Chapter 50: 048 Charlotte Miller, she actually dared to play him?

"Charlotte, are you sure you know what you’re doing?" Atlas Hallow stood in front of the massive floor-to-ceiling glass window, the height of dozens of floors turning the men and women entering the Hallow Clan into tiny black dots, like ants crawling around.

The lives of these ants were in his hands, and only Charlotte, this brazen woman, dared to ignore the danger.

"Of course I know, I’ll take a taxi back myself once I’m done. You don’t need to worry, just focus on your work." Charlotte said with a half-smile, as if she could already picture Atlas Hallow furiously wanting to come down and drag her away.

She’s already backed down enough, joking around for the sake of some verbal satisfaction. Did he really believe she’d dare to meet Ethan Baird? He overestimated her.

Before she can escape smoothly, Charlotte wouldn’t be foolish enough to challenge him. She wouldn’t fight a battle she didn’t have the confidence to win, especially when her opponent is such a man.

Letting her go see Ethan Baird alone, and then she casually tells him not to worry about her but to work hard?

"Get upstairs, right now." Atlas Hallow nearly crushed his phone, uttering each word as if it were icy shards dripping from his mouth, stabbing into her ears painfully through the airwaves.

As she exited the building, the bleak autumn wind swept past, the sky was almost dark before six o’clock. With city lights just beginning to glow, she held her phone wanting to breathe out lightly, watching as it disappeared into the air, everything around her becoming hazy.

That’s about enough, she couldn’t continue playing, or the game would turn into a firestorm. If Atlas Hallow truly got angry, who knew what trouble he’d cause for her?

"Right now might not work, I’ve already told my mom I’m going home for dinner, and I’ve arranged to discuss Luna’s financing matter. Is your issue urgent, needing to be done now? I’ve finished the tasks Assistant Parker scheduled for me today, did I miss anything?" Charlotte held in her laughter, but her cheerful voice still betrayed her mood.

The man on the other end of the phone didn’t get a chance to speak, as Charlotte didn’t give him the time: "The taxi has arrived, I’m getting in. If there’s anything we can discuss it tonight when I’m back."

Having said this last line, she hurriedly hung up, as if not doing it might let Atlas Hallow pop out from her phone.

Playing with him?

Charlotte actually dared to toy with him?

This woman repeatedly surprised him.

Atlas Hallow slowly put down the phone, watching the flow of traffic, with one car carrying her away, even if she wasn’t going to see Ethan Baird, he remained displeased. His thin lips tightened into a sharp line, seemingly able to cut.

Having married into the Hallow Family, the Miller Family was just her past; he was her present.

————————————————Dividing Line————————————————

The Miller Family was in high spirits. When Charlotte returned home, Charles Miller had already lit the charcoal stove, a rare occasion for everyone to gather and enjoy mutton hotpot.

The long table was filled with delicious food, including Charlotte’s favorite frozen tofu, making the whole house warm and cozy.

"Where’s Luna?" Charlotte had already called Luna, telling her to come home no matter what; she needed to have a talk.

"She’s upstairs bathing; she’ll be down in a moment." Freya Morgon pulled Charlotte’s hand to sit at the table, looking at her face and asked softly: "Does he, I’m talking about Atlas Hallow—does he have any... quirks?"

Barely making out her words, Charlotte saw her mother’s worried expression and laughed, "What do you mean by quirks, Mom? What are you worried about?"

"Mom means, would Atlas Hallow turn into a weird person at night because he’s not... able? Like in the news." Freya Morgon hadn’t finished speaking when Luna Miller, already dressed in her pajamas, descended the stairs, her favorite perfume instantly wafting through the air.

"Sis, why do you think he’s not capable? Because he has no reaction to you?" Charlotte felt it was time to clear this up, or else Luna’s loose tongue might lead to trouble someday.
