Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

Wearing professional attire for a meal is somewhat uncomfortable, so Charlotte Miller returned to her resting room where she always kept a few sets of clothes to change into when needed.

Charlotte wasn’t fond of wearing dresses while taking care of the child; it’s inconvenient to lift the child up and down. She changed into a pullover sweatshirt and leggings and set off directly.

”President Miller, if you tie your hair into a ponytail, you’ll really look like a high school student. Want me to give you a hair tie?” Annie Gray came in to tidy up the documents on Charlotte’s desk; important documents were always handled by her.

”Sure.” Charlotte replied quickly. Having long hair loose was indeed a bit uncomfortable.

Annie fished out a black hair tie from her pocket, and Charlotte swiftly tied her hair into a ponytail. True to Annie’s word, she really did look like a high school student, radiantly pure.

Charlotte pondered for a moment. She wasn’t actually that old; dressing like this shouldn’t be too over-the-top, right?

She drove her car all the way towards Atlas Hallow’s apartment.

She needed to take Mia there before the lights turned on because she heard that the moment the projection turned on was the most beautiful.

Meanwhile, at the Hallow Clan’s office, Atlas Hallow always felt the day moved slowly during this same time.

”President Hallow, a few different seats started acquiring our shares today.” Being Atlas Hallow’s special assistant, it was imperative to report such situations immediately.

Such minor changes might not concern Atlas Hallow too much, but he couldn’t ignore them either.

”I know.” Atlas Hallow’s deep voice rose in the air as if he had already anticipated all this.

Over the years, many had thought of infiltrating the Hallow Clan through the stock market. However, such ideas were often not practical.

”There’s a dinner tonight with Bank Chief Diaz, scheduled at the Glass Palace. I left two bottles of wine there for you. You probably won’t like the wine there; it’s more to the taste of young girls.” Earlier today, Bank Chief Diaz had called to arrange this dinner, and Atlas Hallow did not refuse, agreeing to attend.

Daniel Parker found it a bit odd why Bank Chief Diaz would choose that place. This spot is currently all the rage, one of the most famous internet celebrity restaurants. Normally, someone of Bank Chief Diaz’s status would arrange it at a private restaurant like Hidden Retreat Diner.

”Hmm...”

Daniel Parker observed Atlas Hallow’s distracted demeanor. He brewed him a cup of coffee and, after explaining the reserved seating, went off to handle his own tasks.

Since their former lady boss returned, their boss seemed somewhat worried about gains and losses. Not only did he have to maintain a tense vigilance himself, but he also had to instruct his subordinates to be extra careful and detailed when reporting recent work.

Atlas Hallow continued sitting in his office, watching as the sky gradually darkened.

Has she finally started?

She told him she wanted a very fair competition, so this time he didn’t plan to hold back, out of respect for her.

But how could he defeat her while still allowing her to achieve her goal?

The world has always lacked perfect solutions, yet he was determined to achieve a win-win.

By now, the time was almost right, so Atlas Hallow changed into a fresh set of clothes and drove himself to the restaurant they had agreed upon.

When Charlotte arrived at the apartment below, Freya Morgon and Luna Miller had just come down. Mia, being held by Luna, stretched her hands with a smile at the sight of her mommy.

”Mia, wait a bit. Mommy will hold you in a little while; Mommy has to drive now, okay?” Charlotte kissed Mia’s small cheek, finding her dressed like a little princess today.

Mia’s clothes were chosen by Luna: a black velvet dress, white little shoes, and a black hat, altogether exuding the noble appearance of a little princess.

It was their first formal family outing for dinner since returning, which explained why everyone was dressed so formally, though Charlotte felt she hadn’t put as much thought into her outfit.

It was the most relaxing time of the day, and Charlotte drove happily. If she weren’t a girl, she would probably be whistling with joy.

This restaurant called the Glass Palace had a parking lot outside, but it wasn’t very large. Charlotte spotted a space from afar. It was nearly full, so she hurried to drive over. But as she was maneuvering to park, another car suddenly drove in from the other side, skewing into the parking spot haphazardly.
