“Since Robin still likes you, you could use the Dunny trist in him to our advantage. Have him help us get back those plots that belong to the Millers.
The Dunns aren’t hurting for money, and they probably don’t even care about this amount.
“Besides, Robin owes us. Remember how he flaunted that engagement contract and embarrassed the Millers in front of all of Harmonfield?
“If it weren’t for our family, would the Dunns have ever hired him as a bodyguard?
“And without our family’s connections, he wouldn’t last a single day in Harmonfield.”
Hannah and the others nodded in agreement, urging Alice, “Alice, he owes us so much! Having him do this little favor is the least he can do, right?” Someone like him should be glad we’re even asking. The fact that we’re turning to him shows we think. he’s worth something, another relative added. Hearing all this, a proud smile spread across Alice’s face.
She was certain that if she asked, Robin would comply-especially since it wouldn’t be his own money he’d the using but the Dunns
Besides, she thought, the Dunns wouldn’t even miss such a small amount.
After a moment, she nodded, keeping her pride in check. “Grandpa, I’ll think about it.”
Hank chuckled. “Good, Alice. I want to hand over the Millers to you in the future. At critical moments, you must consider the family’s interests.”
Alice confidently replied, “Grandpa, I believe that as soon as 1 ask. Robin will be eager to help me.”
“However,” she continued, “I don’t want to lose face in front of him. I’ll think it over and aim to make him beg me to return those Southvale plots.
“Grandpa, I’m feeling a bit tired. I want to rest for a while before dealing with this. I’ll get back to you after I sort it out.”
Though Alice had already decided to approach Robin about reclaiming the Southvale plots, she was still irritated by the earlier attitudes of Hannah and the others. She wanted to make them uncomfortable for a few days before addressing the situation
In the future, I will be the head of the Millers!
Do you all think you can pressure me to do things just because you’re my seniors? I won’t be swayed by you!

I will eventually become a queen like Daphne.
It’s said that Daphne is ruthless in her dealings, and I will be just like her!
When I finally sit in the chairperson’s seat of the Miller Group I won’t spare any of you!
If you dare speak to me like you did today, I’ll make your livesniserable!
As these thoughts crossed her mind, Alice couldn’t help but laugh, startling Hank so much that he nearly toppled off his chair.
Alice hurriedly supported him. ‘Grandpa, are you alright?”
Hank took a moment to catch his breath. “You startled me, child. Your sudden laughter took me by surprise.”
“I’m sorry, Grandpa. I was just thinking about how you built the Miller Group from scratch all those years ago, leading to today’s success. I got a bit too excited and laughed. “You’re amazing, Grandpa,” she added sincerely.
Hank smiled with satisfaction. “Alice, just do your best. I have high hopes for you.”
Not lingering any longer, Alice turned to leave the villas hall, with Hannah and the others quickly following her.
“Alice, wait a moment! I want to tell you that if you can help us get back the Southvale plots, we will definitely vote for you when it comes time to elect the new chairperson of the Miller Group Alice looked at her aunts, uncles, and cousins, cursing them in her mind a thousand times.
These opportunistic hypocrites!
But reality loomed large..
If she couldn’t reclaim the Southvale plots, she would truly have no chance at becoming the chairperson of the Miller Group.
Her aunts and uncles held the majority of the voting power in the board, and if they opposed her, even her grandfather’s support wouldn’t be enough for her to secure the position.
Since she aspired to be a queen like Daphne, she had to endure these opportunistic relatives for now. One day, she would step on them!
Feigning a look of difficulty, she replied, “Aunt Hannah, I can only try my best to negotiate with them. I can’t guarantee success, I was just worried about Grandpa’s reaction earlier.
Hannah finally managed a smile. “Alice, don’t worry. As long as you can recover all the plots in Southvale today, we will keep our promise and support your election as the chairperson of the Miller Group.” Alice didn’t want to engage further with them, so she turned and left the Millers’ villa.
As she walked away, Hannah and the others exchanged glances, pondering their next move. “Why don’t we just go directly to Robin and tell him Alice sent us?”

“I’m worried that Alice will negotiate to reclaim those low-priced lands and then raise the price on us, which would mean a huge loss.”
“I heard that Robin is working at the Eastvale Development Group under the Dunns. We should hurry over there.”
After they made their plans, they immediately drove toward the Eastvale Development Group.
Meanwhile, Alice had intended to go straight to find Robin but hesitated, feeling it might make her appear desperate. Instead, she decided to have Vera reach out to Robin.
She believed that once Robin learned of her intentions, he would come looking for her.
The thought of Robin’s surprised expression upon seeing her made her smile involuntarily
She picked up her phone and called Vera.
After a few rings, Vera finally answered, sounding groggy, “Alice, I was still asleep! Why are you calling me so early?”
“It’s almost noon, Vera! Wake up! I need your help with something important.”
Vera yawned. “What is it? Just tell me.”
“Vera, did you see the news this morning?”
Vera groaned in annoyance, “What garbage news? I dont care; I just want to sleep a bit longer.”
“It’s about the Southvale plots. Vera, stop sleeping and wake up! I need to talk to you about something important.”
With an irritated tone, Vera replied, “Ugh, don’t even mention the Southvale plots again! You and Robin have put me in such a bad position!
“I worked hard to save some money, and that j’rk Robin used it all to buy your family’s land!
“Alice, I’ve really helped you a lot; I’ve collected all the scrap from your family”
Alice gave a wry smile. “Vera, do you know what decision the city government announced today?”
“I’m not interested in what the city government announced; it has nothing to do with me!”
“Vera, Southvale plots will be a key investment area for the city government over the next 20 years. The market price of Southvale plots has already multiplied several times. That b*stard Robin and the Dunns have made a fortune” Only then did Vera sit up. pondering Alice’s words. The city government announced key investments in Southvale plots?
What does that have to do with me?!
“Alice, why did you look for me? All the paperwork isn’t in my hands. The little money I have was loaned

Chapter 131 Have You Been Secretly Liking Me?
to Robin, you know that.
And you even warned me back then never to get involed with Southvale plots! I was just lending him money?”
Alice fell silent for a moment. “I know about that. What mean is, you need to help me get back all the Southwale plots that Robin has.”
“What? I must have misheard! Alice, I remember you cursed that only beasts would go back on their word!
“Now you want me to do this? I’m not going! Isn’t that barrassing?”
Alice sighed and said, “Vera, are you cursing me? I have my reasons; my aunt and uncle forced me to do this. If I don’t…
Before Alice could finish her sentence, Vera interrupted her directly. “Don’t give me those excuses; I can’t
do this!
“When the Southvale plots was worthless, you begged to sell it to someone. Now that it’s valuable, you want it back! Do you think this is a game? “You took all the advantages, and you think Robin is an idiot? I’m not going along with this!
“Alice, I’m telling you, don’t do anything shameless like this!”
Alice replied angrily, “Vera, how do you know that Robin wouldn’t be willing? You know how much he likes me. Maybe he’ll be happier if I do this!
“Go to hell! What do you think Robin is? I’m not talking to you anymore; you’re driving me crazy!”
Unwilling to listen to Alice any longer, Vera hung up the phone.
This woman is truly despicable!
She had begged someone to sell the plots, and now that the Southvale plots had appreciated in value, she wanted to take it back at the original price. How shameless she is!
As Vera thought about this, her teeth itched with anger
She immediately turned on the TV, where news about the Southvale plots was being broadcast.
Vera also opened her phone, and the internet was buzzing with discussions about the Southvale plots.
The most talked-about topic was how the Dunn Group, with its keen insight, had invested billions in the Southvale plots, becoming the biggest winner in Harmonfield.
Capital investors from Harmonfield and the surrounding areas were currently gathering around the Dunn Group, hoping to get a piece of the action in Southvale, Looking at the current market price of the Southvale plots, Vera was shocked.
Recalling the Southvale project she held, its market value was now approaching ten billion.
At that moment, she suddenly remembered what Robin had told her before.

