Chapter 108 Having a Troublesome Woman Around
As Howard surveyed the disorder unfolding in the signing hall, a sense of pleasure surged within him, this was precisely the spectacle he had eagerly awaited.
He was eager for Robin to provoke the so–called elite in the press.
If that transpired, the journalists would waste no time in tarnishing his reputation.
To Howard, Robin was nothing more than a crude individual who had stumbled into temporary succes
He remained skeptical about the situation involving Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, suspecting it to be nothing but a ruse.
His doubts extended to the potential fallout affecting Dixon Group.
In Howard’s view, the entire scenario could be a cleverly orchestrated façade set up by Robin.
He firmly believed that no one could dismantle a billion–dollar company in mere minutes.
At that moment, he was busy investigating the tricks Robin had used to gain Shirley’s trust.
Once he unveiled the truth lurking beneath the surface, he planned to deal Robin a decisive blow.
As he observed the unfolding chaos, Howard sidled up to Shirley and murmured, “Ms. Dunn, we can’t allow Robin to continue causing this disruption. I’m concerned it might place the Dunns in a precarious position. What I’m implying is-
Shirley raised her hand, silencing him with a stoic gaze directed at the reporters swarming around them.
She was well–prepared for this very situation.
If she couldn’t navigate a minor incident like this, how could she possibly manage a vast enterprise like the Dunn Group, worth billions?
Previously, she had instructed Amber to contact the PR department of the Dunn Group, just in case things escalated.
If Robin’s side truly fell apart, she would have the Dunn Group’s marketing and public relations team ready to intervene at a moment’s notice.
This trivial situation did not faze her in the slightest.
Robin, eyeing the irate Grace, said, “Since Haven Realty is so keen to understand why the Dunns turned down your proposal for the Eastvale outsourcing project
“Let’s take a look at a video detailing Haven Realty’s operational history!”
With that, he forwarded a video to Amber. “Ms. Jenning, please display this information about Haven Realty.”
Grace and Daniel exchanged puzzled glances, uncertain about Robin’s intentions. Then, they looked up at the large screen at the front of the signing hall.

The video, sent to Robin by an intelligence agency operating on the dark web, contained insider details regarding Haven Realty’s recent operations.
Since its inception, Haven Realty had engaged in questionable practices in the city, using cash and charm to bribe officials in order to secure high–yield projects
Haven Realty had undertaken numerous residential and Harmonfield Westvale, Eastvale, and downtown.
Commercial ventures, including projects in
Over the past decade, they had handled more than fifteen residential developments and four commercial properties.
The construction quality of these developments had been subpar
Almost half of the residential buildings exhibited signs of cracking.
Investigations revealed that the cracks resulted from Haven Realty cutting corners during construction.
In recent years, their practices had become increasingly brazen.
They consistently employed underhanded methods to bribe inspectors and officials, obscuring their illegal activities.
This allowed them to utilize inferior building materials in their residential complexes and commercial buildings, often without facing consequences.
The latent dangers gradually emerged over
time.
Last year, two residential buildings in Westvale collapsed, leading to 40 fatalities and over 300 injuries. Authorities discovered that the collapse was again attributed to poor construction quality.
Despite public outcry for severe penalties against Haven Realty, they found ways to sweep this matter under the rug.
Now, the repercussions of those events were still reverberating….
The video Robin displayed contained extensive data on the projects Haven Realty had managed.
It also included recent actions taken by law enforcement, detailing penalties and deadlines for compliance.
This information left the attendees in stunned silence.
In the signing hall, several journalists familiar with law enforcement procedures responded affirmatively, “With such dismal credentials, it’s no surprise the Dunn Group refused to partner with Haven Realty for the Eastvale Ecological Project.”
“If we hadn’t viewed this report, we might have mistakenly thought Haven Realty was qualified to collaborate with the Dunn Group!”
The Dunn Group turned them down, and they still expect the Dunns to justify their decision–what audacity!”

“Fraudsters like these deserve to be imprisoned!”
“We strongly urge the city’s law enforcement agencies to shut down disreputable companies like Haven Realty and impose heavy penalties!”
“This is criminal!”
The reporters present, along with the bidders, erupted in a wave of indignation
All attention turned sharply to Daniel and Grace, who were at the center of the turmoil
Shirley, who had maintained her impassive demeanor ar the front of the stage, now felt a spark of amusement flicker in her eyes.
She had not anticipated that Robin would play such a powerful card.
With each of his appearances, he brought a fresh wave of surprises.
It appeared her carefully laid plans weren’t necessary.
Robin turned to Grace and Daniel, his voice flat as he inquired. “Are you satisfied with this explanation?”
Before Daniel could fully grasp the situation, his phone began to ring frantically.
He hastily answered it.
On the other end, his father’s furious voice thundered, “You fool, where are you right now?
“What have you done? You’ve thrown us into a massive mess!
“Haven Realty is finished!”
Daniel felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, almost collapsing under the weight of the news.
In that moment, a realization struck him: Having a troublesome woman around was indeed disastrous!
Grace surveyed the scornful and angry expressions surrounding her, still unable to comprehend what was unfolding.
She tugged at Vera’s sleeve, asking. “Vera, what’s happening? Do they really believe Robin? This is all fabricated!”
Vera gently pulled Grace’s hand away, letting out a sigh. Honestly, this outcome is a result of your
actions…
Grace shot Vera an incredulous look. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand! This is all Robin’s slander; the information he shared is made up! Don’t trust him!”
In a fit of anger, she pointed an accusatory finger at Robin. “You scoundrel, accusing Haven Realty like this -I’ll take legal action against you!”
Daniel struck her hard across the face. “You ungrateful woman! You’ve ruined Haven Realty! I’ll make you

Grace’s vision blurred from the sting of the slap, and she yelled back. Daniel, what the hell! Are you insane! Why are you hiting me? It’s Robin who has created this disaster! We should confront him”
Til strangle you, you arrogam idiot!
Who do you think you are? What right does Haven Realty have to stand against the Dunns?”
Grace held her stinging cheek, stunned, and looked at Daniel in disbelief.
Then she caught sight of the mocking gazes around her.
In that moment, it dawned on her: She had utterly mishandled this situation.
Once she regained her composure, she realized that Haven Realty and the Swans meant nothing in
comparison to the Dunn Group
She had foolishly bragged about exposing the Dunn Group’s secrets.
Wasn’t that just inviting disaster upon herself?
Regret washed over Grace.
Tears streaming down her face, she hurried to Shirley and bowed, “Ms. Dunn, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have-
Shirley coldly gestured for security to escort Grace away.
Within just a few minutes of chaos in the Dunns‘ signing hall, everyone’s phones buzzed with the latest news from Harmonfield.
Multiple law enforcement agencies had jointly raided all of Haven Realty’s properties to conduct investigations.
Additionally, officials in Harmonfield issued a crucial directive for a comprehensive inquiry and strict penalties against Haven Realty’s illegal practices.
Soon, a crowd gathered around the news broadcast covering Haven Realty.
