Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

The winter morning was still a bit cold. Her hands were greasy, and her hair slightly disheveled as the fine sweat gathered on her forehead due to standing near the stove.

She gently wiped her forehead with the back of her hand, standing quietly and beautifully in front of the greasy stall.

Around her, young men held money in their hands, ready to buy something from her. Joshua Hughes carefully discerned; it was in US Dollar. Was she in Washington State?

”This was shot in Seattle.”

Angela Scott murmured quietly, perhaps due to unease in her heart or something else she couldn’t quite explain.

”As you wish, the transfer order will be issued after I bring her back. From now on, don’t come near her again.”

He didn’t want any dangerous elements approaching Avery Jane, as pure and simple as a pool of clear water, and shouldn’t be tainted by such insidious friends.

”Get ready now, I’m heading to Washington.” Joshua Hughes said while making a call and quickly taking the elevator down to the underground parking lot.

He should be able to see Avery Jane before dark.

---------------------------------Dividing Line-----------------------------------

Alexander King was spending time in Nora Thompson’s office. As the saying goes, ”The passionate girl fears the persistent boy,” with his relentless persistence, how could her heart not soften even a bit?

Moreover, watching her work would be quite nice, with her clean little face and refreshing air.

”Alexander, Adam Matt is coming over this afternoon. Go pick him up; I have to fly to Washington for some matters.”

Joshua Hughes was on the phone, instructing while driving towards the airport, where everything was already prepared. Glancing at the weather, it seemed nice; even providence seemed to want him to find Avery Jane quickly.

Seeing her again, even just in a video, stirred him tremendously.

That heartless woman had left him tormented in the days and nights without her, yet she remained as sweet and alluring, perhaps even more so than before, like the enticing tropical fruits behind her that made one want to gobble her up entirely.

Why was he so crazily obsessed with possessing her?

Joshua Hughes didn’t want to overthink; he just wanted to find her immediately, to hold her tightly, to inhale the mild fragrance from her to find peace.

”You’re the main player in this merger acquisition; I’m just holding a small share. You have to be at this afternoon’s meeting; what are you doing going to Washington now?”

Alexander King looked disdainful, as in the merger, he only held a minor share, while Joshua Hughes and Adam Matt were major stakeholders in the newly formed company.

Before he finished speaking, Joshua Hughes had already hung up the phone, a trait he always had.

Glaring at the phone bitterly, he originally intended to spend the entire day at Nora Thompson’s office but now seemed he needed to go prepare.

Nora Thompson slightly furrowed her eyebrows upon hearing Alexander King’s words, but it disappeared instantly.

She calculated the time it would take to fly to Washington; Joshua was using a private jet, which would be significantly less.

”Charlotte, where are you going?” Seeing Nora Thompson get up and stand, walking out, Alexander King quickly got up as well.

”What do you need? Let me help you.”

”To the restroom.” Nora Thompson said lightly and left.

Doesn’t the office have its own bathroom?

Is it because he’s here she’s embarrassed?

Alexander King scratched his head, anyway there was still some time. He could accompany her for lunch.

Walking to the restroom, she carefully checked, finding none was there, then she hurriedly made a phone call, beep beep beep.......

Why isn’t anyone answering? A fine cold sweat started to bead on Nora Thompson’s forehead; hurry up and pick up, Avery Jane......

Avery Jane was washing strawberries in Washington; most fruit shops washed the fruit cleanly, packaged them in bags, and sold them one by one.

Small, bright red strawberries, sweet and juicy, washed and bagged, completed with bamboo skewers.

The phone rang; she had changed her phone upon arriving in Washington. Only two people knew her number: Nora Thompson and Beckett Wright.

Unless something important came up, they wouldn’t call, to avoid revealing her whereabouts.

Even the phone number was agreed upon and notified specially.

Avery Jane wiped her hands clean and took the phone from her sweater pocket........

”Avery Jane, leave Washington immediately. I’ll have someone arrange your flight; go quickly.”
