Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game-Chapter 412 - 224 You must listen to my explanation

The experiences caused by time are a unique process.

If you go back three years, Ava Walker would definitely not have told Atlas Hallow these things.

Because she didn’t understand what it felt like to be locked up in prison, she didn’t know how the day-to-day torment would wear away all her initial pride.

She didn’t even know there was a lifestyle like this in the world, if she could go back to the past, she would definitely not choose to do so, because she never held a place in Atlas Hallow’s heart, no matter what she did, it wouldn’t change.

Not only did she ruin herself, but she also ruined her mother, at her age having to accompany her in prison.

Things can’t always stay submerged under the surface forever, there’s always a moment of truth, she hopes that after telling all these things to Atlas, she could win back a bit of his mercy.

She thought that even if she had to go to prison, being locked up with her mother, at least her mother would have something to look forward to.

In this life, she feels like she doesn’t owe anyone, not Charlotte Miller, not Hailey Hill.

Charlotte seemed to fall from the sky into the Hallow Family, snatching away everything that originally belonged to her, while Hailey was even crazier, daring to ask her for so much money, which she couldn’t come up with, so she had to go to Kinsley Lee.

No matter how much Kinsley Lee gave to Hailey Hill, it wouldn’t matter, because Hailey’s mother was a gambling addict, she would always use the recording pen as blackmail against them for the rest of their lives.

In the end, they would become nothing but ATMs for Hailey Hill, it would be better to just kill her once and for all.

Whether she was possessed at that time or not, or perhaps it was Atlas Hallow’s extreme pampering of Charlotte Miller that made her so furious.

She thought that since murder was already on the table, it might as well be done cleanly, after all, such a big case would eventually be investigated by the police, so she tied Charlotte Miller to that old house, put a knife in her hand, and thus had a suspect, and she would no longer have to watch the blinding scenes of Atlas and Charlotte together.

One wrong step leads to another...

What she didn’t expect was that Atlas Hallow would think of her first thing, that night when he dragged her to the old warehouse, the things he did to her with his teeth left an unforgettable scar in her memory, that pain was seemingly etched in her memory, unforgettable for a lifetime.

"Actually, back then, Hailey Hill didn’t have jewelry to sell to Kinsley Lee as an excuse for money, but she knew something that made Kinsley have to give her money." Even though she had resolved to speak it out, Ava felt terrified every second as she slowly began to recount.

The space carried an overwhelming suffocating tension, Atlas’s face was dark and silent, his thick lashes lowered, even without seeing his expression, Ava could guess that those deep-set eyes were filled with a terrifying coldness that made one feel intimidated.

"This thing can’t just blame us, because we didn’t make anything up, we just did a little bit of manipulation." Ava rubbed her hands somewhat helplessly.

It wasn’t that they conjured things out of thin air, it was just that even knowing Atlas didn’t want Charlotte to know, they still added fuel to the fire.

Previously, Ava hadn’t quite understood whom Atlas Hallow actually liked, she originally thought that Hailey Hill was Atlas’s first woman, surely the one he always liked, while Charlotte was merely a tool for childbearing.

But in the days spent in prison, Ava gradually calmed down and discovered that Atlas had always liked Charlotte.

She wasn’t clear about his feelings for Hailey Hill, but a man like Atlas couldn’t possibly drive a woman out even if she had done the worst things, if he liked her.

As for Charlotte, he seemed to have embedded her into his eyes and heart, unable to remove her any longer.

"Continue..." Atlas’s lashes remained low, his voice cold and even, but Ava knew that at this moment he was the most dangerous.

"Hailey Hill once recorded your conversations, the things you said to her." Ava swallowed, her throat suddenly feeling unbearably dry.

Before Atlas, there was a glass of water, but he didn’t drink it, because Atlas was habitual about drinking water, whether at the company or at the Hallow Family, his water was specially prepared.

Even if Atlas didn’t drink it, she didn’t dare to reach out and take it to soothe her throat.

Seeing her hesitating in her speech, Atlas lifted his gaze to look at her.

The look which nearly scared Ava out of her wits, it felt like being stared at by a ghostly abyss, frightening her into a trembling state.

