Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

”You like money, don’t you? I’ve given you quite a lot, haven’t I? What was your bill last month? Hailey spent a full thirty million. I bet no other wealthy lady in this town has as many jewelry pieces as you do, right?” Atlas Hallow’s thin lips lightly parted: ”I’m not against you spending money. You can spend whatever I give you, but Hailey, have you ever thought that the moment you spent this money, you could no longer demand anything else?” If she were content, perhaps he would feel merciful and unwilling to tangle with her, but Atlas discovered that Hailey Hill only cared about maintaining the lifestyle she desired, not him.

Never profaning any pure emotions, he himself had never truly liked her; perhaps he had long perceived her material nature.

Yet he had another strange feeling; he actually hoped Charlotte Miller was materialistic. If she were, he could continuously provide her with ample money. Wouldn’t she always cling tightly to him, never wanting to leave?

His dislike for Charlotte Miller working stemmed from another significant reason: she had become incredibly strong and could handle anything herself, rendering him useless.

Perhaps men inherently have two sides, and he was no exception. Hailey Hill enjoyed shopping and spent extravagantly; in his eyes, this made him look down on her—not because of the money she spent, but because it made him question her character. However, if Charlotte Miller were spending money, he would be immensely pleased and find her extraordinarily cute, encouraging him to earn more, hoping she would continue spending, even if she wanted to buy an entire city.

Hailey Hill couldn’t bring herself to talk about past events, yet in her heart, she resented the Hallow Family even more, wishing they would all just die, preferably in a plane crash, so all those old codgers would perish.

Atlas Hallow had lost the patience to look at Hailey Hill’s false face any longer. Since Flix Hallow had brought up past events with him, he felt no significant debts to her. Of course, his father was a bit extreme, but if Hailey Hill had not provoked with her words, none of that would have happened.

Perhaps his father avoided elaborating to prevent provoking him further? But he didn’t wish to pursue matters any deeper. Now, he hoped Flower Snake would soon uncover some useful clues. Recently, Foster’s little son truly had troubled thoughts, so he didn’t want to bother him. Rarely has he fallen in love; let him clarify his feelings. Sure, he enjoys joking around with Foster, but he genuinely hopes his brother’s relationship progresses smoothly, especially Foster’s.

If Foster were to suffer a setback this time, who knows what might happen—it could turn the world upside down. Madam Foster deeply cares for him, might she cause some trouble over it?

When Hailey Hill left, Atlas Hallow didn’t even say goodbye. Self-proclaimed clever women are always irritating, plus she had deceived him for so many years, causing him to live constantly in guilt, which was the most unacceptable for him.

Essentially, Hailey Hill deceived him.

All men detest deceit, and he abhors it even more. Yet, the reason he wasn’t harsher with Hailey Hill was because she led him to Charlotte Miller. If every deceit resulted in a beautiful encounter, he’d accept it...

A soft smile played around his lips. She should be up by now, having breakfast, listening to music, watching the snow outside the window. Just imagining this scene, his heart began to feel warm.
