Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

The term ”Young Madam” clearly pleased Joshua Hughes, his thin lips curving up into a sexy line.

”Does it matter if she wins or not? She just likes to play, so let her play more. If she plays herself to death, that’s on me; if she loses, that’s also on me.” Joshua’s long fingers lightly tapped the table, exuding an air of arrogance and dominance.

His gaze was firm. The meaning of his words was very simple: if Avery Jane won, she could demand Tate Hunter’s life; even if she lost, he would still fulfill Avery Jane’s wish. Either way, Tate Hunter was as good as dead.

He definitely had to kill Big Head Geogre and his son. If he didn’t act, Atlas Hallow would make a move, but how could he let Atlas do it when it was something he was doing for Avery Jane?

Edward Parker truly felt that Joshua Hughes was domineering to the point of being outrageous.

Luckily, this man was not an enemy. Even if they weren’t best friends, they could still be considered friends.

He actually suspected that Joshua had manipulated the seating arrangement on the computer. Otherwise, how could it match what he had told him the night before?

It seemed as if everything was firmly in his grasp, but naturally, he didn’t ask much about it, because someone was helping him eliminate a nemesis and avenging the murder of his father. It didn’t matter who made the move.

In the same hotel, in the suite where Avery Jane and Eliza Bell were staying, there was suddenly an indescribable feeling between them.

This was the situation they had always wanted. Now, they had reached the final step. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but it was too smooth, making it feel quite unreal.

Charlotte Miller brought a bottle of champagne, smiling, and said, ”Avery, when you return victorious tomorrow, we’ll open this bottle of champagne. Luna’s three fingers were also cut off by them, so we’re relying on you too...”

Eliza Bell, however, was a bit worried and asked quietly, ”Sister, if you lose tomorrow and that jerk proposes some excessive condition, what would you do?”

Even though they had made the most thorough arrangements, what if, just what if they lost?

They had imagined countless times the victory when they would watch that losing man cut off three of his fingers with pleasure, but what if they lost?

Charlotte thought that even if they lost, it wouldn’t matter. Atlas Hallow had said Joshua Hughes had already arrived in Las Vegas and had arranged everything, but he told her not to tell Avery so as not to affect her emotions before the final.

”I won’t, I absolutely won’t lose...” Avery Jane stood in front of the window. The night view of Las Vegas was so enchanting, but she had no interest in appreciating it.

Tonight, she particularly missed Joshua Hughes. She didn’t know why; she just desperately wanted to hear his voice. That feeling was truly a torment.

Between love and hate, like darkness and light, she often wondered if she could leap across, jumping from darkness to light. But that man had deceived her too many times, deceiving her so that she couldn’t trust his love, even if she loved him.

But she never guessed that the man she was missing was staying right above her. He stood at the window, just like her, looking at the night view of Las Vegas. As she thought of him, he uncontrollably thought of her even more.

Thinking of her face, the ice and snow in his eyes melted, and in his gaze, only the deep and shallow, dense love for her intertwined.

Charlotte Miller stood behind Avery Jane, still so full of emotion. She really couldn’t believe there was such a convoluted love in this world, so strange and unbelievable. If she and Atlas Hallow could be considered a story, then the tale of Joshua Hughes and Avery Jane could be called a legend.

This was the second time she had makeup, besides her wedding day; today was the second time.

Eliza Bell looked at her work, extremely satisfied.

Avery Jane’s full head of black, silky hair was styled into a neat bun, revealing her smooth forehead and delicately sculpted face. The light foundation highlighted her egg-like clear skin. For the smokey eye makeup, she first used brown or gray eyeshadow to create a gradient effect on Avery Jane’s eyelids.

Afterward, she used an eyeliner gel to draw a fine line. She filled in the front corner of the eyes while elongating the outer corners, creating eyes as alluring as a cat’s.

Finally, she applied a matte nude lipstick, enough to captivate the masses.

Eliza Bell watched Avery Jane change into her clothes, drape a large black shawl around her shoulders. She thought not just men, but even women would be drawn to her.
