Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

Her almond-shaped eyes were dreamily unfathomable, capturing Brian Yates in a momentary daze when she smiled softly.

After attending to her hand injury, she hoped it wouldn’t leave a scar, because her future work wouldn’t tolerate any scars on her body.

Fortunately, she wasn’t prone to scarring, but if luck was against her, who could say?

”If you have any difficulties, I can help you.” He couldn’t call her Avery, but he was unwilling to call her sister-in-law; deep in his heart, he resisted this term.

”No, I don’t.”

Avery Jane gave him a dispassionate glance. What could he do if she said her difficulties came from his mother’s harshness and his sister’s unreasonable antics?

Was he really that foolish?

Didn’t he see through today’s happenings?

Everything seemed to return to calm, but all the tumultuous waves were just hidden beneath the serene surface.

They seethed, merely waiting for a day to break forth and change everyone’s lives.

At M.C Agency, the newly hired agent was preparing for the first time to take a few newcomers to an audition.

This time, the largest annual advertisement investment came from the globally renowned jewelry company, Grant Jewelry, set to select a few exceptional models for a photoshoot. This season, Grant Jewelry Company’s main designs are aimed at the younger generation under the theme ”Time Legend.”

The series showcased the elegance honed by time and age, coupled with a contemporary flair that left M.C unsatisfied with the big stars they previously proposed.

Given the event’s heavy emphasis and its first-ever launch in Asia, the selection process was extremely cautious and meticulous.

This time, their lead jewelry designer was personally selecting models for the photoshoot, encompassing all series collections, with impressively lucrative compensation. All the newcomers viewed this as the closest stepping stone to success, with a full year’s contract. What an opportunity!

”Avery Jane, have you thought it over? Jewelry photography heavily relies on showcasing feminine beauty. Once you succeed in the interview and sign the contract, there’s no turning back.” Accompanying the new agents to the audition was M.C Agency’s senior agent, Angela Scott.

”Avery Jane, if you need money, I have some you can use.” Angela Scott observed Avery’s composed demeanor; this industry was a big melting pot, and she truly didn’t want Avery to step into it.

She’s seen too many girls who initially stood their ground, but over time, certain things would corrode and change, eventually eroding the attractive qualities they originally possessed.

Often, they’d resort to entertaining clients with drinks for a major ad, even leading to more dangerous territory.

She didn’t want Avery to follow this path.

”Don’t worry, Scott, nothing’s going to happen to me.” A group of young, beautiful girls filed into Grant Corporation, with Avery standing out in a simple long dress, its fluttering fabric contrasting the others’ sleek cocktail dresses.

Every girl flaunted their most enchanting figures, their lens-enhanced eyes in varied hues, gray, violet, bright eyeliner, sensual lips, and sharp chins like pretty dolls fresh off the assembly line.

The newcomers subtly eyed the senior agent taking Avery aside, secretly simmering in irritation but nobody spoke a word.

In this circle, especially for newcomers, no one can predict who might rise to fame, so despite any grievances, tolerance was the norm. They all spoke of sisterhood, yet at times wished the worst for one another; one less competitor meant greater opportunity.

The strong metallic décor, silver streamlined strips, and white leather sofas were centered around a man in a dark blue shirt whose tailored fit accentuated his muscular form, with long, powerful legs beneath white pants.

Nobody expected that today’s audition would be held by Grant’s chief jewelry designer himself.

He was an Asian, yet grew up in the United Kingdom; his exquisite craftsmanship and bold imagination captivated countless discerning eyes of noblewomen, making commissioning a piece from him no easy feat now.

All the aspirants were exhilarated, knowing that establishing a connection with such a top designer could smooth their path in the industry significantly.

Yet Avery Jane remained quietly seated, without the slightest hint of excitement.
