Jonah managed to shake off Diana’s clinginess and quickly led Alison to flee from the restaurant.
As they stepped outside the Velvet Hotel, he paused his steps and turned to face Alison, whose expression was a misture of concern and confusion.
“Alison, I need to ask you something,” he said sternly.
“What is it?” Alison jumped slightly, she had never seen Jonah look so grave before.
While I was introducing you to Mr. Ramsey today, I noticed something. He seemed to be rather cold toward you, almost as if he wanted nothing to do with you.”
Jonah’s gaze bore into hers and demanded, “Tell me, have you offended Mr. Ramsey in any way?”
Flustered, Alison frantically avoided Jonah’s penetrating stare.
Ever since her father had passed away when she was ten, she had lived with her grandmother.
During those years, Jonah hadn’t started his own family. He often took care of Alison.
He had supported her education until she graduated.
In her heart, Alison always thinks of Jonah as her father
Now, facing his pointed question, Alison hesitated for what felt like an eternity be the misunderstanding between her and Robin in Terenova.

Yet she dared not speak a word about the incidents at Dreamscape Bar or the film festival.
Jonah’s
‘s response was swift and furious after he recounted the entire story. He slapped Alison lightly across the face. “You’re being foolish! How could Mr. Ramsey do something so disgraceful? Who told you such filthy stuff?”
Tears welled up in Alison’s eyes as she realized the depth of his anger. She said, “It was a flight attendant named Ashley, who was on the same plane as me.”
Jonah shook his head in disbelief and repriminded, “You believe him? Do you lack the ability to discern. between right and wrong? And why should you care about someone else’s business?
“What gives you the right to judge Mr. Ramsey’s life? Do you even know his background or his experiences?
Alison thought about the powerful figures of Terenova, recalling how they had appeared Lefore Robin. She nodded bitterly; in her eyes, Robin had become a towering presence, almost unattainable.
“I see my mistake now, Uncle Jonah,” she murmured.
At that moment, a bruised and limping Ashley stumbled after them. He asked, “Alison, what happened?”
Jonah pointed an accusatory finger at Ashley and asked, “You’re Ashley, right?”

“I’m Alison’s uncle. Keep your distance from her from now on!” Jonah’s voice was cold, filled with a protective intensity.
“What’s going on?” Ashley asked, confusion evident in her tone.
“What’s going on? Is it necessary to have a reason to forbid you from seeing her? Alison will never be interested in trash like you!” Jonah shot back, anger flaring
“You! How could you speak to me like that?” Ashley retorted; his temper flared
“How am I speaking is none of your business! Get lost! Jonah pointed at Ashley. He grabbed Alison’s hand as they exited the restaurant.
They hopped onto Robin’s electric scooter and headed toward the Eastvale Development Group.
Just as they were pulling away. Alison pointed at a passing Mercedes. “Uncle Jonah, I think I saw Aunty Leigh in that cart
Jonah followed her gaze, but the Mercedes had already sped by.
“Leigh? She said this afternoon she was taking the kids to a parent–child event and wouldn’t be back until late. How could she be in that car?
“You must have seen wrong. Let her take you out to have some fun tomorrow,” he
dismissively
Alison furrowed her brow and mumbled to herself, “No, I saw her clearly
“Enough with the paranoia. Let’s go, Jonah said, giving her a light pat on the head as they rode toward the Eastvale Development Group.
Meanwhile, Robin, Shirley, and Amber drove to a Benzania barbecue house on Dawn Street.
They initially planned to grab a casual bite, but Shirley mentioned to Robin that it had been a while since she had enjoyed barbecue.
“Last time I had barbecue was two years ago, she sighed
Ever since her company became involved in the Eastvale Ecological Project, she has rarely had time to indulge in a proper meal.
The three of them arrived at the newly opened restaurant, only to find it packed with people.
It was a large buffet–style restaurant. They prepared the barbecue to a standard worthy of a five–star hotel.
All the grilled dishes were fresh and delicious, with chefs flown in from overseas.
Since its opening, the restaurant has been bustling with customers every day.
At this hour, the first floor was already full.

