The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258 What's Wrong with Robin?
Robin acknowledged Marrisa with a polite nod, though he didn't say much more.

He shared anecdotes from his experiences in Fricana, hoping to alleviate some of her concerns.

As a compassionate woman struggling to raise Brenda in such harsh circumstances, Marrisa faced relentless exploitation from corrupt officials and con artists each day.

How could she possibly consider engaging with individuals like Hugh and Nico?

For her, it was a matter of survival—paying them off occasionally just to maintain some semblance of peace.

The thought of fighting back had never even crossed her mind.

Now that Robin had returned from the gambling den with an impressive 300,000 dollars, how could Marrisa accept this money?

She was all too aware that Hugh and Nico would not take this lightly.

Accepting their funds could mean sacrificing her peace and inviting further troubles into her life.

Robin understood her predicament as well.

Before he had even entered that gambling den, he had resolved to assist Marrisa with her issues before departing.

He would never allow her and Brenda, two kind-hearted women, to come to harm.

Marrisa gestured for Alison to take a seat.

Alison stood frozen at the doorway, still dazed by her unexpected encounter with Robin.

The atmosphere in the small soup restaurant became tense and awkward.

Brenda paused, sensing a connection between Alison and Robin.

"Alison, do you know Robin?"

"Uh ... yeah!" Alison replied, still unsure whether to step inside or retreat.

"What's going on, Robin?" Brenda prodded him.

"Oh, we met briefly on the plane," Robin stated flatly, showing little emotion.

At that moment, Alison's feelings were a tangled mess.

From the instant she laid eyes on Robin, she felt an undeniable spark of attraction.

His impressive ability to handle the four men from Demberoa during the flight had ignited a desire within her to know him better, which led her to eagerly give him her business card.

However, as soon as she exited the airport and viewed him in a different context, her dreams were shattered.

She never imagined that someone as capable, charming, and well-groomed as Robin could be a kept man, dependent on the wealth of an older woman—Stephanie, the powerful eldest daughter of the Rogarios family, to be precise.

Alison looked at Robin with a blend of disdain and fear, taken aback by how familiar he seemed with Brenda and her family.

Seeing him comfort Marrisa only deepened her confusion about what kind of man he truly was.

"Alison, what's happened between you two?" Brenda asked, noticing the bewildered expression on Alison's face.

Alison and Brenda had crossed paths two years ago when Alison worked for Brookhaven Airlines, handling the direct flights from Harmonfield to Terenova.

During her layovers in Terenova, she often wandered through Chinatown.

After her first bowl of soup at Marrisa's, she was hooked.

Every time she returned to Terenova, she made it a point to stop by for another bowl.

Over time, she grew close to Marrisa and Brenda, the mother-daughter pair.

With only a slight age difference, Alison and Brenda quickly developed a strong friendship, sharing everything with each other.

Today, the unexpected return of Robin, who had been absent for seven years, brought immense joy to Brenda.

When Alison alled, she immediately had the idea to pair her with Robin.

In her eyes, the dashing Robin and the stunning Alison were an ideal couple.

However, it seemed the chemistry between them was lacking.
