Chapter 59 Saving Face; Losing Ground
Vera struggled to shake off Brody
“Let go of me! I swear, if you lay a finger on us today, the Devil will chop you to pieces!”
Brody paused, surprised that this woman knew Shawn’s name.
But then he laughed, thinking, how could Shawn possibly know someone like her?
“Ha! Nice try, trying to scare me. Go ahead and call him. Let’s see if he even picks up for you!”
He shoved his phone in front of Vera, displaying Shawn’s number.
“Go on, just hit send, and you’ll connect with Mr. Cooper”

Seeing the situation before her, Vera realized that without Robin stepping in, there was no way out of this.
Seeing the nervous expressions on Vera and the others, Brody concluded that what Vera had said earlier was just meant to confuse him.
He pressed the call button for Shawn himself.
On the other end, the Devil’s deep voice came through, “What’s going on? Brody, what the hell are you. calling me for in the middle of the day?
Brody quickly started buttering him up. “Mr. Cooper, I know you’ve been resting and feeling bored lately, so I thought I’d bring you a couple of pretty girls to chat with. This one says she knows you. Just wanted to
confirm.
He grinned at Vera, “Why don’t you say a few words to Mr. Cooper? Didn’t you say you knew him? Do you think you
can bluff me! Let’s go. You’re coming back with me to serve Mr. Cooper! Or you’ll regret it for the rest of your life!”
A few of his buddies moved in to grab Vera and Alice, trying to pull them away.
In a panic, Vera shouted, “Robin, aren’t you going to come help us?”
Robin had no intention of getting involved.
But thinking about how Vera came here with him, he felt a bit responsible.
He turned and walked up to Brody, snatched the phone away, and said into the mic.
“The Devil, huh? This is Robin. Are you looking to die?
On the other end, the Devil’s tone changed instantly. “Mr. Ramsey, I had no idea it was you! Don’t worry. I’ll handle this right away!”
Robin tossed the phone back into Brody’s lap, “Tell Devil to be at the Four Seas Entertainment World in an hour. If he’s even a minute late, I’ll take his life!”
With that, he turned and walked into the lobby.

Hearing Robin’s name made Brody’s legs turn to jelly

On the other end, the Devil shouted, “What the hell. Body? Are you trying to get me killed? Let them go.
At that moment, Elam walked in from outside the lobby
“My Call, Ms. Miller, you got here first. I’ve got something to take care of. Wait for me at the coffee shop on thur second floor in ten minutes?
After saving that, he hurried inside with a few bodyguards.
Now wearing a smile, Brody said, “Sorry, this is all a misunderstanding. Ladies, my apologies for the trouble”
With that, he took off running from Oasis Plaza.
Alice stood there momentarily, taking a long breath as she admired Liam’s retreating figure until he disappeared into the elevator.
“Thank goodness Mr. Hamilton showed up in time, or it would’ve been a real mess.”
Zachary puffed up with pride. “Of course! Mr. Hamilton’s name carries weight in Harmonfield. What’s the Devil compared to him?”
“Let’s hurry to the coffee shop; Mr. Hamilton’s time is valuable,” Alice said, glancing at the time and pulling Zachary toward the elevator.
“Wait a minute! Robin just saved us, and no one even said thank you?” Vera complained, glaring at Alice’s
hack
Alice paused, looking toward Robin in the distance, scoffing, “Vera, you’re giving him too much credit. Do you really think the Devil let us go just because of Robin’s name?
“If Mr. Hamilton hadn’t shown up, you think the Devil’s guys would have let us off the hook? Please, he’s nothing!”
Vera was left speechless. “Fine, if that’s how you feel.”
Alice noticed Vera’s blank expression and shook her head. “Vera, you’re too far gone. Wake up! One day, when Robin sells you off, you won’t even see it coming
“Ugh, you should mind your own business.”
With that, she shot one last disappointed glance at Vera and sighed, dragging Zachary toward the elevator.
Vera glared at the two of them and muttered,
Are you blind or what? Fine, fine, think what you want!”
After a brief moment of irritation, Vera felt her mood brighten again.
Alice, I might’ve missed this opportunity if you weren’t so clueless!