"There is a segment in the recording where you agree to let Charlotte have a child for you and Hailey, then hand the child over to Hailey." Ava didn’t dare to hide anything further, she didn’t understand why after all affairs, Atlas suddenly investigated this matter, but not saying anything was absolutely not an option.

Because Atlas came to ask her first, it was not all bad, if Kinsley Lee asked first, the situation would have been completely different. She would have ended up in a worse predicament.

Ava’s words turned out like a bomb, exploding him into a shredded mess, his soul torn from his body, becoming scattered pieces.

How could such a thing happen?

Hailey actually recorded their conversations, making it almost impossible for Atlas to accept.

But thinking about it, it wasn’t surprising, she was able to sell herself at a young age, and then undergo surgery to deceive him, eventually conveniently staying by his side.

It was his carelessness, his overconfidence, believing no one dared to challenge his wrath, dared to go against him.

"When did this happen?" Bearing with the boiling blood in his chest, his hoarse voice was filled with untold repression, he leaned against the door to resist the urge to kill, his hands clenching so tightly the veins bulged prominently, the knuckles turned white making it a terrifying sight.

"It was those days after I jumped off the building, Kinsley had followed me to the hospital, I had placed that recording pen in the safe, she took it, it was likely at that time she gave it to Charlotte." Continuing to hide was meaningless, so Ava even disclosed the time with clarity.

"Hailey demanded eight hundred million, Kinsley couldn’t come up with the money, so the only option was to commit murder, that was her motive for killing, she feared you would find out she had given the recording pen to Charlotte, feared you would retaliate against her, so she might as well kill Hailey, and frame Charlotte instead." After saying that, Ava suddenly felt a weight lifted off her shoulders.

Some things couldn’t be taken to the grave, if one day Charlotte wished to speak, she too would reveal everything.

"Charlotte never told you about this?" Ava asked quietly, assuming that Charlotte would have a big confrontation with Atlas, possibly even confront Hailey, but shockingly, Charlotte did nothing.

This deviated a bit from her expectations.

How could Charlotte possibly tell him about this?

As proud as she was, how could she tell him about this?

Atlas’s bloodshot eyes emitted murderous intent, he asked harshly, "Where is that recording pen?"

"I don’t know, it should be with Charlotte." Ava shook her head, then looked at Atlas earnestly and said, "Back then it was my mistake too, and I have received the retribution I deserved, so I beg you to let my mom come here, this matter can’t entirely blame us, if not for you agreeing with Hailey, we wouldn’t have been able to fabricate those recordings." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

If not for him agreeing with Hailey Hill...

Thinking of this, Atlas’s eyes turned red as blood, his face pale, his sexy thin lips now devoid of any blood color, staggering when he stood up, seemingly unsteady.

Never had he felt this way before, as if even breathing was painful enough to make one tremble.

Atlas struggled to lift his head, deeply inhaling, but his mind was filled with images of Charlotte from the past.

She hugging him, speaking earnestly about wanting to be with him, her words gentle like water, saying that she liked him.

Even when she wasn’t yet keen on having children, when he wanted it and Charlotte finally relented, appearing a bit aggrieved yet also expectant.

But what was it when she heard that recording?

Hearing herself described as nothing more than a tool to bear Hailey’s child?

So that would be why she fell off the stairs, right?

His child turned into a pool of blood just like that.

No wonder Charlotte’s personality had changed, he kept wondering why she had changed back then.

But that foolish girl, why didn’t she ask him, if she had just asked him, he would explain everything clearly.

He wouldn’t let her bear Hailey’s child, wouldn’t let his own child have even the slightest connection with Hailey Hill, but she was such a proud and cautious girl, how could she have asked him that?

The swell of memories was about to drown him, Atlas felt that overwhelming suffocation was terrifying.

She had barely miscarried, and he left her in the mountains, alone without food or drink for two or three days, then subjected her to that horrible violation again, causing her to miscarry once more, was that why she gave up hope and married someone else?

Charlotte, listen to me explain, you have to listen to my explanation.

The black car sped out like a bolt of lightning, kicking up dust, vanishing down the road on the outskirts of town...
