Robin’s laugh was cold and sharp.
“A noble betrayal? That’s what you think about it? No wonder Alice turned out like she did. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
Hank shook his head, his eyes narrowing. “I’ll allow you to insult me, because you don’t understand the world, Robin, People like you … Well, their minds twist things.”
Robin leaned back, smirking. “This is ing. Go on, Hank. I want to see just how low you’re willing to

Without waiting for an answer, Hank continued, his tone suddenly serious, “I’m doing this to keep your grandfather’s name clean, Robin.
“If people around here think your grandfather lent me that 150 grand to climb the Millers‘ ladder, how would that make him look? Shameful, don’t you think?
Hank held Robin’s gaze. “The Millers don’t bow for profit, Robin. Not ever.
“You’ve seen it yourself. Alice has connections, a name, beauty, and intelligence. And most important, she has me–a rich, powerful grandfather. Tell me, in what world could you match her?
“Face it, Robin. Forget–trying to be rich. Try to be useful instead. You’ll feel better once you accept

“Everyone knows the Millers broke off your engagement. If you stick around for Alice and Zachary’s party, that’ll hurt more than any slap.”
Robin’s laugh was light, dismissive. “Their engagement means nothing to me.”
He pulled out his phone, scrolling to Logan’s number, ready to kick the crowd out. Just then, Vera rushed
over.
“Robin, hold on a second!”
Robin’s face darkened. “I’d appreciate it if you can stop starting stupid sh*t for me, Vera.
“You dragged this pile of dingleberries into my house for what? Got nothing better to do?”
She shrank back under his icy glare, her head lowering “I’m sorry, Robin. I should’ve told you first. Just.. let me explain.”
“There’s nothing to explain. Get them out. Now.”
A crowd of curious onlookers–B–listers families and gossip–hungry reporters–watched in astonishment as Vera, the new head of the Silva Group, faced Robin with a tremble in her voice.
Whispers ran through the assembly like wildfire.

“Isn’t Ms. Silva worth millions?” one of them muttered. She’s way above the Millers‘ league.
“So why is she acting this way with Robin?
“What’s the story here?

Vera’s voice broke as she spoke, her eye
locked on Robin. “Robin, I… I couldn’t stand watching Alice and
her family keep tearing you down. It infuriates me.
“I know Alice was my friend once… but seeing how she treats you, it makes me sick. I want to shake her and make her see the truth.
“This whole thing… I did it to prove to her that she’s wrong about you.
“Robin, you’re the most important person in my life. You helped me, lifted me up when I was at my worst. I can’t stand by and let anyone mock you. Alice needs to see that you’re someone she and her family will never be able to reach.”
The crowd listened, bewildered, while the reporters‘ eyes lit up, catching every word like vultures on a fresh carcass.
“What’s going on between them?”
“Vera seems to really admire Robin … but why?”
“Are they together?”
“This is going to be huge. Get a camera on them, now!”
From the side, Alice let out a loud laugh, silencing the whispers.
“Vera, is this a us? Do you think we’ll believe it?”

Vera glanced at Alice, her smile sharp with mockery. She felt the bitter weight of it, but she took a breath and spoke anyway. “Alice,” she began, her voice steady. I’m not lying to you.
“I borrowed Robin’s villa so you’d see what you let slip away–a man who stands on his own, unshaken.
“You’ve always claimed you and Robin live in different worlds.”
Vera nodded. “You’re right about that. But his world… it’s far above anything you can imagine.
“Just yesterday, Robin ended both the Landers and the Hamiltons. One’s in Brookhaven, and the other’s in Harmonfield. Do you think your family could stand a chance against him?”

A bitter laugh escaped her. “Robin could bring down your entire clan just as quickly. He wouldn’t need to lift a single blade–one word, and allies beyond your wildest dreams would make sure of it. Abyssal Dominion and Ms. West, for example.
“But he doesn’t bother with you. You think he’s spared you out of mercy?
“He’s done it because once, there was an engagement between you.
“And I loaned you his villa, without him knowing. He didn’t come here today for your engagement either.”
Alice rolled her eyes and let out a loud, sarcastic laugh. “Vera, if you’re so good at spinning tales, maybe you should be an actress! You’d be a hit!”
She tossed her hair, her smirk widening. “But today’s about me and Zachary. Let’s leave your little stories behind. I’d marry a pig before I’d marry Robin!”

“What? Robin took down the Landers, the fifth–strongest family in Brookhaven, and bankrupted the Hamiltons of Harmonfield?”
“Just last night, 50 companies that partnered with the Dunns in Eastvale, all spurred on by Liam, turned against them at the Wrights‘ grand feast.”
“But the Dunns had help–a powerful ally and the Phoenix Vanguard at their side. They squashed the Hamiltons‘ scheme, securing their place as the top family in Harmonfield.”
“And from the way Ms. Silva speaks… could it be that Robin is this mystery backer?”
The crowd of reporters perked up, eyes glinting with newfound excitement.
At that moment, Zachary and Alice’s engagement seemed small, like a side tale in the shadow of something far greater.
Robin was the story now.
It didn’t take long before news of the Millers‘ engagement took over every platform, with new twists spiraling by the second:
“The man once promised to Ms. Miller crashes her engagement to shake up her world.”
“The unknown force behind the fall of the Landers and the ruin of the Hamiltons makes an appearance at Villa One!”
Before long, footage of Alice, Hank, and the Miller family mocking Robin outside the villa was streaming online, stirring a storm of reactions:
“A nobody trying to claw his way into the Millers‘ life? That’s bold!”
“Why can’t he make his own way instead of chasing after a wealthy family?”
“He’s the worst kind, looking for someone else to carry him. Some people just don’t want to work for their
own success.”
“Plenty of folks like him around. They’d rather latch onto the rich than build their own legacy.
“Though, I heard this Robin might be dating the Dunn family’s heiress.
“Rumor has it he’s got some powerful connections, maybe more than we know.
“Sure, I’ll believe it when I see it.”
“If Robin’s some great, hidden power, why waste time crashing Ms. Miller’s engagement?
“And what’s with this obsession? If he’s so mighty, why follow her around like a lost pup?
“Are you sure it’s him? Look at the man in the video. That’s not someone who’s here for trouble.