At the time, she thought Robin wanted her to liquidate her shares in Davidson Group to buy the Southvale plots from the Millers for Alice.
Now it seemed that wasn’t the case at all.
Robin might have known about the Southvale plots’ information long ago.
She remembered Robin saying that this was to help her fulfill her wish of reclaiming all the assets left by her mother years ago.
Thinking back, it really was like that.
With this money, she could realize her long-held wishes.
Robin was helping me, not trying to please Alice!
Otherwise, how could he buy the most profitable assets of the Millers under my name?
As Vera thought about this, she smiled.
You little rascal! Robin, have you secretly liked me for a long time?
Hahaha! How embarrassing!
It seems / underestimated you!
Just how much background and power do you have?
Every time you make a move, it surprises me!
You ever know secrets as high-level as those from the city government!
Oh, no!
Alice will definitely look for Robin again. I have to stop this woman!
With this thought in mind, Vera quickly tidied herself up and drove straight to the Eastvale Development Group.
Mitchell and Barney, along with others, arrived at the bunns’ mansion, only to be informed that Drake had gone to the Eastvale Development Group today.
They had no choice but to rush to Eastvale.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Eastvale Group’s all, they were stopped by security.
Originally, these security guards were under their command.
However, upon seeing them now, they were as cold as ice.
No matter how Mitchell and the others explained, the security guards refused to let them through.
Finally, Mitchell and the others were enraged and pointed at the guards, cursing. “Are you all blind?! I am Mitchell Kline!
“When I was in power, you all acted like dogs, and now you dare to block me outside? You b*stards, do you want to diec?”
One of the lead security guards smiled apologetically and said, “Mr. Kline, we’re truly sorry. It’s not us who are keeping you out; it’s what Mr. Dunn Sr. instructed. You’re not allowed in. “Mr. Kline, it’s best if you go back. Please don’t make things difficult for us, okay? We’re powerless in this
situation.
“Mr. Dunn Sr. has already said that anyone who lets you in will end up like you!”
“End up like us? What could we end up like? I have tens of billions in my hands; what do you have to fear….
Mitchell started, but suddenly stopped.
His intuition told him that Drake’s words clearly indicated that the Dunns would not spare any traitors.
His legs trembled, and after hesitating for a long time, he fell to his knees in front of the entrance of the Eastvale Development Group hall.
“We’re here to apologize to Mr. Dunn Sri
“Please help us pass a message to Mr. Dunn Sr. We’ve followed him for decades, and we hope he can let us off this time.”
The security guards ignored Mitchell and the others.
So, Mitchell, Barney, and the others had to remain kneeling in front of the hall of the Dunns Eastvale Development Group.
Passersby stopped in their tracks to watch this scene unfold.
A few shareholders exchanged glances at the mocking looks around them. “How embarrassing it is to kneel here there are still our former subordinates around… Mitchell snorted coldly. “Embarrassing? Better to be embarrassed than dead!”

When the security guards heard that Shirley was aware of the matter, they exchanged a few low whispers. “They immediately went to the weurity office and called Shirley’s secretary.
At that moment, Amber was in the secretary’s office handling matters related to the Southvale plots.
Upon receiving the call, she reported the information to Shirley. “Ms. Dunn, there are a few people at the entrance looking for Mr. Hamsey. They claim to be hisgelatives and say that Mr. Ramsey is her nephew-in-law Hearing that they were looking for Robin, Shirley raised her head. “Robin is her nephew-in-law?”
Amber stepped forward and answered, “Ms. Dunn, they are from the Millers”
Shirley paused for a moment. A meaningful smile appeared on her lips.
oticing that Shirley hadn’t spoken for a while, Amber tentatively asked, “Ms. Dunn, should we send them away?
Shirley shook her head and laughed. “Here’s what you do tell Mr. Ramsey that some relatives have come to find him, and he should go down and take a look quickly.”
Seeing the smile
the smile in Shirley’s eyes, Amber understood her intention. “Yes, Ms. Dunn. I’ll go inform Mr. Kamsey right away!
After leaving Shirley’s office, Amber covered her mouth and laughed.
After calming down for a while, Amber arrived at Robin’s office.

Chapter 152 Robin Is My Nephew-in-Law
At that moment, Robin was playing a game. She suppressed a laugh and said, “Mr. Ramsey, there are some relatives downstairs looking for you.”
Robin was taken aback for a moment. “Relatives? I don have any relatives in Harmonfield
Amber held back her laughter. “No, Mr. Ramsey. They insist that they are your relatives and are insisting on secing you.”
Robin thought for a long time. Could it be Grandpa’s relatives from Harmonfield?
That’s impossible; I’ve never heard Old Fred mention them.
Seeing Robin deep in thought, Amber almost laughed out loud. “Mr. Ramsey, should I tell them to leave, or do you want to meet them? They say they have something very important to discuss with you.” Robin pondered for a moment. “Okay, I’ll go down and take a look.”
As he walked, he muttered to himself, “Do I have relatives in Harmonfield?”
Amber accompanied Robin to the hall of the Eastvale Development Group and pointed to Harmmah and the others. “Mr. Ramsey, do you see them? They’re the ones claiming you’re their nephew-in-law,” When Robin looked up and saw it was Alice’s aunts and uncles, he exclaimed, “D”mn it! I’m not their nephew-in-law! Amber, are you doing this on purpose
Without waiting for a reply, he turned around and headed toward the elevator.
Amber covered her mouth and started to giggle.
Seeing Robin, Hannah and the others quickly rushed in front of him. “Robin, wait! We have something important to discuss with you.”
“What do you want from me?” Robin looked coldly at Hannah and the others.
“Who are you? Let me tell you, don’t spout nonsense anymore! I have nothing to do with your family!”
Hannah snorted coldly. “Robin, what are you being so arrogant about? Stop right there! Let me tell you, we came to find you to pay you some respect!”
“Get out of the way! Who do you think you are?” Robin pushed aside Hannah and the others, intending to walk straight into the elevator.
Then he suddenly remembered that these idiots must have come to him today for the Southvale plots
issue.
He stopped and smiled playfully. “What do you guys want from me?”
Seeing Robin’s tone suddenly soften a bit, Hannah hurriedly said, “Robin, I know you still like Alice. I know you’ve always wanted her approval…
“Oh, this whole family is crazy! Which eye of yours saw that I liked Alice?” Robin twitched the corner of his mouth and shook his head.
“Get to the point! I don’t

No wonder they looked so familiar; these ten people were the major shareholders need to for pulled their investments from the Dunns!
Robin wasn’t lying; among them, the one with the least wealth had around two or three billion
And now they had to kneel in front of the hall of the Dunns Eastvale Development Group!
Robin said indifferently. “Even they have to kneel
“Who do you think you are? You think you can just open your mouth and demand the Southole plen What a pipe dream! If you really want it, go kneel outside and wait for the notice Hannah gritted her teeth and said, “Robin, we’re different from them! We’re asking you to give back the Southvale plots we sold to you!”
“Give it back to you?” Robin laughed.
“Are you still asleep, old lady? If you’re not awake, go home and get some rest
Laughter erupted in the hall of the Eastvale Development Groupe
Now everyone wants the Southvale plots in the Dunns handi
These people have the nerve to say they want to reclaim the Southvale plots they sold?

Amber understood that Shirley was intentionally teasing Robin. Hannah was furious. “Robin, how could you say such nonsense!
Chapter 152 Robin Is My Nephew-in-Law
TW tell you, it was Alice who sent us here. Are you really going to turn us down?”
Robin no longer paid attention to them and turned to leave.
Hannah and the others panicked and rushed to grab Robin’s clothes,
Robin pushed her down to the ground with a slap. “Get lost!”
He glanced at Amber. “You’re pretty bored, aren’t you? Is everyone just idling around?”
At this moment, Amber finally couldn’t hold back and started laughing
Looking at Amber’s expression, Robin realized this was all Shirley’s doing!
He pointed at the surveillance camera.
Hannah and the others caught up with Robin. “You owe us money!”
Just then. Piper and Rosalie were passing by.

A disdainful smile appeared on Piper’s face. “Rosalie, did you see that? The scammer Robin’s true color is finally revealed; he owes money to a few old ladies!”
She walked up to Hannah. “Old lady, what’s going on here?”
Hannah scanned the area and realized Piper was addressing her. Infuriated, she replied, “I’m not even 40, yer! Don’t call me old lady! Get lost!”
“Sorry, ma’am… Piper hurriedly explained.
“Who are you calling ma’am?!” Hannah pushed Piper away.
Piper sighed and said, “Hey, I just want to tell you that he’s a scammer!”
“Who are you? You’re the scammer! Get lost!” Hannah angrily slapped Piper across the face.

