Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

Mia pulls Charlotte Miller’s hand and walks onto the carpet. Charlotte takes off her shoes and sits down, letting the breeze in the yard lift her hair, making her feel incredibly relaxed.

Although it’s just a thousand-piece puzzle, it’s quite challenging because the patterns are so similar, without any distinctive color blocks to differentiate them. Yet, Mia actually enjoys it.

Mia seems to be a very patient child, almost as if it’s a natural talent. When she sits quietly, her small hands picking up pieces from the box and searching for traces, she looks just like Atlas Hallow poring over documents in his office.

This kind of life is truly beautiful. Her mommy is almost asleep in the rocking chair, Luna Miller is probably in her room playing games, and she accompanies Mia in solving puzzles, as if all the hard work is worthwhile.

I hope Annie Gray can also enjoy this, basking in the sun with her child years later, warm and secure.

”Luna, let’s go out tonight.” This should be a place Luna is most familiar with; she’s become a homebody at home, but she used to be the quintessential nightclub queen.

”Me?” Luna steps out of her room with the sunlight poking her eyes, squinting as she hears Charlotte inviting her out, slightly surprised. Going out at night—what does that mean?

She isn’t talking about dining, strolling, or shopping. When she says fun, it naturally means nightlife in the later hours.

”Why not? You’re familiar with it; why not take us?” Charlotte feels that if Luna continues like this, she’ll grow mold; she’s always gaming, seemingly doing nothing else besides that, and she even earns pocket money from gaming.

In the past, she would’ve been a USD player, right?

But as long as she’s happy, now Luna’s life seems even simpler than hers.

”Oh,...” Luna hums without saying much, just sits beside Mia, fiddling with the puzzles.

Charlotte takes that ’oh’ as a yes.

The kind of smile that unfurls from the depths of one’s heart reaches her eyes and brows. She never thought she’d have a peaceful day with Charlotte.

The time spent with little Mia flies the fastest—playing puzzles, playing princess games, bathing her, having dinner, and by the time she’s put Mia to sleep, it’s nearly nine o’clock.

The timing is just right.

”Mommy, today Luna and I are going out for a small drink. Sleep early; don’t wait up for us.” Charlotte pulls Luna out quickly. They don’t seem to have any clothes suitable for the nightclub; she now needs to pick up Annie and get some nightclub-fitting outfits, something Luna should be good at.

The bodyguard’s car follows at a distance. Wherever she goes, these people follow, which makes things safer. If anything happens, one call and they’ll be there within five minutes.

When the three women walk in, as Charlotte had said, they almost light up the entire nightclub.

No nightclub girls are as dazzling as they are.

Annie wears a tight short skirt, just barely covering her hips. Luna wears a camisole with low-rise jeans, revealing a slim, fair waist. After her father’s passing, Luna gave up many bad habits, removed cosmetic implants, and after years of recuperation at home, she hardly changed at all—aside from a slightly sharper face, she still resembles the pretty Luna from several years ago.

Charlotte wears a long, black silk gown. Thin straps intersect at the back, exposing most of her smooth, white back. Her delicate collarbone is so striking that eyes can’t help but linger on it. The soft hem sways like smoky ink, drawing all men’s attention.

Luna brings them to this place, which is definitely a hotspot for trendy individuals. Upon entering, there’s a sense of revelry; giant crystal lamps reflect the colorful night as explosive music seems to make one’s blood boil.

Flashing lights delicately carve human body contours, as though entering another world...

Looking around, all the women wear spaghetti-strap dresses and high-heeled sandals, looking quite pleasing to the eye. At least they’ve blended in well.

What shocked Charlotte most was that Luna actually found Jack Smith.
