What could happen to me?" Robin said, glancing at Ven
He unlocked his phone and saw a message from Amber
"Mr. Robin, the Violeterest cocktail party is about to begin."
"Ms. Dunn asked me to let you know he'll be waiting for you in the banquet hall on the 28th floor of the Violetcrest Convention Center in half an hour."
Vera glanced at the visibly angry Rita beside her, then, noticing Robin typing a reply to a WhatsApp message, she quietly asked, "Robin, are you sure Ms. West didn't do anything to you?" Robin looked towards Alice and Zachary, who were nearby.
Turning back to Vera, who looked confused, he laughed softly. "What could she do to me? Are you all let down that nothing happened?"
Vera gave him a frustrated stare and scolded, "You really are something-
You were so cocky at the bar earlier. Why didn't Mr. Hartley and his men do anything about it?"
"Maybe Daphne and Rita are just fond of me," Robin said, glancing at Rita with interest as he headed toward the Violeterest Convention Center.
"Hmph!" Rita shot a furious look at Robin.
Vera, frightened, quickly looked down and scurried to keep up with him.
Alice, Zachary, and the others, along with a crowd of onlookers, had been waiting at the casual tea spot outside the bar.
They were eager to see what kind of trouble Robin would be in when h
Seeing Robin emerge like this was truly baffling.
In the elite circles of Harmonfield, everyone understood the rules at Daphne's Violeterest Bar.
Considering what Robin did today, Daphne's staff will surely uke drastic action against him.
"I can't believe this jerk walked out in one piece. I don't get it!" Zachary grumbled, rubbing his bruised.
mouth.
Alice scoffed and said, "I bet he begged Ms. West for mercy, which is why he made it out alive."
Zachary shook his head in confusion and remarked, "This is so odd! Maybe he called Shirley and the Dunns stepped in, so Ms. West let him go?" "That's the only explanation that makes sense." Alice agreed.
Zachary watched Robin walk away and sneered..
Robin was incredibly arrogant today!
"He not only made Eric furious but also openly challenged Rowan, the top general working for M. West, and even took down the second-in-command of Mr. Rygar. "In no time, Robin has managed to tick off nearly every major player in Harmonfield at Violetcrest Club. He's in deep trouble!
"Even if some groups are letting him off the hook now because of his connections with the Dunns
"There's no telling what might happen next time.
"Eventually, the Dunns' influence and goodwill will run out, and there will come a time when he can't rely on them anymore.
"Then, I can't wait to see how Robin will be arrogant again, hehe
"Vera, hold on a second. Why are you trailing that idiot Robin?" Alice and Zachary caught up with Vera, sneering.
I suggest you steer clear of people like him, or you might find yourself in trouble again."
Alice pulled Vera aside and said, "There was nearly a serious incident at the bar just now. If Mr. Gill hadn't stepped in, who knows what might have happened!"
Vera wanted to explain that she had no involvement with Zachary and it was actually Robin who fixed the issue.
Alice added, "Vera, don't let your curiosity pull you toward that country boy Robin again. Someone like him, who has no sense of proper behavior, is bound to stir up serious trouble eventually. "Um, Ms. Clayton. Alice spoke scornfully of Robin as Rita walked by
She quickly continued, "Robin is coming from a lower social class, don't level. I believe he should be removed from the Violetcrest investment 1
y we communicate at our
tail event.
Noticing this, Zachary chimed in to agree, "Alice is correct. Robin is nothing out a nuisance in our elite circle!"
Rita halted, turning to glare icily at Alice and Zachary while asking, "Your circle: You think Robin is a nuisance?
"Do you mean that Robin stirs up trouble in your group?"
Alice and Zachary responded together, "Yes, Ms. Clayton, we need to get rid of him!"
"Hehe! Rita sneered, "So, you're saying Robin has just been stirring you all up?"
"Exactly!" Alice and Zachary answered without a moment's pause.
"Ah!" Raymond and Vera, standing nearby, almost simultaneously covered their faces in embarrassment.
