Seeing Liam and Shirley, two of the most striking figures, together in the same place was unusual.
Lately, Harmonfield’s elite circles had been buzzing with news of Liam’s fervent pursuit of Shirley, the eldest daughter of the Dunns
Yet, no one had witnessed them standing so close to each other until now.
Among the spectators, many were captivated and envious of this power couple from Harmonfield’s business scene, but there was also a lot of jealousy and bitterness.
It felt as though all the world’s beauty and charm were concentrated in these two individuals!
Liam seemed to embody all the qualities of a perfect heir.
Liam stood out with his Ph.D. in economics from abroad, his strikingly handsome looks, and his role as the general manager of the Universal Group, showcasing impressive business skills.
Shirley, on the other hand, needed no further introduction.
Her family’s strong presence in Harmonfield, her title as the most beatom in the city, and her achievements as a business talent from a prestigious global university set
As they spoke, Shirley spotted two other individuals.
She noticed her uncle, Oscar Dunn, and his wife, Carol Hudson.
Drake had two sons, his eldest son, Timothy Dunn, and his younger son, Oscar.
ruly extraordinary.
Five years ago, Drake retired, passing the reins of the family business to his firstborn, Timothy,
Under Timothy’s leadership, the Dunn Group reached even greater heights.
With Drake’s successor smoothly taking over, everything appeared to be going well.
However, three years ago, Timothy fell ill with a serious condition that kept him in bed.
Even though the Dunns sought help from numerous top doctors, none could provide a cure.
Given Timothy’s condition, the duty of running the Dunns should have naturally fallen to Oscar.
Drake, however, thought that his younger son, Oscar, didn’t have the qualities or skills needed to manage

Therefore, he had to return from retirement to help his granddaughter, Shirley, take charge of the family business
Oscar has been holding a grudge about this issue for several years.
Over these years, he and his wife have maintained a close relationship with the Hamiltons
They aimed to get the Hamiltons‘ support in taking over the Dunn Group
Once they found out that Liam was interested in marrying Shirley, they became very enthusiastic and did everything they could to make it happen.
“Shirley, you arrived early! I assumed you were still working at the office.
When Shirley showed up, Oscar sighed with relief and eagerly approached her.
“This event isn’t related to you. What are you doing here? Shirley gave Oscar and his wife a frosty look
“Shirley, we came at Mr. Liam’s invitation, Oscar explained.
He offered a flattering grin to Liam and continued, “Mr Liam likes you. You two are a perfect match, truly meant for each other
“That’s enough!” Shirley cut in sharply. “This is my matter. When did it become your place to meddle in
my affairs?”
“Shirley, let me explain – Oscar tried to continue.
“Oscar, please go inside for now. I need to have a word with Shirley,” Liam cut in politely, extending his hand and smiling warmly at Shirley.
His elegant demeanor and friendly smile made him seem like a charming p

The girls who had gathered in front of the banquet hall erupted in excited squ good–looking and so much of a gentleman! He’s the guy of my dreams!”
Lium is so
“Shirley, your uncle is correct. I genuinely admire you. Everyone in Harmonfield knows that I only have eyes for you. You are the only woman I want to walk down the aisle with.”
Liam gazed intently into Shirley’s eyes, his voice soft and full of warmth, touching the hearts of the young girls watching them..
“Shirley, if you agree to be by my side, I promise I will never leave you!”
To find one person to spend your life with, to choose one city to grow old in, to give your heart fully, and to hope for a lifetime together.”
Hearing these words, some of the already smitten women began to tear up, whispering, “Mr. Liam, that’s. so moving
Shirley’s face remained cold, her anger evident. “Mr. Lam, this is a business event, not a stage for you to display your acting skills.”