“If it weren’t for us, would the Dunns believe you?
“Everyone in Harmonfield knows that when you came to our family with that marriage agreement, you were trying to scam Alice and cling to us!” “Now it seems you truly are a complete fraud?”
The commotion created by Hannah and her group in the hall of the Eastvale Development Group attracted many onlookers.
Robin didn’t initially want to bother with Hannah and the others.
However, seeing their shamelessness suddenly ignited a desire within him to deal with them.
“You want to get back the Southvale plots, right?
Alright, the deal: the paperwork for the plots you sold me is with someone else.”
I’ll make a call to have him come over, and you can negotiate with him. As long as he agrees, it doesn’t matter to me.
“You won’t have to pay a dime; you can take it directly
Hannah and the others immediately fell silent, then asked in surprise, “Robin, is what you said true?”
Robin nodded. “Of course it’s true.”
With that, he dialed Shawn’s number. “Come to the Eastvale Development Group; the Millers want to reclaim the Southvale plots. How to proceed is up to you!” Seeing that Robin was calling Shawn, Amber shook her head with a smile.
Hannah instantly beamed with joy. “Robin, I knew you still have feelings for Alice. Don’t worry; I will definitely speak well of you in front of her.
“We are her aunts and uncles, and we’ve watched her grow up. If we say a few good words, she might agree to accept you.”
“Who said I would accept him?” Alice walked in from outside the hall. “Aunt Hannah, what nonsense are you talking about? I will never accept a man like him!”
All eyes in the hall turned to Alice. “Oh, she is the eldest daughter of the Millers, Alice Miller.”
“It’s said that their grandfathers arranged a marriage before they were even born.”
“Now that Robin has come, the Millers are calling off the engagement.”
“Rumor has it that Robin is still entangled with Ms. Miller…”
Hearing the discussions around her, Alice couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction.
She raised her eyelids and glanced at Robin as if she were a queen holding the world in her hands.
Robin appeared before her like a humble servant, submissive and lowly

As long as she spoke, even if it meant exposing all of Robin’s flaws, he would unhesitatingly hand everything over to her.
“Robin, I came here today with no other intention. So don’t think too much of it. No matter what you do, 1 will never like you again!” “D’ng it! You’re hopelessly sick!”
Robin turned away
“Robin, stop right there! I know it sounds like I’m hurting your pride, but that’s just the way it is. I’m not as hypocritical as you!
“I hate you and disgusted by you, and I will say it directly
“Unlike you, I’m self-aware!
“I’ll reiterate: I’m here for no other reason than to get back the Southvale plots that I sold you!”
Robin turned to look at Alice’s proud face and chuckled. “You’re not only sick, but you’re also shameless Alice’s proud face instantly twisted into a grimace. “Robin, are you insulting me?” Robin snorted coldly. “I remember when you came to sell me the Southvale plots, you said that if you regretted it, you’re a beast!”
“Robin, you…!” Alice was taken aback, pointing at him “When did I ever say such a thing?
“Robin, you really are a scoundrel!
“I despise men like you!”
Robin said nothing and directly opened the voice recording on his phone.
It played back the entire conversation when Alice approached Robin to sell the Southvale plots.
“Alice, the price of the Southvale plots is about to rise. Are you sure you won’t regret selling it to me now?”
Alice snorted. “Robin, do you think I’m someone who’s never seen money? Since I am selling the Southvale plots, no matter how much I sell it for, I won’t regret it!”
Robin said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “If, in a few days, the value of the Southvale plots suddenly i
rises to 1.5 billion, 2 billion, or even higher, you won’t regret it?
Alice replied angrily, “Isn’t it just this little money? Look at you, acting like you’ve never seen the world Hi Tegret I’m a beast! Is that good enough for you?!”
Robin shrugged, “Alright, I believe you. Zachary, what about you?”
Zachary chimed in, “Of course! Once something is sold, no matter the price, you absolutely cannot regret it. That’s the bare minimum rule. Just like Alice said, if I regret it. I’m a beast!”

The hall was filled with murmurs of surprise,

Alice gritted her teeth in anger. “Robin, you’re truly despicable! This is fake; I never said anything like that
At that moment, Vera walked over from behind. “Alice, isn’t this a bit too disgusting?”
She stepped in front of Alice and added, “You begged Robin to buy the Southvale plots and even swore that you would never regret it! How can you act like this now?”
Alice was stunned for a moment, then snapped, “Vera, are you helping me or him? We’re best friends!
“You know Robin bought our family’s Southvale plots to get my attention and intentionally flatter me!”
At this point, Alice didn’t want to explain anything further to Vera and turned directly to Robin. “Alright!/Robin, isn’t it just that you want me to say that I accept you? That’s impossible!
“If you really like me, then hurry up and return the Southvale plots to my family!”
At that moment, Shawn rushed in energetically, “Mr. Ramsey, leave this matter to me.”
Robin turned and walked toward the elevator.
Alice was instantly baffled. Why is Robin treating me like this?
He should have returned the Southvale plots to me immediately.
That would have made me see him in a new light!
But wait, he let Shawn handle this matter.
Could it be that Robin wanted to give himself an out by having Shawn return the plots to us?
What a hypocritical man! Why not just give it back directly instead of going through so many twists and turns? How insincere!
She pointed at the documents for the Southvale plots that Shawn was holding. “Hand it over! Isn’t Robin just trying to use you to return the Southvale plots to us?”
Shawn glanced at Alice and the others from the Millers. Give it to you? Do you want to die? Mr. Ramsey doesn’t want to argue with you, but I do! Playing the fool, huh? If you want to play the fool, I’m your senior!”
He pointed at Alice and the others from the Millers. “If you want the Southvale plots, come with me to Abyssal Dominion to get the paperwork!
“If you dare to keep bothering Mr. Ramsey, today I’ll bring hundreds of men from Abyssal Dominion to camp outside your mansion!
“Now get the hell out! You shameless people from the Millers! Tell Hank this-if he cant discipline his own people. I’ll help him with that!”

Hannah and the others never expected that Robin would bring the Devil from Harmonfield to deal with
them.
The Devil was not someone the Millers could afford to provoke.
They immediately left the hall of the Eastvale Development Group.
Once outside, Hannah pointed at Alice and said, “How could you say such ridiculous things! Look, what
are we going to do now?
“If you can’t help us get back the Southvale plots, we will never support you in becoming the chairperson of the Miller Group!”
Alice glared at Robin’s back from a distance, gritting her teeth. “Robin, you’re a liar!”
Vera sighed. “Alice, you keep telling me you want to be woman like Daphne.
“Daphne is ruthless in her actions, but she values rules and discipline. Do you understand?
“If you can’t even handle this little thing, how can you become a queen like Daphne? You really make me look down on you!”

After a pause, she responded icily. “Vera, you’re twisting the facts completely! “Robin asked for my help, and I only agreed because I didn’t think much of him.
“Do you think I’d come all this way to ask him for something so insignificant?
“I only did what was necessary.
“Maybe you still don’t grasp Robin’s true intentions.
“Every move he makes is just a way to draw nearer to me. to keep grabbing my attention repeatedly,” Vera sighed and shook her head. “Alice, your thinking is beyond absurd. Is it all just in your head?” Alice watched Robin’s figure in the distance, a glint of sarcasm and contempt flickering in her gaze. “Do you recall how things were when I sold off the Southvale plots?
“Back then, that plot was worthless.
“Could Robin have predicted it would be so valuable now?
“Vera, it’s obvious he did it just to curry favor, to get in good with the Millers. That’s why he didn’t hesitate to borrow money from you to buy the Southvale plots from us. “Now, I’m here to reclaim what’s rightfully mine. Is there anything wrong with that? How can you accuse me of being unable to handle a loss?
“With him, winning and losing don’t even apply. I’m always on top!
“And Robin? He doesn’t even come close to being in my league!
Just watch, Vera-Robin will end up begging to hand the Southvale plots back to me
With a cold scoff. Alice turned and strode out of the Eastvale Development Group lobby.
Vera watched Alice walk away and sighed quietly, “Alice, someday you’ll regret these words.” By now. Robin had already stepped into the elevator, with Amber right behind him. Vera quickly hurried to the elevator door, calling out, Robin, let me treat you to dinner tonight!” “No time, Robin said, pressing the elevator’s close button without hesitation. “Hey, hold on… “Vera’s words trailed off as the elevator doors shut, and it began to ascend.

