Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game-Chapter 603 - 335 Wind Catcher_2

The makeup artist nervously applied makeup for her, and the atmosphere in the room was tightly wound, as if not a breath of wind could pass through, creating a suffocating sense of tension.

"If Joshua Hughes chooses you tonight, you must satisfy him. This is the only chance, Evelyn," Harper Johnson urged behind his daughter.

No one knew what Joshua Hughes’ temperament was like, because all the women who had been chosen by the Hughes Family never spoke of what happened during that year after leaving the Hughes Family. Joshua Hughes remained a mystery to outsiders.

"Don’t worry, Mom, he is definitely mine." Evelyn Yates’ beautiful eyes were filled with extreme confidence.

Too many men had fallen at her feet, making her exceedingly weary of them.

But tonight she was going to meet Joshua Hughes, the man every woman in the world dreamed of. She might never have had the chance to meet this man who could rival a nation, but since she had won this opportunity, she was determined to seize it.

A black suit, fitted tailoring, luxurious fabric, stitches meticulously detailed, with metal buttons that gleamed cold and carried the letter "H," a symbol of power and wealth.

All the women were seeing Joshua Hughes for the first time, and he was even more handsome than the legends told, as well as cooler than cool, his deeply defined features etched into the hearts of every woman who saw him.

The women stood in a straight line, wearing designer evening gowns, as if attending the most important banquet of their lives.

Evelyn Yates was number four; she disliked this number. Why was it four?

She feigned a gentle and demure appearance to mask her inner dissatisfaction and anxiety.

In the Yates Family environment, she had long learned to keep her true feelings hidden.

Her black and white eyes looked at the man who exuded kingly majesty not far off. He sat on the black velvet sofa, with an aura that was mysterious like mist in the night.

Indeed, only a noble family like the Hughes Family could nurture such an exceptional man.

Joshua Hughes coldly swept his gaze over the women below, the housekeeper following his eyes understood immediately what he meant.

He didn’t utter a single word but ascended the stairs.

"Miss Yates, please follow me upstairs. The other ladies may return home. As a token of appreciation for traveling to the Hughes Family from afar, Mr. Hughes has specially prepared a small gift for each of you." The housekeeper clapped his hands, and maids brought up trays bearing velvet boxes, which opened to reveal a brilliance that almost hurt their eyes.

Joshua Hughes was known for his generosity, and the so-called small gifts were naturally valuable.

The women accepted their gifts and cast envious glances at Evelyn Yates.

Perhaps she could become the lady of the Hughes Family, become the partner of this powerful man, and stand at the pinnacle of glory with him, receiving people’s adoration.

Evelyn Yates’ heart beat like a drum— from having no chance at all, to a one in twenty chance, and finally being chosen by that man. It was all heaven-sent.

From now on in the Yates Family, no one could belittle her and her mother anymore. No one would see her daughter as unnecessary, never again.

Because from today onward, she is Joshua Hughes’ woman; in this world, apart from Joshua Hughes, no one can look down on her, no one can disregard her.

And when this news spread, everyone in the Yates household was filled with joy.

Being chosen by Joshua Hughes was such a proud achievement. Even Arthur Yates, who usually didn’t spare a glance for his daughter, came downstairs to join her for a meal.

Evelyn Yates stayed at the Hughes’ castle, waking up on the first day to receive a specially customized card from the expressionless housekeeper, a black card with a clearly written "H" on it. Evelyn Yates smiled happily; such a card could probably even buy a plane without running out of funds.

But she wanted more; she desired his heart. If she won his heart, then the entire commercial empire of the Hughes Family would be in her grasp, wouldn’t it?

"Where’s Joshua?" Like all the women chosen, she initially thought she was the special one, and thus called him by his name.
