Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

Joshua Hughes’s words made Avery Jane feel a creeping chill up her spine, like a worm causing her to shiver uncontrollably.

The car stopped steadily at the entrance of the M.C Headquarters, and he said one last thing: ”Don’t play this game of cat and mouse with me anymore. Once or twice might be a little fun, but too much is just you being disrespectful.”

Watching her eager attempt to leap out of the car, the man sternly warned her not to do anything that would displease him again.

Avery Jane turned a deaf ear, like a little prey desperately fleeing from a hunter.

The afternoon sunlight fell on her black hair, bringing with it a soft, captivating luster.

Three days, within three days, he must have her willingly climb into his bed...

No one knows why things always change so quickly, so suddenly.

Everything went smoothly at work, the first day, the second day, as if nothing had happened.

Avery Jane sat by the window, wondering if the man was too busy, because even without knowing, she understood that the business empire of the Hughes Clan must be intimidatingly enormous, and the man must have a mountain of documents to handle every day.

Perhaps something happened that made him forget what he had said, hoping that today would pass safely, because today was the third day.

”Avery, all of Grant’s photos are out today; you look absolutely stunning.”

Angela Scott walked over to Avery Jane with a cup of coffee, wondering why Avery seemed a bit unsettled in the past couple of days.

Especially since this morning, she’s been lost in thought, like now.

”Let me tell you, the people over at Grant’s even asked if they could shoot an additional theme piece because your photos are way more beautiful than Lisa’s. Guess what I said?”

Angela Scott grinned at Avery Jane, her eyes betraying a trace of smugness.

”What did you tell them?” Avery Jane gave Angela Scott a suspicious glance.

”I said our Avery Jane is neither Liby nor Tide; we don’t do things like extra work without extra pay. Guess what they said? On the original deal, they offered a new sum, Avery, if this continues, you’ll become quite wealthy.”

Her judgement was always right; she knew Avery Jane was meant for this industry. Her facial features, body lines, and unique aloofness paired with an innate elegance and nobility were well captured by the camera lens.

Once Grant’s advertising film is released, she believes that ad contracts will flood in like snowflakes, and then both she and Avery Jane could earn a fortune.

Avery Jane listened to her words, smiled faintly, but remained unsettled.

Since the morning, this unrest has persisted; maybe because today is the third day, the deadline given by that man, or perhaps for other reasons, even breathing feels a bit labored, as if a heavy stone was pressed against her chest, making her unbearably uncomfortable.

”Why are you staring at the phone, is it broken?” Angela Scott noticed Avery Jane’s gaze drifted occasionally to the phone lying on the table, and even speaking felt absent-minded.

”Nothing.” With a wandering gaze and uneasy tone, Avery Jane always felt that today the air was filled with danger.

Like being in a powder keg, and a tiny spark could explode, leaving her utterly destroyed.

”Nothing? I suppose it isn’t that simple, right?” A sharp, cutting voice echoed from behind them, making one feel quite uncomfortable.

”Lisa, what are you talking about, what isn’t simple?” Angela Scott turned to see Lisa standing behind them with a cup of water. Had she been standing there quietly for a while? Had she heard everything they just said?

”I mean the contract that was originally mine, how did part of it end up with her? Isn’t it obvious? Beckett Wright’s eyes almost popped out looking at her. If they don’t have some secret relationship, how did the contract change?” Lisa thought about this and got angry, so her tone was naturally unfriendly.

That Avery Jane, of all people, took away the greatest annual project ”Time Legend” from Grant, and now she’s even shooting a charity sale theme for Grant. What’s this about? Clearly, she was supposed to be Grant’s spokesperson.
