Vera stomped her foot in frustration, rushing after Robin. +10 Free Gow
"Robin, I get it now! You're still hung up on Alice, aren't you? If you still have feelings for her, why not just admit it? How hypocritical!"
Robin halted, momentarily taken aback. "Have you lost your mind? Why would I waste my energy thinking about her?
"You're seriously making a big deal out of this. I'm just suggesting that you invest in Southvale. You really overthink things! Let me clarify: I'm not bored enough to obsess over some lunatic." With that, he stepped into the elevator.
As Vera caught a glimpse of Robin's nonchalant expression, she realized he wasn't lying. A sly smile formed on her lips as she joined him inside..
Rosalie and Piper were also present in the elevator.
"Hi, Ms. Silva!" Rosalie beained, waving at Vera.
She then turned to Robin, her cheeks turning pink. "Robin, what a surprise to see you again."
"Surprise? Please, he's clearly following me; it's just sad Piper shot Robin a contemptuous look. Robin disregarded her, pulling out his phone to check the latest news on Jonah and Southvale. Multiple news outlets had stories today centered around Jonah and Southvale.
The most alarming article reported that Jonah was being pursued by numerous creditors and had run out of options.
He had amassed significant debts due to the Infinity Tower project.
At present, the bank has begun the process of demanding early loan repayment.
Today was the final deadline for Jonah to settle his financial obligations.
Moreover, there was a much more serious issue at play
Previously, Shawn from Abyssal Dominion had extended him a billion with interest!
Predatory loan, which had swelled to two
If he failed to repay that, Jonah wouldn't just face lawsuits and asset seizures; he could very well be in danger from Abyssal Dominion's enforcers.
Vera couldn't help but stifle a laugh at Robin's expression.
She never understood why Piper always assumed Robin was interested in her.
Seeing that Robin was ignoring her, Piper huffed, "Listen, you need to move out immediately! Don't live across from me!

Do you have some kind of strange obsession! Why do you keep hanging around me every day? Is this some kind of came to you?
I can't stand guys like you'
Just so you know, if you follow me again, I'll call the police
Robin looked up, regarding the furious Piper. "Lely, you really need to get a gript
"Who do you think you are to look down on me? Just go away, you're like an irritating fly, just buzzzing all the time!"
"How dare you! You think I'm the one causing the issue Piper's face turned a deep shade of red as the pointed an angry finger at Robin.
at Eastvale Development Group and followed us here!
"He even discovered where we live at Graceview Apartments and moved there, right across from us!
There's no way all of this is mere coincidence. He's been plotting to win my heart!
Vera listened intently, feeling momentarily speechless.
"Ms. Dawson, when you compare the two of us, who do you think is more attractive?
"Or perhaps you should consider your own social standing. Can you really measure up to me?"
Piper fell silent, casting a quick glance at Vera.
She wanted to retaliate but managed to hold her tongue just in time.
Vera loomed over Piper, a smug expression on her face as she raised an eyebrow. "Piper, in your opinion, who do you think Robin prefers? A charming woman of my style, or someone as ordinary as you?" Piper was taken aback, her cheeks turning a deep shade of red as she struggled to respond.
Vera let out a light chuckle and turned toward Robin, who was still absorbed in the news on his phone. Leaning closer, she whispered, "Do you really have any interest in her?"

Once outside, Vera burst into laughter, covering her mouth as she struggled to contain herself.
"Haha... this is too funny!

"Did you catch the expression on Piper's face when she saw you? It was as if she thought you were some kind of pervert.
"Seriously, did you really bother that poor girl?
"Bother? Please, that woman is delusional. Have you not noticed?
"Every time I see her, she insists I'm chasing after her. don't know why she'd think I'm interested in her!
"She'd make a great screenwriter; she's clearly missed her calling
"Hahaha... "Vera laughed so hard at the innocent look on Robin's face that she could barely stay upright.
At that moment, Zachary and Alice exited Howard's office, looking despondent, and inadvertently bumped into Robin and Vera.
Vera's laughter stopped abruptly as she noticed Alice's downcast expression. She stepped forward and inquired, Alice, how did it go? What did Mr. Dixon say?"
Alice let out a deep sigh. "No luck! Mr. Dixon mentioned that the Dunns aren't interested in such a minor
investment,
Moreover, the land in Southvale has depreciated significantly. Even if the Dunn Group isn't cash- strapped, they wouldn't invest a billion for the Southvale property that Zachary and I hold. "Ugh. Vera, I'm really in a tight spot here."
Vera glanced at Robin, hesitated for a moment, and then asked Alice, "What price are you considering for the Southvale property?"
Alice shook her head, disappointment written all over her face. "When we purchased the Southvale land, it cost us less than 500 million.
"Although we've invested some additional funds over the last two years, the current market doesn't reflect that.
"Right now, we're just trying to recover our initial investment, nothing more.
"If we can't sell the Southvale property today, I won't be able to repay the bank loan, and I might have to borrow money just to cover the bank's debt.
"That's one issue, but the more significant problem is that my relatives and shareholders will use this situation to create trouble for me in front of my grandfather." Robin turned to Alice. "Do you have the documents for the Southvale property?"
Alice was taken aback; she hadn't anticipated Robin asking her that.
She replied defensively, "Why do you care whether I brought the documents or not?"
Vera quickly interjected, "No, Alice, Robin means he has some cash available and is interested in buying your Southvale property."
Alice and Zachary stared at her in astonishment. "What did you just say?"

Alice stood there in shock for a moment, initially in disbelief, before her expression shifted to one of
disdain.
"I know you have a few hundred million. Are you trying to buy these properties just to make me differently?"
At this, Alice paused, her tone icy. "It can't be that straightforward, can it? What's your catch?
"Just remember, ever since I ended our engagement, I have no ties to you or the Ramseys!"
view you
Robin replied with an indifferent smile, "Alice, I hope you can avoid mentioning the engagement from
now on.
"Once the Millers refused to accept the engagement, we became strangers.
"Bringing it up is pointless.
"And about the Southvale land, whether you want to sell it or not is purely about the property-there's no ulterior motive!"
Alice rolled her eyes and locked gazes with Robin. "You really don't have any conditions?"
Robin answered coolly. "Ms. Miller, you seriously overestimate your importance. A woman like you isn't someone I'd go out of my way to impress." "Hey!" Alice seethed, on the verge of retaliating.
Vera quickly intervened. "Alright, Alice. Robin really isn't as complicated as you think he is."
After a brief pause, Vera turned back to Robin. "You weren't joking earlier? You genuinely want to purchase Alice's Southvale property?"
"Absolutely! But she seems hesitant to sell to us. Are we supposed to beg her? If she doesn't want to sell, that's perfectly fine with me." With that, Robin walked past them toward the office.
Seeing Robin actually leave, Alice quickly called out, "Alright, if you truly want to buy it, you must have the cash ready. I'm not doing installments or credit-I expect 500 million, not a penny less!" With that, she shot a scornful look at Robin. "Do you really have that much money to spare?""