“You little tease, making things difficult for me!” Vera huffed, stomping her foot and hitting the elevator door.
“Ouch! That hurt!
“Fine, Robin. Trying to dodge me, are you? I’ll just wait right here until you’re done with work!”
Now, only Robin and Amber were left inside the elevator.
Robin shot a glance at Amber, who appeared unfazed. “You and Shirley are such troublemakers. You knew the Millers came to see me, yet you still made me go along with this.” Amber finally let out a laugh, covering her mouth. “Mr. Ramsey, the Millers have no shame!”
“If you realized that, why didn’t you just send them off right away?” Robin asked, shaking his head incredulously.
“Mr. Ramsey, I was planning to throw them out myself. But Ms. Dunn, knowing they were from the Millers, suddenly decided it’d be amusing to watch your reaction to meeting them.” Robin sighed, his lips pressed into a thin line. “This is getting dull. I need something more interesting than just work.”
“Absolutely!” Amber responded right away. “Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Dunn has been taking cooking lessons recently so she can prepare a meal for you.”
“Really? She’s learning to cook for me?” Robin recalled Shirley mentioning this just a few days prior.
Shirley didn’t know how to cook at all before; is she really trying to learn as she goes?
I wonder if the food she makes will be edible.
“Yes, Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Dunn has been putting in a lot of effort lately
“Forget it! The meals those rich girls make taste worse than crap!” Before Amber could finish speaking, Robin quickly strode toward his office. Amber stood there for a moment, stunned, and murmured to herself, “What does that even mean? Is Ms. Dunn’s cooking that terrible?” She walked into Shirley’s office.
At that moment, Shirley was intently watching a cooking show on her computer, diligently jotting down notes in her notebook.
“”Ms. Dunn, about the Millers…
Shirley raised her hand, indicating for Amber to stay quiet. “Let’s not talk about that anymore, Amber. Come with me after work tonight to sample some new recipes I’ve picked up.” Amber was taken aback.
“What’s the matter? Do you have something scheduled Shirley inquired, glancing up.

Liam was enraged, jabbing a finger at Eric and shouting. “You j’rk! Are you trying to trick me on purpose? The plots that’s worth three billion with the Hamiltons is now valued at a minimum of 20 billion on the market, and you actually sold it to the Dunns for 500 million! Are you working with Robin to fool me?”
Eric replied with a hint of frustration. Liam, why are you putting the blame on me?
“On the day you asked me to arrange the sale of the Southvale plots to the Dunns, they weren’t interested. Then Robin called you and told you that the value of the plots would rise the next day, but you completely disregarded it. You agreed to sell it to them for 500 million during that phone call. Don’t you remember
Before Eric could finish his sentence. Liam slammed him to the ground, shouting. “You j’rk! How dare you talk back to me!
“A few days ago. I heard that Robin has beaten you up twice. That night at the Harmont Bar, you begged in front of him in public and said you wanted to be his pet. Is that true?”
Eric’s face went pale with dread as he pleaded from the ground, “Liam. I didn’t have any other choice at that moment
“Get out!” Liam shouted, waving his hand. “Leave! You worthless idiot! You’ve made the Hamiltons lose over 10 billion overnight and humiliated us in public. You can no longer be the vice CEO of Universal Group
Eric wished to plead for Liam’s forgiveness, but instead, he was thrown out.
At that moment, Howard from the Dunn Group arrived at Liam’s office.
What is he doing here!
Eric stepped aside, observing Howard trying to win Liam over through the glass door.
He suddenly recalled the gossip that Howard had lost favor with the Dunn Group.
Was he now looking for shelter with the Hamiltons?
As Liam sat in his office, he couldn’t help but notice Howard’s overly ingratiating demeanor. With a sneer, he remarked. “Mr. Dixon, look who decided to drop by! As the vice CEO at the Dunns, what brings you here? “So, the Dunns have cs! You

Liam scoffed and added, “What’s the matter? Did your plan backfire?
“Shirley ditched you, and you got kicked out of the Dunn Group, hahaha!
“Now, tell me, what brings you here?”
Howard held back his anger and replied, “Mr. Hamilton, feel free to look down on me!
“It looks like your last plan didn’t work out either!
“We’re all reasonable people here, so there’s no need to act so arrogant.
“Right now, we share a common enemy, so let’s think this through. I didn’t come here to plead with you: I’m here to propose a partnership!
“If you’re going to treat me like this, then I must have overestimated you. I’m out of here!
With that. Howard turned to leave.
“Hold on a minute! Do you think you can undermine me, Liam Hamilton, just like that? You can’t just bark at me and walk away!”
Howard halted and shot back with a sneer. “Mr. Liam, you’re known for being charming and humble in Harmonfield. I never imagined you could be so crude and contemptible!”
Liam scoffed, “Howard, everyone in Harmonfield knows I have feelings for Shirley. You should really be
my
rival in this situation. Do you honestly think I would team up with you against the Dunns?”
Howard shook his head and replied, “Liam, you’re incredibly two-faced! Even now, you’re still pretending while talking to me.
“Ever since you came back to Harmonfield five years ago, your first goal was to scheme against the Dunns to take their place as the wealthiest family.
“How did Timothy end up sick? Who tipped off Norris, the Dunns’ rival back then?
“Mr. Liam, I’m sure you know who’s behind all this, don’t you?”
Liam rose from his chair, shooting a frosty glare at Howard. “Are you trying to investigate me?”
Howard didn’t respond to the question but continued, “Mr. Liam, with your level of intelligence, why would you give up everything for Shirley?
“I came back to Harmonfield to be with Shirley. I’ve had feelings for her for many years, and her safety is my priority!
crom the moment Timothy had his accident, I suspected something was off, I won’t elaborate on what

Connor trailed behind Robin and Rita, arriving at the door of a VIP room.
*5 Free Coins
As the door swung open, a breathtakingly beautiful woman appeared, her allure almost otherworldly.
He was momentarily spellbound by Daphine’s ethereal charm.
Wisn’t she the stunning woman he had spotted at the Violeterest Club?
From a distance, he hadn’t been able to appreciate her allure, but now, standing close, he found himself almost overwhelmed.
The sight of Daphne’s flawless features and graceful figure nearly made his nose bleed.
What surprised him even more was the presence of a maid beside her, suggesting that she must belong to a prestigious family.
What on earth is Robin-a loser like him-doing with such high-profile women? What does he really want?
Right! I get it now!
A sudden realization hit Connor. Robin was clearly using these women as a stepping stone to climb into high society. The thought infuriated him. This scoundrel is despicable!
Today, he vowed to expose Robin for the fraud he was a sleazy con artist out to exploit innocent women.
His feelings of envy and resentment made him forget the original reason he had been following Robin.
He was determined to stop Robin immediately.
After Robin and Daphne entered the room, Connor noticed that it was surprisingly noisy and lacked soundproof features.
“Sorry, Mr. Ramsey,” Daphne frowned slightly.
Turning to Rita, she instructed, “Have them change our room. It’s too loud here.”
Immediately, Rita made her way to the reception desk on the second floor.
“Hello, we’re guests in Room 3. It’s far too noisy there! Could you switch us to your quietest room?”
A young woman at the front desk glanced at Rita, who wore a blank face. She sneered, “Didn’t you see how busy our business is? You were fortunate enough to secure a room. How dare you complain about the noises? No way we’re switching!” Rita pressed on, “Please reconsider. I’ll pay any amount to switch rooms immediately!”
The receptionist, who had initially intended to ignore Rita, paused for a moment. Her eyes were flashing with disdain. “I’m sorry, miss, but without a reservation, there’s no way we can change your room. If you find it too noisy, you can leave and book another room that you prefer next time.”

Rita’s expression became icy as she admonished, “Did you expect my lady to wait for another time to treat her guests?”
After a moment of shock, several receptionists began to chuckle mockingly. “So your lady thinks she can break our rules at South Seas Tavern just because she’s hosting a dinner? How ridiculous!”
Rita coldly responded, “Tell your boss that Ms. Daphne from Violetcrest International demands a room. change!”
Laughter erupted among the receptionists. “Violetcrest International!”
Suddenly, their laughter died down. They glanced back at Rita’s icy expression, and fear coursed through them. “Y-you wait here!” one of them stammered in anxiety and darted to the back.
The other receptionists scrutinized Rita more closely. They realized she was actually Daphne’s personal maid. Even their boss couldn’t mess with someone of her status.
Offending someone like Daphne could very well spell the end for South Seas Tavern.
The tavern was bustling with customers, most of whom had to make reservations in advance and were queuing.
The owner always kept a few quiet, high-end rooms available for special guests.
“This was standard practice for reputable establishments, which reserved even unused rooms for
emergencies.
If a situation like today were to arise, they might face greater loss from an unbooked room.
Within two minutes, the tavern owner, a man in his 40s, hurried to the front desk.
The four receptionists at the front desk stood respectfully to the side.
He approached Rita with a beaming smile and a bow. “Ms. Rita, I sincerely apologize! I will personally switch your room right away.”
Initially, when the front desk informed him that Daphne from Violetcrest International had arrived, he had been skeptical.
How could someone of her stature choose to dine at a tavern of his scale?
But upon seeing Rita, his doubts vanished.
“Ms. Rita, I believe I’ve seen you on television. We have three rooms available that would suit your lady’s needs. Would you like to take a look and choose the one you prefer?”
Rita shot a dismissive glance at the front desk and asked coldly, “Didn’t you just say we couldn’t switch?
The owner, looking embarrassed, smiled nervously. “They were rude; please forgive them, Ms. Rita Ms. West is always welcome here, and we have the best room ready for her at all times.”

