Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

After returning to the Hallow Family, life seemed to return to peace.

Charlotte Miller thought that Atlas Hallow should go back to sleeping in the study as he had done some days ago, since the doctor had instructed so, and he should follow the rules.

During this time, he shouldn’t disturb her again.

She could also rest assured, take a break, and continue to plan her divorce.

What she didn’t expect was that Atlas Hallow would still return to their bedroom to rest every day after returning to the Hallow Family, without any intention of sleeping in separate rooms.

The feeling of the two of them living in the same room was very strange.

There was hardly any conversation, let alone intimate actions, which made things extremely awkward.

This awkwardness left Charlotte at a loss, for their relationship used to be so close, like a couple in love, and now it had come to this state.

Actually, there were indeed a lot of things going on recently for Atlas, but fortunately, the matters he wanted to know about soon had some news.

In fact, investigating this matter was not difficult; it just required checking where the money in Ava Walker and Ella Johnson’s accounts came from.

When Daniel Parker handed over the bank statements to Atlas, he was still somewhat surprised.

The person who transferred the small sum of money actually knew how to avoid others’ attention, putting in some effort, transferring through several channels into other company accounts before it finally reached Ava’s account, but no matter how it was transferred, following this clue step by step, it soon led to the truth.

When Kinsley Lee’s name appeared in his sights, it did indeed surprise him.

He hadn’t expected that the person helping Ava was Kinsley; why would she help Naomi Walker?

Could it be that the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law relationship between them was truly this deep?

This might have been the most rash decision Atlas had made in his life, which he regretted the most, to hand this matter over to Flix Hallow to handle.

He decided not to delve into it any further, even though the entire Hallow Clan was under his management and his status in the Hallow Family was unshaken. However, Kinsley was his elder, and she always bore a grudge against him because of Amir’s matters.

In fact, he had no intention of coveting the family’s entire industry as Kinsley suspected, and he just wanted to give his parents, as well as Amir, an easy way out of the situation.

Atlas made a call to Flix Hallow, asking him to tell Kinsley that this matter should end here, instructing her to stop immediately and never give Ava another cent. When he said ”this is the last time,” he could clearly feel the relieved sigh from the other end of the line from Flix.

Actually, he didn’t want to blow up the situation further, intending to give himself and Charlotte a quieter space; otherwise, everyone would rush back from abroad, making the Hallow Family too noisy for Charlotte to recuperate.

While Atlas was dealing with these matters, Charlotte was also busy with her own.

The result of her phone communication with the lawyer was still inevitable and could not be settled collaboratively because Atlas would not agree.

So, she had to file a lawsuit. Charlotte contemplated all the consequences because it involved the president of the wealthiest group, so there was a lot to prepare, but because she planned to leave without any of the assets, it would shorten some time.

She didn’t need any of his assets because money was just a numbers game, filled with fun but not necessary for her, as she had already earned enough for herself.

After the lawyer had drawn up the divorce agreement for Charlotte, she felt it was clear and reasonable, believing that Atlas wouldn’t have any more ways to trouble her, right?

All the divorce cases dragging on endlessly were all due to two reasons: division of assets and child custody, neither of which existed between them.

She didn’t want the assets, the child was gone, so straightforward that the divorce agreement was less than two pages long. Compared to the lengthy court documents of dozens of pages in prestigious family divorces, hers was certainly a unique breath of fresh air, right?

Charlotte believed her divorce was just a matter of time.

Now, there was another immediate matter she had to solve, which was to free herself from Atlas’s surveillance.

She was increasingly unwilling to continue coexisting with Atlas like this.

Every time seeing him reminded her of the process of being hurt and the little fetus being taken from her body, the longer it went on, the clearer the pain became.

So, after seeing the draft of the divorce agreement, she decided to propose separation as well; what else was there to care about after everything was torn apart?

This divorce battle was about to erupt, and Charlotte felt the need to notify Jack Smith to keep his distance.

Who knew what kind of things Atlas might do when he lost control?

He would definitely affect the innocent, and Jack would be the first one to get caught in the crossfire.

But now even going out was very difficult; how could she meet Jack?

If she waited until Atlas received the lawyer’s notice or court summons to remind Jack, it might already be too late, and perhaps Jack would have already been erased by Atlas, right?

Charlotte paced back and forth in the bedroom, unable to think of a way to go out.

At this moment, she wasn’t the only one anxious.

Everyone was anxious, Kinsley, Ava, and Hailey Hill, it was already a mess.

”How could you let Atlas find out I gave you money? At least four people and two companies transferred to your account; unless you revealed something, how could he have checked?”

Kinsley Lee was almost furious, her voice over the phone full of discontent, as if she wished she could jump out of the phone to point and question Ava Walker.

”Is this my fault?” Ava said resentfully.

”Don’t you know who Atlas is? Perhaps all your accounts were monitored by him from the start, so after you transferred the money, he came to trouble you.” Ava sneered, wondering if Atlas wanted to block all her paths.

Having money, her life was still quite good, staying in five-star hotels, doing beauty treatments, having afternoon tea every day; although she was unhappy, she could still manage.

But what would happen if there was no more money?

Would she, like all those young girls, have to struggle for a few thousand yuan salary a month, taking buses and squeezing into subways, not daring to even buy a bag? Such a life was not something she could bear at all.

”I don’t care about this. It’s a matter between you and the Hallow Family, solve it yourself. Or you could just give me all the money at once, and I won’t bother you again.” Might as well ask for more and be done with it, Ava thought, holding a glass of red wine, speaking leisurely.

”Impossible, I don’t have any cash now.” Despite her anger, Kinsley had to speak calmly; if Atlas found out she was behind this, she might be the next to be kicked out of the Hallow Family.

”What does not having cash matter? You’ve been married into the Hallow Family for decades; doesn’t Flix Hallow buy you jewelry every birthday or anniversary, plus what you buy yourself? Even if sold for half, it’s a few hundred million, right?” Ava took a sip of wine, her mind a bit chaotic, just wanting money to keep buying and spending so she’d forget her worries.

”Impossible, you’re crazy...” Jewelry for women is like their face, even more crucial for Kinsley; selling it was worse than being killed.

”Nothing is impossible. If Atlas finds out what you did, you won’t be able to keep those things either. I’ll give you a price, five billion. After getting the money, I’ll leave the country and never return. How about it?” Ava drank her wine in one gulp, her eyes fixed on the distant building.

She lived there because she could see Atlas’s office from afar, still indescribably alluring to her from a distance.

What was the use of the hatred?

She couldn’t do anything to him, nor to Charlotte. She had heard Charlotte had a miscarriage, but she would have another child, while Ava would leave here in disgrace.

If she didn’t leave, she’d be in danger because Hailey was like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode anytime.

But she was unwilling; when she got the large sum, she’d find a way to kill Charlotte. If not to death, then crippled. If not for her, how could she have ended up like this?

Atlas’s prowess was useless; with money, one could even make the dreaded spirits move, hiring someone to kill was the simplest.

Ava’s gaze on the distant building, her love turned into hatred, was so intense it seemed flames were burning in her eyes, ready to consume everything...
