Chapter 193

Chapter 193 You're Not a Man!

The last time they'd met, at Harmont Bar, Robin had helped Raymond out of a tough situation.

Ever since, Raymond had wanted to properly thank him and was eager to get to know him better.

But he hadn't found an opportunity-until now.

"Mr. Ramsey, I really appreciate what you did at Harmont Bar!" Raymond said, a bit nervous, unsure of what else to say. "I've spent some time at home recently, thinking things over. I realized that a woman like Emma ... well, I'm better off without her." Robin gave him a small smile but didn't respond.

Raymond awkwardly shrugged. "Alright then. I'll let you all get back to it. I'll take Alice home."

Then, he remembered something. "Hey, Vera, what are you all doing out here so late?"

Vera replied, "Robin forgot his access card, so we're waiting for Mr. Barrett to get back." "Robin's access card?" Raymond's eyes lit up with recognition.

He'd heard from Logan recently that Robin was living in Villa One at Dawnspire Heights Estates.

And he knew that even Rowan, a big shot in his own right, treated Robin like a respected superior.

Raymond found himself looking at Robin's back with a newfound sense of awe.

If he could build a connection with someone like Robin, it might be the chance his family-the Hamptons-needed to rise again.

Just this morning, he'd heard that, with Robin's help, Vera had successfully regained control of Silva Group.

After she took over, Silva Group immediately secured three major projects in the Eastvale Business District, all courtesy of the Dunns.

Tonight's Ivy concert, as well, was co-sponsored by the Dunns and the Silvas.

Raymond was well aware that none of this would've been possible for Vera without Robin's support. There was no way she could have pulled it off alone.

He'd wanted to contact Vera and maybe get a look at the concert himself, but he'd felt too embarrassed to ask.

Vera, who used to drift through life without direction, had suddenly transformed into a highly successful CEO.

This change had deeply shaken Raymond.

He realized he should step up and do something meaningful for his family's business, too.

As he looked at Robin's silhouette, he felt the urge to say something, to express his thoughts. But the words died on his lips.

In the past, he hadn't understood who Robin truly was.

But now it was clear: Robin wasn't the "nobody" that Alice and Zachary had painted him as.

He was a genuine power player.

But Robin was the kind of man who had no need to flaunt it.

Seeing that Robin wasn't interested in chatting, Raymond dropped the idea.

After all, who was he, Raymond, to expect a man like Robin to engage with him?

A sense of disappointment welled up in his heart.

But as he noticed Vera standing with Robin, his mind began to spin with new ideas.

Vera and Robin had been spending a lot of time together lately.

Raymond thought that if he could use Vera to make an introduction, there might be a chance to get closer to Robin.

If he could invite Robin out once, he could do it again.