The owner was now sweating profusely, knowing that offending someone of Daphine’s stature would gan disaster for his establishment.
He eagerly awaited Rita’s orders.
“I don’t have time to check on them. Just choose the quietest, best room for us!”
The owner hurriedly agreed, “Then I will prepare Room 9 for Ms. West”
Rita shot him a sharp glance. “Remove all security and service personnel from the room? No one is allowed near while my lady is dining! You will personally deliver the dishes, and you can charge water you want!”
No! It’s fine. Having Ms. West here is our honor. We won’t charge her a thing: the owner repin nervously.
Rita replied coldly, “My lady doesn’t have that habit.”
“Understood! The tavern owner realized he was in no position to negotiate with someone of pitnes caliber. Connor watched from a distance as Rita spoke with the tavern owner, curious about what they west discussing.
When Daphne and Robin finally emerged from the room, he froze at the sight of their dose
What kind of underhanded tactics had Robin employed to ensnare this rich heiress so completche
Today, he would not only capture their intimate moments on camera but also expose Robin as the Sout he was!
He had to warn this wealthy woman of Robin’s true intentions!
As Connor glared at Robin’s back, his teeth clenched in fury.
He couldn’t help but notice Daphne’s alluring figure, his eyes lighting up.
Suddenly, another thought struck him.
If he unveiled the truth about Robin’s deception, perhaps the wealthy girl would be so moved that she might even like him.
If that happened, his dreams of entering high society could become a reality sooner than he though Filled with excitement at this prospect, Connor found himself energized.
He was determined to leave a lasting impression today, as it could potentially lead to a life-changing opportunity.
He observed Daphne from afar, marveling at her beauty.
She was truly a masterpiece, the very embodiment of perfection! Her grace and chaim were ethereal leaving Connor breathless and dazed.

How could Robin, this loser who goes around swindling people, manage to know such a beautiful woman?
Judging by Daphne’s youthful appearance, she couldn’the more than 18 or 19
Hmph! Robin, you scoundrel!
You can only fool innocent young girls who don’t know better
I’ll make sure you pay for that
The owner of South Seas Tavern respectfully guided Daphne and Robin to Room 9.
As per Rita’s request, he promptly cleared all security and service personnel from the vicinity, prohibiting anyone from coming within thirty feet.
He personally remained stationed at a distance, waiting for the staff to deliver the food and drink that he would then personally take to Room 9. Inside Room 9, Daphne kneeled before Robin.
“Mr. Ramsey, this situation has caught me off guard today. I couldn’t explain everything over the phone. and I appreciate your patience.” Noticing Daphne’s anxious demeanor, Robin replied indifferently. “This is about your family affairs, isn’t
“Yes, Mr. Ramsey,
“Get up. I anticipated this.”
Daphne gracefully seated herself across from Robin
“Mr. Ramsey, last time, you killed my senior, Silvester. Not long after, my mentor sent word to me, insisting I return to Sakurania within three months. The Rivers and Northern Star Sword School are planning a family head election before my 21st birthday celebration. My grandfather is preparing to step back from the family’s internal affairs.
“I know this is just an excuse on their part. You helped me break free from the Soul-Eating Charm, and Bryon’s malevolent spirits have lost their grip on me. They must have noticed by now. Two groups people sent from my family to Draconia have also gone silent. Juan didn’t mention my senior, which further confirms their suspicion of my betrayal against the family and sect. If the Rivers and the Northern Star sect weren’t wary of Draconia’s security department, they would have already come to Harmonfield”
“If I return to my country now, it could be disastrous. Please help me, Master!
Daphne knelt before Robin again.
Robin rhythmically tapped his fingers on the table, contemplating. Very well. I will accompany you back to Sakurania soon to thoroughly address their conspiracies. That vile demon. Byron, intends to resurrect himself and come back to life. That will never happen! Daphne, still kneeling, expressed her gratitude. Thank you for saving my life! Master. I want to arrange a secret itinerary to prevent any mishaps. We can fly to Qurgh and transfer to Sakurania.”

“Piper wasn’t lying. You’re not just a swindler; you’re a pervert! Preying on innocent young girls-how could you stoop so low?”
Robin turned to face the furious Connor, chuckling softly and shaking his head, choosing silence.
He knew Connor had no idea who Daphne truly was.
If he did, he might just collapse in shock.
Daphne slowly rose. Her icy gaze fixed on Connor, and she asked, “Who are you? Who let you in here?”
Connor stepped closer to Daphne and spoke earnestly, “Miss, he’s a fraud! A con artist, preying on innocent women! You need to leave him!”
Daphne’s eyes glinted with fury as she shot back. “You dare insult Mr. Ramsey? Do you want to die?”
Connor had no idea that he was in grave danger.
He believed that Daphne was simply confused by Robin’s deceitful words.

With a self-righteous demeanor, he pointed at Robin and continued, “This guy is a fraud! Do you know how many women have fallen for his tricks?
“A few days ago, he went out with several women, flirting and having fun!
“If I don’t warn you today, you’d only be getting deeper into trouble!”
Daphne’s brows furrowed slightly as she shot Connor a cold glare. She warned. “It seems you really are sick of living! I don’t feel like killing anyone today, so get out!” Connor found her words amusing
These wealthy girls often made threats of violence, but their words were empty.
He didn’t take it to heart.
However, Connor began to feel a bit irritated by Daphne’s lack of gratitude.

He puffed out his chest, feigning anger. “Miss, I’m trying to help you here! How rude of you to tell me to leave and wish me dead!
“Do you even know who he really is?
“He’s nothing but a scoundrel out to cheat you of your money and affection!”
Robin raised an eyebrow and glanced at Connor, choosing to remain silent
He wanted to see just how Connor planned to meet his end today.
Daphine was a name well known in Harmonfield, yet few had seen her in person, especially at such close quarters.
A person of Connor’s standing could hardly claim that privilege.
He would have likely been kneeling before Daphne in terror if he had recognized her identity.
“Miss, you should speak to me with a bit more respect Connor insisted, still in his condescending tone.
“Otherwise, I might get angry!
“What we lack in today’s society are people like me, willing to stand up for what’s right!
“Tin helping you right now; you need to understand that! Without me, you might fall right into this fraud’s
trap!”
At Connor’s words, Daphne’s icy demeanor momentarily melted into a captivating smile.

Those who knew Daphne understood that her smile could be far more dangerous than her frown. If she smiled at you, your death might not be far behind
“Very well, you dare to claim I have upset you? Show me your anger then Dapline purred, her playful grin almost sending Commor into a fit of laughter.
Taking a deep breath, Connor faked calmness. “You truly don’t know how to distinguish good from bad, do you! I’ve been trying to help you this entire time, yet you think I’m deceiving yout You’re so disappointing.”
Connor had barged into the private room with unwavering confidence, determined to expose Robin’s facade before Daphine,
But he never expected that she would show him no gratitude whatsoever, instead displaying nothing but disdain and mockery for his actions.
“Are you saying I’m blind?” Daphne replied with a cold laugh. “Do you even know who I am?”
Connor let out a hearty laugh, purposely portraying an exaggeratedly carefree demeanor.
“Miss, you truly have no idea what’s good for you! I risked a great deal to come into your private room to tell you he’s a scoundrel and a fraud! Instead of being grateful, you mock and even threaten me! What are you if you aren’t blind?” Daphne’s icy smile turned even colder. “In Harmonfield. I’ve never met someone who doesn’t know their place like you did. How should I express my gratitude to you? Should I chop off your limbs or gouge out your eyes?
Connor was momentarily stunned.
He looked at Daphne’s beautiful face, now adorned with a seductive smile, yet he felt a shiver run down his spine.
After a while, he convinced himself it was merely an illusion. He raised a defiant smile and said, “hich, you still don’t understand my good intentions. Miss, you really need to reflect on yourself?
“What is going through your mind? They say rich girls are pitifully foolish, and now I believe it!
“I know you come from a wealthy family, but with this foolish attitude, you’re bound to fall victim to Scoundrels like him in the future!”
Robin watched the absurdity unfold before him, unable to stifle a chuckle.
Daphne, known as the Enchanting Queen of Harmonfield, had not yet shown her more ruthless side.
This Nordmare’s Underground Queen had trained in the art of killing froin the age of three under her master Juan Denver of Sakurania’s premier martial arts sect, the Northern Star Sword School. She made her debut at 13, venturing into the underground world.

