Chapter 58 The Price of Misjudgment
Vera scrambled into the car, afraid that Robin would drive off without her.
“Ugh, seriously? My shoe heel broke, and you can’t even help me out a bit?”
#5 Free Going
Robin shot a glance at her bare foot, raising an eyebrow “Why are you still wearing the other shoe?”
“Uh!” Vera frozen for a moment and looked down at her feet.
This guy doesn’t care that I’ve been walking barefoot in this cold. Instead of showing some concern, he points out something so trivialt
Ihat the heck!
Doesn’t my beauty even slightly attract you?
“Ah!” Realizing this, Vera suddenly shouted.
She was nearly losing it and flung off her other shoe in frustration.
Robin shrugged. “You sure have a temper.”
With a stomp on the gas, he sped toward Ridge Road’s Four Seas Entertainment World.
Vera exhaled sharply, comforting herself that getting upset with this kind of guy only hurt herself.
“Hey, there’s an Oasis Plaza across from the Four Seas Entertainment World.”
Robin glanced over at Vera. “What are you getting at?”
She pointed at her shoe. “I mean, I can’t show up at Knox’s place wearing your man shoes, right?
“By the time we arrive, it’ll probably be close to lunchtime.
“We should buy a pair of shoes first before heading to the Davidsons’s Entertainment World. Robin nodded. “Sounds good. I’m not keen on dragging around a woman wearing slippers.”
Just then, his phone rang–it was Shirley,
“Robin, tomorrow morning, the Dunn Group is holding the on–site signing event for the Eastvale Ecological Project. You’ve got to be there.”
I’m not getting involved with your Dunn Group business,” Robin replied flatly.
Shirley continued, “We’ve established an Eastside Project Development Company, and I’ve announced you as the president
“Tomorrow at nine, the board members and executive of the new company will hold their first meeting in Conference Room No. Fat the Dunn Group. You can’t oss it

“But you have to do this, President.”
“Why? Are you doing this to make me look good? There’s really no need!” Robin replied with a smile.
“It’s not just for show, Robin. I really need your help for a while. Shirley’s voice turned almost pleading.
“I’m under so much pressure right now. After my father got sick, I took over the Dunn Group, and it’s been chaotic.
“My grandfather is aging, and his health is deteriorating. Many people are watching us closely.
“I need you to help me out for a bit.
“Recently, the Hamiltons have been making moves that are basically aimed at us.
“By publicly sabotaging Liam’s contract, you’ve kicked off a direct conflict between the Hamiltons and the
Dunns
“You can’t just stir up trouble and then run away.”
Robin hesitated, “Well… alright. But I’m not going to sit around in an office every day, and I won’t deal with boring business stuff.
Shirley chuckled quietly. “Don’t worry, you’ll have plenty of freedom. You’ll just need to show your face at some necessary occasions–like tomorrow’s board meeting; just be there for a bit.”
Robin pondered momentarily before agreeing, “Fine, since it’s that simple, I’ll be there on time.
“Wait, don’t hang up yet. I have one more thing.” Shirley said, taking a deep breath.
“Are you free tonight? Come over for dinner. My grandfather wants to invite you over.”
Robin almost said no.
But realizing that Drake likely invited him for Timothy’s health issues, he replied, “Okay, but I might be a little late.
Shirley sounded genuinely happy on the other end, her voice brightening. “Great! I’ll be waiting for you tonight.”
Listening to her sweet voice, Robin felt his grip on the steering wheel tremble slightly.
Wow, this woman has such a lovely voice!
Am I really trembling?
Looks like women can really affect my composure!
“Wow!” Vera observed the entire phone call, astonished
“Ms. Dunn actually invited you to be the president of the Dunn Group’s Eastvale Development Group!

Hey, Robin, what are you thinking? The Four Seas Entertainment World is ahead, and there’s ans underground parking lot diagonally across Vera reminded him
At that moment, Robin received a message from the Dark Web Intelligence Center
“Tracker, the assassin of the Rivers family from Sakurania, Gage Harlan and Weston Slare, disciples of the Northern Star Sword School”
“They’ve been monitored by the Draconia security department upon entry
Assassin from the Rivers family!
Looks like these two are here because of the Soul–Eating Charm on Daphne
After parking in the garage, Vera, still in her slippers, followed Robin into the women’s shoe section on the
first floor of Oasis Plaza.
Robin was Jost in thought about the two assassins from the Rivers family when Alice approached him, blocking his path.
“Robin, are you for real? You’re like a shadow, always showing up wherever I am.
“Back at the Miller Group building, I clearly told you we’re not on the same level anymore. Our engagement is off, we’re going our separate ways”
Robin looked at Alice and Zachary, shook his head, and chuckled lightly, too lazy to engage with them further. He simply tried to walk past.
Vera rushed to explain, “Alice, you’re overthinking this. Robin is just here to buy shoes with me. What a coincidence.”
“Vera, don’t make excuses for him. There are plenty of places to buy shoes; why come to Oasis Plaza?” Alice scoffed.
“You know we’re meeting Mr. Hamilton at the Mugshot Café in the Oasis Plaza, right? You followed us on purpose, didn’t you? Hat
“I absolutely detest men who cling on like this!”
“Oh, come on! He’s really not here to chase after you,” Vera shook her head in frustration.

Alice looked infuriated, taking two steps forward to block Robin again.
She pointed at him in front of a crowd of onlookers and declared, “Robin, I would never be interested in loser like you! Please stop bothering me from now on, okay?”
Robin gazed at Alice’s overly annoyed expression as if his mere presence was a disgrace to hee

her.
Not wanting to waste breath on this foolish woman, Robin tried to sidestep her, but Alice blocked his path.
“Robin, let me remind you again–a man should know his place!”
“Get lost!” Robin shoved past Alice. “You’re really quite sick!”
“Miss, don’t be upset! I’ve got you covered, let’s go have some fun!” A group of four or five burly men closed in around Alice, pulling her along.
Alice was momentarily stunned, shouting. “Mr. Gill! Vera!”
Vera quickly nudged Zachary, “You have to stop them!
Zachary was also dumbfounded.
He knew these guys were from the Abyssal Dominion, Shawn Cooper’s crew!
He still hadn’t paid off the debt he owed them.
“Vera, they… they’re the Devil’s people!” Zachary said in a panic.
“Well, we still have to stop them!” Vera dragged Zachary and rushed in front of them. “You guys stop! Let her go!”
“Damn! We’re having a lucky day today, haha! Come on, let’s take this lady along too!” One of the guys with yellow hair was Brody Steele. He leered at Vera, an indecent grin spreading across his face.