Lam, however, responded with a nonchalant smile. “Sirley, isn’t life just a performance? If it means playing the lead role in your story, I’d be happy to perform for eternity!”
As he spoke, applause and excited sobbing crupted in front of the banquet hall. A crowd of young men and women gathered around, enthusiastically shouting. “Accept him! Accept him!”
Shirley scowled.
Confronted with Liam’s smooth confession, she was at a loss for how to respond.
Feeling overwhelmed, she retreated to Robin’s side, grabbed his arm, and flashed a smile. “Mr. Liarn, let’s not play around. I’d like you to meet my boyfriend, Robin.”
Robin was momentarily surprised.
Noticing the look in Shirley’s eyes, he understood what was needed. He wrapped his arm around her, cast a cold glance around the room, and gave a small nod.
Robin shot a scornful glance at Liam.
“Who do you think you are, saying such vile things to my Shirley right in front of me? Do you think I’m invisible? Go amuse yourself somewhere else!”
Shirley, blushing, nestled into Robin’s strong shoulder.
It was at this moment that everyone truly acknowledged Robin’s presence,
Though surprised, it was clear that Robin and Shirley looked even more perfect together.
Among the crowd, several had come from the equestrian center and the Violeterest Bar.
They recognized Robin as the cocky guy who had wagered 45 million dollars at the equestrian center and had clashed with Eric and Rowan at the Violeterest Bar
So, he’s Ms. Dunn’s boyfriend?
No wonder he’s so full of himself?
Alice, arriving a bit later, observed the scene from afar, rolling her eyes with a cold remark, “Looks like Robin’s in for another rough time.”
Zachary shook his head and said, “Liam is nothing like Eric. In Harmonfield, only Daphne can rival his power.
“It’s clear that Shirley is merely dismissing Liam, which is why her bodyguard, Robin, is acting as her boyfriend.
“I’m sure Robin wouldn’t dare cross Mr. Liam
Right then, Liam finally spotted Robin standing next to Shirley.
As soon as he stepped into the lounge area outside the 28th–floor banquet hall, he didn’t given anyone c

He was so accustomed to being the center of attention that he was stunned to see a boyfriend with Shirley.
For someone who saw himself as Harmonfield’s top real shock to be overshadowed by Robin
it was in front of so many people.
Four years back, Liam came back from studying abroad and quickly became the top wealthy youth in Harmonfield.
With his impressive family background, talent, and looks, he seemed the ideal match for Shirley.
Yet here was Robin–mysterious and unknown–showing affection to Shirley right in front of Liam, causing him public humiliation!
Liam was not the only one furious about this situation.
The guests were also enraged by Robin’s presence!
Shirley’s uncle, Oscar, was the first to snap out of shock.
He quickly approached Robin and Shirley, fuming, “Shurley, what’s going on here? Mr. Liam made a sincere confession, and you responded by bringing your bodyguard to dismiss him. Your grandfather would be furious if he knew!”
“And you!” Oscar snapped, pointing at Robin. “Shirley is being unreasonable, and you’re just as outrageous. Aren’t you afraid the Dunns will ruin you for this!”
Before Shirley could speak, Robin scoffed and replied, “Who do you think you are? My actions are none of your concern. Get out of here!”
“You! You insolent bra’t! Just for that comment, the Dunns and the Hamiltons could have killed you on the spot! Oscar said, shaking with rage as he pointed at Robin.
“Mr. Liam, I apologize for this kid’s behavior. He’s just out of line! Please
Liam maintained a pleasant smile and responded warmly, “It’s fine, Shirle

“Shirley, come give me a kiss!” Robin shouted, ignoring Liam’s insincere comments and pointing to his
cheek.
The room went quiet right away. Liam stopped in his tracks, staring between Shirley and Robin.
Shirley was caught off guard by Robin’s request for a kiss in front of everyone.
Without a second thought, she placed her soft lips on Robin’s striking cheek.
At that instant, Liam’s once warm and amiable smile became icy and menacing.
The crowd was left in shock.
“This guy is incredibly arrogant!”
