Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

Chapter 291 - 173 The most hated are deception and betrayal_2

But she had already managed to get a lot of money; she withdrew money from the jewelry store to give to Ella Johnson, already doing so with trepidation, so how could she possibly get more money at this point? Moreover, that jewelry store inexplicably went bankrupt; now she can’t cash out, and if she withdraws money directly, who knows how Atlas Hallow would perceive her? Is her family just a bottomless pit that can never be filled?

So he resented her, and also resented her family; in fact, she even started to dislike herself a little.

She had been living like this for more than a year; every year, she was alone, watching the quiet streets below and the children dressed in festive clothes. The contrast was particularly stark; how wonderful it would be to have a child, she thought, as she looked at the children playing far away downstairs in their lively red clothes, causing her eyes to fill with tears.

In the past, during holidays, Atlas Hallow would occasionally come to see her, but this year he hadn’t even called her once.

She tried a few times to call him, but felt it would upset him; after all, he held many misunderstandings about her, thinking she had talked to his father about money. How could he know her original helplessness?

And since he’s in a passionate spell with Charlotte Miller, calling him would surely be out of the question.

But could it really end like this? Her heart was filled with countless unwilling feelings, and when she heard the two rings of the doorbell, her heart pounded violently, as if it would jump out of her chest.

Hailey Hill always felt she was a forgotten person in this world; no one ever came looking for her here.

The doorbell would ring occasionally at first, then less and less, until it never rang again; she even felt that Atlas Hallow might never come again in this lifetime, but its sudden ring now struck her heart like an angelic sound, more beautiful than anything else in the world.

Hailey sat up excitedly, but then felt she must be frighteningly unkempt; she thought Atlas would never show up, so she hadn’t even bothered to put on makeup.

Standing up, she quickly returned to the bedroom, selecting a pink outer coat to wear and applying a light pink lipstick, which brightened her complexion so much that she rushed to open the bedroom door and step out, only to find that someone was already in the house.

"Assistant Parker, did you come with Atlas? Where is he?" How could it be Daniel Parker? Hailey looked around but didn’t see Atlas Hallow.

She was stunned; all the blood rushed to her heart as if it would burst.

Hailey had a vague feeling that something bad was about to happen, but could things get any worse when she was already at her lowest?

Daniel Parker looked at Hailey Hill, the pale and frail woman seemed a bit pitiable, and he couldn’t help cursing his boss in his heart. Having him do such a thing felt hard to handle, but thinking again, this seemingly pitiful woman must have done something that Atlas Hallow loathed, or else his boss wouldn’t have been so ruthless.

Because although Atlas Hallow appeared cold and stern, he generally spared those around him, unless they truly angered him.

Hailey politely asked, and Daniel glanced at Hailey, speaking indifferently: "Miss Hill, I’m here on behalf of President Hallow to reclaim this property, so please vacate immediately." His boss insisted nothing should be taken, so there was no need to move much; leaving just like that should suffice.

He said nothing should be taken, but at least let her wear the clothes she had on; on this point, he hoped his boss would be a bit kinder. Otherwise, it would seem like she should strip off the clothes she was wearing too.

Daniel’s voice was flat, without any fluctuations, appearing purely procedural, while Hailey looked at him as if not comprehending his words.

Sending him to reclaim the property here?

And requiring her to leave immediately, how could that be possible?

Though this house was under Atlas Hallow’s name, she had lived here for almost ten years, where could she go?
