Chapter 206 Jacob Threw Away the Invitation
Alice was thrilled to her very core when she felt Jacob's gaze on her. Every cell in her body was practically trembling with excitement.
"Why are you so excited?" Vera shot a scornful look at Alice, who was practically glowing with excitement. "He's not even part of Madam Mavis's inner circle. How could he know anything about her connections?
"He's just a guard for the Nevilles. It's too hasty of him to declare Robin's card fake without even verifying it?"
However, Alice didn't hear a word Vera was saying.
She was completely attracted by Jacob's charm and aura.
In her eyes, Jacob was the epitome of an elite nobleman.
Even if he wasn't part of the Nevilles' core members, his noble air captivated her entirely.
Jacob *did catch on to Vera's words.
His expression turned cold as he sized her up. He noticed her low-end plastic sandals and quickly dismissed her as someone ordinary.
"Our VIP guests are all registered in our system, with detailed information on each. He and his so-called premium invitation don't exist in the records.
Jacob let out a disdainful chuckle and pointed at Vera. "And someone like you—showing up in such cheap attire—has no right to criticize me!
"I have every right to deny you entry into the venue if you keep causing a disturbance here!"
"You!" Vera's face flushed with anger. Robin gently pulled her back, stepping protectively in front of her.
Jacob turned his attention to Robin. His expression was still indifferent but his eyes held a glint of contempt.
"Get out of here, immediately! Otherwise, the Nevilles won't hesitate to use force against a fraud like you!"
With that, he tossed Robin's premium invitation straight into a trash can not far away and entered the venue.
The entire lobby of the Rosewood Hotel fell into a stunned silence.
Vera was stunned at Jacob's dismissive move.
Then, she looked at him pitifully.
<i>Poor man. He just made a grave mistake today.</i>
<i>Someone like him is nothing if he ever lost the favor of his family's core members.</i>
Finding a job would be a challenge for him once he's cast out by the Nevilles. Nobody would take in a discarded member of such a powerful family.
Jacob had put an end to his dream by offending Mavis's guest.
Liam sneered at Robin. "Come on, Robin. If you don't leave now, things are only going to get uglier."
Alice shook her head and her eyes were filled with contempt. "Robin, get out already! You're everywhere I go and it's disgusting!
"Please, stop doing these pathetic things just because of me!"
"I get goosebumps just thinking about having any connection with you.
"It's a disgrace for me to be associated with you! Now, get lost!"
The crowd instinctively stepped back. They were eager to distance themselves from Robin, as if afraid their status would be affected by him.
Suddenly, Vera burst out laughing. "Robin, look at your personal relations! Gosh! Hahaha ... "
Everyone turned to stare at Vera. They were astonished by her laughter.
A few people even glanced at her green plastic sandals with disdain.
"Is this woman crazy?"
"I guess so ... "
"Mr. Jacob already kicked them out, but here she is, still fooling around with that fraud. She must be out of her mind."
Robin rolled his eyes at Vera. "Are you seriously making fun of me right now?"
Vera linked arms with him and said, "Everyone else deserted you, but I'm right here, standing by your side. And that means something, doesn't it?"
"What?" Robin noticed the eager light in her eyes and added, "We are bros for life?"
"What the hell? I'm a woman!" Vera shot him a glare and smiled playfully. "Well, you should buy me some nice jewelry at the auction later."
Robin could only shake his head at her antics.
"Hah! Vera, you're such a fool!" Alice scoffed with a smirk, prompting a round of chuckles from those nearby. "He can't even get in! How could he possibly buy you a gift?"
"Hold it right there! Are everyone from the Nevilles as rude as you?" Amid the laughter, an unexpectedly stern voice cut through the air, causing the room to fall silent once again.
All eyes were on Robin.
<i>Did ... Did Robin just insult Jacob?</i>
<i>We didn't hear wrongly, right?</i>
<i>Someone is bold enough to insult the Nevilles!</i>
<i>He must have a death wish!</i>
The crowd collectively turned toward Jacob, who had halted in his steps.
Liam exchanged a look with Zachary and shook his head in amusement.
<i>Did Robin seriously just pick a fight with the Nevilles?</i>
<i>Was he fearless, or just utterly brainless?</i>
Eliminating someone ordinary was like a flick of the wrist for a martial arts family.
Alice cast a mocking look at Robin.
<i>Robin, you've got the guts to actually dare insult someone from the Nevilles?</i>
She glanced at Vera, signaling urgently. "Vera, step away from Robin, now! Otherwise, you could get us all into serious trouble!"
