Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

The entire room was filled with the rich aroma of coffee as Julian Carter busied himself with task. Soon, dark brown liquid emitted steam as it was poured into a cup, which he then placed on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

The gorgeous roses on the coffee table were blooming with captivating colors. Joshua Hughes looked at the dazzling flowers, but no flower could compare to his woman.

Thinking of this, he smiled, parted his thin lips, ”What exactly are you worried about?”

Right now was a time fraught with danger, yet he still had the mood to drink coffee and joke around. He was indeed quite skilled.

”At least, boss, there’s one aspect of your abilities that I don’t have to worry about.” Julian Carter sneered, having been kept waiting at the door for over two hours.

The same old saying goes, truly maddening.

”There’s indeed no need for you to worry about that. You’d better worry about yourself instead. Whether you can’t do it or don’t know how, how can you satisfy your woman’s needs? Can you manage that?” Joshua Hughes didn’t even lift his head, not sparing him a glance, as he picked up the coffee and took a sip, speaking indifferently.

Crazy, just crazy...

What could one do with a boss like this?

Fighting is pointless, fear of salary deduction, and anyway, he most likely couldn’t win. He couldn’t even manage a verbal spar without being crushed.

Why? Julian Carter almost felt like shouting to the heavens, but his face remained calm; the joke was played, now it’s time to get to the main topic.

”How did your tie end up in his office?” Don’t say it wasn’t Joshua Hughes who made the move, even if he did, it’s impossible that he’d use his own tie to strangle someone and then leave such crucial evidence lying around waiting for someone to catch.

This tie was clearly planted by someone on purpose.

”George Parker wasn’t strangled to death at all.” Joshua Hughes’ eyes were dense and unfathomably dark, sipping coffee slowly as he spoke.

”Not?” He’d just arrived, and the information he could gather was limited.

But Joshua Hughes sounded so sure, there must be more to this matter.

”George Parker had a habit of boxing, his skills were quite good. If someone tried to strangle him, it definitely wouldn’t be easy, there would be a fight. There were three people outside; if there were sounds of a fight inside, they definitely would have charged in. So, George Parker was strangled unconscious, possibly even killed before the setup took place.” Joshua Hughes’ voice was deep and magnetic, speaking with assured certainty, his judgment would certainly be correct.

”Then someone entered that room after you left; who exactly could it be? Even if someone wanted to betray George Parker, it wouldn’t be possible for all three people to betray him together. Those three aides gave the same testimony, you were the last person to enter the room.” Julian Carter sipped his coffee, trying not to partake in gruesome matters these past two years, yet they actively sought him out, and it was truly irritating.

”George Parker liked staying in that room the most; actually it has two doors. One is the entrance I used. There’s another small door inside, likely leading to his bedroom or somewhere else. The person who entered that day must have been very familiar to him since George Parker was completely unguarded, giving that person the opportunity.” Joshua Hughes’ eyes grew colder, almost as if frozen.

Killed by those closest to him, surely George Parker must be unable to rest in peace?

Because of trust, there was no defense, just like his father. Joshua Hughes’ eyes froze over; those who use emotions to hurt others for their own gain deserve to die, a thousand times wouldn’t be enough.

”You mean someone drugged George Parker, only then wouldn’t he struggle and let himself fall prey to such harm.” Julian Carter was a bit shocked, but the truth was that amidst wealthy families, there are always dark secrets, yet it was still somewhat difficult to take in.

”If an autopsy could be conducted, it would be best, but the Parker Family disagreed. Respect for the dead, their family doesn’t want George Parker’s stomach opened searching for anything. It’s their family matter, I can’t say much more. As long as the incident happened, traces will be left in time or space, even without an autopsy, we can find other ways.” The light outside the window began to dim, Joshua Hughes looked outside.
