Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game-Chapter 620 - 340 New Boss

This time, his "Time Legend" hadn’t even been released yet it had already caused a sensation.

All the girls widened their eyes, staring at the man before them—tasteful, young, handsome...

And most importantly, rich. So, each one posed with allure, hoping to catch an extra glance from this hotly sought-after genius in the jewelry world.

She sat there quietly, like a water lily, her translucent skin almost compelling one to reach out and touch.

She was like the most valuable raw gemstone, her beauty streaming in like sunlight through clouds, impossible for him to evade.

Never had he imagined someone could be so stunningly beautiful, naturally alluring with a captivating aura, yet her eyes were cold as if they repelled people from miles away, as mysterious as a riddle.

"Hello, I’m Jimmy, my Chinese name is Beckett Wright." Beckett, unable to control himself, walked over as if drawn by a magnet.

"Avery Jane." Watching his extended hand, Avery Jane replied lightly. After hesitating for a moment, she reached out her hand.

Her body temperature was a bit low, her hand slightly cool, soft and smooth to the touch, her skin refined to the point of having no visible pores.

Her most beautiful attire, and the most attractive to men, was indeed her flawless skin.

Looking at her up close, he couldn’t see a single blemish on her face. She wore no makeup, not even a hint of lipstick. Her small lips had a slight watery hue. As he gazed at her, Beckett’s mind flooded with inspiration—about her, about jewelry.

"Miss Jane will stay, the rest of you may leave." Without even glancing at the other girls, Jimmy’s arrogance, renowned for his young age and accomplishments, was hard to miss. It was normal for his eyes to be set up high, yet it seemed almost too dismissive to not even look at them as he asked them to leave.

The new manager, a bit clueless, led the others out, leaving only Avery Jane and Angela Scott behind.

"Avery Jane, can I call you that?" Jimmy, a bit flustered, looked at her. He didn’t need to be so nervous; she was there for an interview, and he held her fate in his hands. Yet he was nervous, his heart beating irregularly, each thump more intense.

"Whatever." Avery Jane looked at the man. Was keeping her there a sign that she was chosen?

Did it mean she had secured her first contract, that Wenyard Cooper’s lab was saved?

She had never intended to do this. Angela once jokingly said to her, "Avery, if you became a model, you would be spectacularly famous. You’re so beautiful, even as a woman myself, I’m tempted by you. But since you’re going to get married, otherwise you’d be the one with the most contracts and the highest commissions."

Thinking of money, she found Angela, reasoning that selling her looks was better than selling her body.

"Avery Jane, you perfectly fit our new jewelry line. I’d like to sign a one-year contract with you on behalf of the company. Do you have any personal requirements?" Jimmy’s voice was gentle, a smile gracing his handsome face.

Angela found it somewhat unbelievable, yet expected.

She always thought Avery Jane was perfect for this advertisement, or she wouldn’t have randomly arranged her interview. After all, Grant Jewelry was a big company, unlikely to have too much shady business, sparing a lot of unnecessary socializing.

But it was incredibly fast, for him to make a decision after just looking at Avery Jane once.

This was the quickest case she’d ever handled in her years as an agent.

"You discuss it with my agent." Avery Jane honestly didn’t know what to discuss with him. She just wished for the year to fly by, for the new medicine’s trial to succeed, so she could be free.

In Hughes Clan Tower, the beautiful female secretary earnestly reported on work.

"Miss Jane signed with M.C Agency and took on her first event yesterday, for Grant Jewelry. The contract period is one year." Women working beside this man must be versatile.

Working more overtime than men, more meticulous than women, and needing to have technical skills proficient enough to relieve his work boredom and bring a bit of relief and adjustment, otherwise, the ultra-high salary could hardly be justified.

Investigating a minor character was a small matter for her, especially with the resources of the Hughes Clan backing her up, everything was convenient.

Under Joshua Hughes’s flag, no one could give her trouble.

Thus, the beautiful secretary, Victoria Diaz, could always accomplish tasks assigned by him at the fastest speed, and never acted recklessly, nor greedily sought more.

This was also why she had been by Joshua Hughes’s side the longest.

"Acquire it." A short and forceful command, coupled with an irresistible tone. Hidden in Victoria Diaz’s eyes was deep admiration; for this favored son of the heavens, she had let go of everything, but ultimately, she had to repeatedly watch him with other women.

This time, this woman named Avery Jane seemed a bit different.

"President Hughes, do you mean M.C or Grant?" Victoria Diaz knowingly asked.

What Joshua Hughes surely wanted to acquire must be related to Avery Jane, while Avery Jane’s contract was with M.C. But she just couldn’t help but confirm one last time if that woman named Avery Jane indeed held such great attraction for Joshua Hughes.

If acquiring Grant had some commercial reason, acquiring M.C would be entirely for Avery Jane. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Joshua Hughes’s gaze was like the sharpest blade, even the deepest thoughts would be sliced open, revealing them completely under his sight without any coverage.

Victoria Diaz lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze: "Sorry, President Hughes, I’ll head out to attend to it."

Some men really shouldn’t be tested or touched. All she could do was wait silently, waiting for an opportunity.

The hottest topic at M.C Agency these past two days was about the new boss’s arrival. From the inside out, everyone was speculating about which big shot it was, with such a grand background and capabilities.

Three days, just three days were needed to bring the largest company, with the most renowned artists, under its wing.

Understandably, under normal circumstances, such an acquisition process, from negotiation of intent, to the formal finalization of the acquisition plan, to the formation of all legal procedures, three months would already be quite fast. But three days, in just three days, M.C had already experienced a dramatic change.

"Everyone, stand properly, look sharp... The boss is about to arrive." A few supervisors were directing everyone to welcome the new boss in the first-floor lobby.

"I heard it’s a big deal, with quite a show." A few new assistants whispered as all sorts of reliable or unreliable rumors circulated, making everyone especially tense early in the morning.

The supervisors were running back and forth arranging things, beads of sweat trickling from their foreheads, indicating that this new boss was indeed remarkable.

As the external car slowly halted, everyone immediately fell silent, their eyes fixated with nervousness on the understated yet luxurious car, guessing what kind of person would get out.

The supervisors continued organizing with beads of nervous sweat on their foreheads; obviously, this new boss was no ordinary person.

As the outside car slowed to a stop, all present lapsed into silence.

Standing at the very back of the crowd, Avery Jane lowered her head, quietly looking at her own hand, seemingly much recovered, mostly returning to its original state, with just a faint trace of pink remaining.

On that day, Beckett Wright had insisted she use a special remedy since no blemish could be present for the shoot. The medicine was indeed effective; however, what concerned her more wasn’t her hand, but whether it would affect her ability to earn money.

All the female artists secretly checked their appearances, the car outside was already enough to demonstrate this new boss’s financial prowess.

Even among those accustomed to wealth, it was the first time they’d seen such a vehicle model.

Understated yet ultimately luxurious, it must be extremely valuable.

As the car door opened, a tall, upright figure appeared before everyone.

Avery Jane lowered her head; although she had little interest in the change of bosses, she could still catch the suppressed exclamations of female artists, accompanied by breaths of excitement—who was this person that influenced the women to such a state of fervor?

Avery Jane nonchalantly watched her hand, her thoughts elsewhere; these people, these things were of no concern to her.

"Oh my gosh, it’s Joshua Hughes..."

"So handsome, even more than the rumors said..."

With the new boss’s appearance, all the women had a burst of joy, like fireworks exploding in their hearts.

Except for Avery Jane, whose eyes showed a hint of confusion upon hearing Joshua Hughes’s name, as if she couldn’t believe what she heard.
