Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game-Chapter 405 - 222 How does he have the face to ask? (9,000 words)_4
But would she dare to do that? If she hadn’t betrayed him first, how could he have the heart to hurt her at all?
"President Hallow, please don’t make it difficult for me..." Annie’s lips were dry with tension, knowing Atlas Hallow’s temperament was no better than Joseph Shaw; they were cut from the same cloth.
Atlas Hallow didn’t say a word, his back seemed like a silent iceberg.
Annie began to worry for Charlotte; what was she going to do later?
Worrying was meaningless, the elevator in this building was top-notch, and reached the eighteenth floor in no time.
Atlas Hallow had been here before, so he was familiar with the office layout; Annie nervously followed him but felt helpless to stop anything.
Charlotte should be resting in her pajamas now; these pajamas were newly prepared for her before she returned.
She looked tired earlier; perhaps she was already wrapped in the blanket and fast asleep.
Annie followed, contemplating how best to resolve this situation.
Should she call the police to report Atlas Hallow for breaking into the office building, or wait for Charlotte to see him and send him away?
None of the options seemed viable; calling the police would truly tear things apart, and Charlotte clearly did not want to see him.
As anxious as ants on a hot pan, Annie watched Atlas Hallow push the door open, walk into Charlotte’s office and shut the door behind him, refusing to let her in?
Was he trying to reverse roles?
Annie picked up her phone and quickly dialed Ethan Baird’s number, praying in her heart for him to pick up quickly.
After two rings, the person on the other end answered.
"President Baird, there’s a bit of trouble. Today Atlas Hallow from the Hallow Clan came to see President Miller, but President Miller refused. When I relayed the message, Atlas Hallow took advantage and entered while I was swiping the elevator. I really didn’t expect this." Annie said dejectedly, never imagining Atlas would do such a thing. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
"What about now?" Ethan’s tone on the other end appeared calm.
"Now he’s inside President Miller’s office with the door locked." Annie said cautiously, staring at the now locked office door.
"If there are any calls for help from inside, break the door open, call the police, and throw him out." This sort of thing needed Ethan to instruct her; Annie was becoming more and more awed, probably scared silly by Atlas.
"Throw him out?" Annie paused for a moment, repeating Ethan’s words.
"Throw him out, tell President Miller to bring her men upstairs, and the moment there’s any commotion, throw him out." Ethan said before hanging up, then making another call.
"Rogers, your fiancée might run into a little trouble while back home, you’d better hurry to the U.S.A." Naturally, he wouldn’t do this himself. Charlotte was genuinely the apple of someone else’s eye now.
"Oh my gosh, really?" The man’s slightly imperfect voice came from the other end, sounding enamored with American idioms, with a slightly exaggerated tone.
"Of course, you better hurry." Atlas Hallow should meet someone like Rogers who can really give him a headache; that would be entertaining.
"But it’s not convenient to go right now, I’ve become the most beloved pediatrician in the hospital, if I don’t do well, I’d be dragged back to manage the bank, it’s too scary..." Rogers said, patting his chest as if to calm himself.
"If Charlotte is taken away by another man, you’ll be managing a bank for life." After saying this, Ethan hung up the phone.
He bet a dollar that Rogers would immediately rush to the U.S.A.
Ethan chose not to have someone break the door down because he knew that Charlotte and Atlas needed to settle things.
That man needed a lesson, he’d let Charlotte teach him thoroughly; Charlotte was no longer the girl troubled by countless worries from three years ago.
She wasn’t just backed by the Baird Family, but also had the Rogers Family as support, which was not to be underestimated.
Charlotte’s fiancé is peculiar too, he could enter the toughest Harvard Medical School, tackle the hardest medical challenges, yet has no interest in numbers.
Back then, he took great care of Charlotte, ensuring she safely gave birth to Mia.
