's brows furrowed as he tried to recall potential enemies who intended to harm his family.

"Yes, Father... give me a name so I can start tracking that person. There may be a clue that can lead us to the information we need."

Roland's frown deepened, as no matter how hard he wracked his brain, he couldn't find a name. Was it because he lacked a significant enemy, or had this individual skillfully hidden any traces, making their identity impossible to discover?

"My daughter... apologized because I can't give you any name. You know I abdicated the throne long ago and am no longer involved with royal affairs, right?"

"Hmm, I know," Scarlett gives a slight nod.

"I stay away from all matters concerning the royal family," Roland said regretfully. He felt terrible because he couldn't help his daughter.

Scarlett was silent for a moment, trying to think of another way.

"I hope I can help you," Roland muttered softly.

Suddenly, something crossed Scarlett's mind. She looked at him excitedly, "Father, you can still help me..."

Her smile widened thinking about this: If her father could assist her, she could identify the person who sent The Withers assassin to kill him.

"Really? Tell me," Roland said.

"I know Sister Mel, who guards the royal family against cyber attacks. That's true, right?" Scarlett paused, waiting for Roland to confirm that.

After seeing Roland nod, Scarlett continued, "Can you ask Sister Mel to grant me full access to the royal family database? I need to check from there. There must be a clue that I can find—"

"Oh my! You're right, my child," Roland shouted, interrupting Scarlett's words. "Why did I forget you are very skilled in that field!?"

Scarlett smiled at him. "Hmm, but Sister Mel should grant me access. It's hard for me to break her firewall layers," Scarlett chuckled bitterly.

"Don't worry about that. I'll call your brother. He's the one who deals with Mel on such matters."

"Ok. Please let me know when I can access it."

...

Scarlett immediately left her father's room after they finished chatting. She headed to the second floor to the computer room to check the progress carried out by the God Eyes system.

When she entered the computer room, she saw Seven on the phone by the window.

"Oh, you've come..." Seven hung up the phone when he noticed her. "Just now, Rex called me. He informed me that he arrived. Let's go... It looks like he brought Old Morrison."

Scarlett gasped in shock upon hearing that.

"Gosh, Rex is such a terrible brother. How did he not tell me that Grandpa was also here?"

"Old Morrison was in the country near Norway. When he learned you were coming here, he insisted on following," Seven explained.

"I see," Scarlett said. But inwardly, she still scolded Rex for not letting her know promptly.

She silently followed Seven down the stairs as they headed to the main door.

When they reached the end of the stairs, Scarlett saw Logan at the same time.

"Ma'am, Rex Morrison arrived. His car was about—" Logan paused, realizing Scarlett already knew about it. "You already know, ma'am?"

Scarlett could only nod at Logan and continued walking to the main entrance. Not long after, two cars stopped.

Looking at the cars open and at Grandpa Morrison, she couldn't hide how happy she was to see him in his trademark—wearing his best suit.

Patrick Morrison still looked the same as the last time Scarlett saw him when she visited New York for Rex's birthday. He still looked healthy and fresh. His short gray hair stood out when he got out of the car, and behind him were Rex and Cedric, Grandpa Morrison's butler.

"Grandpa—" Scarlett greeted him while accepting his warm embrace.

"Little girl, Grandpa is so happy to meet you finally..." Patrick Morrison hugged Scarlett warmly. After releasing his hug, he placed his hand on Scarlett's shoulder and continued, "If I don't force this brat, he won't bring me to meet you..." Looking at Rex, he narrowed his eyes, annoyed with his grandson.

Rex ignored his grandpa but grinned at Scarlett, who now glared at him as if she wanted to whack him with her gaze.

After she was satisfied scolding Rex with her gaze, Scarlett casually put her hand around Patrick Morrison's arm and led him into the house.

"Grandpa, you know what? My brother Rex has changed a bit recently..." Scarlett sighed deeply, trying to get Grandpa to take her side. She wanted to teach Rex playfully. "My brother... doesn't seem to care about me anymore... He only cares about his girl—"

Suddenly, Scarlett's voice trailed off as Rex's hand landed on her mouth, silencing her and preventing her from continuing her words.

Scarlett laughed inwardly when she realized that Rex had not informed his grandpa or entire family about Casey Adams.

'Gosh!! Brother Rex, you're so sneaky! I'll tell Sister Casey, let her scold you...' She smiled inwardly, thinking about this.

"Rex Morrison?" Patrick snapped at Rex. "Why are you covering your little sister's mouth!?" He narrowed his eyes at Rex, but Rex ignored him, walking to a corner and avoiding them.
