Chapter 29 Robin Is a Trouble–Maker

“What do you want?” Robin glanced at Crystal.

He opened his phone and saw a message from Karsyn.

“Mr. Bruce, the Purpeak wine party is about to begin.

“Ms. Huber asked me to inform you that she would be expecting you in the banquet hall on the 28th floor of the Purpeak Convention Center in half an hour.”

Crystal looked at Livia, who was visibly angry. Seeing Robin typing a reply to the message, Crystal whispered, “Robin, did Ms. Decker really not do anything to you?”

Robin looked over at Miranda, Jacob, and the others not far away.

Then he looked back at the puzzled Crystal and chuckled, “What can she do to me? Are you disappointed that I came out unscathed?”

Crystal glared at Robin in annoyance. “You…”

“With how arrogant you were at the bar, how come Leonel and the others didn’t teach you a lesson?”

“Perhaps, Cecilia and Livia have developed a liking for me,” Robin said, looking at Livia with interest and heading toward the Purpeak Convention Center.

Livia shot Robin a fierce look.

Crystal trembled slightly and quickly took a few steps, following after them.

Miranda, Jacob, and the others who liked to meddle in others‘ business were sitting in the outdoor seating area near the bar.

They all wanted to see what kind of sorry state Robin would be in when he came out of the bar.

However, seeing that Robin came out in an unexpected manner, they were puzzled.

In the upper class of Hallcester, everyone knew the rules of Cecilia’s Purpeak Bar.

Given Robin’s actions today, he was surely going to have a hard time.

“I didn’t expect this bastard to come out alive. What happened?” Jacob muttered with discontent, touching his swollen mouth.

Miranda sneered, “I guess he must have begged Ms. Decker on his knees for mercy, and that’s why he made it out of the bar.”

Jacob shook his head and said, “It’s really strange! Could it be that he called Karina, and the Huber family intervened, leading Ms. Decker to let him go?”

“That might be the reason.” Miranda nodded.

Jacob looked at Robin’s back and chuckled coldly.

Jacob thought, “Robin was so arrogant today!

Not only did he offend Melvin, but he also openly confronted Leonel, Ms. Decker’s top helper, and even beat up Mr. Lambert’s man.

In this short amount of time, Robin has managed to offend almost all the big shots in Purpeak Club. He’s done for!

Multiple parties might spare him temporarily for the Huber family’s

sake.

But no one can guarantee what will happen to him next time.

The Huber family’s reputation and favors are like a diminishing resource. They’ll run out eventually.

By then, I really want to see how Robin continues to act cocky.”

Thinking about all this, Jacob became excited and forgot all his previous grievances.

“Crystal, why are you following Robin?” Miranda and Jacob caught up with Crystal and mocked her.

“I advise you to stay away from people like him. Otherwise, you’ll be in trouble if you get entangled,” Miranda said, pulling Crystal.

Miranda continued, “There was almost an incident at the bar just now. If it weren’t for Mr. Walsh stepping in, I can’t imagine what would happen.”

Crystal had intended to explain that her safety had nothing to do with Jacob and that she could escape because of Robin.

However, Miranda went on, “Crystal, next time, don’t get close to Robin out of curiosity. Those who don’t understand the rules are bound to cause trouble sooner or later…”

“Well, Livia…” As Miranda was speaking ill of Robin, Livia passed by them.

She hurriedly greeted, “Someone like Robin, who comes from a lower class, really doesn’t understand the etiquette of our class. I think he should be kicked out of the Purpeak investment event.”

Jacob joined in to please her. “Miranda is right. In our upper class,

Robin is just a troublemaker!”

Livia stopped in her tracks and looked at Miranda and Jacob with cold eyes. “Robin is a troublemaker in your upper class?

“Are you saying that in your eyes, Robin is just a troublemaker among you?” Livia questioned.

Miranda and Jacob chorused, “Yes, Ms. Colon. We should definitely remove him!”

Livia gave a chilly smile. “So, in your view, you are the trouble made by Robin?”

