"Ryder, we have a situation here! Jeb and Karina have been seriously injured, and four of our bodyguards have been killed. I'm at North Plaza..." Skylar explained in a rush.

Growing up under the influence of Lord Southmere's methods, he understood the subtleties at play here.

Simon, Trent, and Elliott-all with impeccable backgrounds-stood firmly on Robin's side.

Even if his father were to come, this would not be resolved on the spot, and it would only serve to offend these powerful families further.

Eithan also realized that today's fault lay with Skylar, who had tried to treat Robin as if he were a rootless commoner, a man to be bullied without consequence.

Yet, that approach was clearly impossible now.

At this level of influence, their aim was to resolve conflicts without causing others to lose face publicly.

If they needed to take action, they would do so discreetly, from behind the scenes.

With so many voices supporting Robin today, using direct force was out of the question.

The wisest option would be to eliminate Robin quietly, in a way that Simon and the others could not directly oppose.

In this situation, involving his father, Ryder Shaw, to handle the matter would be beneath their status,

After a moment's hesitation, Eithan leaned in and whispered to Skylar, "Mr. Fiori, let's handle this as Mr. Cross directs. This approach will keep things more manageable. There's an important military operation underway here soon, so it wouldn't be appropriate for my dad to get involved right now.

We can address this after the operation is complete, Eithan suggested cautiously.

Skylar's temper flared. 'Eithan, how can you say that? If you don't do it, I will!"

Without waiting for further persuasion, Skylar dialed Ryder's number. "Ryder, where are you right

now?"

A deep voice responded on the other end, "Skylar, is something wrong? I'm at the office."