Robin pointed toward the second floor. He said, “There should be some seats available up there; let’s go find a quieter spot.
Just as they started up the stairs, Amber tugged on Shidley’s sleeve, whispering, “Ms. Dunn, I think that’s Mr. Ferguson’s wife, Leigh Swanson.”
Shirley followed the direction that Amber had indicated. She asked, Tve never met Jonah’s wife before. She is quite attractive and appears to be at least ten years younger than Jonah.
Amber chuckled and said, “Leigh is indeed younger than her husband. She used to work for his company. I guess she must be around 30 now.”
But before she could finish, Amber stopped half–way.
The scene before them left both women in shock.
A man beside Leigh was playfully holding her close in his arm and his hands inappropriately roaming over her.
The intimate nature of their interaction was unmistakable.
Shirley quickly turned her gaze away and said. “Amber you must be mistaken. Let’s hurry up and leave.”
“I’m not wrong, Ms. Dunn!” Amber insisted.
“The last time I delivered a document to Mr. Ferguson at his office, I ran into his wife
“Enough of this gossip. We’re here to eat, Shirley said, pulling Amber along.
“Remember, don’t talk about other people’s business!
“Especially not the affairs of company senior executives!” she added sternly.
“Just focus on your own work and don’t be a busybody

Amber took a few steps forward, instinctively glancing back at the woman.
She was pretty sure the woman was Jonali’s wife.
At that moment, Leigh was nestled in the arms of a man and laughed seductively.
The difference between this Leigh and the one Amber had seen last time was staggering.
Leigh’s relationship with this man was clearly inappropriate.
Amber shook her head and continued walking alongside Shirley and Robin.
They each chose their favorite dishes and settled down at a table by the window.

The second floor was quieter than the bustling first floor, with only a few customers scattered around.
Shirley picked up a piece of medium–rare steak and eagerly took a bite. ‘I do feel a little hungry today,” she
said
Robin chuckled at Shirley’s eagerness to eat, her gray outfit making the moment even more amusing. He asked with a smile, “Are you starving?”
Swallowing her mouthful, Shirley took another bite and replied, “Of course I’m hungry! At this hour, I haven’t had any food yet. Aren’t you hungry?”

Stunned, Shirley shook her head in disbelief. “Get lost! What nonsense are you talking about?”

Noticing the slight bitterness in Shirley’s eyes, Robin continued, “You’ve prepared all day for this, but the outcome is so different from what you expected. Are you feeling a bit disappointed?”
Shirley pursed her lips and said, “Yes, quite a bit.
“But that’s okay. At least now you know the truth, and there’s no point in having expectations, Let the be the past. Let’s not talk about it and just enjoy our meal!”
She thought for a moment, muttering. “If I had known things would turn up like this, I wouldn’t have bothered changing into this outfit today.
“If I had just told her who I really was when I walked in maybe I wouldn’t have had to witness that disgusting scene. Not knowing the truth might have been better.”
Robin chuckled and said, “That’s true!

“Let’s not dwell on that. The barbecue here is really good; eating something satisfying will lift our spirits. How about I get you some red wine?”

I’ll get it. Ms. Dunn, you’re hungry, so keep eating, Arber said, putting down her fork and heading toward the service counter.
As she reached the counter with two glasses of water, she turned and bumped into a man and a very stylishly dressed woman.
Amber froze for a moment, spilling some of the water from her cup.
The woman instinctively looked at Amber.
The man beside her also noticed her and exclaimed, Amber?”
A flicker of sadness crossed Amber’s eyes as she maneuvered around them, quickly making her way back
to her seat.
“Hey, stop right there!” The woman tugged at the man beside her.
“Rufus, didn’t you have some unspeakable affair with that girl?”
The man named Rufus Covington twitched his lips and said, “Trinity, what crap are you talking about?”
“This isn’t right! Hey, stop there!” Trinity grabbed Rufus and hurriedly pursued Amber.
By this time, Amber had almost reached her table again, not expecting the couple to follow her.
Robin noticed that Amber looked unwell.
Before he could ask what was wrong, he glanced up and saw a sharply dressed man woman storming toward them.

“You stop right there! I was calling out to you! Why did you run off so quickly? Did you seduce Rufus!” Trinity screamed, gesturing accusingly at Amber.
Amber replied coldly. “You’re crazy!”
“What? You dare to accuse that I’m crazy?” Trinity looked Amber and Shirley up and down, her eyes gleaming with disdain.
When she spotted their outfits, she sneered, “You lowlifes actually dare to insult me!”
She picked up a cup of water from the table and splashed it directly at Amber.
Rufus quickly tried to intervene and said. “Trinity, don’t do this!”
Before he could finish his sentence, the cup of hot water had splashed across Amber’s face
Furious, Amber stood up and questioned, “What do you want from me?”
The commotion immediately drew the attention of many diners around them.
Shirley was also confused by the unfolding drama. She asked, “What are you doing? Amber, what’s happening?
The woman pointed at Shirley and chided, “You shut up! Mind your own business!”