“In Dawnspire Heights, the streets are filled with cars worth more money than we’ll ever see. And yet, here comes Robin in a humble, worn–out vehicle, far from what you’d expect of a big shot.
“Meanwhile, Ms. Miller has claimed the grand Villa One for her engagement feast. That’s a first in Harmonfield. It’ll lift the Millers higher than they’ve ever flown.
“That alone proves Robin isn’t the man the rumors claim.
“And besides, could someone wielding that kind of power be this young? Never heard of such a tale.”
By now, the whispers about Robin, Alice, and Villa One spread like wildfire across the land, finding eager ears in every room.
Meanwhile, in her chamber at Vista Lake Villa, Shirley rose late, savoring the breakfast Robin had left her.
Her trance was broken by the chime of her phone as Amber’s voice echoed in her ear.
“Ms. Dunn, have you heard the news?”
Shirley took another bite of her doughnut, her voice calm. “I tend to avoid it. What’s happened?”
“You might care about this one. The Millers are stirring up trouble for Mr. Ramsey again. It’s become the talk of the nation!”
Shirley’s brow furrowed as she set her food aside, her fingers tracing the edges of the device as she opened TikTok.
Her gaze turned icy as she watched the clips, read the spreading gossip.
Robin… What led him to that gathering?
The Millers meant nothing, less than nothing to him-
Alice was nothing. She was a shadow, a speck in the great scheme of things.
Who do they think they are, insulting my family’s honored guest?
Robin is mine. The man I, Shirley, had chosen.
No one would dishonor him, not the Millers, not anyone.
Shirley picked up her phone, her fingers trembling with rage. She called Drake immediately and told him about the event at Villa One.
Drake’s voice was thick with anger. “Carlos, gather every bodyguard we have. We’re going to Villa One. The Millers will pay for this, for what they’ve done to Mr. Ramsey.
“Just one word from Mr. Ramsey, and I’ll wipe the Millers and the Gills off the map.”

Shirley barely finished her breakfast.
She jumped to her feet, grabbed her keys, and raced toward Dawnspire Heights Estates.
Meanwhile, in Area Two of the same estate, Daphne lay back in her bed, lost in thought.
She remembered the first time she had met Robin. The way he looked, the way he made her feel.
Her face softened, a faint blush creeping up her checks.
“Ms. West, there’s trouble coming for Mr. Ramsey,” Rita said, walking into the room.
Daphne’s eyes snapped open. She shot up, her heart already racing. “What’s going on?”

Rita held out her phone, showing her the news–the Millers‘ engagement, the scenes from Villa One, the rumors swirling around Robin.
Daphne’s lips curled into a dark smile.
“Mr. Ramsey has been patient–too patient. But this ends now. The Millers have no idea who they’re messing with.
“He saved my life. I won’t let that vile woman, humiliate him.
“Today, I’ll make them regret it.
“Rita, get Rowan. We’re going to Villa One.”
At the gates of Villa One, Alice and her family stood firm, blocking the entrance.
“Robin, you’re wasting your time. Today’s my daughter’s engagement. If you don’t leave, the Millers will break your legs.”
Julie’s finger jabbed toward Robin, her eyes cold like ice. “You won’t make a mess here,” she warned.

Robin stood at the edge of the crowd, disgust twisting his face as he watched the Millers.
If not for Old Fred’s warning, he would’ve already swept these people away from his life.
Fred had told him about the engagement, the one his grandfather had arranged with the Millers.
Robin hated it.
“Alice, the time is right. Let’s start the ceremony,” Zachary said, his arm slipping around Alice’s waist as they approached the door. His smile was smug.
Alice gave a fake smile, playing the part of the loving fiancée. “Mm–hmm, Darling. Let’s go.”
She took a step forward, then turned back, waving at Vera and Robin. “Robin, you can wait outside. From there, you’ll still catch a glimpse of me and Zachary on our engagement stage.”
She raised an eyebrow at Vera. “So, Vera, are you coming with me? Or are you staying here with him, pretending he’s somehow winning my heart?”
Vera’s shoulders slumped. “Go on. I wish you both well.”
She turned to Robin, her face full of guilt. “Robin, did I go too far?”
Robin nodded, his voice cold. “Yes, you did.”
Vera sighed, trying to explain herself. “I just wanted Alice and the Millers to see who you really are.”
“I don’t need to prove myself to them.
“They can believe whatever they want. It doesn’t matter.”
Just then, his phone buzzed. It was Freya.
“Robin, the top brass from Special Operations are here. Hunter Baxter, the Lieutenant General Commander, and Caleb Walker, the Lieutenant General Chief of Staff, have arrived in Harmonfield.
“Since we’re short on time, we’ll hold the commissioning ceremony at your location.
“Where are you? Send your coordinates. We’ll be there soon. The officers want to do the honors in person.”
Robin quickly texted Freya the location of Villa One.
“Got it. We’ll be the
in 30 minutes,” Freya said before hanging up.
Inside the villa’s courtyard, Alice and Zachary’s engagement ceremony had begun.
Alice, her arm linked with her father Jeffrey’s and mother Julie’s, walked toward the Gill family.
The Gill couple, Zachary, and the Millers all bowed to one another, exchanging polite smiles.
Don grinned widely, his voice full of cheer. “Mr. Miller, we’re family now!

