The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188 I Want to Be With Robin
Alice shook her head and chuckled.

"Vera, come on, you really play your part well. What you and Robin are doing means nothing to me.

"No matter how he appears to others, a man like Robin will never have a place in my life!"

Vera fell silent for a moment, looking at Alice with disdain. "Alice, are you certain you won't regret saying that?"

"Pfft!" Alice scoffed. "Of course I'm sure! No matter how impressive he tries to appear, it's all fake."

Vera chuckled softly. "Can't you see that since Robin arrived in Harmonfield, the dynamics of the upper-class families here have changed dramatically?"

Alice almost burst out laughing. "Robin came and could change the entire upper-class society of Harmonfield? Vera, you really should go to the hospital!"

Ignoring her, Vera walked to the large window and gazed into the distance, murmuring to herself.

"Do you think the Dunns have the guts and capability to control the multi-billion-dollar Southvale plots project?

"Do you think that in the competition for Eastvale Ecological, when the Dunn Group was squeezed by Rygar and the Hamiltons, the Dunns could still have an absolute advantage under such circumstances?

"What is the situation in Harmonfield today?

"The Dunns not only have taken the lead in the overall direction of the Eastvale Business District but have also successfully integrated a significant amount of capital from Harmonfield into the strategic framework of the Dunns' Eastvale Business District.

"This means that the Dunns can mobilize hundreds of billions in capital solely for the development of Eastvale Ecological!

"What does this mean?

"It means that there is a powerful force backing the Dunns!

"Have you not seen the incredible transformation the Dunn Group has achieved with the Southvale plots?"

Alice still laughed mockingly. "And what does that have to do with the Mr. Ramsey you mentioned? All you're saying really proves one thing: Old Mr. Dunn is the true power in Harmonfield."

Vera hesitated for a moment and sighed softly. "Alice, honestly, I shouldn't be having this conversation with you. In a way, it feels like a loss on my part.

"But, you're my best friend. The reason I'm telling you this is that I genuinely want to help you.

"I understand your current situation very well."

At this point, Vera paused. "You may never be lovers with Robin, but at least you could be good friends.

"If that's possible, all your dreams could come true in no time.

"The things we've both worked so hard for could be achieved with just a flick of his hand, just as I find myself now—"

Alice scoffed, cutting her off. "Vera, you say you're my best friend, but it feels like you're trying to push me into a deep pit.

"Robin is nothing but a nobody with no connections. He came to Harmonfield, initially hoping to align himself with the Millers, but after I called off the engagement, he somehow managed to trick Shirley and the Dunns into trusting him.

"Even if he's doing well with the Dunns, he's still just an employee!

"And yet, he carries himself like he's some kind of big shot. It's both ridiculous and sad!

"Vera, if Robin is truly the big shot you say he is, why don't you want to follow him instead of trying to push him on me?"

Vera was taken aback. "Alice, of course I want to be with Robin, but would he even notice me?

"If he were to come to me with a marriage contract, I would follow him without hesitation!

"I wouldn't care about his status!

"I know that Robin is one of the most loyal and compassionate men in the world!

"Even though he seems indifferent to everyone and everything on the surface, if you are sincere with him, he will repay you a thousand times over. The rewards he gives you will be beyond your wildest dreams!

"Just look at the Dunns now, Abyssal Dominion, and even me! Not to mention the Wrights of Harmonfield and Daphne from Violetcrest, who have all benefited from him."

Alice burst into laughter. "Vera, Vera, I've come to realize that you'd excel in entrepreneurship; you're such a gifted storyteller!"

Vera smiled faintly and continued, "Alice, there's no reason for me to deceive you.

"The only reason I'm spending so much time sharing this with you is that during my most helpless and boring moments, you were there with me.

"It's out of gratitude for those times that I want to show you the real Robin.

"Whether you choose to believe me is up to you.

"After saying this, no matter what happens between Robin and me in the future, I won't feel indebted to you."

Alice shook her head. "Vera, I swear to you, if you're interested in Robin, go ahead and pursue him. I won't have any objections! I won't regret it! Besides, he and I have no ties anymore.

"Feel free to enjoy your time with him; I won't resent you for being with a loser, haha!"

Vera laughed, feeling a sense of relief. "Alice, hearing you say that puts my mind at ease. Otherwise, I would have had this knot in my heart."

Alice smiled and said, "Vera, I have one request: please don't bring up anything about Robin in front of me from now on!

"Right now, there's a joke going around Harmonfield, mocking him as the loser who got dumped by us Millers.

"It really bothers me. Being associated with someone like Robin makes me feel embarrassed."

Vera held back the words she almost said. "Okay, Alice, I promise!

"Just wait here for a moment. The VIP tickets for Ivy's concert will arrive soon. I need to take care of some business first."