Little did anyone know that behind her enchanting facle lay hands stained with blood.
She would not tolerate anyone who dared to offend her without consequences.
Connor had the audacity to say Daphne was blind.
Today, it seemed that he would become blind.
Feeling self-satisfied, Connor suddenly noticed Robin’s mocking smile and gritted his teeth. “You dare laugh at me! Robin, do you know who sent me here today? “”You’ve been watched by many!
“I can tell you that Mr. Dixon, Mr. Liam, and several major shareholders from Dunn Group are all gathering evidence against you.
“I will present all the information I have to them. I want the world to see your true, deceitful face!”
Robin shook his head and replied, “Connor, why not focus on your job? Why must you meddle in affairs. that don’t concern you?
“At this point, it’s pointless to advise you.
“Curiosity killed the cat! If you want to play, then you should play.”
Connor pointed at Robin, speaking with righteous indignation, “All my education-taught me to be a person of righteousness, never to act as a fraud for personal gain, and certainly not to deceive per money or affection! I loathe people like you, Robin!” In that moment, Connor felt like the embodiment of righteousness.
Robin smiled indifferently and said. “You can leave now; I don’t want to waste my time with you.”

He had considered killing someone like Connor with a single blow but decided it would dirty his hands. Robin merely gestured for Connor to leave quickly.
His tone and posture gave Connor the impression that Robin was treating him like a mere ant that he could crush at will.
Connor’s pride was severely wounded.
Fuming, he retorted. “Who do you think you are? Do you believe I’ll simply leave because you told me to? I know you’re worried that I’ll expose your vile nature! “You act like you don’t care, but that’s just a mask for your anxiety!”
Robin pursed his lips and said. “Fine, if you want to stay, then stay. I hope you can handle today’s

Connor glared at Robin, who wore a disdainful expression, his words thick with threats. He chided, “I will not let trash like you succeed!”
At that moment, Rita and the tavern owner rushed in from outside.
“Miss, I’m sorry, I just answered a call from your family and was worried…
Daphne raised her hand, signaling Rita to stop talking.
The tavern owner noticed an extra person in the room.
He sized up Connor, then glanced at Daphne and Robin, immediately sensing the tension in the air.
Daphne seemed incredibly upset.
If Daphne was unhappy with her experience, his business was likely to be shut down.
“M-Ms. West, what happened? I just went to give instructions to the staff.”
Before he could finish, Daphne coldly interrupted, “How did this blind fool get in here?”
The tavern owner trembled, nearly dropping the dish he was holding.
Daphne admonished him.
He quickly turned to Connor and barked, “Who the hell are you to disturb Ms. West’s meal!!”
Connor shot a disdainful glance at the tavern owner and the dishes he held in his hands.
He shook his head in disdained and said. “The quality of this tavern is too low! Using a man in his 40s as 2 server? How laughable!”
The tavern owner pointed angrily at Connor. “You trash!”
Before he could finish, Connor interrupted. “What are you? A server like you has no right to talk back to me. Get out of here!”
The
tavern owner nearly lost his mind.
Where did this blind idiot come from?
“I’m the owner here!
“What are you, to stand here and talk to me?”
In front of Daphne, the tavern owner could be as humble as a servant.
Yet in front of someone with Connor’s level, he carried himself with the authority of a king.
“You’re the tavern owner?”
Connor finally understood that the man before him was more than just a server.

“How did you get in here?” The owner immediately picked up his intercom and commanded, “Everyone, get in here!”
Two security guards quickly rushed to the door of the private room.
“Kneel!” the tavern owner shouted in fury.
The security guards immediately dropped to their knees before Daphne and Robin.
“Sorry, boss. We were….
“”You’re fired!” the owner stated it bluntly.
The guards sighed dejectedly, “We’re sorry, Ms. West. It was our negligence!”
The scene unfolding before him stunned Connor.
This woman was indeed Daphne from Violetcrest International!
Instantly, he felt a prickling sensation at his scalp.
Just moments ago, he had called Daphne blind.
He raised his gaze to Daphne once more and, with a thud, knelt before her.
“”Ms. West, I was blind! I didn’t know.”
“Drag him out and gouge out his eyes!” Daphne commanded coldly.
Before Connor could plead for mercy, Rita quickly covered his mouth and dragged him out of room. Outside, the sound of gut-wrenching screams echoed in the hallway.

It was two o’clock in the afternoon.
Daphne personally drove Robin back to the office.
Eric was waiting for them in the lobby.
He was astounded when he witnessed the respectful scene where Daphne stood before Robin, and it only solidified his determination to side with Robin. “Mr. Ramsey, you’re finally here!” Eric hurriedly approached.
His body trembling with excitement as if he were reuniting with a long-lost relative, tears brimming in his
eyes.
“Have you been drinking heavily at lunch?” Robin scrutinized Eric, smirking, “Why are you so worked up? You’re acting like you just saw your father.”
Wiping away his tears, Eric exclaimed, “Mr. Ramsey, I’m willing to be your loyal dog forever!”
Robin raised an eyebrow, a playful smile creeping onto his face. “What’s the matter? You have a moment of enlightenment?”
Following Robin into the lobby, Eric declared, “Mr. Ramsey, from now on, I will only take orders from you. Whatever you say goes!”
Robin halted, his expression turning serious. “And you’re not afraid of Liam coming after you and tear you apart?
life With gritted teeth, Eric replied, “Mr. Ramsey, that b’stard is nothing but a beast! Since he returned, my at Universal Group has been a living hell! I’ve wanted nothing more than to distance myself from him! “Even his own father is so mad that he refuses to return to the company, Liam is a real freak!”
Robin shrugged, a detached smile playing on his lips. “Eric, you waited all afternoon just to tell me this?”
“Mr. Ramsey, this is just the beginning. Eric glanced around, then leaned in closer, speaking in a hushed tone, “I need to tell you something. Howard and Mitchell from the Dunn Group have sided with Liam today. They’re conspiring to stab you in the back!” Robin nodded thoughtfully and said, “Oh, that’s good news.”
“Not good at all. Eric noticed Robin’s indifference and grew anxious. He asked, “Mr. Ramsey, aren’t you going to come up with something to deal with them?”
“Deal with them?” Robin chuckled coldly. “They’re not even worth my time.”
Eric stood frozen in the lobby for a moment, then caught up with Robin. “Mr. Ramsey, didn’t you say you’d take me in as your dog?”
Robin was speechless. He rebuked, “Take you in? Why would I want a loser like you?”

Tears of gratitude filled Eric’s eyes, and he said, “Thank you, Mr. Ramsey, for accepting me! But what about Liam and Howard? They are plotting some scheme to bring down the Dunn Group. Are you not going to do anything about them?” With a sneer, Robin replied, “If people like those two could easily outsmart Drake, the Dunns would have fallen apart long ago.
“That’s enough. Let’s not dwell on that. There’s something else I need you to do.”
Eric’s heart raced with anticipation. He declared agitatedly, “Mr. Ramsey, whatever it is, just let me know, and I’ll give it my all!”
“Are you familiar with the Silva Group?”
“Yes, yes. Eric nodded eagerly. “What about them, Mr. Ramsey?

Robin smacked Eric on the head lightly. “Put away those foolish ideas of yours! What I need you to do is gather information on several shareholders of the Silva Group. Within a week, I want Harvey, Quincy, and her relatives out of the Silvas!” Eric was momentarily stunned. “But, this is…
“Can’t do it?” Robin’s tone was flat. “Then forget it.”
“No, no! Mr. Ramsey, gathering the information is something I can handle in a day,” Eric rushed to assure him.
“But getting Harvey and his wife out of the Silva Group may take time.”
Robin nodded and said, “Fine, just collect their information first. After that, I’ll tell you what to do next.”
“Yes, Mr. Ramsey! I’ll get right on it!” With Robin’s orders in hand, Eric eagerly left the building.
As Robin pressed the elevator button, a wave of pleasant scent enveloped him.
“Haha! What a coincidence, we meet again!”
Vera appeared before him like a mischievous spirit, her exquisite face glowing with a radiant smile.
Robin chuckled lightly and said, “It seems you’re everywhere.”
Vera linked her arm with his and stated, “You’re always in my sight.”
“Wow! We haven’t seen each other for a while; you have changed your style and turned into a poet.” Robin shook his head in amusement.
“Life isn’t just about the daily grind and challenges we face; it’s also about our dreams, aspirations, and the

“If life lacks a bit of poetic chart, what’s the point?”
“Alright then, indulge in your poetry.” Robin removed Vera’s hand. “I have to go up.”