He smiled again, looking at Mr. Miller. “I propose we hold a formal wedding in a month. Let the kids start their new life together right away.”
Jeffrey and Julie exchanged smiles. “We agree, Mr. Gill they said in unison.
“We’re both glad that Alice is marrying Zachary. We’ll follow the date you suggested for their engagement ceremony.”
As the music filled the air, the host took his place.
He announced that the couple would now exchange rings and speak their vows, promising a future together.
Zachary took Alice’s hand. Together, they walked down the red carpet, surrounded by the cheers of family and friends.
But Alice’s gaze was not on them. It shifted toward the entrance of the villa, where Robin still stood.
Her eyes glowed with a mixture of pride and disdain.
Robin, you’ll watch me walk into the engagement hall with someone better than you.
You’ll see your heart break, knowing I am the one you can never have.
A strange thrill washed over Alice, a feeling she had never experienced before.
Just knowing Robin’s discomfort brought a twisted satisfaction.
Without thinking, she kissed Zachary’s cheek and turned her head to look at Robin, her eyes filled with mockery.
The cameras caught every moment, her laughter spreading across the internet.
Elsewhere, Shirley drove with a fierce focus.
She stared at the video on her phone, watching Alice’s smug face.
Anger flared inside her.
How dare a small family like the Millers insult the Dunns‘ guest of honor!
They would pay for this.
Robin would not be disrespected. She would destroy the Millers.
Back at Villa One, the ceremony concluded smoothly.

She promised it would be a grand event, with more guests, sharing the splendor and joy of the occasion.
Alice moved with the grace of someone who had always been given everything she wanted. She walked arm in arm with Zachary, her steps deliberate, every movement soaked in pride as they approached Robin. Her eyes gleamed with satisfaction.
“Robin,” she said, her words cold and final. “From this moment, I’m Mrs. Gill. Forget about me.
“Did you see that? This life, the one I live, it’s beyond your reach.
“Have you ever thought about your future? Do you really think a poor woman could ever have a wedding like this?
“Will your wedding ever have this kind of grandeur? Will it have the important families of Harmonfield gathered to honor you?”
She laughed, the sound bitter and sharp. “You can never imagine it. But I can live it.
“Robin, it’s time you realized something. I’m the woman you’ll never touch.
“And now, you’ll see your worst nightmare unfold. The one thing that will destroy you.”
She leaned in closer, her grin growing wider. “I hope this ‘therapy‘ works. I hope it breaks you as much as I want it to.”
Without warning, the sharp sound of a slap filled the air.
Alice stumbled, her hand clutching at Zachary for support.
“You vile woman.” Rita’s voice cut through the tension. “Who do you think you are, speaking like that to Mr. Ramsey?”
And then, Rita slapped Alice again.

Rita’s slap knocked Alice back, her feet stumbling as she barely kept her balance. The crowd fell into an uneasy silence, unsure of what had just happened.
The cameras were quick to catch the moment, zooming in on the scene–Rita and Alice, locked in a fierce confrontation.
The Millers, standing there, were completely lost.
What was this? Why would she slap Alice, the main woman, right when she walked in?
Julie snapped out of her shock.
She marched toward Rita, eyes blazing with anger. “What do you think you’re doing? Why are you hitting my daughter?”
Rita’s sneer was sharp. “Does it need a reason? She insulted Mr. Ramsey. I’ll slap her every time I see her.”
Julie’s face turned red. “You … You’re just a poor woman who’s friends with Robin, aren’t you?” She spat the words through gritted teeth.
Rita didn’t hesitate. Her hand collided with Julie’s face with a force that echoed through the courtyard. “Say that again, and I’ll cut your throat.”
Julie froze, her body stiff with fear. The cold rage in Rita’s eyes was enough to make her quiet.
That look could have stopped anyone in their tracks.
Hannah, furious, stepped in. “What kind of woman are you? Didn’t your mother tell you that you don’t just hit people without warning? Where did you come from?”
Rita’s slap was so sudden and violent that Hannah crashed to the ground.
Rita towered over her. “I came from the depths of Hell, that’s where.”
She didn’t stop. One slap after another, she struck, leaving the Millers and the reporters stunned, their eyes wide in disbelief.
Who was this woman?
So ruthless, so fast to act without care.
Is she with Robin? They’re a couple?
Jeffrey’s face turned crimson. “Mr. Chris! Do something! Teach this woman a lesson!”
Mr. Chris, the Millers‘ butler, knew Rita but didn’t dare intervene. He leaned in, his voice barely a whisper. “Mr. Miller, this is Ms. West’s maid.”
Before anyone could react, Daphne appeared, stepping forward. “Rita, slap him!”
Rita turned, her eyes full of fire, and slapped Jeffrey across the face without a second thought.

Jeffrey hit the floor, his hand pressed hard against his burning check. He looked up at Daphne with wide, shocked eyes. Her stare was like ice. He couldn’t look away.
Mr. Chris, the butler, twitched slightly, his face darkening. “Ms. West, why did you strike them?”
Daphne’s smile was cold. “What’s wrong with it? They deserved it. Do you have a problem with it?”
Mr. Chris glanced at Rowan, standing just behind Daphine. He quickly turned away. He didn’t dare to
move.
The room grew silent. Everyone held their breath.
Daphne’s presence filled the space.
She wasn’t just beautiful–there was a power to her. A danger.
Even Harmonfield’s underground kingpin, Rygar, would step back if he faced her.
No one had expected to be so close to The Enchanting Queen.
But the question on everyone’s mind was why she had struck the Millers.
Challenging Daphne was something no one did lightly in this city.
Hank’s face twitched.
His anger boiled, but fear also crept in. He could feel it, thick and cold.
He took a step forward, his voice shaking. “Ms. West, I don’t know what Alice did to upset you, but why did your maid have to strike her?”
Daphne laughed, low and mocking. “What, you’re going to stop me? Is that what your family is planning to do? Fight me?”
Hank froze. Her words were sharp, dismissive. They cut deep.
“Ms. West,” he said slowly, trying to control his shaking hands. “I know your power. But don’t you worry what people will say about you? That you use your strength to push around the weak?”
Daphne’s smile turned darker. She narrowed her eyes and lifted her lashes. “So what if I do? What are you going to do about it?”
The room seemed to grow colder. A chill swept through the air, making everyone shiver.
Hank instinctively stepped back. His skin crawled under the weight of her stare.
Alice, her cheek still throbbing, turned to Daphne. “Ms. West … I’ve always looked up to you. I’ve always wanted to be like you.”
“Shut up!” Daphne’s voice cut through the air like a blade. “Don’t even try. You’ll never be like me!”
Without another word, Daphne dropped to one knee in front of Robin. Her head bowed. “My lord,” she said in a voice that dripped with authority. “Just say the word, and I will have the entire Miller family destroyed.”

