The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 214

Chapter 214 I'll Slap You Silly!

Alice's voice rang out across the room, and her words were loud enough for many people at the auction to overhear.

As she spoke, her excitement grew, even making the auctioneer pause on stage.

"Is this woman losing her mind?"

"She's about to accept Mr. Gill's proposal, and yet she says things like this!"

"Why does it even matter to her that Mr. Ramsey's giving a gift to someone else? They're not together!"

...

Zachary's expression darkened as he listened to the murmurs around them.

"Alice, tone it down. Everyone here is listening to you."

When she heard Zachary's words, a sinister glint appeared in her eyes.

"Feeling embarrassed, Zachary?

"If you feel humiliated, then why didn't you bid for the Eternal Moonlit necklace for me?"

Zachary felt as if he had been slapped in front of everyone.

He took a deep breath and said softly, "Alice, control yourself. Don't fall into Robin's trap. He's purposely trying to make you react." Alice calmed down a bit, her gaze losing some of its anger.

Zachary went on, "Think about it, Alice-Robin doesn't have the resources for this. Where'd he get all that money?

"Five billion for that necklace? No one knows where the funds came from.

"Maybe he borrowed it from the Dunns or got it from Daphne to show off.

"He plans to rile you up, and it seems to be working!"

Alice smirked, her scornful smile returning. "You're right, Zachary! I almost let him get to me. Robin is only trying to mess with me!"

Zachary nodded. "He probably knew I was going to propose to you today. Out of jealousy, he showed up and decided to hand that necklace over to Vera." Vera shook her head, bewildered by their assumptions.

They were truly a perfect match.