“Wait! I’ve been waiting for you all afternoon, and I haven’t had lunch yet.” Vera blocked his path.
“You’re waiting for me? What for?” Robin frowned.
“To treat you to a meal! You’ve helped me so much; let me buy you lunch as a small favor.” Vera smiled brightly, wrapping her arm around him again.
“A meal is all it takes to repay me?” Robin shot her a sidelong glance.
“What else can I do? That’s all I can offer. Vera lowered her eyes, deep in thought.
Suddenly, her bright, innocent eyes looked lovingly at Robin. She proposed, “How about this? I’ll repay you in a different way.”
Seeing the mischievous glint in Vera’s eyes sent a shiver down Robin’s spine.
At that moment, she seemed less like a beautiful woman and more like a sly vixen.
“In what way?” he asked warily.
Vera tightened her grip on Robin’s arm, standing on tiptoe to whisper sweetly in his ear, “I could be your girlfriend, just to make it a bit easier.”
“Get lost!” Robin exhaled with a sense of relief as his heart began to race unexpectedly.
“Haha!” Vera laughed. “You actually got nervous! Haha!
Robin shook his head and urged, “Go away!”
“Look at how scared you are. Do you think I’d eat you alive?” Vera finally let her heels touch the ground and smiled. “Come on, let me take you to a lovely place for afternoon tea. “It’s in the Eastvale Business District-a newly opened trendy restaurant.
“Though not the most upscale, it’s Harmonfield’s latest and most poetic spot.
Watching Vera’s serious demeanor, Robin realized she genuinely loved the style of this restaurant.
As she spoke about it, her excitement grew.
“Despite everything else, I truly appreciate the atmosphere. This restaurant is located by Harmonfield Lake. Sitting by the window in the private room, you can take in all the scenery outside. “You can sip afternoon tea while admiring the spring day, ripples, gentle breezes, and the sunset reflecting on the lake. It’s a truly poetic experience.”
Robin shrugged and said, “You’re not the promotional manager for this place, are you? You present it in such an alluring manner that I find myself genuinely drawn to it.”

Observing Vera lost in her thoughts about the restaurant, Robin burst out laughing. I haven’t seen you in two days, and you’ve truly turned into a poet!
“Alright, based on your glowing review, I’ll accompany you to this paradise”
“I promise you won’t be disappointed!” Vera beamed as she linked her arm with Robin and headed outside.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the Sapphire Hotel by Harmonfield Lake
Even though it was only three in the afternoon, the hotel already had a plethora of luxurious cars parked in front of it.
The styles of these vehicles showed that most customers were young
These wealthy youngsters loved to indulge in a leisurely afternoon tea.
Vera led Robin to the reserved private room on the second floor.
This room was the finest in the entire cafe, spacious and offering a stunning view of Harmonfield Lake from the window.
The price was steep as well, costing 10,000 for an hour’s use.
Vera had booked it for the whole day.
As they entered the room, the sound of soft piano music filled the air, mingling with the rich aroma of tea.
Sitting by the window, a gentle breeze blew in, awakening the lazy afternoon sunlight and rippling across the waters of the lake.
The sudden commotion startled a few ducks swimming on the surface, scattering them in all directions.
The scene indeed gave one a sense of escaping the mundane world.
Vera looked at Robin with excitement. She asked, “What do you think? I didn’t lie to you, did I?”
Robin agreed. “It’s not bad.”

Vera smiled broadly and said. “If you stay here for an afternoon, you’ll never want to leave this place.”
Soon, the restaurant staff’ brought out an array of pastries, most of which had a Brookhaven style.
Robin picked up a piece of cake and popped it into his mouth.
Instantly, the fragrant cake melted in his mouth.
As he sipped a cup of tea, its bittersweet flavor entranced him, almost intoxicating him with its past and
present.
Under the gentle breeze and warm sunlight, Vera rested her chin on her hands. She was gazing at Robin with eyes full of warmth and affection.
This was the happiest moment of her 20 years of life.
After three of her family members passed away, her world had dimmed.
But since meeting Robin, everything had started to feel warm and bright again.
She sought no outcome; she simply wished to quietly stay by this man’s side.
Just the sight of him, the sound of his voice, or the thought of him brought her inexplicable joy.
Suddenly, the door to the private room burst open with a loud bang.
A young, fashionable woman appeared at the entrance.
She was flanked by two tall bodyguards and a woman in her thirties.
Vera was displeased and questioned, “What’s going on? Why didn’t you knock before barging in?!”
The thirty-something woman stepped forward and coldly declared, “Ms. Dickinson has her eyes on this room. You need to leave immediately. How much? Just name your price, and I’ll transfer the r right now!” ley to you

“Ms. Dickinson?”
Vera scrutinized the young, fashionable woman behind her.
Only then did she realize that it was Ivy Dickinson, the most popular A-list star in Qurgh.
Ivy was the reigning queen of Qurgh’s film industry, and she had come to Harmonfield.
Moreover, she was right in front of her.
Vera, despite her surprise, was not a star-struck fan.
Celebrities like Ivy, with their arrogant and demanding behavior, didn’t deserve her attention.

She expected this rare moment to be a joyful, private time for her and Robin. She wouldn’t allow anyone to interrupt it.
What did it matter to her that the current hotshot actress was nearby?
She was just another commodity in the world of entertainment.
You acted, and I watched-it all revolved around a service that the viewer paid for.
Fans were the gods and patrons of these celebrities.
How dare Ivy treat the very people who support her so rudely?
Irritated, Vera replied, “No way! I won’t switch no matter how much you offer.”
The woman speaking was Tina Nelson, Ivy’s assistant.
With Ivy’s immense fame, Tina had anticipated that countless fans in Aurientia would be ready to cry at the mere mention of her name,
She assumed that swapping a cafe’s private room was a trivial request,
After all, if given the chance, those fans would probably flatter her in devotion.
Yet here was Vera, flatly refusing their request.
But Vera’s refusal enraged Tina.
Since Ivy’s debut, numerous influential figures in Qurgh have been her admirers.
Last year, Leonardo Dicker, the heir to the Dickers from Southeast Aurientia had returned to Qurgh.
Rather than join his family business, Leonardo became the vice president of the Aurientia Regional Company for-the Aldridges.
During that time, he established his own entertainment company, Luminous Studio.

She had come to Harmonfield to shoot the scenes for a new film.
Yet here was Vera, who knew her identity but refused to give her any respect.
Tina was on the verge of exploding with anger but managed to suppress it, knowing they were public figures.
“This private room costs 10,000 an hour. I’ll give you 50.000 per hour. Surely, you can swap for that?
“Fifty thousand an hour should be a substantial sum for you,” she added.
“If you take it for 24 hours, I’ll pay you a million upfront!”
Vera was about to refuse again when Robin interjected. We can swap. Didn’t you just say you’d pay any
amount?”
“Of course!” Tina replied, a sneer forming on her lips. She looked down on the two, believing that money could easily sway them.
Money could smooth over any situation.
To her, these penniless people would fold as long as the price was right.
Suddenly, the mocking smile vanished from her face. She declared contemptfully, “Tell me how much you need. I’ll transfer it to you directly, and then you leave immediately. “Are you serious? Any amount?” Robin asked, his tone earnest.
“Haha!” Tina scoffed, “Of course, I’m serious!
“To you lowly people, money is more important than life. But to Ms. Dickinson, it’s just a number,” she added disdainfully.
“One million-Ms. Dickinson only needs to show her face on the screen for a second!
“Don’t waste our time. Just say how much you need! Take the money and leave!”
Vera was visibly frustrated and snapped, “Robin, I won’t swap for any amount! I waited over a month for this reservation!”
While chewing on cake, Robin replied with a smirk, “If they’re offering more money, why wouldn’t we swap?
“You! You’re driving me crazy!” Vera shot him a glare, unable to comprehend why Robin would bend for money.
Tina laughed derisively and asked, “Have you two agreed on a sum? Speak up quickly: Ms. Dickinson is getting impatient.” Nodding thoughtfully, Robin replied, “Alright then, let’s make it a gesture-ten billion! Once we receive

Vera was flabbergasted. “Robin, what are you doing?”

“Uh?” Vera’s cheeks flushed. Can’t he see for himself?
“”No, I’m not wearing any. Why?

Ivy was equally furious. She pointed at a nearby server and stated sternly, “I’m Ivy Dickinson! These two are bothering me. Get your boss here!”
Instantly, patrons at Sapphire Cafe flocked to Ivy upon hearing she was there.
If it weren’t for the security guards creating a barrier, they would have already crowded around her to take pictures and get her autograph.
Ivy basked in the excitement of her fans, a smug smile gracing her face.

“Ms. Dickinson likes this room, so you have to give it up! That’s my rule!”
“Are you kidding me? As the owner of this cafe, how can you say such unreasonable things?” Vera exclaimed, frustration clear in her voice. “Have you lost all sense of dignity: Laurel sneered, “In the face of status and profit, don’t talk to me about dignity! Real interests come first.