Even without lifting a sword, Daphne’s words were like a freezing wind cutting through the crowd.
Alice took a step back, her heart pounding.
But what shocked her the most wasn’t the coldness in Daphne’s words.
It was the sight of Daphne–who she had once idolized–kneeling before Robin, like a servant, with complete submission.
What is going on?
Robin waved a hand, his face showing clear impatience. “Let them go. I don’t want these fools making a mess in my house.”
Daphne opened her mouth, as if to speak, but stopped herself. She knew better than to argue with Robin.
There was always a reason for his commands, even if it wasn’t obvious at first.
“Of course, Master,” she said, her voice calm, almost reverent.
The room fell into a stunned silence.
Daphne, the so–called Enchanting Queen of Harmonfield, was bowing before Robin, speaking to him as if he were a king.
The Millers had gotten him all wrong. Robin was no common man. He was something much more.
Daphne, the woman they could only dream of reaching, was showing him respect.
It was a sight none of them could have imagined.
Alice, who had once looked down on him, had no idea who she was dealing with.
Was she truly so foolish?
Had the Millers really been so blind?
Suddenly, the crowd shifted.
People stepped aside, parting like the sea for someone approaching.
A woman, tall and poised, moved through the guests. She moved like a queen, her presence impossible to ignore.
It was Shirley Dunn, the most beautiful woman in Harmonfield and the daughter of the powerful Dunn family.
What is she doing here? Why has she come?

Two of Harmonfield’s most captivating women were here, standing together–an unimaginable sight for
most.
The sons and daughters of the city’s highest families watched in stunned silence.
It was the first time many had seen the frozen beauty of Harmonfield’s most famous woman up
close.
Her beauty was beyond measure, like nothing from this world. She was like a rare flower, delicate and perfect, her presence enough to make the sun jealous.
Shirley Dunn, the firstborn of the powerful Dunn family, seemed like something carved from the heavens.
The reporters, struck dumb by her elegance, forgot their work, their cameras still as they stared at her as if she were a vision.
Awoman like her belonged to the heavens. She was so flawless that it made those around her feel small and insignificant.
The crowd was frozen, their gaze locked on Shirley, who seemed to draw every eye, every breath.
With each step she took, the air itself seemed to tremble.
When she reached Robin, she slipped her arm through his, her eyes soft with tenderness.
“Robin,” she said quietly, her voice thick with feeling. “I can’t just stand here and watch you suffer because of this worthless woman.”
She looked deep into his eyes, her gaze intense, almost lost. “From the moment you saved me, I knew. You are the only man for me.
“I know you don’t want to deal with the Millers. But don’t worry, I’ll make them regret their arrogance.”
She smiled at him, a smile so gentle it could warm even the coldest heart.
That smile–it was as if the world itself had paused to admire her.
The crowd stood still, mesmerized by the power of her presence.
Is Shirley declaring her love for Robin in front of everyone?
She had just claimed that he was the only man for her.

Shirley had everything–beauty, talent, status, and now, it seemed, the perfect love.
How they longed to have a life like hers.
But just as quickly, Shirley’s smile faded, her warmth replaced by cold resolve.
She surveyed the Millers and the other guests with a look that made everyone pause. “Robin is mine,” she said, her voice sharp. “He is not someone who will be humiliated by the likes of you.
“He is my fiancé, and the largest shareholder in the Dunn Group.
“The Dunn Group doesn’t belong to my family,” she continued. “It belongs to Robin.”
With that, she walked toward Alice, her steps measured.
Shirley, towering over Alice, fixed her with a look that carried years of disdain. “I must ask,” she said slowly. “What makes you think you have the right to say Robin can’t have you?”
With a loud slap, Shirley’s hand struck Alice across the face.
Pathetic!
“Robin could erase your family with a single command. The only reason he doesn’t is because you’re beneath him.
“What did you think?
“Do you think Robin fears you? That he needs something from you?
“You’re all fools.
“Your family has insulted him time and time again. Robin doesn’t care enough to deal with you himself, but we-” She gestured toward herself and the Dunn family. “We’ll take care of it.”
The crowd held their breath.
Shirley had just claimed Robin as her fiancé and promised to bring down the Millers for him.
The Millers had hit a wall.
Two of the most powerful women in Harmonfield stood by Robin’s side one as his partner, the other as
his servant.
The Millers had no idea what they had just unleashed.
Two colossal families, with power enough to crush them, were ready to act.
Did the Millers really think they could take on someone like Robin?
It seemed they’d made a grave mistake.
In the grand halls of Harmonfield, there were few men who could command the attention of both Daphng

and Shirley.
But the Millers? They had dared to call him a nobody and a street rat.
It was almost laughable, how blind they were.

Shirley’s eyes flicked over to Alice, full of contempt, then swept across the crowd. “Look at me. How does my beauty compare to Alice’s? And as for power, how do the Dunns stand against the Miller family?
“How could a worthless woman like her dare claim Robin couldn’t reach her? Only someone who has lost their mind could think that way.”
The room hummed with disbelief.
There was no contest.
Alice might have had a little charm, but next to Shirley, she was nothing. Shirley’s beauty was beyond compare, like something forged by the gods themselves.
As for the Millers? Their power was nothing next to the Dunns.
One was an insect, the other a beast.
The Dunns could crush them like a bug beneath their heel.
The Millers stayed silent. They had no choice. This wasn’t a matter of pride; it was a matter of survival.
Hank’s face reddened with fury.
Shirley had not only insulted them but done so in front of all the important families and the media. She had reduced the Millers to nothing more than trash.
It stung, deeply.
Even though the Millers could never match the Dunns, the humiliation of being openly scorned was unbearable.
Hank stepped forward, his voice tight with barely controlled anger. “Ms. Dunn, I know your family is powerful. I know you rule this city. But there’s no need to humiliate my family in front of everyone. That is arrogance”
Shirley didn’t flinch. Her gaze was like ice. “Arrogance?” she repeated, her voice sharp as a blade. “What’s wrong with putting you and your family in your place?

