Instead of acknowledging their contents, she confronted him, demanding to know why he was looking into Robin.
This revelation left him stunned.
Does Shirley really not notice how messy Robin's life is?
"Ms. Dunn, please allow me to clarify; you've misunderstood my intentions," Howard said quickly.
"I've known you longer than I've known Robin. We are classmates from Huffurd Business School."
"Do you not see the reason I joined the Dunn Group? After graduating. I chose to step away from the lucrative paths offered by my family's company to assist you in developing the Dunn Group. "And I genuinely have feelings for you," he added, hoping to connect with her emotionally.
Shirley frowned and retorted coldly, "Howard, you're making too much of this! There's no need for you to sacrifice your own interests just to be part of the Dunn Group.
"In other words, the Dunn Group is thriving whether you're here or not.
"If your intention for joining us is that, you can leave right now. I won't accommodate your request.
"Furthermore, I want to make it clear: I'm already interested in someone else. Please don't waste your time on me; it's simply not going to happen."
Embarrassment flushed Howard's face.
Faced with Shirley's chilling remarks, he struggled to contain the rising anger within him.
Inside, he seethed, Shirley, you can't get away from me. If I can't have you, I'll destroy you first!
Taking a steadying breath, he kept a facade of friendliness.
"Shirley, regardless of how you see me or treat me, I won't take it to heart," he stated.
"You should know that I genuinely care about your safety. I don't want anyone to mislead you for their own gain and put you in harm's way.
"The reason I looked into Robin is that I sensed he has hidden motives for joining the Dunn Group!
"Look at these pictures; this isn't just about his messy personal life.
"Someone with such poor character could bring about unpredictable negative outcomes for the Dunn Group!
"I'm concerned that this type of man, who flits from one person to another, might use charming words to manipulate you.

From when I've observed, he's willing to do whatever stakes to be part of the Dunn Group, and he likely hariots toward you- "Enough" Sharley interrupted sharply "Let's stop this conversation about the photos!
TU sell you this- I recognize the people in those pictures and I know what's going on, but I don't owe you an explanation "Now, please leave In ten minutes. I'll be at the Eastvale Business District outsourcing project signing
event with Robin, and I want you to accompany us
Howard paused, taken aback. She knows the woman in the photos?
And the brown what's going on?
What does the mean?
He scrutinized Shirley's expression once more, attempting to detect any sign of her feelings.
There was nothing out of the ordinary, which left him completely baffled.
The only logical conclusion was that Shirley had no feelings for Robin, which explained her indifference To his personal life.
"Ms. Dunn, are you indicating that the three companies Robin deleted might be reconsidered?"
Shirley regarded him with a disinterested gaze. "Stop asking about that. Just return for now and prepare for the signing ceremony. "But I must warn you: incidents like today's must cease at once!
"If I discover again that you're using illegal methods to invade Robin's privacy, you will be expelled from the Dunn Group!
"And erase those photos immediately, including all copies. It's for your own benefit!"
Howard attempted to elaborate further, but Shirley dismissed him. leaving him no choice but to exit her
office.
As she pondered the images from Howard's phone, uncertainty began to creep into Shirley's mind.
She recognized the photos of Maya, Freya, and Robin together at the Blue Bay Club and understood their
context
However, she was perplexed by the pictures of Robin with Rita and Daphne after his departure from the Wright Mansion. Especially the intimate photo at the Violetcrest Club, where Daphne was linked arm-in-arm with Robin, unsettled Shirley. What is the true nature of the relationship between Daphne and Robin?
She had wanted to ask Robin about this countless times?

Ver every time, the question lingered on her lips, but she hesitated, unsure how to address such a personal
Robin is such a thoughtless person, completely carefree and unaware of his surroundings
Shirley let out an exasperated hull, "What a jerkt Robin, you're such a huge jerk!!...I swear I'll teach you a lesson! Just you wait!"
If any of their colleagues from the company had witneed this exchange, they would have been utterly astonished.
In that moment, she was far from the revered goddess of Harmonfield that everyone admired.
Instead, she resembled a pouting, disgruntled girl!
Yet, this frown and annoyance quickly faded.
As she reflected on the first encounter with Robin and everything that followed, warmth blossomed in her
chest.
This man had abruptly stepped into her dull, routine life, filling it with happiness, excitement, and a sense of safety.
Regardless of the challenges she faced, everything seemed manageable as long as he was by her side.
It felt like all the difficulties were nothing in front of Robin.
Lost in these thoughts, a radiant smile spread across Shirley's face.
Ten minutes later, Shirley, Robin, and Howard arrived at the signing hall of Eastvale Development Group.
Earlier, Howard had announced the twenty businesses that would officially join forces for the Dunns Eastvale Ecological Project, and now they eagerly waited in the hall. Joy and excitement lit up each of their faces.
Everyone realized that these 20 successful contractors were on the brink of significantly enhancing their family's status.
They were about to embark on a remarkable journey with the influential Dunn Group.
In the next ten to 20 years, they could very well become the elite of Harmonfield's business world.
Zachary and Alice were over the moon.
They had never imagined that their casual visit would lead to such a stroke of luck.
It felt as though they had truly hit the jackpot!
Grace and Daniel were equally thrilled.
Given Haven Realty's position, they had little chance against the top-tier families,
Yet, by mere chance, Haven Realty found itself on the prestigious list of the Dunn Group's twenty

partners.
They felt relieved by their fortunate decision.
Grace approached Vera with a playful smile. "Vera, your friend, Rohin, is quite the key player.
"Who would have thought we'd end up partnering with the Dunn Group because of him!
"Did you know that when we expressed our disdain for Robin to Mr. Dixon, he immediately suggested we could be partners in the Eastvale outsourcing project! "Vera, since you've grown so close to him, the Silvas are getting left behind.
"Haven Realty is obviously trailing behind you Silvas in terms of status.
"Yet because you and Robin have become so close, the Silvas missed out on this opportunity. In less than six months, Haven Realty will likely outpace the Silvas
Vera gave a nonchalant smile. "Well, congratulations to you. But until these contracts are officially confirmed, anything can happen."
"Hahaha Grace chuckled.
"Vera, you really are quite naive!
"Howard, the Vice General Manager of the Dunn Group responsible for selecting project partners, has already revealed the twenty names. Do you honestly believe they will change them? Don't they care about being labeled as indecisive? That they lack integrity?" Just then, the event host gestured for the guests in the hall to quiet down.
Shirley, Robin, and Howard stepped forward.
Shirley handed the list of signatories to Amber. Please make the announcement; this is the list of businesses for the Dunns Eastvale Ecological Project."
Amber began to read out the officially approved partners.
Finally, the guests realized that only seventeen businesses had been announced, not the twenty Howard had mentioned earlier.
Everyone noticed that the three names missing were the Millers, the Gills, and Haven Realty.
"What's going on?" Alice rushed to the front, urgency tinging her voice. "Ms. Jenning, did you overlook
some names?"
