Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

Nine o’clock in the evening, Four Seasons Hotel...

Joseph Shaw originally intended to arrive a bit late, but somehow he ended up being punctual.

The room had been booked long ago, yet Annie Gray still hadn’t arrived.

He generally disliked waiting for people, but Annie Gray had made him wait.

She hasn’t worked by his side in merely three years, yet she’s forgotten all the rules?

Time ticked away second by second, then half an hour, an hour...

After an hour passed, Joseph Shaw was almost floating with anger.

What the hell?

Was she standing him up?

Was she lying to him in the morning?

The thought of being deceived made Joseph Shaw immediately jump up from the bed, hurrying to put on clothes and rush out to catch her.

Dare to deceive him, he should drag this woman out, no matter where she’s hiding.

But just as he buttoned his shirt and was about to step out, the door swung open with the buzz of the electric lock.

As Annie Gray pushed open the door, her face seemed a bit weary.

”I waited for you for a whole hour, care to explain?” Joseph Shaw unbuttoned his shirt again when he saw Annie Gray walk in.

Pants off too, stark naked, leaning comfortably on the sofa, not minding his nudity at all.

Hmm, although their relationship was once intimate, it was now quite hard to look at.

Annie Gray averted her gaze, whispering, ”I just took President Miller to the airport, she’s flying back to the United States.”

”Why are you standing? Take off your clothes.” Joseph Shaw patted his strong thigh, indicating for her to come sit.

”Another day, I’m a bit tired.” Annie Gray rubbed her temple, she was indeed quite tired.

Too many unexpected events piled up today, attending consecutive meetings followed by driving President Miller and Rogers to the airport, now truly lacked the energy.

Especially when looking at Joseph Shaw stripping naked, it only killed her appetite, though his physique was certainly impressive, distinct lines and well-toned muscles.

Initially she thought about not coming, but felt if she didn’t come, Joseph Shaw would surely vent his anger at her given his temper, hence she came to explain, yet he showed no understanding, practically akin to a beast.

”No way, I’ve waited an hour already, plus you won’t have to exert yourself for this.” Joseph Shaw made the move to stand and handle things himself, Annie Gray sighed, glanced at the bathroom, surely she should bathe first?

”Hurry up...” Joseph Shaw impatiently urged, watching her throw her bag on the sofa, barefooted heading to the bathroom.

In hindsight, she regretted agreeing to him in the morning to come to the hotel at night, seeing him like this, bet he wouldn’t be able to get up tomorrow.

After the bathroom door closed, Joseph Shaw picked up the phone to call Atlas Hallow, presumably accompanying Charlotte Miller back to the United States?

Yet if that was the case, why was Annie driving?

Whether he went or not seemed odd, because if he did, Atlas Hallow would need to sign those crucial documents on his desk tomorrow, if he didn’t go then?

That seemed unlikely, Atlas Hallow had searched for Charlotte Miller for so long, crazily with no reason, would he let her go alone back to the United States?

Questions exploded into action in his mind, he picked up the phone to call Atlas Hallow.

”Are you boarding the plane?” Joseph Shaw listened to the silence on the end, didn’t sound like the airport, and Atlas Hallow wouldn’t rush to catch a flight?

He used his private jet, seems he didn’t go with Charlotte Miller.

”Boarding a plane?” Atlas Hallow’s car slowly approached the hotel where Charlotte Miller stayed.

”I guess you didn’t follow your wife to the United States, so comfortably let her go alone, aren’t you afraid she’ll run off again?” Joseph Shaw wasn’t clear on Charlotte Miller’s return details, only certain Atlas Hallow wouldn’t let Charlotte Miller go alone.

Upon hearing Charlotte Miller’s departure, Atlas Hallow’s robust body shuddered heavily.

His expression showed disbelief and dazedness, deep eyes flickering with stubborn and despairing light.

She silently left?

Atlas Hallow never imagined Charlotte Miller would leave at this time.

His ears buzzed, hands clutching the steering wheel tightly, heart engulfed by blazing flames, burning all rationality clean.

His deep eyes reflected a faint mist, quickly turning the steering wheel, driving the car lightning-fast towards the airport.

Cars nearby swiftly got out of the way, watching the black car vanish, couldn’t help but marvel, the driver surely was reckless, speeding like wings would take flight.

Despite the distance to the airport, he reached it in record time.

He knew speaking here would be futile, Charlotte Miller might not listen, nor stay.

Now he realized Charlotte Miller secretly hated him, blamed him for losing their two children, but not only she suffered, he wanted to die from the pain yet what could be done? Everything undesired happened.

He couldn’t restrain finding her, he must ask when she’d return? Will she never come back?

That day, initially he learned of Charlotte Miller’s home purchase, thought all day she finally returned.

Even thought she might not be that in love with Rogers, won’t wish to stay in the United States long since here is her hometown.

But suddenly heard news of her leaving, felt like being split apart.

The car stopped randomly, someone already awaited him: ”President Hallow, Miss Miller indeed booked a ticket to the United States.” The airport staff led Atlas Hallow towards the boarding gate for the departing flight.

”Delay is common, I’m accustomed to it, just a bit worried...” Charlotte Miller frowned, today’s call from her mom nearly scared her heart to a stop.

Mia Miller suddenly coughed severely, her mom said she was purple, immediately sent to the doctor, just called saying Luna Miller fed Mia a bit of nuts, didn’t chew well and swallowed, fragments stuck in throat, now much better.

But she still worried, also today introduced a traditional Chinese doctor, heard him discuss Mia’s condition, strongly felt a nourishing regimen needed, hence promptly determined to bring Mia back.

”Don’t worry, foreign object in trachea is doctor’s expertise.” Rogers actually worried more than Charlotte Miller, since Mia grew from critical infant under his care, witnessing her progress, emotional journey beyond others’ comprehension.

Atlas Hallow nearly ran, rushing in front of Charlotte Miller, breathing heavily.

”What are you doing here?” Charlotte Miller frowned, his sudden appearance surely not coincidental.

”What are you doing here? Are you leaving without a word again?” Barely missing her disappearing again scared Atlas Hallow’s face pale.

”Do I need to report my whereabouts to you? What are you to me?” Charlotte Miller hated his attitude where seemed need his approval for everything, without basic respect, conversing too much ignited her anger.

”Let me ask differently, when will you return?” Seeing Charlotte Miller’s darkening face, Atlas Hallow didn’t give up, persisted.

”None of your business now, Atlas Hallow, you must understand you have no right to control anything about me.” Charlotte Miller spoke seriously, and just then the boarding announcement came, she pulled Rogers along without delaying to exchange words.

”Farewell Mr. Ex-husband...” Rogers casually waved, bidding Atlas Hallow goodbye.

”Rogers, if you misuse idioms again, I’ll really get mad.” Charlotte Miller harshly glared at Rogers, she didn’t like the phrase ’farewell’.
