Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

Charlotte Miller discovered that she had never been so nervous in her life, that this emotion could no longer be called simply nervousness.

She was plunged into panic...

Atlas Hallow had been kidnapped; how significant a matter was this!

He always carried some self-defense weapons with him, and he was very skilled, capable of taking on ten at once was not impossible.

In the parking lot of the Hallow Clan, if it was a large-scale fight, the security team would’ve been alerted long ago; there must be something fishy here.

Annie Gray brought over a black coffee; it was already dark, and she had no appetite at all, her eyes fixed intensely on her phone as she waited for a call from Flower Snake.

She took a sip of coffee, and suddenly the phone rang. Charlotte Miller’s nerves were tightly wound, and she hurriedly picked it up, only to find it wasn’t Flower Snake calling; it was Luna Miller.

”Charlotte, have you been out playing wildly or what? You’ve been away for two or three days now; mom’s worried...” Luna Miller continued in her usual strange and indifferent manner. Normally, Charlotte Miller would explain to her properly, but upon hearing Luna Miller’s call at this moment, she felt even more on the verge of collapsing.

”Luna, I can’t come back. Atlas Hallow has been kidnapped. You take good care of mom and Mia.” After speaking, she hung up. She seemed to have a firm determination; no matter how dangerous it was, she had to rescue Atlas Hallow.

She couldn’t let him be in danger alone, right? He had done everything for her; she too must be willing to follow him through life and death.

Charlotte Miller continued waiting for news. After finishing a cup of black coffee, even her stomach felt a bit uncomfortable.

She didn’t receive any news; however, Luna Miller arrived twenty minutes later.

She appeared to be in a hurry, without even putting on makeup, and she looked a bit pale. This was her first time coming to Charlotte Miller’s office.

”When did it happen, how was he kidnapped, isn’t he quite capable?” Luna Miller’s face showed anxiousness; upon seeing Charlotte Miller, she realized her tone had become urgent.

”Don’t flatter yourself; I already have someone I like. I’m concerned for Mia,” Luna Miller said, taking away the black coffee from Charlotte Miller’s desk and then unfolded a small leather paper bag in her hand, revealing a small cheesecake inside.

”Eat this, replenish some energy...”

”Luna, if he can come back safely, can I marry him? I want to marry him and be with him. Can you agree?” Charlotte Miller’s eyes were red, and her words seemed aimless.

From the moment she knew he was kidnapped, she thought of his repeated marriage proposals, yet she had once again refused each time; if anything happened to him, would she have regrets for life?

”Eat this, then marry him if you wish.” Luna Miller pushed the cake to Charlotte Miller’s front, seemingly indicating eating something was the most crucial task.

The two sisters sat on the sofa, both exchanging black tea; Charlotte Miller devoured the cheesecake in three bites, making her stomach feel a bit better, yet the anxiety deepened.

No one called, but when the phone finally rang, the number that appeared was one Charlotte Miller had never expected; it turned out to be Amir.

Had he heard of this too? Was he also rushing around for Atlas Hallow?

Or did he already have news?

Charlotte Miller quickly tapped the answer button, and Amir’s voice came through the signal, saying words that made Charlotte Miller somewhat incredulous.

”Charlotte, Atlas Hallow has been kidnapped. They need to convert 50% of Hallow Clan’s stock into cash and then transfer it into their designated account. You certainly have no issue with this, given the many channels you have for moving money,” Amir calmly said over the phone.

Charlotte Miller’s heart sank entirely; the most terrifying thing had indeed happened.

Atlas Hallow had never believed Amir would have any ill intentions, but it was precisely this trusted cousin who did something to him.

No wonder they could kidnap Atlas Hallow; if not someone familiar, a trusted individual, why would he be kidnapped?

”Tell me how you kidnapped him, don’t leave out a single detail. I can give the money, but I need to know everything. If anything happens to him, I will make your family pay, I swear on my daughter’s name.” Charlotte Miller trembled with anger, her voice cold and frightening.