At those words, a chill flickered in Robin’s eyes as he lifted his gaze to take in Rufus’s pale, repulsive face.
How could someone bully a woman who had poured her heart and soul into him?
It was despicable and genuinely unforgivable.
With a cold laugh. Amber fixed her gaze on Rufus. She declared, “During those years, I worked tirelessly to pay your tuition and to make sure you had better meals at school. I sacrificed my own needs, giving you almost every penny I earned from my job.
“I kept only a small amount for myself, living off just three pancakes a day. I did all that to save money for you, hoping that one day you would graduate and we could live a happy life together.
“But the year you graduated, you told me you needed a lot of money for a project. I borrowed 100,000 dollars online to lend to you.
“Less than three days after giving you that money, you told me you had fallen for someone else.
“I realized at the time that there were truly ungrateful people like you in this world! You’re a beast!
“After that, it took me a long time to repay that loan.
As Amber’s words rang out, the people in the restaurant turned their furious eyes toward Ruf
Is that man even human?
No! He is a heartless beast.
Trinity sensed all the attention on them and instinctively stepped away from Rufus.
“I even called you and asked what happened to the promise you made me, Amber sneered coldly.
“You told me that you found a wealthy girlfriend and that if you truly loved someone, you should wish for their happiness.
“You claimed that being with this woman, you could work less and achieve your life goals sooner.
“After hearing that, I realized I had become a joke! I enslaved myself for three years to support a monster like you!
“Eventually, I came to terms with it. I truly thank that woman for taking in a beast like you. If I’m not mistaken, it’s this uncultured woman by your side.”
Trinity pointed at Amber and asked, ‘Are you insulting me?”
Amber laughed and rebuked. ‘Do I need to repeat whether you have any manners? Everyone in this restaurant has noticed it. Birds of a feather flock together.
“I should congratulate both of you–a pair of beasts!”
The crowd in the restaurant began pointing at Rufus and Trinity, hurling insults their way.

Trinity and Rufus appeared visibly shaken upon realizing their actions had sparked public outrage.
“Y–You… What nonsense are you saying? Trinity instinctively looked to Rufus for support.
“Rufus, tell them things aren’t like what she says.”
Rufus was filled with rage and shot back, “Amber, you shameless woman! I had told you back then that you lent me money for three years, and I’d pay you back after I graduated. I never promised you anything!
“Besides, you decide to work to earn money for me was entirely your choice! Why would I desire a poor. woman like you?
“Everything I told you back then was a lie. I just thought you were gullible and played you for a fool! You believing me only shows how stupid you are. Can you blame me for that?
“Trinity, don’t listen to her nonsense. Nothing happened to us in high school.
“We didn’t even understand what love was back then.”
Amber laughed again. “What happened to the money I gave you? I funded your education; why didn’t you pay me back?
“Do you want me to post all the receipts of the money I sent you and the letters you wrote to me online? Let everyone see what kind of person you are.”
Trinity raised her hand and was ready to slap Amber. Shirley intercepted her with a swift face. “You’re still at it!”
Robin’s brow twitched slightly; he had never seen her boss act violently.
Trinity, stunned and reeling from the slap, exclaimed, “Y–you dare…?”
She then began to cry, shouting, “Rufus, did you see this? They’re bullying me!”

Before Rufus could respond, Robin pointed at them and asked, “What if they are? You two lowly people. kneel and apologize to Amber right now!” Robin commanded.

In the midst of his speech, he slapped Rufus across the face. He chided, Trash! Kneel!”

Stunned, Trinity was momentarily taken aback as she assessed Shirley’s attire.
She suspected that Shirley lacked any significant background and glared at her with malice. “I don’t care who you are!”
Shirley shook her head at her ignorance,
When her company was tangled in disputes over the Southvale plots, Mitchell had allied himself with at group of shareholders to sabotage and attempt to seize control of the company.
Now destitute, he turned to Lam for refuge.
Drake hadn’t had the chance to deal with this treacherous scoundrel
If he had, the Klines would have long been wiped out in Harmonfield!
“Call him to get here now!”
Trinity glared ferociously at Shirley. She pulled out her phone and cried out, “Dad, I’m Town Streets Benzania Grill House! They beat me and Rufus up! Come here now!”
Rufus struggled to get up, but despite his numerous attempts, he couldn’t manage it.
He shouted loudly, “Where’s the owner of this restaurant? We’ve been assaulted by these thugs! Isn’t there security in your hotel?
“I’ll tell you this! My girlfriend’s dad is Mitchell Kline. If he arrives and notices that you’re doing nothing. he may decide to tear down the entire place,
At that moment, a short, stout man rushed down from the second floor, followed by a dozen security guards.
Staff members had just informed Isaiah Muller, the owner of the grill house, that Ms. Kline and her boyfriend were under attack.
This was serious!
Mitchell had once been the second–largest shareholder of the Dunns.
Even though he had now left the Dunn Group, his family still held considerable power in Harmonfield.
If this situation wasn’t handled properly, the consequences could be dire.
However, Isaiah had heard from his staff that the trio who was berating them seemed formidable.
While he didn’t know their identities and backgrounds, it was a risky move to confront them directly.

Those security guards were assisting Rufus and Trinity, who were still struggling to stand.

