Chapter 209 Come On, Keep Raising Your Paddle!

Anthony frowned slightly. "Ms. Quinn, everything follows an order. They're ahead, and you're behind. Why should you cut in line?"

Ruby responded with irritation, "Mr. Anthony, I want them to make way for me. Otherwise, it feels wrong!"

He frowned, pausing briefly before saying sternly, "Enough! Quit making a fuss. This isn't your home; no one here will pamper you. Besides, they're guests in the VIP Zone-you can't insist on going first." Still annoyed, she demanded, "Then I want a VIP ticket too!"

Anthony shook his head. "Ms. Quinn, the Brookhaven Martial Alliance doesn't have the privilege of VIP seating. I can't help you.

"Remember, everyone here must follow the auction rules. The Nevilles won't ignore breaches."

"Hmph!" Ruby stamped her foot in anger, glaring at Robin and his group. "Why do they get to be in the VIP Zone?"

"Ms. Quinn, this is the final warning. Don't cause trouble for your Brookhaven Martial Alliance," Anthony warned, then walked away, with two Neville disciples following close behind Robin.

Though uncomfortable, Ruby knew the Brookhaven Martial Alliance was far outmatched by the Nevilles. Anthony's word was final.

As Robin, Daphne, and Rita entered the second floor of Rosewood, they took their seats in the VIP Zone.

Shortly after, Ruby settled into Zone One.

Beside her were Zachary, Alice, and Vera, who could see Robin and the others from their seats.

Alice glanced angrily at Robin and whispered, "That con artist! He's only getting close to Ms. West to secure a place in Harmonfield's elite circles. Once this auction ends, I'll set Ms. West straight!" Zachary nodded thoughtfully. "I admire him for tricking clever women like Shirley and Daphne!"

Vera chuckled. "But, Mr. Gill, if people like you and Alice can see through Robin, then why wouldn't Daphne and Shirley?"

"You're right." Zachary and Alice nodded solemnly. "Why would they be with him if they know he's a fraud?"

Suddenly, Alice stood up, pulling Vera toward the VIP Zone.

"Alice, what are you doing?" Vera looked at the angry Alice in confusion.

Alice clenched her teeth. "Ms. West is my idol. I need to expose Robin's true nature to her!"

Vera pulled her arm free. "Don't you see the Nevilles' guards there? If you don't want trouble, just sit down.

"Remember, starting a scene here could drag your family into problems.

"If you offend the martial arts families, you won't even have a chance to beg for mercy!"

Zachary added. "Alice, calm down-the auction's beginning. I'm hoping to bid on an engagement gift for you."

Reluctantly, Alice returned to her seat, but not before glaring at Robin.

"Robin, it's my birthday in three days. Get me something nice!" Robin's reply came
