The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 205

Chapter 205 Are You Insulting My Intelligence?

The crowd of guests was utterly disgusted by Robin's behavior.

How could something so disgraceful happen in such a high-class setting?

And this was an auction hosted by the Nevilles.

This man is fearless by daring to sneak in with a fake premium invitation.

Feeling the scornful stares around them, Vera frowned and said, "Zachary, how can you accuse Robin of carrying a fake invitation without any proof?"

"Alice, really! Do you think Robin is foolish enough to pull something so low-class?

"What if, just what if, Robin's premium invitation was actually sent by Madam Mavis herself? Aren't you worried about offending the Nevilles?"

Alice let out a laugh. "Vera, you always make excuses for him. Madam Mavis doesn't even know who Robin is. How could you come up with such a ridiculous idea that she'd send him a personal invitation? "Robin is just a nobody, without family or status. How dare he say something so ridiculous?

"He is just a delusional loser suffering from Ripley syndrome!"

"Well, you're entitled to think that way." Vera sighed.

"But Alice, do you really need to go this far even if you think Robin's beneath you?

"Whatever card he's holding, whatever he's done, it doesn't hurt you in any way. Why are you so relentless in making things difficult for him?

"If he's using a fake invitation, the auction staff will handle it.

"So why do you have to team up with Liam and openly humiliate him? Alice, I don't understand you!"

Alice sneered. "I can't stand his pretentious attitude! It makes me sick every time he tries to play the role of a refined gentleman!

"A man from the bottom rung of society like him could never compare to someone as elegant as Mr. Liam no matter how hard he tries!"

Vera chuckled knowingly.

"You really do have a unique taste. Alice, would you regret it if one day you discover that the man you've been mocking and scorning is someone you could never hope to reach?"

Alice's gaze turned cold. "Are you insulting my intelligence, Vera? What makes you think he could ever reach such heights? Saying that is nothing short of a joke!"

Vera smiled. "The thing is, Robin already holds that position. You're just unwilling to believe it."

"It's either you're helping Robin lie to me, or you've been completely deceived by him!" Alice laughed loudly, startling the onlookers.

"Vera, I swear before everyone here no matter what, even if Robin someday manages to surprise me, I will never look at him differently, and I will never regret calling off the engagement!" Her words drew mocking stares from the crowd around them.
