The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 192

Chapter 192 What Did I Ever Lie to You About?

Alice hung up the phone.

By this time, the concert had wrapped up, and the audience was slowly leaving.

The venue, stripped of its lights and decorations, now felt empty and cold, with only the chilly night breeze and a sense of loneliness lingering after the excitement.

Alice stood alone in the VIP section, still dazed and overwhelmed by everything that had happened.

Almost everyone around her had already left.

The last notes of "Only Ordinary" still echoed faintly through the venue.

She looked at the empty stage, feeling as if it had all been a dream.

Where were Robin and Vera?

Suddenly, Alice ran toward the exit, spotting Robin in the distance, walking away surrounded by Vera, Ivy, Shirley, and Daphne.

"Robin, wait!" Alice called out, running after him.

Her shout made Robin and the others pause and glance back.

Robin frowned when he realized it was Alice calling him.

He chose to ignore her and kept walking.

"Robin, stop!" Alice rushed up to him, blocking his path, and snapped, "Why did you lie to me?"

Robin gave her a cool smile. "What exactly did I lie to you about?"

"You're a major shareholder of Dunn Group and the President of Eastvale Development Group. Why didn't you ever tell me?"

Robin smirked. "Alice, are you out of your mind? Why would I need to tell you anything about my life?"

Ivy, unaware of what was happening, politely said goodbye to Robin, and Shirley and the others had already driven off.

Daphne looked like she wanted to say something, but Robin gestured for her to leave as well.

Now, it was just Vera, Robin, and Alice left outside the concert venue.

Vera looked at Alice's frustrated expression and shook her head.

"Robin, I'll go get the car. Where are you planning to stay tonight? I know you didn't drive here, so I can drop you off."

Robin thought for a moment. "I'll head back to Villa One in Dawnspire Heights. I loaned my Graceview Apartments place to Rosalie."

Vera nodded. "Alright, I'll go pull the car around."

Alice stared at him, dumbfounded. "Villa One in Dawnspire Heights? Robin, can you be serious? You really expect me to believe you live there?"

Robin ignored her and pulled out his phone.

"Robin, why are you treating me like this? What did I ever do to you?"

Robin finally lost patience. "Alice, what exactly do you want from me?

"I haven't had anything to do with you or the Millers for a long time. Everything I do has nothing to do with you. So what gives you the right to question me? Now get lost!" Just then, Vera pulled up in the car in front of them. "Robin, get in! Alice, we're leaving."
