Chapter 36 Don’t Be So Smug, Robin
Before Miranda could even utter a word, Crystal had already dashed over to Cecilia.
“Hi, Ms. Decker. We admire you so much, and just wanted to say hi.”
With that, Crystal grabbed Miranda’s arm and hurried away.
“Crystal, what on earth are you doing? | finally got a chance to talk to Cecilia, and now you’re dragging me away?”
After they were some distance away, Miranda freed herself from Crystal, clearly frustrated.
Looking back at Cecilia in the distance, Miranda found her now obscured by the crowd.
“Miranda, are you out of your mind? Can't you see that Cecilia treats Robin with respect?”
Miranda witnessed Cecilia and Robin walk away. She scoffed, “That jerk. He must have used some trick to deceive Cecilia.”
“Miranda, can’t you be objective?” Crystal sighed. “Even if Cecilia was deceived by Robin, do you really think that going over and telling her now would make her believe you?
“Perhaps Cecilia would think you’re just slandering Robin, and then you'd end up in trouble.”
“Who in Hallcester doesn’t know what happens when you offend Cecilia, the owner of the Purpeak Club?” Chapte 38 01 Be So Smug, Robin
Miranda fell silent, reflecting on her impulsive actions just moments ago. She broke out in a cold sweat, “Crystal, you're a true friend, | was just so annoyed by that damn Robin.”
They elbowed their way out of the crowd.
To her surprise, Miranda saw Cecilia taking a towel from Livia and then handing it respectfully to Robin. At the same time, Karina came from behind.
Cecilia and Livia, surrounded by a group of hot maids and bodyguards, were by Robin’s side.
Ahint of surprise flickered in Karina’s beautiful eyes.
After Robin finished wiping his hands, he handed the towel back to Livia.
Cecilia stepped forward, brushing away a speck of dust from the lapel of his suit.
Then, with another touch, she straightened Robin’s slightly askew tie.
Seeing Robin act so casually as if it were perfectly normal, Karina boldly pushed aside Livia and the maids, taking hold of Robin's arm and guiding him towards the elevator.
“Why... why are you dragging me away? Let go of me.” Robin was taken aback by Karina’s unexpected act. Karina was incredibly assertive.
Every time she acted, she never notified Robin and just got things done.

Karsyn followed suit, jogging along behind them.
Robin was somewhat like a lamb being led to the slaughter, as he was taken into the elevator by Karina. Miranda couldn’t help but chuckie.
Cecilia and everyone else were momentarily stunned.
Then, after a brief moment of shock, Cecilia hurriedly followed suit, leading her maids.
An incredibly bizarre scene appeared on the twenty-eighth floor of the Purpeak Convention Center. Agroup of beautiful women were chasing after Robin.
On each of their faces, there was a different expression.
“What's going on here?”
“Ms. Huber and Ms. Decker vying for Robin's attention?”
“How does this guy manage to attract such attention? Is he that lucky to have such bold admirers?” Miranda, watching from afar, was puzzled.
What was going on?
Was it some kind of illusion?
How could a guy with no background and no stable career be the center of attention wherever he went? What kind of trickery had Robin employed to bewitch two beauties in Hallcester?
Crystal, too, was profoundly taken aback by the spectacle.

Perhaps this was his magic. Robin must possess something extraordinary.
“Robin, what are you up to?” Miranda muttered in frustration, gritting her teeth.
“The most subtle tricks are still just tricks.
“No matter what kind of tactics you use to deceive others, eventually, your true colors will show.” Crystal let out a sigh, “Well, let’s not jump to conclusions.”
“I'm not making things up. Robin is the kind of guy who seeks attention by causing trouble.” Miranda fumed, glaring indignantly in the direction of the elevator.
Crystal chuckled softly, “Miranda, think about it. Does a man who can defeat Bucher need to resort to deceit? Even if Robin is now in a tough spot, with his abilities, he can still make it to the upper class.”
“Crystal, why are you always defending him?” Miranda shot Crystal a disgruntled look.
“Alright, alright, | won't bring it up anymore, Miranda.”
“And don’t dwell on it too much.
“Whether Robin is good or bad, whether he’s a liar or genuinely
skillful, it's not your concern.
“You've already moved on, so why hold onto these negative feelings?
“Besides, it was you who broke off the engagement first.”
Chapter 36 Don’t Be So Smug, Robin
Miranda huffed, “Who said I’m holding onto anything? Even if he has some talent, so what? He’s just a reckless man. “I'd never consider someone like him. He may have brawn, but no brain.”
“I'm just angry that he managed to deceive Cecilia and Ms. Huber.”
“How can someone like him, a nobody, enjoy such privileges?”
Crystal shook her head.
“Miranda, even if you can’t be in a romantic relationship, you should still be kind to him. Robin’s grandfather once provided help to your family.
“You shouldn't harbor such strong curses and hatred.”
“Okay, okay, | won’t argue with you about this, Crystal. | don’t know what's gotten into you,” Miranda huffed. “Miranda, Crystal, there you are. I’ve been looking for you.” Jacob approached from the lounge.
“| have great news for you. My dad got confirmation from Nathen that he’s agreed to allocate a part of the Eastern Business District to our family. The estimated market value of that project is over 100 million dollars.”
Miranda and Crystal were both amazed.
“Jacob, you read about that cooperation contract from the Reynell family, right? It’s essentially a disguised acquisition. Doesn’t your father realize that?” Miranda inquired.
Jacob smiled mysteriously, “Just so you know, our agreement is not about that contract. It’s a different one. Chapter 36 Dont Be So Smug, Robin
“The content of the contract simply involves outsourcing, with no controlling ownership clause.
“The only requirement is that the project aligns with the type of investment the Reynell Group needs.
“Don't worry, guys. Once there’s a chance, I'll have my dad speak to Nathen to see if he can allocate a small share to your families.”
Excitedly, Miranda said, “Jacob, then please pass our thanks to your father.”
“Crystal, does the Thompson family need any assistance? Maybe, Jacob’s father can help you be part of the Eastern Business District?”
Crystal waved her hand hurriedly, “I don’t get involved in family business matters.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“And besides, | don’t think it’s appropriate to reach out to Nathen. I’d better stay away from this.” Karina dragged Robin along, walking briskly to the entrance hall of the Purpeak Club.
“Ms. Huber, could you please stop pulling me like this? It seems I’m being kidnapped by you.”
Karina glanced behind her. Cecilia’s group hadn’t come down yet. She let out a sigh of relief. “I always feel like Cecilia has some ulterior motive.
“I'm afraid you are charmed by her.”
Robin said, “Do | look like that type of person? What could she possibly charm me with?” Chapter 36 Don’t Be So Smug, Robin
Karina frowned slightly, “She has been behaving strangely.”
“She invited you for tea before. Just now, she handed you a towel and straightened your bowtie. “She’s being incredibly attentive to you. There must be some hidden agenda.
“I'm the one who brought you here today. So naturally, | need to take responsibility for you.”
With that, Karina’s voice suddenly trailed off and her cheeks reddened.