Both Miranda and Jacob immediately responded, not even thinking, “That’s right.”

“Oh my!” Krish and Crystal couldn’t help but cover their faces in unison.

Livia didn’t say anything.

She sneered, disdainfully glancing at them before turning and walking into the bar.

Miranda looked at Livia’s retreating figure, puzzled. “Crystal, did I say something wrong? What does she mean?”

“Shit! Miranda, are you for real?” Crystal shook her head.

“You guys admitted that you are the trouble! Livia doesn’t want to talk to you anymore because she finds you st* pid!”

Miranda finally came to her senses. “Dear! It’s all because of that asshole Robin!”

“Let’s go. Don’t mope around here. The Purpeak wine party is about to

start. We need to hurry over,” Krish urged.

Jacob held onto Miranda, who was still sulking. “Miranda, once my dad signs the investment deal for the Eastern Business District today, I’ll deal with Robin! He won’t be arrogant for long!”

***

On the 28th–floor banquet hall in the Purpeak Convention Center.

Karina and Karsyn were waiting in the business lounge area of the hall.

Robin found them in the area indicated by the location.

Karina observed him and said, “Are you OK?”

Robin shrugged. “I’m fine. Why?”

“I heard from Karsyn that you had a conflict with Melvin from World Real Estate at the bar. Did you resolve it?”

“Just a minor issue.” Robin lifted a cup of coffee brought by a waiter.

Karina looked at him, unfazed. “Did Leonel cause you any trouble?”

“No, everything went smoothly.” Robin set down his coffee. “What’s up?”

“Nothing. That’s good then.” Karina had wanted to inquire about Cecilia’s invitation to meet with him.

Seeing that Robin wasn’t inclined to share more, Karina hesitated for a moment and decided not to press further.

After all, Robin was at most a benefactor and guest of the Huber family.

He had no obligation to share every detail of his actions with her.

However, after this morning’s events, Karina was more and more curious about Robin.

Initially, she had thought he was just skilled physically, perhaps with a background in special forces or something similar.

But Robin could escape from Conway’s and Cecilia’s tricks.

And he could leave unscathed after engaging in a brawl at Purpeak Bar.

These abnormal things had intensified Karina’s interest in Robin.

Considering Robin’s engagement with Miranda, Karina wondered if she had thought too much.

Maybe Conway had taken the Huber family’s influence into account, leading to significant concessions in the Eastern Business District project.

Perhaps Cecilia was merely intrigued by Robin’s exceptional archery skills and let him off the hook after the Purpeak Bar incident.

Robin noticed Karina gazing at him with a distant expression and shrugged. “Are you staring at me like this because you find me handsome?”

Karina’s cheeks reddened, and she retorted, “Shameless!”

“Do you know who Melvin Reynell is?”

Robin pursed his lips and said, “Yeah, he’s Owen’s nephew from World Real Estate, right? What’s up? Is there more trouble?”

Karina nodded and said, “Melvin, a playboy like him, isn’t worth

mentioning.

“But Owen’s eldest son, Nathen Reynell, is not a good guy at all!

“About four or five years ago, the Reynell family was just average among the top families in Hallcester, almost at the bottom of the rankings.

“However, since Nathen returned from studying abroad four years ago, the Reynell family quickly rose to prominence.

“And Owen and Nathen became notable figures in Hallcester.

“Under their management, World Real Estate has thrived.

“In these past couple of years, with my father’s serious illness, Owen seems poised to take over my grandfather’s position as the head of the Hallcester Chamber of Commerce.

“For over a year now, Nathen has been trying to propose to me.

“I know he’s after all the connections and assets of the Huber family.

“Recently, he stirred up trouble with the Eastern Business District project, targeting the specific investment areas, forcing me and the Huber family to comply…”

“Karina, there you are. I’ve been looking everywhere for you!” At this moment, a tall and handsome man in a white suit walked up to Karina and Robin.

Karsyn whispered to Robin, “He’s Nathen.”
