Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game-Chapter 607 - 336 What will you use to persuade me?_2

The black dress wrapped around her gentle body, making it appear even more petite and charming. Avery Jane wondered if perhaps it wasn’t as she thought, but just her imagination.

Could one person truly influence a group of people? Especially a group of successful individuals in the business realm?

The company closest to the Hughes Clan Tower was the laboratory’s largest sponsor.

After being announced, Avery Jane took the elevator to the sponsor’s office.

"Uncle Wood, I’d like to know why you suddenly withdrew your sponsorship of the lab." If she needed to understand the matter, the simplest path would do.

This elderly man had watched Lucas Yates grow up and was very fond of him. If even he suddenly canceled the sponsorship, then the issue wasn’t simple.

If things were as she thought, the building wasn’t far from the towering Hughes Clan Tower, and if the mysterious man from that night was indeed the root of everything, then she could ask around. If she didn’t want to reveal her name and Joshua Hughes found it impolite, she could simply apologize.

"Little Avery, I’m very sorry, but I really had no choice." The old man’s face was filled with guilt. Spending some money to do good and giving young people like Lucas Yates a chance was fine, but who wanted to offend Joshua Hughes?

"Uncle Wood, I understand. Thank you for helping Wenyard Cooper for so long." Avery Jane stood up, gently bowing to the elderly man.

Seeing the wrinkles on the old man’s face filled with remorse and guilt, how could she blame Uncle Wood for this?

No one wanted their hard-earned foundation to be destroyed overnight. But was this man’s influence truly that significant?

The ninety-nine-story building stood like a giant blade piercing the heart of the city.

This was the most prime location in the city. Avery Jane looked up, taking a step inside, unsure of what outcome awaited her.

The man’s aura was terrifying to her, like an ancient beast from prehistoric times.

Wenyard, give me courage...

Even the receptionist in the Hughes Clan Tower was exceedingly beautiful, wearing a neat outfit, a small hat, and smiling as she asked, "Miss, may I help you?"

Avery Jane glanced at the lobby. It was almost unreasonably spacious. The simple design, fluid lines, and expensive materials all showcased the owner’s taste.

"I’m looking for Joshua Hughes." The moment she spoke, the receptionist was taken aback.

They couldn’t usually even catch a glimpse of Hughes Clan’s president.

She’d been here for nearly two years, hoping to see the legendary most eligible bachelor, but he’d always go straight to the top floor via the private elevator, unreachable for them. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Yet this woman, with her first sentence, made the receptionist feel a bit dizzy.

"Do you have an appointment?" she inquired, inwardly pondering, but her professional smile remained impeccable. This was the best company in terms of benefits, and she didn’t want to lose the job over any issue.

"No, but he’ll see me." Avery Jane looked at the row of elevators ahead, disliking this place. She preferred to quietly reminisce in a corner by herself, not caring for the hustle and bustle of such a place filled with the aroma of money and materialism.

Was she lying?

Without an appointment, how could someone see the president on a whim?

But if she wasn’t lying, then she must be a guest of importance to the president, someone not to be offended. The receptionist’s expression grew more intense.

On the top floor, the man in the executive chair watched the scene. From the moment Avery Jane stepped into Hughes, he was aware of her presence.

He simply wanted to see what she was really like.

Fortunately, she remembered his name, and she was a smart woman, arriving sooner than he’d anticipated.

"Go bring her up," Joshua Hughes said, his words always concise and powerful, instructing his secretary beside him to bring Avery Jane up.

The beautiful female secretary wore the shortest skirt, her low-cut top revealing a tantalizing view when she bent slightly. She twisted her slim waist, walking out with an alluring charm.
