Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

Nora Thompson looked into his eyes, which she once considered as dazzling as the purest black diamond, but now seemed covered in a layer of dust.

Damn Floyd Thomson.

But what surprised him the most was his young wife; he thought Nora Thompson would never bring up such an issue in her lifetime, yet she laid it all out plainly, with no hint of embarrassment or discomfort.

”So, I’m leaving you. Alexander King, you don’t like me, but you can’t deceive me.”

She gently pulled her hand away from his: ”No matter what, I don’t want this to end unpleasantly. I will move out myself. After a certain period of separation, we can dissolve this relationship.”

She downed the red wine in her glass, stood up, and returned to her room without giving him a chance to speak.

Alexander King sat on the sofa, his head throbbing with pain.

No one can pay for his tainted past.

He liked the penthouse; only by standing at the highest point could he remain unmatched. He worked hard for it, and when he finally could look down from the peak, he suddenly realized that the person he truly liked was the one curled up on the lamp-lit sofa in the room.

Henry Brown noticed that the boss was increasingly distracted during work, with minor absent-minded spells every three days and major ones every five.

The face strikingly beautiful to the point of enchantment looked increasingly pale: ”Boss, boss?”

He softly called twice, and Alexander snapped back to reality: ”What were you saying?”

”I wasn’t saying anything just now. I’ve been staring at you zoning out for more than ten minutes. Boss, you’re never like this. Are you having problems with Nora Thompson?”

In work, ever since Alexander took over the King Clan, no case had ever been as troublesome as this. It could only come from home.

”Nora found out about Jade Willow, she moved out.”

He still found it hard to accept this fact, but it truly happened.

That pure, elegant, well-versed young wife clearly explained to him about Floyd Thomson’s sexual behavior and then, at dawn, with a black suitcase, said goodbye to him.

The young wife was a talented woman, so even her farewell was so graceful: ”The twilight sky, to me, looks like a window, a light, and a wait behind that light. Alexander, I will no longer wait.”

When she turned to leave, he realized his world was so desolate.

”I told you long ago, Nora Thompson is different from typical wealthy daughters. She is quiet, modest, and cultured. You never should have continued your relationship with Jade Willow after marriage.” Henry could imagine Nora’s helplessness and heartbreak when she left home.

”Henry, I want some quiet time.”

He couldn’t focus on anything; his mind was tangled like it was filled with knots and he couldn’t find the thread.

Alexander leaned against the chair back; he didn’t want to think about her. Yet her name, her shadow, involuntarily kept leaping in his mind, like the deepest poison.

Nora Thompson, you are that deepest poison, cloaked in white, gradually and subtly invading me from beside, until I became hopelessly reliant on you, and then you left without any attachment. What should I do?

”Boss, you don’t need to think about it. You don’t understand Nora. Once she makes a decision, she won’t change it.”

Henry wasn’t sure about his own feelings at this moment. Was he sad for the boss?

Or happy for Nora’s decision to divorce after discovering such a thing?

The issue is, if she sees him as the same type of person as his boss, wouldn’t that be too tragic for him?

”Joshua, I need you to do something for me.”

Alexander rarely asked for help, but right now his wife had already left, seemingly determined to ignore him. So, he had to do something to catch her attention.

The person on the other end of the line, in a great mood, sat behind the desk with long legs crossed: ”Alex, I don’t want to do this. It’s embarrassing.”

In a business war, pulling some tricks to make Alexander’s wife suffer a bit. Did this matter really need him to take action?

It’s simply ridiculous...

What kind of hero saves the beauty like this?

Not ridiculous, just childish.
