The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190 Ivy's Concert
Vera was stunned; she didn't understand why Alice would say something like that. "Why should I switch seats with him? Does he even deserve to sit in my place?"

Alice scoffed. "Oh, come on, Vera, drop the act. I know everything. Why wouldn't Mr. Hamilton be qualified to sit here?

"Silva Group is nothing in front of Mr. Hamilton, you know that, right?

"Besides, if it wasn't for Mr. Hamilton, do you really think you'd have won the management rights at Silva Group?"

Vera was speechless. "Alice, are you kidding? What does the Hamiltons have to do with me?

"Liam can go make his money, and I'll run Silva Group. I don't owe him anything.

"And by the way, the sponsor for Ivy's concert tonight is us—the Silvas, not the Hamiltons. Who does he think he is, asking me to swap seats? Are you out of your mind?"

Vera couldn't understand why Alice would even think this way.

Alice gave a cold laugh. "Still lying, huh, Vera? You think I don't know?

"I just went up to the executive floor on your 28th floor today, and I saw Eric there. If the Hamiltons weren't helping you out behind the scenes, how would Eric even show up at Silva Group?"

Vera shook her head, thinking to herself, Eric is just one of Robin's lackeys!

You act like he's some big shot. What kind of stupid perspective is that?

But Alice wasn't backing down. "I just talked to Mr. Hamilton, and he said he's the one who introduced Anna's Management Team to you. It has nothing to do with Robin!

"He's even had lunch a few times with Leonardo, the eldest son of the Dickers.

"Vera, we've been friends for so many years, and yet you've never once told me the truth. What's the point of all this secrecy?"

Vera didn't know what to say. "Alice, can we just drop this? Your way of thinking is so ... strange.

"Look, the concert's about to start. If we keep talking, we'll disturb everyone else."

Alice was visibly annoyed. "Vera, are you switching seats with Mr. Hamilton or not?

"People need to learn gratitude. The Hamiltons have helped you so much, and you're seriously letting Mr. Hamilton sit in the second row while you take the spotlight up here!

"All the glory and attention are on you, while he's left in the background like some unsung hero.

"Don't you think that's a bit ... selfish?"

Vera was losing her patience.

"Alice, if you really believe that just because I got you a VIP ticket to Ivy's concert, you have the right to boss me around, then go ahead and hand the ticket back. You can leave."

Alice was furious. "So, Vera, are you really ending our friendship over this?"

Vera didn't want to talk to her anymore.

This warped way of thinking was driving her crazy.

Seeing that Vera had gone silent, Alice continued, "After all this time, I'm only now realizing how selfish and vain you really are, Vera!"

Vera let out a cold laugh. "Alright, however you see me—that's your business.

"I realize now that I made a huge mistake tonight. I never should've brought you to this concert!

"So please, shut up. I don't want to talk to you anymore."

Vera was genuinely angry.

At that moment, a wave of applause and cheers erupted from the concert hall.

Ivy had stepped onto the stage, surrounded by a group of stunning dancers.

She bowed slightly, smiling and acknowledging the audience.

Then, she took a gorgeous bouquet of flowers from one of the dancers, stepped off the stage, and started heading toward the VIP section.

The crowd buzzed with excitement.

Dozens of bodyguards quickly formed a human wall, keeping the fans from rushing forward.

Alice was stunned by the glamorous scene.

She stared at Ivy's fairy-like face in awe and said, "Ivy, the actress from Qurgh—she's just stunning! I can't believe I'm seeing her up close like this."

In that moment, as she watched Ivy gracefully approach from the center of the stage, Alice's mind began to drift.

She imagined herself as Ivy, standing under the dazzling spotlight, on a stage adored by thousands, basking in the admiration and worship of the masses.

She was enchanted by the fantasy.

"Hehehe," Alice let out an uncontrollable giggle.

Liam nudged her. "What are you giggling at? Keep it down!"

Alice suddenly realized the whole place had gone silent, and she was the only one laughing like an idiot.

She quickly shut her mouth.

Watching Ivy step closer and closer to the VIP section, Alice's heart started racing.

Was Ivy really going to hand her the bouquet?

She was confident that her outfit, which she had meticulously chosen that afternoon, outshone everyone else's in the row.

Excitedly, she almost stood up.

Vera pulled her down. "Alice, don't stand up—you'll block the camera on the right."

Alice frowned and muttered, "She's definitely going to invite me ... "

Vera shook her head. "This is part of the pre-show. Ivy isn't coming to you; she's bringing the flowers to Robin."

Alice scoffed. "Robin? Robin in that seat? Do you really think he's worthy?

"If Ivy comes to the VIP section and sees him sitting there, I bet she's going to be really disappointed.
