“Who was it? Was it Robin again?” Sarah’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she pressed for an answer.
Vera took a sip of water. “Hold on, don’t rush me. Let me tell it properly.
“Sarah, I realized something important from what happened today.
“I finally understand how the Dunn family managed to rise from nothing to become the number one family in Harmonfield in just a few decades!”
Sarah chuckled. “Oh, Vera, look at you getting all philosophical. Go on, tell me what you’ve figured out.”
“It’s all because Mr. Dunn Sr., Drake, is no ordinary man!
“A person, a family, even a corporation–each one needs a code of conduct, a sense of principle.
“Mr. Dunn Sr. and Shirley are people of integrity and loyalty. They would never betray their principles.
“Even if they risk everything, they don’t regret it.
And today proved that the Dunns‘ gamble paid off!”
Sarah still looked puzzled. “Vera, stop being mysterious Just tell me, how did the Dunns manage not to get crushed?”
“Wait! I think I know!” Sarah gasped before Vera could speak
“Everyone in Harmonfield has been saying that Liam has been pursuing Shirley.
“Vera, could it be that Shirley finally agreed to Liam’s advances, and that’s why he held back?”
Sarah’s eyes shone with anticipation. “After all, Mr. Liam is quite the catch. He’s a charismatic, educated young man.
“Not only did he graduate from a prestigious university abroad, but he’s also turned the Hamilton family from a second–tier family into one of Harmonfield’s top four in just a few years.
“If I were Shirley, I’d have said yes to him ages ago!”
Vera shook her head.
“Sarah, the reason you can never be like Shirley is becalise your perspective is so limited compared to
hers.
“Shirley never agreed to be with Liam.
Even with the pressure from Liam and the top ten families from Brookhaven, neither she nor Mr. Dunn Sr, wavered. Their strength and resilience in that moment made me admire them even more.”
Sarah frowned. “If Shirley didn’t agree to Liam, then who helped her?
“Was it Freya from the Wright family?

“Freya is Shirley’s close friend, so maybe she intervened and pulled some strings in the military to scare Liam off temporarily.”
Vera laughed and shook her head.
“Military intervention would have been too crude. And no, it wasn’t the Wrights either.
“It was Robin who saved the Dunns once again!
“Robin is that hero who appears like a beacon of hope in our darkest hour!”
At this, Vera’s eyes sparkled with admiration, almost as if little stars were twinkling in them.
Sarah had already guessed Vera was talking about Robin, but she still didn’t understand how he had managed such a feat.
“Does Robin really have that kind of power?
“Liam had 200 billion in capital, backed by the top ten families from Brookhaven and the support of 50 development partners, all pressing down on the Dunns
“What kind of ability does Robin have to turn the tables on that?”
Vera took another sip of water, her face glowing with pride. “The man I admire is nothing short of extraordinary. What seems impossible to everyone else is a breeze for him.”
Sarah scoffed lightly. “Robin’s always treated you like a buddy, hasn’t he?”
Vera’s smile froze. “Who says that?”
Sarah smirked, “You said it yourself, didn’t you?”
“Did I?” Vera shot her a glare, then her face softened with a dreamy smile.
“He’s my prince.
“I believe my prince is a hero. One day, he’ll come to marry me, dressed in golden armor and riding on a cloud.”
Sarah looked at Vera’s lovestruck expression and chuckled. “Keep dreaming, girl.”
Vera snapped out of her reverie and continued, “Do you know what happened next?”
“Robin managed to make the 200 billion that had already gone into Liam’s account magically transfer into the Dunns‘ account.
“And in just two and a half minutes, he destroyed the Lander Realty Group!
“It was epic!”
“What?” Sarah’s jaw dropped. That’s unbelievable!”
*Sarah, I was honestly sweating bullets for the Dunns and for Robin, but I was powerless to help.

“Who could’ve known that this disaster would be transformed by Robin into a magnificent victory?”
“The Dunns Eastvale Ecological Project got 200 billion in funding. The Landers and Hamiltons were taken down. The assets of the top ten families from Brookhaven shrank by more than half, and the 50 developers, led by Gideon, are now buried in debt they’ll never repay.
“Sarah, wasn’t my prince’s move absolutely brilliant?”
Sarah glanced at Vera’s proud expression, a flash of jealousy flickering in her eyes.
I need to find a way to get close to Robin.
I have to win this man over!
“Vera, it’s getting late. You should go help Alice with her engagement preparations, Sarah urged, worried that Robin would arrive any moment.
Vera stood up and slipped on her shoes. “You’re right, Sarah. I’ll head over now. Wrap up any loose ends at the office, and head home to rest afterward.”
Alright, off you go.” Sarah watched Vera’s hurried departure with a cold smile.
“Ha, who do you think you are to deserve all of this?
“You don’t have your mother’s love, and your father doesn’t care about you. What makes you think you should have more than me?
“I refuse to accept this. I won’t let you be happier than me!”
