Chapter 270 You Disappoint Me
Does Ms. Harlow know Robin?
Roland was taken aback by the scene before him.
From the way they spoke, it appeared that the two had known each other for quite some time.
If that were true, today's situation has just become more complicated.
Roland quickly assessed the various relationships and their implications in his mind.
He glanced again at Adrian, who was wrapped up in his wheelchair.
He realized that the president of the Grimwolf Crew was utterly done for.
Even if he survived, he could never reclaim his position as the leader.
The Harlows would never trust a cripple to handle their affairs.
In this case, the matter of Robin shooting and seriously injuring Adrian depended on the attitude of the Harlows.
Anna's chilly and distant greeting snapped Robin back to his senses.
Before him stood the aloof Ms. Harlow, no longer the fresh-faced girl with short hair from years ago.
Her once-radiant smile had long since vanished, lost to the drizzling twilight of that evening seven years ago.
As Anna extended her hand, Robin made no move to respond.
Instead, he smiled indifferently, saying, "Life is full of surprises."
Anna awkwardly pulled back her hand, raising her gaze to scrutinize him.
Observing his nonchalant demeanor, a flash of annoyance and disdain flickered in her eyes.
"I just got back to Terenova after studying in Autreynia," Anna remarked, eyeing Robin again. "What have you been doing all these years?"
Robin shrugged nonchalantly. "Oh, nothing importand, just spent a few years hanging out in Fricana."
Anna's disdain deepened. "After all this time, how did you end up like this?"
"Is that so? Does this really bother you?" Robin said with a teasing smile, glancing at Darren beside him.
Anna shook her head with a dismissive huff and turned her gaze to Darren.
Darren lowered his head, the joy in his eyes fading instantly.
He didn't expect Anna's meeting with Robin would turn out like this.
Every word oozed arrogance and disdain.
Brenda was taken aback!
She never imagined that seven years later, Anna would become so unfamiliar.
At that moment, her heart ached for her.
Because she could see the fleeting disappointment and sadness in Robin's eyes.
"Ms. Harlow, do you know him?"
Adrian, wrapped in bandages and sitting in a wheelchair, was pushed toward Anna by a few subordinates.
Anna replied flatly, "Just an acquaintance from seven years ago."
Darren furrowed his brow in surprise.
He looked up at the aloof Anna, a bittersweet smile crossing his face.
She actually called Robin just an acquaintance from seven years ago?
Those words made him feel heartbroken.
Darren instinctively turned to Robin.
He recalled how, back then, Robin and Anna were the perfect couple of Dreamscape Bar.
They brought joy to their colleagues and customers, who quietly wished for their lifelong happiness together.
Even if circumstances had kept them from being lifelong partners, they shouldn't have fallen so far as to become nothing more than acquaintances!
Robin couldn't help but laugh at himself.