He turned to the group and asked, “How could you hit them? Quickly apologize to Ms. Kline, and let’s end. this peacefully, shall we?”
Robin laughed and retorted, ‘Apologize to them? You think these two animals deserve an apology?!”
Judging from Robin’s fierce stance, Isaiah couldn’t gauge their backgrounds and felt hesitant to act rashly.
As he struggled to manage the situation, sweat trickled down his forehead.
Just then, the roar of motorcycles filled the air outside the grill house.
A middle–aged man and a dozen bodyguards quickly climbed out of three SUVs.
“Trinity, what’s going on?” Mitchell climbed to the second floor and instantly spotted kneeling on the ground.

“Tell me, who did this to you?”
“Those three b*stards!” Rufus and Trinity pointed simultaneously at Shirley and Robin.
Mitchell looked at them.
At first, he was unable to identify who they were.
Just as he was about to explode with anger, he realized it was Drake’s granddaughter, Shirley!
“Shirley! Oh, it’s you!” Mitchell stammered.
He quickly remembered he was no longer a major shareholder in the Dunn Group. “Hmm, Ms. Dunn, Mr. Ramsey, and Ms. Jenning, why are you here?”
“Why shouldn’t I be here, Mitchell?” Shirley replied with a cold laugh.
Mitchell understood that by addressing her directly, Shirley had completely kicked him out of the
company.
How could he confront a Dunn heiress?
After years of following Drake, he knew that old man was a force to be reckoned with.
Offending his granddaughter would not end well for hen.

“Dad?” Trinity looked at Mitchell in shock, then back at Shirley. “You want me to apologize to her? Who the hell is she?”
Mitchell struck her again, his voice low but firm “She’s Mr. Drake’s granddaughter and the president of the Dunn Group. Is that enough? Apologize to her immediately!”
Realizing what had happened, Mitchell kicked Rufus hard.
“You pauper! I’ve never liked you! Remember this; if you ever bother Trinity again, I’ll make you regret it!”
Taking a deep breath, Mitchell turned to Shirley and Robin. He said, “Ms. Dunn, Mr. Ramsey, can your anger be soothed now?”
Shirley waved her hand dismissively and commanded. Take your daughter and leave!”
“Yes, yes, of course. Mitchell hurriedly led Trinity out of the restaurant.
Rufus watched in despair as they walked away, knowing he would never gain entry into the Klines world.
Robin shook his head and said, “What a shame! We were all set for a nice dinner, and this trash ruined its Come on, let’s head back. I’ll cook for you!”

Amber stopped in her tracks.
Robin casually handed her a bottle of red wine.
He hinted, “Ms. Jenning, this bottle is quite handy.”
Amber took the bottle and walked over to Rufus, bringing it down hard on his head.
“B*stard! You want me to forgive you? If I agree to that must be out of my mind!”

In her younger years, she had been naive.
She didn’t realize that pure kindness and selfless dedication could leave one deeply scarred.

The sharp sound of the locks echoing in the silent parking lot startled a couple entwined in the shadows.
They quickly scrambled to fix their disheveled clothes, as the cramped space made it impossible to hide their activities.
At that moment, Leigh couldn’t avoid running into Robin, Shirley, and Amber.
Freezing in her place, Amber couldn’t believe her eyes–this woman was Leigh!
Leigh quickly peeled the man’s hands off her and tried to duck her head and hide.
But with Robin, Shirley, and Amber blocking the way, there was no room to escape.
Leigh could only manage an awkward smile. “Oh, it’s. Ms. Jenning! What a coincidence to see you here. Did you park your car here too?”
Amber’s mood was already sour, and seeing Leigh–now a married woman–flirting behind Jonah’s back with another man only stoked her anger.

After a brief moment of panic, she quickly regained her composure, awkwardly nodding at Shirley and Robin as they hurried past her toward the exit.
“Get in the back!” Robin opened the car door and pulled Amber out.
Amber took a deep breath, realizing her emotions were escalating beyond control. She lowered her head. and said, I’m sorry, Mr. Ramsey. I lost my composure.

Meanwhile, Leigh stood there, bewildered, staring at the car and its license plate.
“They’re driving Jonah’s car?!” she exclaimed in panic, grabbing the man’s hand tightly.
“What are we going to do, Patrick?
Just now, one of those three was Jonah’s colleague. I’ve seen her before.”

