Chapter 218 Silly Girl, I’m Not a Bad Person

Book:The Warlord Is Back Published:2024-5-31

Robin Bailey stretched out a hand, causing Nina Houry to panic. Her hand holding the dinner knife trembled wildly, and she said shrilly, “Don’t… don’t come any closer… don’t…”
In the end, Nina Houry didn’t have the courage to stab.
But the next second, she found that Robin Bailey hadn’t done anything to her; he had simply touched her hair.
“Silly girl, I’m not a bad person.”
Robin Bailey’s voice was magnetic and gentle, unconsciously causing Nina Houry to lower her dinner knife. Her face took on a complex expression, “Who are you, really? An assassin or a mercenary? Why are you so afraid of revealing your identity?”
She was just a student, after all, with a limited perspective.
In her world, only such identities required concealment.
“A soldier. You can check the military records; I’m real,” Robin Bailey said.
“A soldier.”
Upon hearing this answer, Nina Houry breathed a sigh of relief. Although she temporarily believed Robin Bailey, if he had admitted to being some kind of villain, she would never have allowed such a dangerous person to stay close to her older sister.
A soldier meant a good person.
Only then did she finally feel a bit more at ease, and her expression softened.
“Who exactly are you?” Nina Houry asked again.
“That’s confidential.”
Seeing that Robin Bailey didn’t want to disclose, Nina Houry didn’t press further.
But she still had one key question to ask, “What are you doing hiding in our home?”
“What do you mean, ‘your home? That’s my wife, my child, and my home too.”
Robin Bailey replied nonchalantly.
Wherever Elise and Leslie were, that was his home.
His mother had passed away early, and as for his father, Robin Bailey considered him dead. So, the only people left for him were Elise and Leslie, who were truly his weak points. Anyone who touched them should be prepared to face his wrath.
“Robin.”
Nina Houry glared at Robin Bailey and then murmured, “I finally understand where did all that recent luck our family have recently had come from.”
Yes.
During this time, she felt as if she were in a dream.
Originally, their family was always oppressed, and Elise was always suppressed at her company, facing constant targeting and never able to rise. However, ever since Robin Bailey arrived, their family’s good fortune miraculously soared.
In particular, her sister went from being a low-level employee to the president of the famous Landview.
And the ones targeting the Houry family ended up defeated and humiliated.
They didn’t even understand how they had lost.
Likewise, Elise’s victory was unclear to Nina, who had won everything in a daze. Their family thought it was just luck and good fortune.
But now, she understood it was all because of this Robin.
Everything their family had now was all thanks to him.
“Wait a minute!”
Suddenly, Nina Houry seemed to remember something, her eyes widened, staring straight at Robin Bailey, “So, did Timothy Buosont come because of you? The gifts he brought weren’t engagement gifts, but for you!”
“I knew it. Why did Timothy Buosont send the gifts, but never contact me? Turns out he wasn’t interested in me at all.”
“When we were at the racetrack, he came for you!”
At this moment, Nina Houry remembered everything.
It turned out that Timothy Buosont didn’t come for her, but for Robin Bailey. No wonder he ignored her and always helped the Houry family without giving any reason.
She had thought her charm had bewitched Timothy Buosont.
“Ah… Ah… Robin Bailey… you knew all along… you just watched… your sister-in-law being narcissistic in front of you… Ah… how embarrassing!”
Now, Nina Houry’s face turned red, and she pounded her fists on Robin Bailey.
To vent her frustration!
She used to be just so narcissistic in front of her cheap brother-in-law, bragging about her charm and how she hooked Timothy Buosont, even playing hard to get.
Ah! So embarrassing!
“Actually, I told you at the time, but you didn’t believe me.”
“I don’t want to hear it… I don’t want to hear it…”
When a woman becomes stubborn, there’s nothing a man can do. And Nina Houry, who was still a bit childish, left Robin Bailey with no choice but to silently endure.
After all, her little fists couldn’t hurt anyone.
After the beating, Nina Houry gradually slowed down. However, she picked up the dinner knife again, pressing it against Robin Bailey’s neck with a determined look in her eyes, “You must keep this a secret, or we’ll both die today.”
“Alright, secret, secret, secret.”
Robin Bailey couldn’t help but smile.
This girl.
He surrendered repeatedly.
“Hmph, that’s more like it.”
Only then did Nina Houry put away the dinner knife, looking smug and still angry, but it also meant that the misunderstanding between them had been resolved, and they were back on good terms.
“Hurry up, take me back to school, I’m hungry.”
Nina Houry hugged her arms and spoke again.
In the end, Robin Bailey obediently took her back to school. However, after getting out of the car, Nina Houry’s mouth curled up in a smug smile, “Stinky Robin Bailey, did you think I couldn’t guess who you are? Hmph!”
“So you’re one of Mr. X’s men. No wonder you need to hide your identity.”
She guessed it.
He was one of Mr. X’s men.
That’s why he needed to hide his identity.
She had met Mr. X before, and they both had a similar aura. As for Robin Bailey being Mr. X himself, that was impossible. In her mind, Mr. X was a great man: aloof, domineering, mysterious, and the embodiment of perfection.
As for Robin Bailey, he was just a Robin Bailey. Hmph!

The Rowley family, one of the five great families – no, now one of the four great families – was very tense, extremely tense, and incredibly tense.
This was because there was an esteemed guest visiting the Rowley family at the moment.
“Is there something wrong with this tea?” said a man with a burly figure, sitting in the living room. Jeff Reczek held a porcelain cup, finishing the tea in one gulp, clearly dissatisfied with the small size of the cup, and looking displeased.
“My lord sent me here to pay you all a visit, and this is how you treat me? What’s the meaning of this? If you look down on me, it means you look down on Mr. X. Fine, I’ll go back and tell my lord that you despise him.”
With a clatter, Jeff Reczek stood up, ready to leave.
The members of the Rowley family immediately broke into a cold sweat and blocked the door. Ben Rowley, the head of the Rowley family, approached Jeff Reczek with a forced smile on his face, “That was our mistake. Please give Mr. Reczek another cup of tea.”
He appeared cheerful on the outside, but was complaining internally.
That cup of tea wasn’t ordinary tea; it was their treasure. There was only a little bit, worth 2. 2 million, and they had used it all to make tea for Jeff Reczek, fearing that Mr. X would be offended. Jeff Reczek drank it in one gulp and still wasn’t satisfied.
And the key was, he scared them!
