The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205 Are You Insulting My Intelligence?
The crowd of guests was utterly disgusted by Robin's behavior.

<i>How could something so disgraceful happen in such a high-class setting?</i>

<i>And this was an auction hosted by the Nevilles.</i>

<i>This man is fearless by daring to sneak in with a fake premium invitation.</i>

Feeling the scornful stares around them, Vera frowned and said, "Zachary, how can you accuse Robin of carrying a fake invitation without any proof?"

"Alice, really! Do you think Robin is foolish enough to pull something so low-class?

"What if, just what if, Robin's premium invitation was actually sent by Madam Mavis herself? Aren't you worried about offending the Nevilles?"

Alice let out a laugh. "Vera, you always make excuses for him. Madam Mavis doesn't even know who Robin is. How could you come up with such a ridiculous idea that she'd send him a personal invitation?

"Robin is just a nobody, without family or status. How dare he say something so ridiculous?

"He is just a delusional loser suffering from Ripley syndrome!"

"Well, you're entitled to think that way." Vera sighed.

"But Alice, do you really need to go this far even if you think Robin's beneath you?

"Whatever card he's holding, whatever he's done, it doesn't hurt you in any way. Why are you so relentless in making things difficult for him?

"If he's using a fake invitation, the auction staff will handle it.

"So why do you have to team up with Liam and openly humiliate him? Alice, I don't understand you!"

Alice sneered. "I can't stand his pretentious attitude! It makes me sick every time he tries to play the role of a refined gentleman!

"A man from the bottom rung of society like him could never compare to someone as elegant as Mr. Liam no matter how hard he tries!"

Vera chuckled knowingly.

"You really do have a unique taste. Alice, would you regret it if one day you discover that the man you've been mocking and scorning is someone you could never hope to reach?"

Alice's gaze turned cold. "Are you insulting my intelligence, Vera? What makes you think he could ever reach such heights? Saying that is nothing short of a joke!"

Vera smiled. "The thing is, Robin already holds that position. You're just unwilling to believe it."

"It's either you're helping Robin lie to me, or you've been completely deceived by him!" Alice laughed loudly, startling the onlookers.

"Vera, I swear before everyone here—no matter what, even if Robin someday manages to surprise me, I will never look at him differently, and I will never regret calling off the engagement!"

Her words drew mocking stares from the crowd around them.

"So he's just some fraud? Unbelievable!"

"He looked like he might be somebody, but he's actually a pathetic guy who got dumped!"

...

Vera found herself momentarily at a loss hearing the whispers around her.

She had thought her conversation with Alice about Robin would remain private, but Alice had now boldly turned this into a public spectacle, casting Robin under a harsh light of ridicule.

Liam smirked. "Robin, take my advice and leave. This is the Nevilles' event. No one will be able to save you if things go south."

Alice jumped in eagerly. "Robin, Mr. Liam's giving you a warning out of respect for Ms. Dunn. You should thank him and leave already!

"Otherwise, you wouldn't even know how you died by deceiving a martial arts family like the Nevilles!

"You have no idea of the power a real elite family wields. Crushing someone like you would be as easy as swatting a fly. And they wouldn't even need to get their hands dirty."

Robin smirked. "Are the Nevilles really that formidable?"

Alice scoffed. "Robin, there are elite families you couldn't even imagine!

"I know what you're trying to do. You wanted to look like someone important in front of me, hoping I'd notice you. Well, I'm not interested no matter what you do!

"Why don't you get it? Just stay in your lane. A regular guy like you would be much better off without all this fake glamor."

Robin didn't bother responding to her. He glanced at his watch and walked up to the attendant. "Verify the card," he said sternly.

The attendant hesitated. She was caught off guard by his commanding tone. "I ... I'm sorry, sir. Please wait a moment ... "

Alice was shocked that Robin was still refusing to leave.

Besides that, he was bold enough to demand the attendant to verify his invitation.

<i>This idiot! He was really going all out just to impress me!</i>

Liam's face darkened as Robin ignored him in front of the elite families of Brookhaven.

"Robin, what right do you have to order my staff around? This auction is jointly hosted by the Neville Group and the Hamiltons. Do you think I wouldn't know if your invitation is authentic?

"Since you're so insistent, let's settle this once and for all. I'll show you what it means to embarrass yourself right here in front of everyone."

Alice sneered, shaking her head in disbelief. "Robin, do you have no shame? Mr. Liam is letting you off the hook for deceiving the Nevilles, and yet you're still acting like this.

"Are you going to wait until the Nevilles throw you out before you realize your ignorance?"