“What are you so nervous about? They didn’t see us do anything

“Robin, have you heard about the incidents that involved our investment partners for the Eastvale Ecological Project?” Shirley rushed into Robin’s office, clutching a report.
Robin nodded and said, “Ms. Jenning is in the middle of informing me that.”
Shirley was seated across from him and asked, “What’s your take on this?”
Robin’s fingers tapped rhythmically on the desk.
He said, “Clearly, someone is manipulating this situation from the shadows, aiming to disrupt the entire investment structure of the project.
“If that happens, our company’s massive investment will be wasted.”
Shirley’s brow furrowed and she said, T’ve done the math: even if we pursue legal action gainst these defaulting partners, it would end up costing us more than we gain..
However, if we don’t resort to legal means, we’ll be at a severe disadvantage.
The mastermind behind this termination is clearly out to destroy our company, but who is this person and why are they targeting us?”

“I’m well aware of the capital strength of the Hamihong Universal Group,” Robin replied.
“Despite their claims of matching Dunn Group’s capabilities in Harmonfield, they seem to have the ambition to surpass us
“But their own capital is extremely weak, and their rapid expansion over the past two years has led to significant losses.
“The Hamiltons could collapse instantly if any part of their operation encounters a snag.
“Even if they were to combine bank financing and private loans with their current capital structure, the total would not exceed 30 billion.
Tjust didn’t get how they could manipulate over 100 projects across Brookhaven.”

“Also, let the investment development department find out the current status of those 50 companies.
“If they plan to terminate their agreements, let them do it today and reclaim their penalties. With such a valuable project, why worry about finding business partners for development?
“Changing the terms of the agreement is out of the question.”
Shirley agreed. “Exactly. Even if we pause the development temporarily, we can’t disrupt t investment plan for the project.
“If the entire layout is compromised, the project will face severe instability.

Her skin was silky smooth. It was a delightful sensation.
Suddenly, Shirley turned around, catching Robin gazing at her with a sparkle in his eyes.
Her cheeks flushed and she asked, “Are you staring at me?”
“What? Yes!” Robin stammered, unable to help himself “You really do have an hourglass figure.”

“What?” Shirley didn’t expect such a straightforward compliment from him and quickly turned away, her face burning as she rushed out of the office.
Once she returned to her own office, she shut the door tightly.
Recalling Robin’s gaze and words made her cheeks flush even hotter.
She covered her face and giggled to herself, thinking about that night.
After Shirley and Amber left, Robin sent out a command.
“Investigate the source of Universal Group’s recent capital influx!”
Just as he finished typing, Vera’s cheerful face popped up on his phone screen, accompanied by an upbeat ringtone-“How can I be so pretty? Huhuhuhuhuwo! Wow wow wow wow wow wow!”
Robin stared at Vera’s smiling face. Had this woman changed her ringtone again?
He pressed the answer button.
“Robin, hahaha!” Vera’s joyful laughter rang through the phone. “Guess where I am right now?”
Robin checked the time and said, “At this hour, where else could you be other than your office?”
“I’m out here helping your ex–fiancée buy an engagement gift.
““Get
“Get lost! If that’s all you have to say, I’m going to end the call.
Vera hurriedly protested, “Wait! Let’s chat for a bit. I haven’t seen you in days, and I really miss you. Haha!”
Robin said, “I’m too busy right now; I don’t have time to take you out for dinner. How about we catch up Tomorrow at Martin’s celebration?
“After this hectic period, I’ll treat you to a delicious meal. No, wait! You’ll treat me!”

At Harmonfield’s largest resort, a seaside retreat, flowers bloomed in abundance, and luxury cars filled the parking lot.
Today marked the celebration of General Wright’s recovery. The event was hosted by the Wrights.
In honor of Martin’s improved health, they had invited many of Brookhaven’s elite families.
The entire seaside resort had been reserved exclusively for this grand occasion.
The centerpiece of the celebration was a five–star restaurant within the resort.
Given the numerous guests attending to congratulate Martin, the family had arranged separate banquets on the first to third floors of the restaurant
Martin reserved the fourth floor for his most important guests, and used the presidential suite on the fifth floor as a private space for conversations with these VIPs.
At a grand gathering like this, everything appeared equal on the surface, but beneath that facade lay a world of hierarchy and distinctions.
The first floor mainly accommodated second- and third–tier families.
To gain entry, each individual required an invitation from the Wrights.
These families took great pride in receiving an invitation to such an exclusive event.
In terms of wealth, the families seated on the first floor were worth tens of millions, while those worth. millions were not even eligible to enter the resort; they could only mingle outside without a seat.
Nevertheless, many millionaires would send pricey gifts and wait outside in the hopes of meeting wealthy families, believing that a connection they made today could propel them into success.
The second floor housed billionaires and some lesser–ranked politicians and organizations.
Brookhaven’s top ten affluent families and high–ranking politicians reserved the third floor for themselves.
On the fourth floor, only one dining table was set up for the most distinguished guests personally invited by Martin.
The restaurant lobby posted the guest list and seating arrangements for the first three floors to maintain order during the celebration.
However, access required a special entrance, and the fourth floor list remained confidential
When Robin and Shirley arrived at the resort, it was already a bustling scene.
Guests had gathered early outside the entrance.
The line of vehicles extended from the resort and out onto the street.