Rita remained silent.
She brought her hand up to her nose, waved it with a look of disgust, shot them a glance, and then turned to head into the bar.
Alice stared at Rita's retreating figure, confused. "Rita, did I say something inappropriate? What was she trying to say?"
"Oh my gosh! Alice, you can't be serious," Vera said, shaking her head in disbelief.
"You're admitting you're a pile of crap! No wonder Ms. Rita doesn't want to talk to you anymore-she can't stand the stench!" Alice finally snapped back to reality. "Ridiculous! This is all Robin's fault for driving me mad!"
"Come on, let's not linger here. The Violetcrest cocktail party is about to begin. We should get moving. Raymond pressed.
Zachary took Alice's hand as she pouted and said, "Alice, once my dad finalizes the investment in the Eastvale Ecological Project today, I'll make sure that pink Robin gets what's coming to him! His days of showing off are numbered!" In the banquet hall on the 28th floor of the Violetcrest Convention Center, Shirley and Amber were
waiting in the business lounge area.
Robin located them using the WhatsApp Jocation.
Shirley glanced at him and asked, "Are you alright?"
Robin shrugged and replied, I'm alright, what's up?"
"Amber mentioned that you had a run-in with Eric from the Universal Group at the bar. Has it been sorted "It's nothing major, Robin said as he took the coffee the waiter han
Shirley glanced at Robin, who seemed unbothered. "Did Rowan from the bar cause any trouble for you?"
"Nah, everyone was pretty courteous," Robin said, putting down his coffee. "Why do you ask?"
"Oh... well, that's a relief, Shirley replied. She had considered asking more about what happened when Daphne invited him to meet
Noticing Robin's reluctance to elaborate, she paused, then chose not to press further.
After all, Robin was merely a benefactor and guest of the Dunns.
He wasn't obliged to share anything with her.
Still, after the events of the morning, her curiosity about Robin only grew.
At first, she assumed this man was merely talented, possibly with a history in special forces or something similar.
However, Rygar's unusual behaviour, Daphne's eagerness to invite him, and the fact that he managed to get into a fight at the Violeterest Bar and walk away unarmed made her rethink her initial impression.. These highly unusual events only deepened Shirley's interest in Robin.
As she reflected on Robin's connection with the Millers, Shirley questioned whether she might be reading too much into things.
Maybe Rygar took into account the Dunns influence, which could explain why he made considerable compromises in the Eastvale Ecological investment project.
Maybe Daphne was simply intrigued by Robin's exceptional archery skills, which could explain why she invited him to meet and let him off the hook after the incident at the Violeterest Bar
Robin noticed Shirley gazing at him, lost in thought, and shrugged while asking, "Are you staring because you're captivated by my good looks?"
Shirley blushed and scolded, "You're so full of yourself
"Do you know who Eric is?"
Robin smirked and said, "Yeah, isn't he Perry's nephew from the Universal Group? What's the issue?"
Shirley nodded and replied, "Eric, the spoiled playboy, isn't even worth our time.
"But Perry's eldest son, Liam Hamilton, is a different story!
"About four or five years ago, the Hamiltons was just an average nan nong Harmonfield's elite, nearly at the bottom.
"However, once Perry's eldest son Liam came back from studying abroad four years ago, the Hamiltons. swiftly climbed the ranks.
"Perry and his son quickly rose to prominence in Harmonfield.
"With their leadership, the Universal Group thrived,
"In the past two years, as my father's health declined, Perry has been trying to n place my grandfather as the chairman of the Harmonfield Chamber of Commerce.
"Liam has been trying to propose to me in different ways for more than a year now."
"I understand that he's after the connections and assets of the Dunns in Harmonfield.
"During this time, he's created issues with the regional investment aspect in the Eastvale Ecological Project, pressuring me and the Dunns to give in
"Shirley, I finally tracked you down! At that moment, a tall, dashing man in a white suit approached them.
Amber leaned in and whispered to Robin, "That's Liam
