The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138 We Finally Met 

Vera’s face clouded as she watched the smug look on Abre’s face. 

“Alice, I don’t understand why you always despise Robin. 

“From what I recall, he’s never done anything to harm you or your family’s interests.

“Even if you look down on Robin, find his status lacking, and don’t want to marry him, he’s never shown. 

any resentment. 

“He’s even helped you. 

“It’s one thing not to show a hint of gratitude, but to despise him, to hope for his misfortune–it just doesn’t make sense. 

“I can’t understand why you feel this way. At the very least, the Ramseys and the Millers have shared a Connection over the years–that counts for something. 

“Even if you two don’t end up together, you could at least wish him well, not curse him!” 

Alice shook her head and gave a mocking laugh. “Why should I wish well for someone always out for attention, constantly stirring up trouble? He’s shallow and vulgar. 

“He helped me just to show off and win me back after I broke off the engagement 

“Hah! He forgets that we’re from completely different worlds. All 1 feel for him is contempt! 

“Every time he causes a big scene, I can’t help but feel ashamed for him. 

“A man with little real ability who insists on doing outlandish things… It’s disgusting!” 

As Vera and Alice were talking, two Bentleys drove by. 

Vera’s eyes lit up as she thought she caught sight of Robin in one of the cars. 

“Alice, look! Isn’t that Robin in the car?” 

Alice glanced at the foreigners sitting in the car and laughed. “Vera, are you out of your mind? Why are you so obsessed with Robin? 

“What kind of tricks did that se undrel pull to have you so mesmerized? 

“Vera, get a grip! 

“Look closer–those Bentleys are reserved for foreign dignitaries! They’re specifically used by the Harmonfield City Government’s Foreign Affairs Office for VIP guests! 

“With Robin’s lowly status, there’s no way he’d qualify to sit in such a luxurious car 

“Vera, you need to come to your senses. If this keeps up, I’m seriously worried about you!” 

Ignoring Alice’s mocking tone, Vera pulled out her phone and called Robin.

Annoyed, Vera snapped, “Robin, I wanted to check on you! D*rn! A woman calling you late at night out of concern, and you’re not even a little touched?” 

Robin could practically picture the anger on Vera’s face and chuckled. “So, where are you? Concerned about me?” 

“I just want to know where you are!” Vera said, exasperated. 

“I’m on my way to the Harmonfield Hotel,” Robin replied, stifling a yawn. 

“Aren’t you at the bank?” Vera felt a sense of relief wash over her. 

“No, I left the bank a while ago.” 

“Robin, are you in a Bentley?” 

“How’d you know I’m in a Bentley? Are you following me?” 

“Don’t be ridiculous!” Vera huffed. 

So, what’s going on? Just say it. Robin replied, amused, sensing Vera’s tension through the phone. 

Vera fell silent for a moment, suddenly at a loss for words. 

Her throat tightened, and tears welled up in her eyes. 

“Can’t I call you without having a reason? Vera wiped a tear from the corner of her eye, gritting her teeth “You jerk!” 

With that, she hung up abruptly. 

Imagining the confused look on Robin’s face, Vera burst out laughing. 

Robin stared at his phone, which displayed the call as disconnected, and pursed his lips. 

Is she out of her mind? Did she call just to insult me? 

“You jerk!” Robin muttered to himself, startling the two Aldridge bodyguarde in the car with him. 

They nervously shuffled away from his seat, fearing he might kick them out of the car at any moment. 

Alice looked at Vera, who was smiling through tears and shook her head. “Vera, I overheard your conversation with Robin. You and that man are hopeless! 

“He says he left the bank and rode a Bentley to the Harmonfield Hotel, and you believe that? 

“The Harmonfield Hotel is the largest and most luxurious five–star hotel in the area. It usually hosts foreign dignitaries or major government meetings. 

What would he be doing there? Do you think the Slaters invited him to dine at the Harmonfield 

“And you buy that?”

Alice shook her head as she watched Vera walk away is over. Vera has fallen for Robin’s tricks completely!” 

Zachary smirked. “Let it be. Everyone has their destiny, If Vera wants to be deceived by Robin, there’s nothing we can do.” 

Alice sighed. “I told her ages ago to keep her distance from a guy like Robin, but she wouldn’t listen. Now look–she’s in deep with him!” 

She hadn’t noticed all the missed calls from her aunt, uncle, and other family members 

“What’s done is done. No matter whose idea it was to buy them, we’re family. You can’t just stand by and watch those plots become worthless to us, can you? 

“You managed to sell yours today, even if it was at half price, at least without a loss. 

“You’re dreaming! Do you think the Dunns are fools? There’s no way the Dunn Group would pay that much for your Southvale land!”
