If their minor disagreement with Robin infuriated the Wrights, it would undoubtedly result in the Millers” expulsion from the event.
The consequences could potentially be devastating for their family.
“Alice, have you seen Mr. Underwood? He just called and said he’s outside the resort,” Hank said as he approached, his steps shaky.
Alice saw an opportunity to slip away. She turned to Hank and said, “Grandpa, I haven’t met Mr. Underwood. Come over here for a moment.”
She gestured toward Robin and introduced, “This is Robin, the one I broke off my engagement with.”
Hank looked Robin up and down, chuckling lightly. “Oh, you’re still in Harmonfield? Well, Robin, it seems my Alice doesn’t fancy you, so there’s nothing to be done about that.”
He continued, “The engagement your grandfather and I arranged was merely a youthful whim. Don’t take it too seriously.
“If you’re having any trouble in Harmonfield, you’re welcome to come find me,” he added.
“I heard from Alice some time ago that you still haven’t moved on from her.
“That’s understandable, he said with a knowing nod.
“Alice is both beautiful and talented. You must be somewhat tempted by my family’s modest fortune.
“I can guess your thoughts; marrying Alice would shortcut you several decades of hard work, letting you step into high society.
“However, such things can’t be forced,” he continued.
“It’s alright. Although Alice hasn’t taken an interest in you, if you need some money, I can lend you a couple of thousand. That’s something I can help with
“You’ve seen it yourself, my grandson–in–law, Zachary, his family is quite well–off in Harmonfield. You’ll never catch up with him in this lifetime.
“As Alice said, if you truly like her, you should bless them.
“Just work hard, young man. Maybe in a few years, you’ll build your own career, and then you could be earning 3,000 to 5,000 a month. You wouldn’t need my help then.”
Robin regarded Hank, who seemed a bit out of touch. He simply smiled and prepared to walk away.
Alice stepped in front of him, blocking his path. “Hold on! My grandpa is talking to you; why aren’t you saying anything? Robin, hurry up and address him.”

Robin laughed lightly. “He’s your grandfather; why should I address him? Who on earth does he think he
is?”
Hank was momentarily taken aback. “Hey, kid, back in the day, your grandfather and I were good friends!”
Robin replied with a grin. “My grandpa is blind?”
“How can you say that about your grandpa?” Hank exclaimed, indignant..
“I say he’s blind because he sees a beast as a human being. Robin retorted.
“If I meet him again, I would certainly ask how he could mistake a beast for a person!”
Hank trembled with rage. “Y–y–you’re insulting me?”
“I’m not insulting you; I just want to say that there are many people in this world who are even worse than a beast!
Alice jumped in front of Robin and chided, “Robin, how could you be so rude? How can you insult my grandpa?”
With a sharp slap, Rita struck Alice across the face.
“Alice, I’ve warned you before. Disrespect Mr. Ramsey again, and I’ll kill you!
“If it weren’t we’re attending a banquet today, just for that insult to Mr. Ramsey, Ms. West kill you but also ensure your family disappears from Harmonfield forever!”

Daphne cast a cold glance at Hank and Alice, her voice icy. “Rita is right! Hank, do you really think I lack the power to do so?”
Hank hesitated, snorted in frustration, and turned to leave.
Alice and Zachary fell silent, following Hank inside.
“Mr. Underwood!” Hank raised his head and saw Calvin, the president of the Harmonfield’s Holistic Medicine Association. He approached Calvin unsteadily
“Hello, Mr. Underwood! I was looking for you.”
Calvin said with a smile, nodding, “Hank, how have you been feeling over the last few days!”
Hank coughed a few times and said, “After drinking Tilamisa herbal soup. I feel much better than before.
“At first, the soup kept me in excellent condition for a full 24 hours,” he added.
“But now, as keep drinking it, the hours of comfort seem to be shrinking. I can only maintain it for about six or seven hours a day now.”
Calvin frowned and said, “Hank, to be honest, this remedy can only temporarily stabilize your health; it won’t cause any immediate complications. But over time, it will lose its effectiveness against your ailments.

Calvin pondered briefly before responding, T’m not sure. My master will arrive soon. He informed me that the expert should arrive today.
Hank stepped forward, lowering his voice, “Mr. Underwood, may I ask for the name of that expert?”
Calvin replied without hesitation, “His name is Robin.”
Hank’s legs went weak at the sound of that name, nearly causing him to collapse. “Robin?”
