Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

”What’s the matter?” Atlas Hallow hadn’t mentioned anything related to Ethan Baird recently, except for warning her not to get too close to him.

”You know the development project Atlas Hallow and Joseph Shaw are collaborating on, right? It’s a standout in the world’s new city energy construction in recent years. How many eyes are glued to this major case worldwide. Joseph Shaw invited our Currency City to join this development project. Actually, they need us to provide enough cash when they’re financially tight, yet this money only enjoys dividends and doesn’t get a stake, nor can it contribute any opinions to this major project.” Ethan Baird felt somewhat surprised about this. Although their performance was very good, with Atlas Hallow and Joseph Shaw’s capabilities, they should have plenty of choices.

”I know about this project. The new city’s concept is truly innovative, but the funds involved are really enormous. Why did they choose us? And I haven’t told Atlas Hallow about what we’re doing in the United States.” Charlotte Miller poured a cup of coffee for Ethan Baird, standing by the window, gazing into the distance as the old city’s buildings began to get demolished. They weren’t building just one skyscraper but an entire experimental new energy city.

Charlotte Miller could imagine the terrifying investment amount just from thinking about it. It’s quite normal to seek companies to manage and attract financial flows.

In reality, what she and Ethan Baird were doing was essentially a brokerage, helping people with money find the most profitable and secure investment avenues.

They were mere middlemen, but indeed, they had been doing exceptionally well in the past two years.

”How could you be so naïve? How could you think Atlas Hallow wouldn’t investigate you? I bet you, the day after you married him, your information was probably already in his hands. You think you’re playing the fool to catch the tiger, but the one truly capable of devouring is Atlas Hallow. My dear, you’re in trouble...” Charlotte Miller might have a knack for making money, but no mind to ponder what kind of man she married.

Such little tricks perhaps wouldn’t even catch Atlas Hallow’s eye.

It seems quite likely that Atlas Hallow is just amusing himself with Charlotte Miller.

”Really?” Atlas Hallow knew long ago about the company she set up in the United States. He was aware she was a seasoned finance expert, but why didn’t he expose her?

Why didn’t he directly let her join the Hallow Clan’s investment department?

She thought she could fool Atlas Hallow, thought that if she kept quiet, no one would know. After all, she was only operating behind the scenes, and Ethan Baird was the one handling the surface matters, so she always assumed this was very confidential.

She was too naïve.

”My dear, it’s best if you can directly participate in this development project. You’ll not only learn more about Atlas Hallow but gain significantly from it.” Know thy enemy and self, and you’ll always win. Atlas Hallow had already unraveled Charlotte Miller’s background, but it seems she had no idea what kind of person Atlas Hallow truly was.

”What if he disagrees?” Charlotte Miller bit her lip, her watery eyes flickering as if in search of help.

Ethan Baird looked at Charlotte Miller and couldn’t help but laugh silently, ”Can’t you be a bit more proactive?”

Do men really prefer it when one takes the initiative? Why do they say that so frequently?
