Chapter 8 It’s Critical for the Huber Family

Seeing that Miranda was still depressed, Jacob wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and continued, “Miranda, are you unhappy because of the Eastern Business District project?

“Don’t worry. My dad has started to get in touch with Cecilia from Purpeak International Group.

“She said that she can give us a share of more than 1 billion for cooperation for the project.

“I will talk to Ms. Decker and ask if we can give 30% of our share to the Brown family.

“As you know, Purpeak International Group is the largest shareholder of the Eastern Business District project.”

Miranda’s eyes lit up when she heard so.

Cecilia from Purpeak International Group was as popular as the Underground Demon King Conway in Hallcester.

Cecilia was Miranda’s goddess.

After she was in charge of the Brown Group, Miranda was determined to become a woman like Cecilia.

Back then, Purpeak International Group just opened its market in Hallcester. Conway tried to suppress its development.

In less than a month.

Conway failed to suppress Purpeak International Group’s development by all means.

Instead, he was forced to apologize to Miranda and promised to keep peace with Purpeak International Group.

Purpeak International Group thrived in Hallcester.

Cecilia became the most mysterious, charming woman in Hallcester.

Miranda said in doubt, “Mr. Walsh, you mean your family is in touch with Ms. Decker from Purpeak International Group?”

Jacob was stunned for a while and smiled. “Yes. So, Miranda, we don’t have to fear the Huber family, let alone a poor man from a lower status like Robin.”

The guests at the party were also shocked to learn this.

Cecilia from Purpeak International Group.

She kept a low profile in Hallcester. She was mysterious and yet dominating.

She was unfathomable.

In front of Cecilia, the Huber family didn’t dare to say they ruled the business circle in Hallcester.

The Walsh family was in touch with her.

It looked like the Walsh family was powerful enough in Hallcester.

The Brown family sighed in relief.

Miranda’s mother Julia cheered up and recovered from her fear.

“Ms. Decker from Purpeak International Group is somebody!

“Jacob, Miranda and we Brown family are counting on your family.

“When we cooperate with Purpeak International Group, Robin will no longer be proud in front of our family.”

A smile gradually spread across Miranda’s face.

She sneered in her heart and thought, “Robin, you are rude, uncultivated. You thought you would be awesome after you were close to the Huber family?

That’s ridiculous.

You won’t be as good as Jacob.

Don’t even think of raising your head in front of me.

I’ll become a queen like Cecilia from Purpeak International Group.

By then, I’ll ask you to kneel and beg for mercy if you dare to ignore me.”

***

After leaving the Brown Group, Harold quickly caught up with Robin and respectfully said, “Mr. Bruce, please get in my car!”

Robin stopped.

He intended to say no, but he saw Harold and Karina’s sincerity.

Back at the Brown family’s party, they stood up for him.

For Robin’s good, Karina summoned her courage to confess her love to him.

She boosted Robin’s confidence.

Robin didn’t need this. But the Huber family was of integrity.

“If it were not for you, Mr. Bruce, Karina might have been hurt.

“Mr. Bruce, you’re our savior. I’d be willing to give all our assets to you to show my thanks.

“From then on, Mr. Bruce is the most honored guest of my family. You can take any property of the Huber family at any time. Everyone in the Huber family will obey your orders.

“What my granddaughter said at the party is not a white lie, nor is it purely to vent anger for you.

“That’s her real thought, and we Huber family agrees. Please think about it carefully, Mr. Bruce.”

At this moment, the blush on Karina’s face instantly spread to her fair ears. She shyly avoided Robin’s eyes.

Robin smiled indifferently. “It was nothing that I rescued you before. I just happened to see you in trouble. It didn’t cost me much effort.”

Harold took a step forward and bowed again. “Mr. Bruce, please wait a moment. I have another request. Could you please get in the car and we can talk about it? I will tell you everything in detail. It’s critical for the Huber family.”

Robin wanted to refuse and leave, but Karina begged, “Mr. Bruce, the people who kidnapped me listened to the enemy of the Huber family back then.

“That enemy came back this time to destroy the Huber family. Mr. Bruce, we hope you can help us. Otherwise, our Huber family might not be able to escape this catastrophe.”

Robin frowned. “I … don’t want to get involved in your grievances.”

Harold was startled for a moment. He had no choice but to nod his head. “Mr. Bruce, I won’t insist if you don’t want to.

“It’s snowing heavily tonight, and it’s already so late. Mr. Bruce, please stay at the Huber’s house for one night. It won’t be late for you to leave tomorrow.”

Robin looked at the flying snow. At this moment, there were almost no taxis on the street.

Enzo’s villa was still some distance away. It was situated beside Crescent Lake in the east of the city.

Robin said reluctantly, “Okay then, Mr. Huber, I’ll stay at your place for one night.”

Harold breathed a sigh of relief and immediately invited Robin into his car.

After getting in the car, Harold sat in the front row. He deliberately let Robin sit in the back seat with Karina beside him.

A pleasant fragrance wafted into Robin’s nostrils.

Robin couldn’t help but glance at Karina beside him. If he said he wasn’t moved, he would be lying.

He had met a lot of women.

But Karina was like a pure goddess. She wasn’t like any other secular woman.

She was innocent and delicate.

Karina blushed under Robin’s gaze.

When she was about to thank him, Robin closed his eyes and settled himself into the seat.

Karina and Harold shut up when they saw Robin reluctant to talk.

After around a quarter.

The car just entered the mountain road leading to the Huber’s villa. It suddenly stopped.

Due to the slippery road on snowy days, the vehicles of Harold’s bodyguard convoy collided instantly.

“Mr. Huber, they are killers hired by Nelson Kermode!”

Mark immediately led more than a dozen bodyguards to protect the car Harold and the others were riding in.

“There are about four gunmen. Mr. Huber, let’s call the police for help!”

Harold frowned tightly. “It’s too late. Even if we call the police, everything will be over after they arrive…”