Luna Miller watched Charlotte Miller; at this moment, her sister seemed to have transformed into someone unrecognizable.

”I want him to get something from the Hallow Family because there’s a safe box with half of the password held by each of us. I asked him to get into my car; once he did, there was a drug that made him drowsy. Without me, nobody could kidnap him easily. I just wanted to use that 50% stock to exchange for my father’s life. You only need to pay, and he’ll be fine. The Mexicans also want peaceful proceedings,” Amir said with a tone of helplessness.

He had no choice. His mother was already in prison, and it was uncertain if she’d come out alive. Now only his father remained; even being jailed was better than being hunted and dying miserably on the street, right?

No matter how bad, he was still his father. When Amir saw his father more pitiable than a dog begging him, he couldn’t sit back and do nothing.

”I have nothing to say then; your father cut the brake lines, claiming Atlas Hallow’s parents’ lives, had Atlas Hallow’s daughter kidnapped, and almost trapped us in Las Vegas. Do you know he is unforgivable? Yet you dare to ask for 50% of the Hallow Clan? No problem; I’ll give the money; as long as you return him to me, that’s all.” Charlotte Miller laughed coldly, knowing that Atlas Hallow was fine brought her slight peace.

”I won’t protect him. He will spend the remainder of his life in prison...” Amir closed his eyes, speaking powerlessly.

”You should know that converting 50% of Hallow Clan stocks into cash quickly is unrealistic, and I am not Atlas Hallow; I can’t deal with Hallow Clan’s stock.” Charlotte Miller saw clearly; money was just an external possession. Now Atlas Hallow was in someone else’s hands, not to mention half of Hallow Clan; even all of it, she would still be willing to surrender, except she couldn’t manage it.

”Of course, he made a will four years ago. If anything happened to him, all his assets would belong to you, and in emergencies, you could represent him in any matters. This was set when you divorced and went abroad.” Amir unintentionally revealed this fact, as if dropping a bomb that made Charlotte Miller’s mind buzz ceaselessly.

He made such a will after she left; was it true?

”I can give you seven days, keeping him alive for seven days, but beyond that, I have no option.” Amir gritted his teeth and said resolutely: ”I know 50% of Hallow Clan’s stock is massive; it can’t be managed quickly, but you can pledge it.”

”I have to first see how he’s doing now.” Charlotte Miller was still uneasy; cases existed where people were killed then the ransom was demanded afterward.

Thinking of this possibility sent chills down her spine.

Amir hung up the phone; shortly afterward, her phone received a photo.

Upon seeing it, Charlotte Miller couldn’t hold back any longer, collapsing onto the sofa, tears streaming down like rain.

Atlas Hallow had always been strong, but now he was trapped in a metal cage. He sat there as if a lion king deprived of freedom.

How could they treat him like this? That cage made it impossible for him even to stand upright; how could they treat him like this?

Charlotte Miller was going crazy; she quickly downed the tea and hurriedly dialed Flower Snake.

There needed to be a dual approach now, preparing to rescue while handling some Hallow Clan stock, even if just for show, not letting them suspect anything. Atlas Hallow was presently in their hands, and she dared not be careless.

”I just received a call; it was done by his cousin. He is now locked in a cage, and they’re asking for 50% of Hallow Clan’s stock. But I can’t handle it all at once.” Charlotte Miller briefly explained the situation, hoping to hear Flower Snake’s opinion.

”You don’t have to rush; he won’t be in immediate danger. I’ve already activated SkyNet to trace Amir’s car travels from Hallow Clan to other locations.” First shrink the scope and then proceed; as long as he hasn’t left the country, rescuing will be much faster.

”He is likely in a basement because there is neither light nor windows.” Charlotte Miller thought of the image she just saw; it was dark except for a faint light shining on Atlas Hallow, letting her see it was him there.

”Okay, if they call again, inform me promptly.” Flower Snake advised after hanging up.

Charlotte Miller sat on the sofa; she could do nothing for now but wait until tomorrow to head to Hallow Clan and meet Atlas Hallow’s lawyer to discuss handling the stocks.