As Shirley and Robin walked toward the entrance, they caught the attention of many.
Their attractiveness quickly became a lovely sight.
“Hey, guys, how are you?” Vera called out as she approached from behind.

She looped her arm through Robin’s and eyed him playfully. “I haven’t seen you in a few days, and you look even more handsome!”
Robin scoffed lightly and declared, “I’ve always been this handsome, okay?”
Very laughed and jabbed, “Well, a man should have that level of confidence. I love it!”
As they chatted, Shirley watched them with a smile, Vera’s cheeks blushed, and she praised, “Ms. Dunn. that dress looks absolutely stunning on you! You make everything look good!”
Shirley blushed deeper and sneaked a glance at Robin. “Ms. Silva, you’re so sweet! You’re the one with the captivating figure!
Vera grinned and said joyfully, “Ms. Dunn, the last time I saw a gorgeous violet gown at Armani, it was breathtaking! We should go check it out together someday.”
Robin pursed his lips slightly. Whenever women gathered, their conversations quickly turned to clothes, makeup, and beauty,
For them, such topics were inherently exciting.
“Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Dunn, hello!” Jonah called out as he hurried toward them.
His wife, neice, and daughter, Isla Ferguson, were tailing him from behind.
“Oh, Ms. Silva is also here.” Jonah nodded at Vera.
“Darling, let me introduce you to Mr. Ramsey and Ms. Dunn.”
Leigh froze in surprise.
She hadn’t anticipated that the three individuals from the parking lot two nights ago were part of the Dunn Group.
Even more challenging was the revelation that they were Robin and Shirley.
She was clearly aware that they had observed her and Patrick’s interaction, which caused her to feel
nervous.
“Leigh, what’s wrong?” Jonah noticed her dazed expression and prompted her.
Leigh jolted a little and greeted, “Mr. Ramsey… hmm, Ms. Dunn, hello,”
She extended a trembling hand.
Robin smiled politely, hands in his pockets, not intending to shake her hand. Instead, he offered a casual, indifferent smile. “Hello.

However, he dismissed it, realizing that understanding Robin and Shirley’s mindset was beyond him.
He then turned to his daughter and prompted, “Isla, come over here and say hello to Daddy’s friends.”
Vera looked at Isla with a smile and said. “Mr. Ferguson, your daughter doesn’t look anything like you.”
Jonah paused for a moment before chuckling. “If my daughter looked like me, wouldn’t that be quite a sight? Hahaha!”
He spoke without noticing Leigh’s anxious expression and added, “Isla takes after her mother; that’s what makes her beautiful
Vera wanted to continue the conversation, but Leigh quickly interjected.
“Ms. Silva, it’s a pleasure to meet you! I’ve heard Jonah speak of you often; you’re truly lovely
“Haha! Thank you for the compliment!”
Vera beamed. Observing Leigh nestled comfortably against Jonah, she felt a twinge of envy. “Mr. Ferguson. you and your wife seem very happy together!”
Jonah smiled shyly and said, “Leigh has dedicated herself to taking care of the house and rais children since we got married. We’re indeed quite happy
Leigh snuggled closer to Jonah, her devoted demeanor drawing many envious glances.

He patted Jonah on the shoulder and said, “Why don’t you take your daughter and explore a bit? We’ll head inside now,”
Jonah nodded, not holding them back.
His status restricted him to staying in the first–floor lobby.
Meanwhile, Robin and Shirley would certainly be up on the second or third floors–they were simply not

Alison hesitatingly approached Robin, her voice trembling as she whispered, “Mr. Ramsey, I misunderstood you before. I’m sorry.”
Robin chuckled and said. “That’s all in the past. There’s no need to keep bringing it up. Besides, it didn’t really bother me at all.
Alison bit her lip, unsure how to continue the conversation.
Just then, Alice and Zachary approached from behind. “Robin! You better stop right there!
“I saw you at the resort entrance earlier. Were you trying to avoid me by leaving so quickly?
Robin offered a disinterested smile and said, “You’re free to think whatever you want; as long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.”
Alice glanced at Shirley and politely greeted, “Ms. Dunn, hello.”
Shirley looked at her coldly, as if she were a fool, and offered no response.
Alice forced a smile and said, “Ms. Dunn, I just need a moment with Robin.”
Ignoring her, Shirley remained silent.
Alice pressed on, “Robin, have you considered what I told you at the airport the other day?
“I’m getting engaged to Zachary tomorrow. There will be many elite guests attending. Aren’t you even a little curious?”

