The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Apologize to Mr Gill Right Now!
Alice scoffed quietly to herself, thinking, "Some people just can't let go of their pride and end up paying the price. He'll regret this decision when he gets home!"

At that moment, a commotion stirred at the entrance to the hall.

The crowd parted to make way.

Drake Dunn and Shirley Dunn, accompanied by Andrew Dunn, made their entrance.

Andrew discreetly pointed out Robin to Drake, saying, "Mr. Dunn Sr., Mr. Ramsey is over there."

Drake's eyes brightened as he quickly moved toward Robin.

The guests, who had been mocking Robin, fell silent in astonishment upon seeing Drake and Shirley arrive.

"Mr. Dunn Sr. and Ms. Dunn are actually here at the Millers' New Year's party!"

The Millers' expressions changed to delight as they rushed forward to greet their distinguished guests.

Jeffrey approached Drake with evident excitement. "Mr. Dunn Sr., Ms. Dunn, it's a tremendous honor to have you at our New Year's celebration!"

Alice also smiled, giving a slight bow. "Mr. Dunn Sr., Ms. Dunn, welcome! Please make yourselves comfortable!"

Drake's face remained stern as he ignored Jeffrey and Alice's flattery, making a beeline for Robin.

Earlier, Andrew had confirmed Robin's presence at the Millers' party and notified Drake and Shirley.

They had waited for the opportune moment to make their entrance, as they saw that Robin and Alice were still handling matters regarding the engagement.

When Robin tore up the engagement contract and the one-million-dollar check, Drake and Shirley exchanged relieved glances.

Their understanding of Robin deepened.

The Millers were oblivious to Drake's simmering anger.

The arrival of the Dunns had completely captivated the Millers!

The Dunns' significant investment in the Eastvale Ecological Project, worth hundreds of billions and set to launch next month, was highly anticipated.

The Millers had long sought to secure a stake in the project but had struggled to connect with the Dunns.

Now, with both Drake and Shirley, the key leaders of the Eastvale project, present at the Millers' New Year's party, it was a golden opportunity for them.

Over the years, the Dunns have graced only a handful of high-profile events in Harmonfield.

It was almost unthinkable for them to attend a second-tier family's New Year's party like the Millers'.

The Dunns were the most influential family in Harmonfield, controlling a major portion of the city's resources.

Even the mayor of Harmonfield showed them respect.

The party guests were equally thrilled.

Being in the same venue as the Dunns was a prestigious event.

Such an occasion would be a major talking point for these second- and third-tier families.

"Mr. Dunn Sr., the hall might be a little noisy. There are private rooms on the second floor ... " Jeffrey and the Millers' entourage followed Drake and Shirley respectfully.

Drake replied curtly, "The Millers have set their standards too high. We don't need to go to the second floor. I'm just here simply to look for someone."

Jeffrey hesitated, unsure of Drake's purpose.

"Mr. Ramsey, I apologize for the interruption!" Drake approached Robin and bowed deeply.

"I'd like to invite you for a drink at my house."

Robin was momentarily surprised and responded nonchalantly, "I'm not interested in visiting, and I don't enjoy drinking with others."

With that, he turned and headed towards the exit.

The Millers and the party guests were left stunned.

Mr. Dunn Sr. invited Robin to his home?

How could that possibly be true?

In Harmonfield, only Henry Wright, the mayor, and Daphne, the CEO of Alphacrest Group, command such significant respect.

Did Mr. Dunn Sr. mistake him for someone else?

Robin is just a lowly individual dismissed by the Millers.

How could the Dunns possibly invite someone of such insignificant status to their home?

It's astonishing that Robin had the nerve to flatly reject the invitation!
