Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

”No one compares to you, if I hadn’t seen it for myself, I wouldn’t have known you have the best figure...” Charlotte Miller dared not provoke this grand master, as she had just seen Atlas Hallow’s face turn quite stern.

But even though she knew he cared about this, she couldn’t help but want to tease him. The physical disparity left her at his mercy, yet Charlotte was clever—after teasing him, she quickly smoothed things over. Otherwise, if he really got angry, it would be unbearable.

”You cheeky little spirit...” Atlas, who had initially looked gloomy, broke into a sexy, alluring smile after hearing Charlotte’s words, like he was charged with ten thousand volts of electricity. As he approached, Charlotte’s heart raced, and even her breath became a bit unsteady.

”Hmph, you won’t let me look at others, so does this mean I can never go to the beach to sunbathe and swim again?” She loved going out to sea, and how could there be no men in swim trunks or sunbathing nude on the beach?

”Of course you can, next time I’ll take you.” Why not, with a private beach, nobody else could enter and she could only see him.

”By the way, the people from the investment department just delivered the documents. I took a look, and if you’re really going with a buyback guarantee, I’ll need to revise the interest rates. After all, if you’re doing a buyback, it eliminates all risks. Atlas Hallow, have you always been this confident?” Charlotte poked Atlas’s chest with her finger, her clear and yet strong voice rising. Seeing Charlotte’s serious demeanor, Atlas’s smile deepened.

”Of course, I don’t want this financing to bring any changes to the nature of the equity in the future. You should know what I mean.” Atlas took Charlotte’s small hand, placing it in his large palm, making her hand appear even more delicate and supple, almost to the point of bursting. Her slender fingers, which had just poked his chest, were already reddening at the tips.

Indeed, he was an extremely domineering man, who only liked absolute control.

”As long as you’re confident, I’ll recalculate the interest rate.” But this was Atlas Hallow’s way of doing things; she wouldn’t say more.

”You don’t think it’s bad?” Atlas looked straight into Charlotte’s eyes, observing her little face. At work, Charlotte transformed into another persona, wise and stunningly cool. The sweet aura of a little girl would slowly retreat at this time, hiding somewhere inside her.

”From the standpoint of Currency City, I certainly don’t feel anything is good or bad. I am a middleman, just a responsible middleman. I make the best match between those who need money and those who have it, and I charge a portion as a management fee. Your guaranteed buyback is naturally the best because it removes all risks, which is good for me as it reduces my workload.” Charlotte looked into Atlas’s eyes, speaking sincerely, ”But as your wife, I’d think there’s really no need for this. If you dislike equity dispersal, there are many ways to prevent it. If this project fails, your risk could be significant. Is it necessary? Are you afraid of someone pooling substantial funds to take over New Energy City? But you’re Atlas Hallow—are you really afraid of a barbarian invasion? If such a day ever comes, I’ll stand by your side and fight.”

When she spoke those last words, Atlas’s heart was profoundly moved. Her eyes, crystal clear, flashed more determined and dazzling than diamonds when she spoke of fighting by his side.

She had never explicitly confessed to him before—could this be considered a confession?

In fact, he hadn’t been too keen on Charlotte working, but seeing her confidence in that moment, he understood what work truly meant to her.

She was never the kind of woman who needed to be kept by a man; no amount of material wealth could make her as beautiful as she was at that moment. What she pursued was mutual equality and respect in marriage.

”How about this, Charlotte, I’ll leave everything to you. If you think the guarantee is unnecessary, let’s proceed with your original plan. I eagerly await the day someone truly tries to storm my company with a massive amount of capital. I look forward to standing shoulder to shoulder with you on that day.” Life holds countless possibilities. Having succeeded so early, his life was as calm as a windless lake. What of storms and waves? They should be conquered.