Shirley was not someone people saw often. She rarely showed up in public, and when she did, she never spoke to the press.
To the people of Harmonfield, she was an image of cold beauty, a quiet heiress of the Dunn family, whose wealth and power were only whispered about.
But no one had ever heard her speak like this before.
Her voice was sharp, cutting through the silence. “Arrogant? What does it matter if I insult your family?”
And she was right.
The Dunns were a giant in Harmonfield, and the Millers? They were nothing. It was like watching someone crush a bug beneath their heel.
For the first time, the Millers saw the full weight of Shirley’s authority.
She was not just some spoiled child.
She was the head of Dunn Group, the most powerful company in the city.
Her words held the force of an entire empire behind them.
Hank felt a cold sweat trickle down his back.
For a moment, he froze. But then, years of experience helped him regain his composure.
He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and stepped forward. “Fine, Ms. Dunn. If that’s what you want, I won’t argue.”
He paused, his gaze shifting around the room. “But, before you act, hear me out.
“You might not fully understand what’s happening here.
“Even your grandfather would listen to me before jumping to conclusions,” he added.
The reporters shifted, their attention now on him. Hank nodded to them. “What do you all think?”
They were all watching now. Hank continued, eyes locked on Shirley.
“Ms. Dunn, since you arrived, you’ve been quick to accuse the Millers of mistreating Robin. But you’ve misunderstood us completely.
“My granddaughter, Alice, was once engaged to Robin, but that was a long time ago.

“I’ve said it publicly, many times, that marriage contract was just a joke between Robin’s grandfather and me when we were young. It was never meant to be taken seriously.

“We were foolish back then. Alice and Robin weren’t even born when we made that deal. It was nothing but a foolish promise.
“Time has passed. Things have changed. That contract means nothing now.
“Robin’s grandfather had no real power. He’s been gone for years.
“And why would my granddaughter, with her status, marry a man with no family or connections like Robin?
“But, despite all of this, I’ve heard Robin’s been following Alice around, causing trouble ever since they broke off the engagement.
“Today, Alice is marrying Mr. Gill. And now, Robin shows up here, angry and desperate. He tried to raise hell, and instead this mess was made.
“Yet all of you try to push Alice and my family around. That is just unreasonable.”
Hank shifted his attention to the camera and put on a victimized look. “I just want to ask you all, in front of everyone here: What have we, the Millers, done wrong?
“Is power really all that matters?”
Hank knew how to spin the situation to his favor. He quickly played the victim, hoping to turn the tide.
As the whispers and looks passed between the prominent families of Harmonfield and the gathered reporters, he let a sly smile creep onto his face.
Shirley, you’re still learning. You don’t understand how to play this game yet.
Though he appeared weak in front of the Dunns, Hank was no fool.
He knew how to work the crowd, to bend the pressure in his direction.
The Dunns might hold the power, but no amount of wealth could shield them from the opinions of the people.
Shirley watched Hank, her expression growing colder with each passing moment.
Desperation is what the desperate cling to, she thought, unimpressed by his theatrics.
Hank took a deep breath and sighed. He was playing his part. “Ms. Dunn,” he began, his voice steady, “now that you know the truth, don’t you think it’s time to apologize to Alice?”
The words had barely left his mouth when a loud slap rang out.
Hank stumbled backward, the force of Drake’s blow knocking him off balance.
“Apologize to your worthless spawn?” Drake growled. “Have you lost your mind?”
Drake’s eyes were sharp and cold as he continued, his voice dripping with disdain, “Hank, don’t think you can fool us. You’re making a big mistake.
“I’m here to make sure Mr. Ramsey gets his due,” Drake said, his tone low and dangerous.

“Mr. Ramsey cut all ties with you trash a long time ago, yet you keep pushing him. What are we, chopped liver?”
Drake’s voice thundered in the room, “Today, in front of Harmonfield’s most desired, I will make sure you learn your place.”
Drake turned to Robin, bowing slightly. “Mr. Ramsey, may I destroy the Millers now?”
Robin nodded without hesitation. “Do as you wish.”
The room fell into stunned silence.
Drake’s anger was palpable, a storm ready to break.
His presence seemed to freeze the air, and everyone felt the weight of it.
Hank stood frozen, unsure of what to do next.
He had never expected Drake to take such extreme action.
“Carlos!” Drake barked, his eyes narrowed in fury. “Use the full power of the Dunns to crush everything the Millers have. I want them destroyed.”
Carlos, quick as ever, grabbed his phone and dialed without missing a beat. “Yes, Mr. Dunn Sr.!”
Hank sank to his knees, his heart pounding in his chest.
He stared at Drake, who seemed like a predator ready to pounce, and realized just how much power the Dunns still held.
Could this be the end of the Millers?
No, Hank refused to accept it.
He had spent his life building the Millers from nothing
He had fought for everything, and he wouldn’t watch it crumble at the hands of the Dunns.
With a grunt, Hank forced himself to his feet, tears threatening to spill as he turned to face the reporters.
“The Dunns are using their power to destroy us, and I won’t stand by and let it happen!” he cried.

