Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

The brother’s wife must be even better to ride, as the elder brother gives such humiliation, he definitely wants to pay it back double.

He doesn’t believe his elder brother’s talk about burying the Hughes Clan with him. The person with the most Hughes Clan shares is him. Does he want to ruin himself and play himself to death? Besides, he thinks he can just destroy such a big enterprise as he pleases, does he really think he’s a god?

Long, slender fingers glide over the photo of the smiling woman, a sinister smile curling at the corners of his mouth. A woman who can make Joshua Hughes settle down must have a taste that’s irresistible. Just thinking about it makes his blood boil with excitement: ”Avery Jane, one day you will be mine.”

Should he thank Joshua Hughes for sending over a woman to give him an heir, while also placing a beauty before him, ready for him to enjoy when the time is right? This time he will let this always confident elder brother taste the flavor of failure. Though both women are ones he has played before, what difference does it make, as long as Joshua Hughes possesses it, he must get it too, or else it’s not true fairness.

The second young master of the Hughes Family took the lead, quickly making everyone aware that he had fathered the next Hughes heir. On TV, Harper Johnson is being interviewed: ”Mrs. Yates, we hear Miss Yates fancied Mr. Joshua Hughes back then?” The host speaks sharply.

”Evelyn was young, she didn’t understand what she truly wanted, she just saw Mr. Hughes’s looks and thought she liked him. But actually, after getting to know someone, you realize what kind of man is best, most secure. Some men may look exceptional on the outside but are just a facade. If a man is rich but doesn’t care or respect his girlfriend, what good is that? As for Luis, although he is usually understated, he is responsible, honest, and very capable. I’m quite relieved to entrust my daughter to him. He’s far better than some playboy men.” Harper’s words are clear enough; even without naming names, an astute observer sees it’s about Joshua being irresponsible and unfaithful.

”It seems you implied something. We heard Mr. Joshua Hughes’s own good news is approaching, will the brothers hold a century wedding together?” The host presses further on such matters—how could such a major family allow interviews? Yet the opportunity is here, today’s news is explosive. Being a spontaneous broadcast makes it even more thrilling.

”We don’t care about that. I only care about our little baby and Evelyn’s well-being. Does Joshua’s decision to marry an indecent woman concern us? We only hope that woman won’t harm the Hughes Family, won’t harm Evelyn and the baby.” Harper says disdainfully, her mind filled with thoughts of wanting to cut Avery Jane’s face into pieces for revenge.

She has been locked up for a long time. If it weren’t for Luis, she might still be caught up in it. This son-in-law is not as good as Joshua, but now she can only rely on him.

”You mean Joshua Hughes’s woman is indecent and will endanger the Hughes Family?” The host asks excitedly—how explosive indeed, a scandal among the elites, and this is a super elite family.

”That’s what you said. I don’t know what she’s like now, but before she did kill her previous husband.” Harper adjusts her fur shawl with undisguised contempt in her voice.

”That’s quite surprising, you say Joshua Hughes is set to marry a woman who had been married?” This must be the biggest news of the year, the station manager would surely reward him well for this.

”He’s not married yet, how would I know if he’s marrying Avery...” Harper seems to realize what she’s saying, covering her lips with a smile: ”That’s their business, we’d better not say more. If I say too much, Joshua would be unhappy and put his brother and Evelyn in a pickle, which I truly can’t afford...”

The broadcast continues on TV, Joshua Hughes’s handsome face turns pale, his expression ominous, he strides toward the exit decisively.

”Who allowed this interview to be aired?” The voice on the phone comes across slowly, cold as ice. The person holding the phone is trembling, feeling the weight of a palpable menace spreading through the phone and permeating the air.
