But then he laughed, thinking, how could Shawn possibly know someone like her? "Ha! Nice try, trying to scare me. Go ahead and call him. Let's see if he even picks up for you!" He shoved his phone in front of Vera, displaying Shawn's number.
"Go on, just hit send, and you'll connect with Mr. Cooper" +5 Free Coins Seeing the situation before her, Vera realized that without Robin stepping in, there was no way out of this.

"Mr. Cooper, I know you've been resting and feeling bored lately, so I thought I'd bring you a couple of pretty girls to chat with. This one says she knows you. Just wanted to confirm.
He grinned at Vera, "Why don't you say a few words to Mr. Cooper? Didn't you say you knew him? Do you think you can bluff me! Let's go. You're coming back withto serve Mr. Cooper! Or you'll regret it for the rest of your life!" A few of his buddies moved in to grab Vera and Alice, trying to pull them away.
In a panic, Vera shouted, "Robin, aren't you going to chelp us?" Robin had no intention of getting involved.
But thinking about how Vera chere with him, he felt a bit responsible.

"The Devil, huh? This is Robin. Are you looking to die? On the other end, the Devil's tone changed instantly. "Mr. Ramsey, I had no idea it was you! Don't worry. I'll handle this right away!" Robin tossed the phone back into Brody's lap, "Tell Devil to be at the Four Seas Entertainment World in an hour. If he's even a minute late, I'll take his life!"

At that moment, Elam walked in from outside the lobby "My Call, Ms. Miller, you got here first. I've got something to take care of. Wait forat the coffee shop on thur second floor in ten minutes? After saving that, he hurried inside with a few bodyguards.
Now wearing a smile, Brody said, "Sorry, this is all a misunderstanding. Ladies, my apologies for the trouble" With that, he took off running from Oasis Plaza.
Alice stood there momentarily, taking a long breath as she admired Liam's retreating figure until he disappeared into the elevator.
"Thank goodness Mr. Hamilton showed up in time, or it would've been a real mess." Zachary puffed up with pride. "Of course! Mr. Hamilton's ncarries weight in Harmonfield. What's the Devil compared to him?" "Let's hurry to the coffee shop; Mr. Hamilton's tis valuable," Alice said, glancing at the tand pulling Zachary toward the elevator.
"Wait a minute! Robin just saved us, and no one even said thank you?" Vera complained, glaring at Alice's hack Alice paused, looking toward Robin in the distance, scoffing, "Vera, you're giving him too much credit. Do you really think the Devil let us go just because of Robin's name? "If Mr. Hamilton hadn't shown up, you think the Devil's guys would have let us off the hook? Please, he's nothing!" Vera was left speechless. "Fine, if that's how you feel." Alice noticed Vera's blank expression and shook her head. "Vera, you're too far gone. Wake up! One day, when Robin sells you off, you won't even see it coming "Ugh, you should mind your own business." With that, she shot one last disappointed glance at Vera and sighed, dragging Zachary toward the elevator. Vera glared at the two of them and muttered, Are you blind or what? Fine, fine, think what you want!" After a brief moment of irritation, Vera felt her mood brighten again.
Alice, I might've missed this opportunity if you weren't so clueless! 2/4 10 15 Sat, Nov 16 Chapter 59 Saving Face, Losing Ground She dashed off in Robin's direction, "Robin, wait up After buying a pair of shoes and checking the time, Ver pointed upstairs, "You're treatingto dinner. I know this food court has tons of delicious food" Rohm gave her a puzzled look. "I'm not really into treading people to meals" Vera froze for a moment. Why does he always have to run the mood? It drivescrazy! She glared at him, thinking, you're living in that fancy villa at Dawnspire Peak, and yet you're so stingy Seriously? Is that how rich people save their money? "Fine, you win. I'll treat you! Damn it!" They reached the food court on the third floor.
Just as they walked in, a girl's voice cfrom behind them.
"Hey, what a coincidence! Running into you again? I was just thinking when I could invite you to dinner. Robin turned to see young two women.
One of them was Rosalie, the girl in the plaid dress he'd met at the doughnut stall that morning, and she looked thrilled to see him.
t The other girl, around the sage, had a wary and disdainful look in her eyes.
Robin smiled and nodded. "Yeah, it really is a coincidence." Rosalie quickly introduced, "This is my classmate, Piper Dawson." Then, she pulled Piper closer. This is the guy I told you about, the one I ran into this morning." Piper scanned Robin without a hint of expression, glancing at Vera's still-untaken slipper, and gave a dismissive nod.
Rosalie cheerfully said, "Robin, lettreat you to lunch today." Before Robin could respond, Piper interrupted, "Rosalie, what are you talking about? "Connor will be here soon. He won't be happy if he sees us eating with low-class people.
"Connor Whitman is the group leader of the sales department at the Dunn Development Company. He hates mingling with people outside his circle.
Rosalie glanced nervously at Robin and whispered to Piper, "Really? Plus, Robin might not be who you think he is."
Piper let out a dismissive snort.

"Besides, how do you know he's not just pretending to be a hero to get close to you? 34 Chapter 59 Saving Face, Losing Ground "He could've easily staged that whole rescue this morning.
"I've seen it happen before, guys often get friendly with my female classmates first just to comerse with "Piper, you're overthinking it Rosalie said, her mouth agape in shock, unsure how to respond She already knew that Piper's dream was to marry into wealth.
That's why she had always put in a lot of effort.
And she was meticulously crafting her image.
But she didn't have to think so lowly of others, did she? Upon hearing Piper's words, Robin and Vera were equally taken aback and turned to look at her.
The girl was indeed stunning, but she wasn't as exceptional as she portrayed herself to be.
It wasn't like every man in the world was scheming to impress her.
Vera couldn't help but sigh.
The president of the Eastvale Development Company under the Dunn Group was right before her, and she was worried about him ruining her friend's lunch? The friend she idolized didn't even have the right to carry Robin's shoes! Seriously? I can't stand your stupidity! Robin didn't want to engage with them any further, so he nodded at Rosalie and headed deeper into the food court.
"Wait up, Robin! I really want to treat URM you to lunch." Rosalie called, quickening her pace to catch up. Piper held her back.XRosalie, he's playing hard to get. He's acting like he doesn't care but is not as indifferent as he seems. There are plenty of guys like that." Rosalie looked at Robin's retreating figure, murmuring, No way?"
lously? You're such a naive girl: it's easy for you to get fooled!" Piper rolled her eyes at her and gazed at Robin's disappearing form, her eyes filled with contempt. Vera thought to herself, you just missed a big opportunity and think you're so clever! You're such an idiot!