The young heirs and daughters of Harmonfield’s richest families watched from the sidelines, eyes wide and mouths shut.
None of them dared to speak against the Dunns.
But Hank’s display of emotion was enough to make them hesitate, a flicker of sympathy stirring within them.
The reporters, always on the lookout for the next big story, took full advantage.
Their cameras flashed, capturing Hank’s every tear and desperate plea. His words spread quickly across the city, live on every screen.
Soon, the online world erupted. Those who only saw the moment, not the full story, flooded the
comments.
“Poor Mr. Miller. How can someone his age go through such pain?”
“What did you expect? The strong always win. The Dunns have the power, they always get their way
“Drake said it himself. He’s crushing them today. What can anyone do?”
“But this is too much. The Dunns are cruel and cold. This isn’t how anyone should behave.”
“Someone should stop them. No one should get away with this violence.”

Con Outrage spread faster than wildfire.
Hank watched it all unfold. The crowd’s anger was like a tide, and he knew how to use it. He pressed on, feeling the weight of their support. The louder he got, the more the crowd’s sentiment swayed in his favor.
If the public kept this up, the Dunns‘ empire might crumble under the pressure.

Vera stepped forward quickly, a sharp look in her eyes. “Hank, you’ve got it all wrong!
“This Villa One–it’s really Robin’s!”
Vera’s words instantly drew the attention of the cameras. All eyes turned to her.
“Alice came to me a few days ago, asking for help to borrow Villa One,” Vera started.
“I told her it was Robin’s, but no matter how much I tried to explain, she wouldn’t believe me.
“I helped you get the villa, but I did it without telling Robin.
“Robin didn’t come here today to stir up trouble at your engagement,” Vera continued.

“You keep insulting him, calling him worthless. And yet, you’re too blind to see what’s right in front of you.
“Look around, Alice. The smartest, most respected, and most beautiful women in Harmonfield–Ms. West and Ms. Dunn–they both show him nothing but respect.
“How do you, with all your so–called status, have the nerve to look down on him?
“You’ve insulted him again and again. Are you really so lost that you can’t see how foolish you sound?
“Alice, deep down, you must know the truth. But you refuse to admit it.
“You’ve convinced yourself that the man you rejected could never be that good. And worse, you’re terrified that he actually is.
“You can’t stand to see Robin rise higher than you.
“You want him to fail. You want him to fall, so you can stand over him, look down, mock him, pity him- anything to feel superior.
“But that’s all just a pathetic fantasy in your
mind.
“Robin is the man you’ll never be able to reach.
“You’ve always said he’s not on your level. And you were right.
“His level is beyond your wildest imagination.
“Every time you see something good in him, you only feel hatred. You keep putting him down, over and
over.
“You still think he’s obsessed with you, don’t you?” Vera continued.
“Look around. The women who are close to Robin–none of them are like you. They’re better.
“Robin’s no fool. He doesn’t obsess over you, and yet you act like he can’t live without you. It’s ridiculous.

“Robin is the most important man in my life. No one comes done.
“When I helped you borrow the villa, I wanted you to see something, Robin is the man you’ll never have.
“So stop thinking you’re above him. You and your family? None of it matters to him.
*I like Robin.
“I know I’m not worthy of him, but I’ll follow him for the rest of my life.
“I’d rather have nothing, no title, no claim to anything than live without him”
A laugh broke from Alice then. It wasn’t one of joy. It was wild, manic, full of rage and something darker.
“Vera, I’ve treated you like my closest friend. But I guess that ends now.
“Since you’ve decided to say all that, I’ll just say what’s been on my mind.”
Vera blinked, confused. “Alice, what are you talking about? If there’s something you want to say, then say
it”
Alice’s lips curled into a bitter smile. “Oh, I will.
“That villa you borrowed? It’s not Robin’s. It belongs to someone else. Someone powerful, someone who stays hidden in the shadows.
“You’ve been his kept woman, haven’t you? That’s the only way you could’ve gotten your hands on such an expensive place.”
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.
The cameras from every news network zeroed in on Vera. The words hit like thunder.
The woman who led Silva Group, the one who’d risen to the top with elegance and charm, was now the target of accusations. Someone’s mistress?
No one had ever suspected it, not with her polished exterior, her fierce ambition.
But now it all made sense. Vera had gained control of the Silva Group with shocking speed.
In just one month, Silva Group had become a force to be reckoned with in Harmonfield.
Was it all just a mask? Was the power, the beauty, the grace just hiding something darker?

Not only had they revealed the extravagant, clusive Villa One on the mountaintop, but they had also captured the faces of some of Harmonfield’s most beautiful women, all caught in a show that felt more like a battle than a celebration.
But the real drama was unfolding live. Drake, not holding back, took the stage and completely demolished the Millers‘ reputation before the whole world.
As Hank wept, voicing his anger over the cruelty the Millers had to endure, a bombshell dropped.
Vera, the glamorous head of Silva Group, was suddenly rumored to be the lover of a powerful man behind the scenes of Villa One.
As the cameras zoomed in on her, the crowd–wealthy heirs and socialites–whispered and pointed at Vera.
Her eyes welled up with tears. She looked at Robin, trying to steady herself. “These are all lies,” she said, voice firm.
Robin shook his head, just as confused as she was.
Vera’s heart pounded. She turned on Alice, fury burning in her chest. “I never imagined you could go this far,” she said, her voice shaking.
“No matter what mistakes I’ve made, I would never sink that low.”
Alice laughed, cruel and sharp. “Oh, Vera, you’re only digging yourself deeper.
“Villa One’s been here for years. Has anyone ever seen the owner?” she scoffed.
“But somehow, you managed to borrow it with no trouble at all.
“It’s obvious the owner must be someone incredibly powerful, but you want us to believe it’s Robin’s?” Alice mocked.
“If it was, why didn’t he tell me when he came to my family with the engagement ring?”
Vera’s temper flared. She managed a bitter laugh, “Alice, would you have believed me?” she shot back.
“You didn’t believe me the last time, even when you were standing right in front of the villa. So don’t blame me for your blindness.”
Alice turned to Raymond. “Mr. Hampton,” she called, pointing at him. “You know the truth, don’t you? Is Villa One really owned by some hidden big shot?”
Raymond gave a dry laugh, clearly uncomfortable. “Alice, it’s time you woke up. Mr. Ramsey is not what

