Chapter 249 Borrowing the Villa on Dawnspire Heights
Vera grew more suspicious the longer she thought about it.
She quickly rushed to the recording equipment, pushing Robin aside and carefully inspecting the system.
However, she did not see anything out of the ordinary.
"Robin, tell me honestly, what have you been up to for so long?"
Robin looked at her with a grin, glancing at her curvaceous figure and slightly confused expression, barely holding back a laugh.
"Why so suspicious?
"I said there's nothing here, just recording your information—what else could I be doing?"
He muttered, "Not like I can see you wearing black under ... " then picked up a glass of water and casually stepped in front of the camera.
Hearing that, Vera's face flushed.
How did he know she was wearing black?
Could the camera actually pick that up?
Leaning closer to the lens, she inspected it, seeing only a regular camera.
Then, as Robin moved in front of the camera, an unexpected scene appeared!
On the monitor, Robin's full physique was on display—fit and lean, every detail crystal clear.
This guy's physique is amazing! He's a dream guy, no doubt! Vera's heart was practically swooning as she watched.
However, in an instant, she let out a scream.
Hadn't she just been in front of the camera the same way?
So Robin had been watching her this whole time!
Realizing what was going on, Vera's heart started racing, her face flushing red.
Like a cat with its tail stepped on, she darted over in a few steps and gave Robin a hard kick.
"Robin, you jerk! Ah! You actually spied on me!"
Just then, Robin casually enjoyed the scene with a cup of water in hand.
Before he could take a sip, Vera kicked him, causing him to stumble and spill the water all over the floor.
"What the hell! Are you nuts? Why'd you kick me out of nowhere?"
"Kick you? Hmph, I'll bite you too!" Vera was like a little cub, sinking her teeth into his wrist.
"You creep, what were you doing just now?" she demanded.
Robin looked at her innocently. "I was recording your info, remember?"
"Why are you biting and kicking me like that? Are you a puppy or something?"
Vera shot Robin an irritated glare.
Vera glared. "You liar! You were using that as an excuse to spy on me!
"This device can see through clothes, and you used it to look at everything!" she accused, scratching at him while he tried to grab her hands.
"Wait, are you saying you saw me naked? How would you know?"
"I just watched you stroll right past the camera, completely exposed!"
Robin sighed, "So we're even now, aren't we? You got a full view of me too, so technically, I'm the one losing out here!"
"You're impossible!" Vera chased him up and down the villa in exasperation.
Just then, Robin's satellite phone buzzed with a message from the Dark Web: the plane ticket was confirmed, and he could board in an hour.
He took her hand with a grin. "All right, all right, I won't mess with you anymore.
"Your body info's all set in the villa's system, so you're free to come and go.
"I'm heading out of Harmonfield for a couple of days to take care of some things."
"Where are you going?" Vera asked, a bit anxious. "Can I come with you?"
"Nope, I'm off on a date with a beautiful woman." Robin quickly left the villa and drove away, leaving Vera stomping her foot in frustration.
"Ugh, Robin, you jerk!"
Just then, the phone on the coffee table started ringing.
Vera glanced over, smiling, "Must be that troublemaker calling."
However, when she picked up, the face on the screen was Alice's, not Robin's.
A bit disappointed, Vera answered, "Alice, what's up?"
Alice sounded mildly annoyed. "Vera, did you forget what you promised me yesterday?"
"Promise?" Vera drew a blank.
"You said you'd help me borrow Villa One of Dawnspire Heights Estates. Vera, don't tell me you forgot!"
Vera suddenly remembered.
"Oh, Alice, of course not!
"Right now, I'm here recording the security setup for the villa. I'll send you a pic so you can see."
She took a quick photo of herself and the surrounding villa, then sent it over.
Alice's eyes widened at the luxurious setting, and she exclaimed, "Vera, you're amazing! I can't believe you actually got it!
"Could I maybe keep it for a while longer?"
Hearing Alice's excitement, Vera chuckled, "Of course.
"Actually, this villa belongs to Robin. Take your time—I'll let him know, and it should be all good."
Alice's initial excitement turned icy.
"Vera, could you please not mention that insufferable guy to me?"
"The owner of a mountaintop villa in Dawnspire Heights Estates—who wouldn't know the kind of status that requires?" She continued sharply.
"Everyone in Harmonfield is aware of that.
"Living there isn't just about money; it takes real standing to qualify.
