Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

He used all his strength to conceal his sadness, and exerted all his efforts not to collapse, but his large hands, which began to tremble involuntarily, betrayed it all.

Watching Daniel Parker accompany Charlotte Miller into the elevator, Atlas Hallow finally pressed his hand against his heart and slowly squatted down. A part deep inside his heart was hollowed out, creating a bloody, gaping hole, making it feel like he couldn’t breathe...

Charlotte wanted to stay and accompany him, but Atlas Hallow said it was too dangerous now, and even one more second could lead to an accident. He insisted Daniel take her back and then send them to the place he had arranged.

The car was driving on the road when Daniel Parker said in a somber tone, ”Charlotte, in President Hallow’s eyes, you actually hold the most important place.”

Daniel understood Atlas Hallow. Over the years, Flix Hallow and Ayla Kim had mostly relocated to Europe due to poor air quality, and because Atlas had long been able to lead the entire Hallow Clan, they rarely returned. Although Atlas appeared somewhat cold towards his parents on the surface, a sudden incident like this was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.

Yet he still thought to ensure Charlotte was sent to a secure place first, showing just how important Charlotte was in his heart.

Daniel himself didn’t dare to be careless. He hadn’t felt such tension in many years. The daughter of his boss was the apple of his boss’s eye; she absolutely couldn’t be harmed. Not only did he come, but he also brought a few others along.

When Charlotte saw Mia Miller, the little girl was as delighted as a mouse that had stolen oil, giggling with her hand over her mouth.

”Mia, did you eat candy?” When Mia leaped into her embrace, Charlotte smelled a faint, sweet fragrance. Seeing her smiling like that, Mia certainly seemed very excited.

”Just a little bit...” Mia stuck out a little pink tongue, and indeed, there was a small piece of shiny fruit candy on it, already melted down to a tiny piece.

It must have been Luna who gave it to her. Charlotte pinched her nose, and when she stood up, she saw her mommy pushing out two suitcases.

Freya Morgon never asked her daughter why they had to stay here or why they had to move out so quickly after just a few days. When Charlotte asked her to pack up to leave immediately, she promptly did so.

Luckily, it was just some clothes to change into, so it didn’t take much time to pack up.

The people who came along carried the luggage downstairs, and Daniel Parker drove the car through the most bustling streets until they reached outside the alley of the Foster Family.

The housekeeper had received word from their Fifth Young Master the day before, saying Atlas Hallow wanted to borrow a courtyard to stay. Other than the courtyard where the Fifth Young Master lived, he prepared the best one available.

No one expected them to move in so soon.

Eldest Young Master Hallow still had some pull in front of their family’s Fifth Young Master. Women had never entered this alley, except for Cecilia Wilson, and now, all of a sudden, four women came in. To be precise, it was three women and one little girl. Who knew if they would disturb the Fifth Young Master.

”Please follow me inside. You are a distinguished guest, but there are a few words I think I should say first...” The housekeeper walked at the front, guiding Charlotte inside with a respectful voice.

”The courtyard at the very end is where our Fifth Young Master lives. Our Fifth Young Master has loved peace and quiet since childhood and doesn’t see outsiders, so unless there’s something particularly urgent, you don’t need to go there. If you need anything, just come to me,” the housekeeper spoke very politely, merely emphasizing that they shouldn’t approach the courtyard where the Foster Family’s Fifth Young Master lived.

The housekeeper hadn’t finished speaking when a commotion started outside.

”Miss Wilson fell... Quick, Miss Wilson was pushed down...” Even at a distance, Charlotte could feel the tremor in the loud man’s voice, as if he were scared to death.

What’s the big deal about falling?

But she realized that Miss Wilson falling might indeed be an extremely terrifying event.

Because the housekeeper’s face turned pale, as though he was about to cry.

He could no longer pay attention to them, waved to a few servants to assist Charlotte in settling in, and dashed out like an old hunting dog, even his steps were a bit chaotic.
