Is Ms. West forcing me to accept her invitation?”
Robin glanced at Rita, then at the bodyguards standing respectfully behind her, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
He navigated the treacherous world of mercenaries, driven by vengeance and a thirst for retribution
He despised anyone who spoke to him in such a commanding tone.
“Why should I be obligated to agree? Robin challenged.
“What makes your boss so special that her invitation demands my compliance?
The Violetcrest Riding and Shooting Entertainment Center fell utterly silent
Rita was taken aback!
Her bodyguards, along with the surrounding guests, were equally stunned.
Was he serious?
Daphne, the rising star of Harmonfield’s business world, a breathtaking beauty, and a ruthless queen–did Robin not know who she was?
Alice, who had just walked a few steps away, stopped abruptly.
Robin, you’re playing with fire! Insulting the Queen of Violeterest is practically a death sentence! You mon coming!
On the other hand, Vera covered her mouth and giggled, turning back to look at Robin
That handsome face, that calm and unruffled expression, and that audacious attitude that never failed to shock….
Robin was simply too intriguing!
“Haha… “Vera couldn’t contain her laughter.
Rita shot her a glare.
Vera immediately fell silent, though her eyes still sparked with amusement as she looked at Robin.
Even Shirley’s beautiful eyes glimmered, barely concealing a hint of a smile.
Every time Robin spoke, she found him refreshingly entertaining.
However, his refusal to show Daphne any respect was a bit unwise.
After all, Robin was at Violetcrest Club as her guest.
While she wasn’t intimidated by Daphne, Shirley didn’t want to create unnecessary conflict over something so trivial.
“Robin, perhaps Ms. West has something important to discuss with you. It might be best if you go with Ms. Clayton to see her,” Shirley said softly.
Robin initially didn’t want to agree.
But Shirley continued, her voice gentle.
“Consider it a favor to me. Go meet Ms. West, and I’ll wait for you at the Violetcrest Bar, alright?”
Her voice could melt the hardest heart!
Robin had always been more responsive to softness than force..
Especially when a woman like Shirley made such a request; he couldn’t find a reason to refuse.
“Alright, lead the way.”
Rita had been contemplating how to get Robin to Daphne’s private meeting room.
Should she use force or try to intimidate him?
She hadn’t expected that a single word from Shirley would make Robin agree.
She glanced at Robin, who seemed reluctant and resisted the urge to punch him in the face.
Just wait until you meet Ms. West: let’s see if you still dare to be so arrogant!
Thinking this, she outwardly remained respectful, gesturing politely, “Mr. Ramsey, this way, please.”
Robin followed Rita onto the hall’s tour car, heading toward the Violetcrest Hotel.
Alice subconsciously touched her stinging cheek, glaring venomously at Robin’s back.
“I thought you really had the guts not to go!
“Robin, no matter how you try to act tough in front of me, I’ll never like you!”
Vera shook her head helplessly. “Alice, aren’t you overthinking it? Robin has already broken off the engagement with you. Does he need to keep putting on an act in front of you? Besides, it’s at a level where he’s risking his life.”
Alice sneered, “Vera, you give him too much credit! He wanted to marry me so badly that he traveled all the way here with a twenty–year–old engagement agreement, clinging to the Miller family.
“And now he’s still hanging around Harmonfield. For what?
“Hmph! Just to prove himself to me, to get me to accept him!
“He’ll never understand that I’ll never be interested in a man as simple–minded and brute–like as him!
“With his pitiful vision, how could he possibly understand what I want, haha!
Vera laughed lightly. “I see, you want to become a queen like Daphne.
“Alright, I’m hungry. Let’s go to the bar for a drink and something to eat!”
Violeterest Fitness Center.
A maid approached Daphne, who had just finished her bath.
“Ms. West, Rita has picked up Robin, and they are on their way to the private meeting room at Violetcrest Hotel.”
A sly, seductive smile played on Daphne’s lips.
She stood up lazily, allowing the thin bath towel to slip off, revealing her smooth, fair skin…
