The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215 Tillamisa
Alice was lost in her thoughts and didn't catch the auctioneer's urging.

Zachary excitedly pulled her along. "Come on, Alice! I want the photographer to capture this big moment for us!"

Still staring at Robin, Alice asked, "What big moment?"

Zachary looked surprised for a moment. "The auction staff told us to hurry back for the proposal ceremony. We only have 15 minutes, so we need to move quickly."

After hesitating, Alice finally nodded. "Alright, let's go."

As they entered the auction hall, Liam approached them. "Congratulations to both of you! I heard there's a proposal ceremony later, so I came to congratulate you."

Alice, admiring Liam's elegant manner, replied excitedly, "Thank you, Mr. Liam! Please be sure to come to our wedding!"

Liam smiled warmly. "Of course, I'll be there!"

Filled with joy, Alice grabbed Vera and said, "Vera, come help me pick a dress! Which one do you think is best?"

Thinking about Alice's previous reaction, Vera hesitated to follow. But seeing that her best friend was about to get married, she still agreed.

"Okay, Alice. I truly wish you the best. Let's go."

With the help of the staff, Zachary and Alice quickly changed into outfits for the photo shoot and headed to the stage.

The proposal ceremony brought a lively atmosphere back to the auction. Many young guests gathered to watch, eager to join in the celebration.

Liam arranged for cameras and brought in various props.

Alice and Zachary were touched by Liam's thoughtfulness.

Watching Liam's courteous and humble demeanor made Alice's heart flutter.

"Zachary, Mr. Liam is so kind. You should learn from him. Look at how he carries himself—he's the epitome of charm.

"Compared to Mr. Liam, just thinking about Robin makes me feel sick

"Lower-class people just can't match the grace of nobility, even if he spent other people's money foolishly."

"Look at Mr. Liam's kindness. He even let the staff assist so much with our proposal. We need to stay on good terms with him."

Zachary nodded. "Don't worry, Alice. Mr. Liam is my relative, so we'll get along just fine."

Seeing the admiration in Alice's eyes for Liam, Zachary thought she might be unaware of Liam's darker side. He recognized Liam as a cold-blooded person who wouldn't hesitate to hurt others.

But he kept this to himself, knowing Alice wouldn't believe him anyway.

Since coming to Harmonfield, Liam had always seemed like a modest gentleman, refined and gentle to everyone. Few had witnessed the cruel and deceptive ways he operated behind the scenes.

Zachary's mother had warned him not to get too close to Liam, but at first, he hadn't taken her seriously.

Over time, however, he began to understand that Liam was not just cruel—he was cunning and ruthless.

Unlike Rygar, who was openly brutal but followed some principles, Liam's cruelty was insidious and underhanded.

When Liam returned, he aimed to seize more power within the Hamiltons. He used the Phoenix Vanguard to get rid of all the older members, even pushing his father, Perry, out of the way.

Liam wasn't as gentle and kind as he appeared. He was a ruthless predator.

Once everything was set, Zachary knelt before Alice to propose. At that moment, panic struck her.

Was she going to marry an ordinary guy like Zachary?

She glanced at Liam and felt a wave of reluctance. Her smile started to fade as she imagined how wonderful it would be if Liam were the one proposing.

As Zachary said, "Alice, marry me." All she could picture was Liam proposing instead.

She didn't even hear Zachary's proposal, lost in thoughts of what it would be like to marry into the wealthy Hamiltons.

Noticing Alice's distraction, Zachary felt nervous as the room fell silent. For over a minute, she didn't respond.

At that moment, all she could see was Liam's kind smile, and she unconsciously whispered, "Mr. Liam ... "

Vera snapped her out of it, nudging her. "Alice, Mr. Gill is proposing to you!"

Startled, Alice turned to find Zachary in front of her, holding flowers and a diamond ring.

"Marry me, Alice," he repeated, pleading with her.

Finally snapping back to reality, Alice reluctantly accepted the ring and flowers, forcing a smile that felt bitter.