I know you’re hurting, but we’re not equivalent; it won’t happen.
“You need to accept reality and stop living in your fantasy world.
“Do you really think your avoidance will change the facts? It won’t!
So, you should witness my luxurious engagement ceremony with your own eyes and let go of your feelings for me.”
“When you realize I’m a woman you could never aspire to, you’ll let go of any hope of having me.
I’m saying and doing this for your own good. I don’t want to see you go astray just to win me over!
Robin shook his head helplessly and said, ‘Alice, there’s something seriously wrong with your head, you need treatment!“”
“What?” Alice was furious at Robin’s response, “Robin, you’re hopeless!
“I invited you to my engagement ceremony out of goodwill and hope to heal your emotional wounds through this cathartic experience, and yet you don’t appreciate it!”
Vera sensed that the conversation was going in the wrong direction. She quickly interjected. “Alice, what are you doing?
“Robin has long moved on; why are you clinging to this again and again?
“You said it yourself; you two are over. Let’s stop dragging up these meaningless things, shall we?”
Alice let out a mocking smile and said, “I just wanted to tell him not to flaunt himself based on a few women’s influences. It’s useless!
“Robin, you have been relying on the wealth and status of women for an extended period, and I continue to hold you in contempt.
“Those are ultimately not your abilities or your family background.
“Without them, you’re just a nobody!
“With the background of my family, how could we ever have our eyes on a bottom–tier man like you?

If their minor disagreement with Robin infuriated the Wrights, it would undoubtedly result in the Millers” expulsion from the event.
The consequences could potentially be devastating for their family.
“Alice, have you seen Mr. Underwood? He just called and said he’s outside the resort,” Hank said as he approached, his steps shaky.
Alice saw an opportunity to slip away. She turned to Hank and said, “Grandpa, I haven’t met Mr. Underwood. Come over here for a moment.”
She gestured toward Robin and introduced, “This is Robin, the one I broke off my engagement with.”
Hank looked Robin up and down, chuckling lightly. “Oh, you’re still in Harmonfield? Well, Robin, it seems my Alice doesn’t fancy you, so there’s nothing to be done about that.”
He continued, “The engagement your grandfather and I arranged was merely a youthful whim. Don’t take it too seriously.
“If you’re having any trouble in Harmonfield, you’re welcome to come find me,” he added.
“I heard from Alice some time ago that you still haven’t moved on from her.
“That’s understandable, he said with a knowing nod.
“Alice is both beautiful and talented. You must be somewhat tempted by my family’s modest fortune.
“I can guess your thoughts; marrying Alice would shortcut you several decades of hard work, letting you step into high society.
“However, such things can’t be forced,” he continued.
“It’s alright. Although Alice hasn’t taken an interest in you, if you need some money, I can lend you a couple of thousand. That’s something I can help with
“You’ve seen it yourself, my grandson–in–law, Zachary, his family is quite well–off in Harmonfield. You’ll never catch up with him in this lifetime.
“As Alice said, if you truly like her, you should bless them.
“Just work hard, young man. Maybe in a few years, you’ll build your own career, and then you could be earning 3,000 to 5,000 a month. You wouldn’t need my help then.”
Robin regarded Hank, who seemed a bit out of touch. He simply smiled and prepared to walk away.
Alice stepped in front of him, blocking his path. “Hold on! My grandpa is talking to you; why aren’t you saying anything? Robin, hurry up and address him.”

Robin laughed lightly. “He’s your grandfather; why should I address him? Who on earth does he think he

Hank was momentarily taken aback. “Hey, kid, back in the day, your grandfather and I were good friends!”
Robin replied with a grin. “My grandpa is blind?”
“How can you say that about your grandpa?” Hank exclaimed, indignant..
“I say he’s blind because he sees a beast as a human being. Robin retorted.
“If I meet him again, I would certainly ask how he could mistake a beast for a person!”
Hank trembled with rage. “Y–y–you’re insulting me?”
“I’m not insulting you; I just want to say that there are many people in this world who are even worse than a beast!
Alice jumped in front of Robin and chided, “Robin, how could you be so rude? How can you insult my grandpa?”
With a sharp slap, Rita struck Alice across the face.
“Alice, I’ve warned you before. Disrespect Mr. Ramsey again, and I’ll kill you!
“If it weren’t we’re attending a banquet today, just for that insult to Mr. Ramsey, Ms. West kill you but also ensure your family disappears from Harmonfield forever!”

