Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

Indeed, the mashed potatoes here are exceptionally delicious, with added thin strips of cheese, crushed nuts, and raisins. Charlotte Miller carefully picked out the crushed nuts and placed them into Mia’s bowl, letting her eat.

Then they began to eat. Charlotte felt that Luna’s mood was somewhat off, so she specially ordered her a peach-flavored champagne, which she liked.

Eleanor Davis was waiting for someone she had managed to arrange a meeting with, after much difficulty.

At the sound of the evening party, she didn’t know what she had done wrong to make Atlas Hallow’s attitude so cold. Later, she wondered if perhaps Atlas didn’t like being in the spotlight, and she had mentioned him by name?

She should apologize to Atlas Hallow and take the opportunity to know him better.

Most of her peers who debuted with her aim to marry into wealth, which is the ultimate goal for women in the entertainment industry. However, she wants to marry into the wealthiest of the wealthy.

Atlas Hallow is absolutely the best choice, and he is indeed incredibly attractive, quite captivating.

Rumor has it that he is aloof, but that doesn’t matter; he’ll warm up eventually.

She dared not be late and even arrived a bit earlier than the appointed time, just to make Atlas Hallow feel she was an extraordinary woman.

Checking her outfit, there was nothing inappropriate about it. Pure yet sexy, her legs were particularly beautiful, and the short skirt undeniably accentuated her assets.

She glanced at the entrance from time to time, finally seeing the figure she longed for.

No matter how many magazine photos she had seen, they couldn’t compare to seeing him in person.

At that moment, the restaurant lights began to dim. From a corner of the glass, a tender green shoot sprouted, rapidly growing into a tangle of vines and branches that filled the entire restaurant, extending to the roof, from which flower buds appeared and blossomed one by one, as if they couldn’t wait for spring’s light...

Mia, who was eating mashed potatoes, sat there dazed, with saliva slowly trickling from her pink lips, utterly captivated, reaching out as though only the scenery was reflected on her little hand, with a somewhat dreamy hue.

Charlotte, full of joy, leaned forward and gently wiped the drool from her daughter’s mouth with the handkerchief she carried with her.

It seems she truly likes this place, and they could come more often in the future.

As the flowers reached their peak, the atmosphere in the entire restaurant changed, which Charlotte seemed to sense too.

A familiar, powerful presence—could it be Atlas Hallow?

But why would he come to this kind of restaurant? Regardless of how the dishes were made, dining in this transparent structure, enjoying the most beautiful lighting, wasn’t something he would typically do.

Atlas Hallow reached the reserved seat, only to find someone sitting there already, and it wasn’t the Bank Chief Diaz he had arranged to meet.

Who is this woman?

”Hello, President Hallow...” Eleanor Davis stood up with a radiant smile: ”Don’t you remember me? As they say, distinguished people often forget things. I was the host at yesterday’s event, Eleanor.”

This person did seem familiar, but why was she here?

”Here’s the thing, Uncle Diaz is a war buddy of my father’s, they have a good relationship, so I asked him to arrange for you to come over. Mainly, I wanted to apologize for yesterday. I acted without checking with you and let you on stage to cooperate with the program. That was truly my fault.” While Eleanor invited Atlas Hallow to sit down, she handed him the menu: ”I am hosting today, please make yourself comfortable. If the Hallow Clan needs a host for future annual meetings, I am willing to offer my services without charge.”

She was already giving it her all; Atlas shouldn’t refuse her, right?

Even if he wouldn’t give her face, he should give some to the Bank Chief, right? Just a little time together would be great.

In this world, is there any man who doesn’t take the bait?

”Good thing I didn’t let you be with him... Your ex-husband, just look at him...” Luna said sarcastically, facing Atlas, while Charlotte’s back was turned, probably having not seen him yet.

Charlotte was taken aback and turned her head, suddenly seeing that familiar figure.
