The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7 Where Would I Stand?
As Robin heard Shirley's words, spoken with an alluring confidence, he instinctively tightened his grip on his collar.

It was as though he was silently declaring to Shirley, I have my standards. I won't just accept anyone who throws themselves at me ...

The unexpected turn of events stunned the guests at the Millers' New Year's party.

She is Shirley, the highly respected granddaughter of the Dunns, the CEO of Dunns Group, and arguably the most beautiful woman in Harmonfield!

What is she doing? Is she really about to ...

"Robin, I want you to be my boyfriend!" Shirley's cheeks flushed with a soft pink, and her eyes twinkled as she spoke with sincere emotion.

The hall erupted into gasps and whispered conversations!

Shirley was publicly declaring her feelings for Robin, a man recently discarded by Alice.

How could someone like Robin capture the interest of Harmonfield's most sought-after beauty, the only granddaughter of the Dunns?

Alice remained motionless, experiencing a surge of unease.

At that moment, she wished she could lash out at Robin.

This New Year's party should have been her moment to shine and be the center of attention.

Yet Robin's arrival had turned it into an ordeal of embarrassment for her!

What stung even more was that the very Robin she had rejected so coldly was now being honored by the Dunns.

And Shirley had openly declared her affection for him in front of everyone.

Could it be that she has made a grave mistake, jeopardizing my own future?

No way!

My judgment has always been sound!

With Robin's appearance and manner, he is not worthy of me!

I'm destined to be a figure of grandeur, akin to Daphne, the CEO of Alphacrest Group!

I know what's going on.

Robin must have used some trick to fool the Dunns.

That's why Mr. Dunn Sr. regards him as an esteemed guest.

The Dunns must have been deceived!

Robin, ha!

One day, when the Dunns see through your deceit, you'll be discarded before you even know it!

Nevertheless, the astonishing scene left the partygoers utterly speechless.

Especially the wealthy heirs in attendance.

They had cursed Robin in their minds a thousand times.

That lucky brat! I can't believe Shirly, our dream girl, is asking him to be her boyfriend!

Why couldn't I have had such luck?

Despite their private thoughts, no one dared to speak out of line.

Every eye was on Robin, filled with a mix of admiration and fear.

The truth was evident: Regardless of Robin's past status or identity, if he were to become a son-in-law of the Dunns, he would gain immense respect throughout Harmonfield!

However, something even more infuriating was about to unfold.

Robin stared at Shirley, whose eyes gleamed with intense emotion, and after a moment of hesitation, replied, "I can't give you an answer right now. Let's discuss it later."

What the heck!

The entire party was on the verge of erupting into chaos!

Robin, could you stop with the pretense already?

This level of arrogance deserves to be put in its place!