Daphne cast a cold glance at Hank and Alice, her voice icy. “Rita is right! Hank, do you really think I lack the power to do so?”
Hank hesitated, snorted in frustration, and turned to leave.
Alice and Zachary fell silent, following Hank inside.
“Mr. Underwood!” Hank raised his head and saw Calvin, the president of the Harmonfield’s Holistic Medicine Association. He approached Calvin unsteadily
“Hello, Mr. Underwood! I was looking for you.”
Calvin said with a smile, nodding, “Hank, how have you been feeling over the last few days!”
Hank coughed a few times and said, “After drinking Tilamisa herbal soup. I feel much better than before.
“At first, the soup kept me in excellent condition for a full 24 hours,” he added.
“But now, as keep drinking it, the hours of comfort seem to be shrinking. I can only maintain it for about six or seven hours a day now.”
Calvin frowned and said, “Hank, to be honest, this remedy can only temporarily stabilize your health; it won’t cause any immediate complications. But over time, it will lose its effectiveness against your ailments.

Robin was the revered figure that President Lennon of the Holistic Medicine and Health Association looked up to.
Could it be the same Robin?
It took Hank a moment to gather his thoughts.
He recalled that Robin’s grandfather, Elvis Ramsey, did indeed have some medical knowledge.
Years ago, he had warned Hank about a potential health issue lurking within him.
At the time, it seemed like nothing to worry about.
However, as he aged, his body’s functions began to decane, and that hidden danger slowly emerged.
If left unchecked, it would be irreparable.
Only Elvis could heal this ailment; no one else would be able to.
When Elvis mentioned it, Hank didn’t pay it any attention and brushed it off as casual talk.
Five years ago, the issue erupted into reality.
Regrettably, Elvis had already left Harmonfield long ago. There had been no word of him.
After consulting various doctors from both home and abroad, all of them declared it untreatable.
Every physician had concluded that he had no more than six years left to live.
Now, five years had passed. His health had deteriorated further, plagued by sleepless nights and restless days.
Calvin had taken his pulse and told him that his time was running short.
Unless a miracle occurred–a true miracle doctor appeared–there would be no escaping death’s grip.
Rumor had it that Master Ramsey had saved Martin and Timothy, both of whom had been on the brink of death.
If he could achieve such feats, surely he could cure Hank’s illness as well.
But the thought that this miracle doctor could be Robin was simply unacceptable to Hank.
After taking a moment to ponder, he dismissed it outright.
If Robin truly had such abilities, both the Wrights and the Dunns would surely treat him as a distinguished
guest

The seating arrangement for this event should have at least placed Robin on the second floor or higher.
With his brow furrowed, Hank wrestled with these thoughts.
He quickly walked over to the seating arrangement board at the front of the banquet hall.
The board was densely packed with names, detailing the seats of the prominent families and key members of Harmonfield.
Hank meticulously searched for Robin’s name.
He scoured the lists from the first floor to the second, going back and forth three times without finding anything.
“Grandpa, what are you looking for?” Alice and Zachary approached him.
“Our family is seated in the middle of the first floor; your name is right there, Grandpa, Alice continued, pointing.
“The Gills are on the second floor. I’m sitting there as Zachary’s fiancée. Look, here are our names.”
Ignoring her, Hank continued to search among the names, looking for those two he desperately hoped to avoid.
After some time, he was still unable to locate it.
Worried that his old eyes might be failing him, he pointed at the board and asked, “Alice, ca
Robin’s name is up there?”
Alice blinked in confusion and asked, “What did you say. Grandpa
“Anyone with a seat at the banquet today must have family background and social standing. The seating areas at this banquet are strictly organized by rank. There are four categories of attendees: military, political, business, and a few from underground circles
“The military and political guests hold high status. In the business sector, only families worth millions are granted seats. And in terms of underground attendees, only the powerful leader of the Luminous Order has the right to enter the banquet.
“Who the hell is Robin?” Alice scoffed. “He’s a nobody, without status or a respectable family background. How could he possibly be on this seating list? Even though Shirley assigned him the title of president, he remains an employee.”
“Could you check again? Are you sure he’s not up there Hank pressed, still feeling uneasy.
Alice reluctantly searched through the names again, moving from the first floor to the second and then to the third, reading out each name but still finding no trace of Robin.
Upon verifying for the second time that Robin’s name was indeed missing, she exhaled with a sense of
relief.
Just moments ago, she had genuinely worried he might be listed.
That was something she couldn’t accept. In her heart, anyone she had discarded must not be allowed to

thrive.
She would only find satisfaction if Robin endured even more suffering following their broken engagement. That was the outcome she craved.
“Hahahal” Alice’s excitement bubbled over.
“Grandpa, you’ve got it all wrong. What kind of status does Robin have? He’s just a lowlife; there’s no way he could ever make it onto the banquet’s seating list.”
Hank exhaled deeply at her words, feeling a wave of relief wash over him. “Well, now I can relax! What a false alarm!
“Honestly, considering his background, he could never be considered a godlike expert.
“If that were the case, I’d rather be an old old dog! Hahaha!“
Hank chuckled to himself.
The banter between the grandfather and granddaughter puzzled Calvin. He finally asked, “Hank, do you know Master Ramsey?”
