The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227 Eliminate Robin
Alice had come hoping to impress the Quinns, but instead, Kyler had humiliated her. She was furious.

This whole mess was because of Robin.

If that jerk hadn't disrupted the celebration, Kyler wouldn't have lost his temper, and she wouldn't have been kicked out of the hotel by the president of the Martial Alliance. She could have made some valuable connections among Brookhaven's elite.

Yesterday, she had gone to great lengths to get two invitations to this high-profile event from Liam, but things had turned out like this. She'd planned to expand her social network and even hand out invitations for her engagement to Zachary next week.

Now, with the Brookhaven Martial Alliance celebration ruined, that plan had completely fallen apart.

Standing outside the hotel entrance, Alice grew angrier with each passing thought.

"What's wrong, Alice? Let's go," Zachary said, noticing her scowl and guiding her toward the parking lot.

Alice sighed. "Zachary, where are the engagement invitations?"

Zachary pointed at his assistant behind them. "They're in the bag. Since the event didn't happen, we couldn't hand them out."

"It's all Robin's fault!" Alice seethed, glaring at Robin, who was a short distance ahead.

When she spotted Daphne walking beside him, her eyes lit up. "Zachary, look! There's Ms. West! Let's go give her an invitation."

Zachary snapped his fingers, excited. "Oh, I nearly forgot about that."

"Alice, we should give Robin one too. How could our engagement party be complete without him? Hahaha ... "

Alice chuckled along with him. "Great idea, Zachary! I want him there to see the grandeur of our engagement."

"That day, you have to make it extravagant!" Alice added, her eyes glinting. "I want Robin to feel crushed, to know he could never have someone like me. Let him see that I'm someone he'll never possess! Hahaha ... "

Zachary looked toward Robin with a mocking smile. "I can already picture Robin's face when he sees you as my bride—utterly devastated."

Alice sneered. "Then he'll finally understand that he and we aren't even from the same world. Let's go; we should catch up to them."

Zachary and Alice picked up the pace.

"Ms. West, hello!" Alice greeted Daphne respectfully as she and Robin stopped in front of them.

Daphne gave Alice a cold glance, saying nothing.

Undeterred, Alice flattered her. "Ms. West, I've always admired you—you're my absolute role model."

"Oh?" Daphne raised her brow indifferently. "Plenty of people admire me. What do you want?"

Alice quickly pulled out the engagement invitation, offering it with both hands.

"Ms. West, this weekend—on the day after Old Mr. Wright's banquet—Zachary and I are having our engagement ceremony. We'd be honored if you could attend."

Daphne glanced at the invitation Alice was holding out but didn't take it. "I won't be attending."

"Move," Rita said, shoving Alice aside as she followed Daphne.

Alice stood there, embarrassed.

Turning to Vera, she forced a smile. "Vera, it's fortunate that you're here today. I'll give you your invitation now instead of delivering it later."

Alice glanced up at Robin with a playful smirk. "Robin, I hadn't planned to tell you this, but since you're here, let me give you an invitation. Come by and see me in my wedding dress."

"I don't have the time," Robin replied, brushing past Alice and Zachary on his way to the parking lot.

"Robin, stop right there!" Alice shouted at his back in frustration. "I know you're avoiding our engagement because it makes you uncomfortable to see me marrying Zachary!"

"We were nice enough to come give you an invitation so you could attend our engagement party. We're showing you a lot of respect, and this is how you act? Are you still bitter over me ending our engagement?"

"You're so petty! Men like you, with no class, are beneath me!"

Vera let out a wry smile. "Alice, Robin never cared about your breakup in the first place."

"You're about to get married. Why are you still stuck on this? What's the point? Or are you not over Robin?"

Alice scoffed, sneering. "Why would I be hung up on a brute like him?"

"Vera, I can't believe you'd even suggest that. I'd never lower myself for a man like him—we're on completely different levels!"

Vera took a deep breath, clutching her coat tighter. "Fine, Alice, Zachary, I'll be going now. I'll see you on the day of your engagement celebration."

As Alice watched Vera leave, she noticed Vera was wrapped in Robin's coat.

Alice grabbed Vera's arm. "Vera, you and Robin seem close—do you have feelings for him?"

Vera paused, then, catching the irritation in Alice's gaze, nodded. "Yes, I do. Is that a problem?"

"Vera, seriously? How could you be interested in someone like Robin—"