“I’ve always wanted to be close to him, but I couldn’t. I’m just not in his world.
“But you- you had everything. You were right there, and you threw it away. You ruined the one thing that could have made all the difference.
“Ms. Dunn, Ms. West, and Mr. Rygar–they all have more power than you could dream of
“They don’t mock Mr. Ramsey. They respect him. Do you think they’re idiots?
“Maybe it’s you who are too full of yourself. Too proud. Ever thought about that?
“As for the villa, I can’t say if it’s his. But I do know this–Vera would never sell herself for power or riches.”
Zachary’s face darkened, his eyes narrowing. “Raymond, you’re supposed to be my friend. How could you side with them?”
Raymond shrugged, his smile faint. “Zachary, I’ve said all I can. I’m not trying to make anyone right or wrong. But I hope you’ll think about what you’re doing. Remember where we came from.”

Alice wiped a tear from her cheek, her eyes flashing with cold fury. “So, now that Shirley and Daphne are with Robin, you think you can all gang up on me and the Millers?
“Fine. Let’s make it clear. If Robin can prove that Villa One is really his, I’ll bow right here and apologize to everyone in Harmonfield. Robin, do you have the guts?
“And you, Shirley–if that villa isn’t Robin’s, then why attack the Millers? You have no reason to. None.
“If you keep going, people will say that the Dunns are just bullies. Using their power to crush the weak.”
Just then, Robin’s phone rang.
“Mr. Ramsey,” Logan’s voice came through, respectful. The trainers with the mastiffs are here. Should we bring them to Villa One now?”
Robin looked around at the chaos in the room, then gave a slight nod, though he frowned. “Yes, send them.”
Alice snorted, her eyes full of scorn. “So, now you’re playing games with us. Do you think you can prove you own that villa?”
Robin glanced at her, his voice smooth and mocking, “I don’t need to prove anything to you. And if I did, why should I hesitate?”
Alice’s laugh was bitter, her words sharp as knives.
“Robin, you think you’ve fooled everyone? The Millers aren’t as stupid as you think.
“You used your tricks to win over the Dunns and even fooled Daphne,” she spat.
“Shirley, Daphne, even Vera—they might look smart, but when it comes to relationships, they’re just fools.
“You think you can just use them and claim you’re a nobleman?” she mocked.

Zachary’s anger flared. His eyes widened with rage as he stormed toward Robin, voice rising, “You pathetic, worthless man! You strike a woman in front of everyone here in Harmonfield? I—”
Before he could get another word out, Robin reached out, grabbing Zachary by the hair and yanking him down. With a sharp motion, he drove Zachary’s head into a nearby stone planter.
“I thought you’d all leave quietly after the ceremony. But you’ve gone too far. You really thought I wouldn’t do something about it?”

The crowd of elite families from Harmonfield and the live streamers were red as they waded tim strike both Alice and Zachary
All eyes had been on him today, yet he hadn’t spoken much.
As the Millers‘ accusations hung in the air, many began to wonder if they were true.
If Villa One was really his, why had he not kicked them out immediately?
Why allow them to mock and degrade him again and again?
But as Robin stood there, a cold and commanding presence filled the space. The shift in the room was
instant.
This was not the behavior of a man who could be pushed around. This was the air of someone who commanded the room without saying a word.
Could it be true? Was Robin really the elusive, mysterious billionaire people whispered about?
Don’s voice broke the silence, “How dare you hit my son?” He stormed forward, his wife, Melina Coral, at his side.
But before he could reach Robin, a figure appeared in the distance, drawing his attention. Don’s mouth snapped shut as he saw who it was.
Carson walked in, followed by two trainers and two giant Treyshan mastiffs. “Mr. Ramsey, Carson called out with a laugh, “I should’ve known! You’re the one who owns Villa One!”
Robin gave a small, amused smile. “I don’t stay here much.”
Carson waved it off. He pointed to the mastiffs. “These are purebred Treyshan mastiffs. A friend of mine spent close to 500 million buying them. They are the best of the best.
“They belonged to a mastiff collector in Autreynia, but somehow my friends got his hands on them.”
The crowd murmured in shock. Half a billion for two dogs? It was a gesture that spoke volumes.
Then it dawned on them.
Whoever this man was, he was someone far more powerful than even Carson
Carson motioned to the two foreign men with him. “These are the top trainers in the world for Treyshan mastiffs. In one week, they’ll have these dogs completely loyal to you.”
The trainers bowed to Robin.
Carson glanced around at the disarray in the yard. “What … what’s happened here?” he asked, his eyes widening in surprise.
Don stood motionless, his mouth snapping shut as the scene unfolded before him.

Daphne had sworn to wipe out the entire Miller family

Don stood still, drenched in sweat, his mind racing.
“Mr. Ramsey, where should the mastiffs go?” Carson asked.
Robin motioned toward the southwest corner of the villa. “Put them in the backyard. There’s a pool, a golf course, and some dog facilities.
“Let the trainers pick the best spot. Once they do, if you need anything else, I’ll arrange it.
“Vera, the leopard–print access card, please.”
Vera took it out right away. “I’ll open the door.”
She gave a sly look back at Alice before following Carson toward the southwest door.
Alice’s heart pounded as she watched them go.
Was it possible? Could she have been wrong?
Could Robin really be the mysterious big shot?
The crowd waited in silence, every eye fixed on the door.
They were all thinking the same thing: Was this Robin’s home?
Vera stepped forward, holding the card tightly. She glanced at Alice, her voice sharp, “Watch closely, Alice. You’ll see if this is truly Robin’s house.”

