The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177 Are You Still Refusing to Bow?
Rosalie was stunned when Percy called.

The 100,000 she had sent him was borrowed from Abyssal Dominion, a questionable lending company that charged exorbitant interest rates.

Without Robin's assistance, she would have faced serious consequences long ago.

Now, however, Percy had lost that money!

What was she supposed to do?

For a brief moment, Rosalie was left speechless, her mind racing in a state of panic.

Losing that money meant her mother's medical treatment would be interrupted.

Desperately, she began searching for options.

With no alternatives left, she reluctantly decided to contact relatives she hadn't spoken to in ages.

Since her mother fell ill, they had all seemed to back away, probably frightened of being asked for financial help.

Yet, given the gravity of her situation, she had no choice but to reach out. Regardless of how humiliating it felt, she had to do it for her mother's sake.

Noticing the worried expression on Rosalie's face, Robin casually inquired, "What's going on?"

"Um ... it's nothing. Just some arrangements for my mom's surgery," Rosalie stuttered, ultimately deciding against sharing the specifics of Percy's phone call.

She couldn't bear to put any more weight on Robin's shoulders; he had already done so much for her.

She swore she couldn't let Robin know about Percy borrowing from the dark web lenders.

"Robin, I need to take a day off from work. I have to go to the hospital today. Is that alright?"

"The hospital? Do you want me to drive you?" Robin asked, glancing at Rosalie, who appeared quite anxious.

"No, really, it's fine. You have enough to deal with. I can take a cab," she replied hastily.

"Okay," Robin said, nodding as he pulled the car over.

Once they stopped, Rosalie quickly hailed a taxi and hurried away.

Robin hadn't driven very far when a crowd suddenly obstructed the road ahead.

As he contemplated how to navigate around them, he caught sight of a damaged car amid the chaos—it was Vera's Porsche 918.

At that moment, Vera was surrounded by several individuals, including Harvey, Quincy, and Jamie.

Next to Jamie stood a man in his 50s, accompanied by several intimidating bodyguards.

It was clear that Jamie had come with backup to confront Vera.

What a disgrace—harassing a woman! And it was his own cousin!

Robin's lips curled into a cold smirk as he parked the car, turned off the engine, and stepped out.

The scene before him showed a group of men closing in on Vera, their expressions filled with hostility.

The front of her Porsche was crumpled and hardly recognizable.

Jamie spat, "You little tramp! Hand over those Silvas shares. They're ours!

"Back when Sharon, that b*tch, fled from the Lynches, she swindled five million from us! Without that money, there would be no Silva Group today!"

Furious, Vera shot back, "You're a disgrace! My mom brought five million to Harmonfield, and she earned it through her hard work on Well Street!

"She invested that money, and when she earned ten million, she gave it all to my grandmother!

"When my mom left the Lynches, she took nothing! It was my grandmother who felt pity for her and sent her five million! Go ask your pathetic grandfather if I'm lying!"

Vera pointed at the man next to Jamie. "You're the Lynches' second steward; you know this is true!"

The man, Lewis Lynch, nodded. "That's correct, Ms. Silva. However, Mr. Jamie insists that five million belongs to the Lynches. To the family, there's no distinction between right and wrong—only whether they want it or not."

"H-how could you ... " Vera stuttered, utterly flabbergasted.

"I can't believe it! The Lynches of Brighton—what a bunch of thieves!" Robin pushed through the crowd and stood beside Vera.

Her eyes lit up, and tears of frustration streamed down her face.

At her lowest point, Robin had appeared like a knight in shining armor.

In that moment, her world felt significantly brighter!

Vera threw herself into Robin's embrace, sobbing uncontrollably.

Robin stood momentarily stunned, grappling with the scene before him.

The confident woman he usually saw had transformed into a vulnerable figure, clutching him tightly as she unleashed her frustrations.

Jamie instinctively hid behind Lewis, her voice quaking with rage. "Lewis, this jerk assaulted me! I want him gone!"

Lewis directed a cold, piercing glare at Robin, his eyes gleaming with a menacing intent that sent shivers through the crowd.