Robin let out a laugh. “There’s no consequence I can’t handle!”
With that, he grabbed Tina by the hair and shoved pieces of cake, smeared with phlegm, into her mouth.
He declared, “You can’t leave until you finish it!”
Tina struggled, trying to spit the cake out, but Robin held her hair tightly and patted her back a few times, forcing the cake down her throat.

Robin then took a second plate of cake, one of which had a filthy sock stuck to it, and shoved it directly into her mouth.

“Stop it!” Laurel shricked. “Do you know who Mr. Rygar from Abyssal Dominion is? This hotel is under his protection!
“You better kneel and apologize right now if you don’t want to kill yourself!”
Robin smiled coldly and declared, “Then let Rygar move his “ss over here!”
Laurel suddenly seemed lost.
Does he not know who Rygar is?
How dare he ask Rygar to come over?
Who in Harmonfield wouldn’t fear the name of this underground kingpin?
Robin released Tina and turned to Laurel, smirking. “I’m sitting here enjoying tea and the view, and these. two uncivilized women barged in. After all that, do you really expect me to kneel and apologize? Are you 1/5

Hearing this, Laurel was both frustrated and amused. Alright! You have got nerves! Since you’re looking for trouble, I’ll call Mr. Rygar. Let’s see if you’ll still be so arrogant when he arrives!” With that, she pulled out her phone.
Outside the private room, Ivy’s fans had begun to murmur among themselves after learning what was happening.
“Who is this guy? Is he out of his mind for hitting Ms. Dickinson’s assistant?”
“Doesn’t he know that Ivy’s backer is Leonardo, the heir of the Dickers?”
“And he actually dares to confront the owner of this cafe?”
“This is Mr. Rygar’s cafe; it looks like this guy is in for a world of trouble today!”
Seeing her bodyguard beaten and her assistant in such a sorry state, Ivy coldly asked, “Ms. Grey, can you handle this? If you can’t, I’ll take care of it myself!”
Realizing Ivy was genuinely mad, Laurel hesitated for a moment before dialing Rygar. She said in a trembling voice, “Mr. Rygar, I’m sorry to disturb you, but I have no choice. My cafe….
On the other end, came Rygar’s impatient voice. He asked, “What’s the matter? I’ll just send Shawn over! Is that satisfactory enough for you?”
“Mr. Rygar, a celebrity from Qurgh, Ivy Dickinson, has been assaulted in my cafe!” Laurel hurriedly explained.
There was a long silence on the other end. Rygar asked, “Ivy Dickinson? Who assaulted her? Don’t they know this place is under Abyssal Dominion’s protection?”
“Mr. Rygar, this person is very arrogant; he specifically called you out,’ Laurel added, embellishing her words, “He said that even if you come, he’ll still make you kneel!” Rygar let out a laugh. “What? A motherf*cker who doesn’t know when to quit? Call Shawn and have lim take care of that guy! He’s obviously asking for it!”
Laurel smirked slightly and said, “His name is Robin Ramsey; I’ve looked into it. He doesn’t belong to any notable family in Harmonfield. The other one is Ms. Silva Suddenly, there was a flurry of noise on the other end as if Rygar had fallen over.
Then, the call-abruptly ended.
The situation momentarily stunned Laurel.
She suspected that Rygar must have been so furious that he ended the call.
Perhaps he would soon arrive with his men from Abyssal Dominion.

Chapter 160 Total Ban on Ivy
From Abuccal Dominion, the cafe was five minutes away.
Laurel set down her phone. She turned to Robin and smirked. “Mr. Rygar will be here soon; you might want to pray for your luck! Haha!”
Then she turned to Ivy, explaining just who Rygar was in Harmonfield.
Ivy and Tina nodded, satisfied with the information they received.
Their gazes were icy cold as they looked at Robin and Vera.
Tina let out a cold laugh and said, “If only you had known better, offending the local mob boss means you’re in for a rough time today. “Thinking you could step out of line without the strength to back it up? You’re just digging your own grave! Haha!”
Outside, the fans watched Robin and Vera with pity.
“When Mr. Rygar arrives, they wouldn’t get out of here alive!”
“Sometimes, all it takes is swallow your pride for things to pass without incident.”
“She’s a top star, and the forces behind her could easily crush you.”
“Mr. Rygar has to kneel before the powerful figure behind Ivy!”
“Can you believe he actually laid hands on Ivy’s assistant? Haha! Talk about ignorance and audacity!”
At that moment, the crowd of onlookers erupted into chaos.
Immediately after, everyone fell silent and made way as Rygar and Shawn rushed in, followed by de of Abyssal Dominion’s subordinates.
Laurel hurried forward and said, “Mr. Rygar, this is Ms Dickinson, and this is her assistant.”
Rygar ignored her and anxiously surveyed the disarray in the room.

He and Shawn quickly approached Robin and Vera. Rygar urged, “Mr. Ramsey, take a break. I’ll handle the situation here!”
Laurel was stunned and hurried after them. She said, “Mr. Rygar, you’ve made a mistake! He’s the one who assaulted Ms. Dickinson’s assistant!”
Rygar straightened his back slowly and turned to Laurel. He asked in a low voice, “Why did Mr. Ramsey hit hert
“Well… Laurel was momentarily at a loss.
“Why did Mr. Ramsey hit her?” Rygar repeated, his tone icy
Laurel stared at Rygar’s dark expression, shuddering in fear. “Ms. Dickinson wanted to use this room and asked to trade with them, but they refused. Then… then that jerk hit her.”

With a loud slap, Rygar struck Laurel across the face.
“So what if he struck an actress’s assistant?
“Mr. Ramsey is not someone you, a worthless piece of ash, can insult! Kneel before him!”
Laurel was taken aback. “Mr. Rygar, she… she is Ms. Dickinson… from Luminous Studio.”
Before she could finish, Shawn grabbed her by the hair and slammed her down onto the table. “Motherf*cker! I protect your cafe, but I end up letting snobby little wretch like you run wild? “Kneel and apologize to Mr. Ramsey and Ms. Silva!”
Laurel’s face was bloodied and dizzying from the impact.
She never imagined Rygar and Shawn would be so humble in front of Robin.
Could it be that Robin’s background was even more prestigious than Leonardo of the Dickers?

She dared not defy Shawn’s order. Therefore, she kneeled before Robin and begged, “I’m sorry was blind
Robin smiled indifferently and pointed at Tina. Fine, you and she can finish all of this. It would be a
shame to waste it.
Shawn glanced at Tina, a sinister smile creeping onto his face as he kicked her to the ground. “Kneel! You dare waste Mr. Ramsey’s cake? You’re asking for it!
“Eat every last bit! If you waste a single crumb, and I’ll make you regret it!”
With that, he spat on the ground and pushed her head down onto the pastries.
Tina struggled and cried out, “Ms. Dickinson, please call Mr. Leonardo! These b*stards….
“How dare you insult me?!” Shawn slapped her twice across the face.
“Stop it, you thugs!” Ivy trembled with rage, pulling out her phone and dialing Leonardo. “Leonardo, dear, sob… sob…” Ivy sobbed. Tm being assaulted while shooting in Harmonfield!” Leonardo’s indignant voice echoed through the phone. “Who is so bold to lay a hand on my people?!
“Tell him your backer is me, Leonardo of the Dickers! Whoever dares to offend you will face a fate worse than death!”
Ivy glared at Robin and Rygar. “Did you hear that? If you don’t give me an explanation today, the Dickers will use all their power to make you answer for it!”
Robin grinned at Ivy and asked, “So, Leonardo of Luminous Studio, huh? I’ll give you an explanation!”
Fuming. Ivy put her phone on speaker and threw it into Robin’s hands. “If you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation today, prepare to die!”
Robin picked up the phone and spoke, “Leonardo, it’s Robin Ramsey.”

The power of the Dickers was beyond what these people could comprehend.
Dealing with Robin and Rygar would be effortless even outside the city.
On the other end, Leonardo fell silent for a long time. He was clearly shocked.
“Robin… Mr. Ramsey? How can it be you?…” Leonardo asked in a trembling voice.
“You’ve got an actress named Ivy here. She claimed that the Dickers plan to use all their power to make me give her an explanation. So, tell me, how do you want me to do that?” Robin replied, indifferent.
Upon listening to Robin’s conversation with Leonardo, Ivy snorted coldly.
She had already decided to go to the bottom, and Robin wouldn’t escape unscathed today.
But in the next moment, she was shocked.
She heard Leonardo’s voice on the other end, trembling with fear, I’m sorry, Mr. Ramsey! I didn’t know This wicked woman had offended you. Please calm down!
“I will terminate her contract immediately. From now on, Luminous Studio will impose a total ban on Ivy!