She slid the leopard–print card into the machine beside the door. A deep, mechanical hum filled the air-
But nothing happened. The door stayed shut..
Vera blinked, her confusion growing. She glanced at the camera above them, then back at the door.
Then, without warning, a loud, shrill alarm blared from the camera.
“Warning! Unauthorized access detected! Leave immediately! If you do not, the system will trigger high voltage!”
Vera quickly stepped back, moving at least seven feet away. The alarm stopped as soon as she did.
Alice laughed, a mocking sound that echoed through the air. “Vera, looks like your story just fell apart! Hahaha… If this really is Robin’s place, I’ll eat my words.”
Vera stood frozen, her face pale with confusion. She turned to Robin. “What’s going on? Why didn’t the door open?”
Carson, just as puzzled, looked at Robin.
He couldn’t believe that Robin would use the villa as some kind of show–off.
He turned to the leopard–print card in his hand, still unsure. “Mr. Ramsey, haven’t you been to the back before?”
Robin shook his head, his expression calm. “No, I haven’t. The place is huge, and I’ve never had a reason tó go back there. That door has never been opened.”
Alice let out another burst of laughter. “Yeah, right!” she said sarcastically.
“You couldn’t get through the first door, so how could you get past the second one?”
All eyes turned to Robin, their doubt written clearly on their faces.
If he couldn’t even get into his own backyard, was this really his home?
Robin took the leopard–print access card again, sliding it into the machine. This time, the machine remained silent, still refusing to respond.
He looked up at the camera, his brows furrowed.
Then, once more, the alarm went off.
The crowd fell silent, all eyes on Robin, waiting for him to make the next move. Would the door finally open? Would this villa be his after all?

The air buzzed with the hum of the security system, and suddenly, a bright, colorful beam shot out from the ornate door, surrounding Robin completely,
“Robin, move!” Vera cried, rushing toward him.
But as soon as her hand touched the beam, she was jolted back, the shock of static electricity sending her stumbling.
The crowd gasped in surprise.
The alarm blared again, its sharp sound cutting through the tension.
“Ha! Robin, is this place really yours?” Alice scoffed, wiping blood from her lip with a mocking smile.
“If it’s yours, why can’t you even open the back door?” she sneered.
“Let me guess,” she added, “You forgot your access card, right?”
Hank stepped forward, his face twisted in anger. The cameras were rolling, catching every moment. “Did you all see that? This place isn’t his!
“He’s been holding a grudge against the Millers since we ended the engagement, and now he’s ruining my granddaughter’s wedding to Zachary!
“Harmonfield, where did we go wrong? Tell me!” his voice was thick with fury.
“Robin’s hatred for us is so deep, he’s gone and made enemies of every big family in town!
“And now, the Dunn family is crushing our businesses! My reports say our enterprises are shrinking fast!
“Where’s the justice in that?”
The live–streams exploded with comments in real time.
“Robin’s a fraud!”
“How could someone like him own Villa One of Dawnspire Heights? No way!”
“The villa had been under construction for years, with rumors swirling about its origins.”
“Some said it was built by a mysterious figure–an official from a secret government faction. Others claimed it was funded by a powerful warlord.”
“One thing was clear: the villa’s owner was someone untouchable, someone whose wealth and influence could shape the world.”
“No way could a young man barely out of his 20s be that person.”
“If Robin isn’t powerful, how could two of Harmonfield’s most beautiful women–Daphne and Shirley- fall for him?”

“And how could Ms. Silva, the new leader of Silva Group, lower herself to follow Robin without worrying about titles or recognition?”
“What should I do with you guys?”
“Alice had made it clear.”

“Men like him–handsome, charming–know how to manipulate women.”
“They know how to lure them in, especially those born into wealth, sheltered from the world.”
“And women like Shirley? They lost themselves in love. It was as if their minds shut off, every time.”
“I ain’t buying any of this.”
“If Robin really is the owner of Villa One, if he is this mysterious figure everyone whispered about–how could he not even know how to open his own door?”
Cameras from dozens of live–streaming sites zoomed in on Robin.
A flood of colored light surrounded him, wrapping his form in a brilliant display.
The crowd, which had been quick to judge, fell completely silent.
What they saw before them was something they couldn’t explain.
The colors were rich, almost otherworldly.
Within the light, a Golden Dragon Emblem seemed to glide, twisting through the beams with effortless grace, breathing mist as it moved.
Robin stood in the center, his presence commanding, as if he wore a suit made of starlight.
Vera, standing close by, couldn’t tear her eyes away. Her hand pressed to her lips as she watched, her breath caught in her throat.
Oh my gosh, he looks exactly like the hero I’ve always dreamed of!
A voice, calm and full of warmth, echoed through the space, “DNA–activated access granted. Welcome, Mr. Robin Ramsey.”
The light shimmered, and a joyous dragon’s roar seemed to ripple through the air as the beams danced and parted.
With a soft click, the grand door creaked open, revealing the path beyond.

“Those dumbases actually called him a street rat! How stupid can they be?”
The crowd, both online and in the room, erupted in excited murmurs.
The Millers, however, were frozen, completely taken aback.
“This can’t be real!” Hank’s gaze never left Robin as his mind raced. His legs wobbled, and he had to catch himself on the edge of a nearby chair.
Alice, still in shock, shot up from the floor. “It really opened?!
“No! It can’t be! There’s no way! This must be some kind of trick!”
The room went quiet for a moment, then everyone turned their eyes on Alice. The look in their eyes was clear–she had no idea what she was talking about.
It was like trying to explain fire to someone who had never seen it, or telling a worm about flying.
How could someone so shallow and quick to judge still doubt the truth in front of her?
This man, who was beyond her league, was subjected to her humiliation time and time again.
Don, still shaken, began to come to his senses.
The Millers, he realized, were a mess.
If the Gills had ever considered a union with them, it would’ve been the biggest mistake they could have made. The worst kind of mistake,
A cold shiver ran through Don. He stood straighter, his voice firm and filled with authority. “The Gills have decided,” he said, “Zachary and Alice’s engagement is over.”
