Having loved Atlas Hallow for so many years, she thought she was the only one who could get close to him, but surprisingly, she wasn’t.
Hailey Hill used to be Atlas Hallow’s woman, and now Charlotte Miller is his woman. She was nothing, and this blow always left Ava Walker unable to recover. Why did he choose two won but not her? What was she lacking?
Hailey hung up the phone, sat on the settee, and even though the room was fully heated, she still felt a bit chilly. Her body had long been ruined by too many dications and early life experiences. Maybe even if she didn’t have her uterus and ovaries removed, she would still age quickly?
Now, what she needs to do is not to let Charlotte discover her existence, but to make Charlotte pregnant imdiately. The surgery must be done right away; it’s not too late to let her know after the child is born ten months later.
By then, taking away the child that had stayed in Charlotte’s womb for ten months, would Charlotte go crazy?
She wouldn’t need to kill her; Charlotte should feel the pain of cutting open her own wrist veins.
Imagining that day in her mind, the corners of her mouth twisted into a smile, a smile as eerie as a stiff corpse.
Charlotte had no feeling about any of this, she knew about Hailey Hill’s existence, but she would never know that such a huge conspiracy was waiting for her.
Walking out of Atlas Hallow’s office, she felt like a deflated balloon.
Now, she was a bit relieved that it was Luna who had the accident, and she could attribute all the things she needed to do to Luna. Of course, Luna was one of the reasons, but more importantly, she had already noticed so unusual behavior from Atlas Hallow, and she had to be cautious.
Guarding against the man she cared for, who shared the most intimate relationship and lived together, only she knew how painful that feeling was.
Never had she been so anxious before, she wanted more than once to stop considering these things, but again and again, she recalled what the nurse said in the elevator, and what she saw in the parking lot, his car.
If there really was betrayal, she would not tolerate it.
What needs to be done now is to ensure that all the Miller Family mbers leave smoothly, so Atlas Hallow would have no leverage to manipulate her actions anymore.
If that’s the case, they would stand on equal ground, which would be fair enough.
Calculating the day Luna would be discharged and the necessary procedures, it should also be a month later. She hopes nothing goes wrong this month, just let her and him calmly get through it.
Charlotte always has a vague sense of unease, but she doesn’t know what she’s uneasy about. Pouring a cup of hot tea and taking a sip, the overly hot tea burns her heart with an acute pain as it passes through her esophagus. Putting down the cup, she looked at the smoggy sky outside, her mood grayer than the thick haze.
This month, she wants to live well, to live well with him.
She is preparing for the worst but wants to live the sweetest life.
After work, she ran to Atlas Hallow’s office, opened the door and slipped in: "Are you working overti?"
Atlas Hallow looked at Charlotte in a red turtleneck sweater paired with dark blue skinny pants, her whole being exuded a youthful vibe, so dazzling it seed to brighten up the entire gray sky.
He stood up, walked to Charlotte, lightly touched her lips, and then asked in a low voice, "Anything up?"
"Nothing, just if you’re not working overti, let’s go have grilled ribs together. I know a really good place. I’ve been craving it since I got back." Charlotte smoothed her flat little belly; she was starving silly, having been busy with the project’s fund budgeting and also dealing with Luna’s matters. Now, she didn’t want to think about anything else; she just wanted to eat ribs.
"Sure..." The man’s deep-set eyes ford a smile, he gently patted Charlotte’s hair, and then, wrapping his arm around her waist, walked out the door.
"Mr. Hallow, tonight?" Daniel Parker was about to co in, there was a video conference tonight, and also a few docunts that needed rushing. But upon seeing Atlas Hallow’s warning gaze, Daniel imdiately shut his mouth.
Alright, if the boss isn’t working overti, he’d enjoy the leisure too. After all, the Hallow Clan belonged to Atlas Hallow. If he dared to slip away openly, it would indeed be a sha not to understand and also get off work early.
"Daniel, could you help sort out those docunts for ?" Just as he was feeling overjoyed, Atlas Hallow’s low voice ca through. Daniel looked at his boss’s tall and excellent figure, could only sigh and return to the office. Being squeezed for ti and energy was a common occurrence, but in the past, they worked overti together. Now it evolved to the boss going out with the boss’s wife, and he was left to work alone on the top floor.
