Gradually, Evelyn Hall loosened her bite. She had believed Robin’s words. He had come to save her. But when she came to her senses, she realized what she had just bitten was bloody, imprinted with her deep teeth marks. She had almost ripped off a chunk of flesh. She had exerted all her strength.
“I’m… sorry… so sorry… I’ll get you a bandage…” Evelyn Hall was filled with guilt. She wanted to find a bandage, but Robin stood up, pulling down his sleeve. “No need, can you walk?”
“I… I can…” Although her legs were somewhat numb, Evelyn Hall could still walk.
“Then let’s go.”
Robin got up, walking towards the door, leaving only his back profile for Evelyn Hall. Though she could walk, having been tied up for a day made walking uncomfortable. Or rather, she was limping. Typically, a man would offer to carry her in such a situation. However, Robin didn’t even glance at her, he walked straight out, saying, “Hurry up.”
“Okay, okay.” Evelyn Hall quickly nodded. But she felt a bit disappointed. This man was different from the others, he was cold, really cold. This was the first time Evelyn Hall had encountered such a man.
He was cold, but initially when she had bitten him, he hadn’t stopped her. He had let her bite him for a full minute until her heart gradually calmed down after being frightened all night. At that time, Robin was gentle. Unprecedentedly gentle. But now he was cold. Unprecedentedly cold. This left Evelyn Hall slightly stunned. But she gathered her strength and asked, “Can… can I ask… what’s your name?”
“Robin.”
Robin uttered this word.
“Robin,” Evelyn Hall murmured. She realized she had never heard this name before. Robin, it felt ordinary, yet extraordinary.
As they left the Bird family estate, Evelyn Hall saw people with tiger tattoos lying on the road, missing arms and legs, a large group of people. They were all from the Tiger Gang. Then, they finally got in the car.
Evelyn Hall was secretly shocked. Who exactly was Robin? And what was her own worth that would make this man risk so much to save her? She was a businesswoman, so her first instinct was to think from a business perspective. But after some consideration, she realized she was now an orphan, her brother was dead, she was Oliver’s designated woman, and the whole of St. Sunday was under the control of the Main and Faction. What value did she have? Apart from her body.
Touching her face, Evelyn Hall knew that even in her current disheveled state, she was one of the few beauties in St. Sunday. With her red lips, white teeth, apricot eyes, long black hair, and perfect figure, she, being a female CEO, had a high and cold temperament that had captivated countless men.
After realizing this, she knew that Robin’s intention was the same as Oliver’s. But Robin was gentler, braver, and dared to save her from the Tiger Gang’s camp, risking great danger. Perhaps he had been secretly in love with her. Perhaps she could accept him.
Evelyn Hall hadn’t realized that from the moment she let go and saw Robin, she had been enchanted by him. From that moment on, she knew she couldn’t escape from the palm of his hand. However, Robin was not interested in her at all.
“Don’t use your merchant’s mindset to think about me, I’m not a merchant,” Robin said from the passenger seat. He had seen the changes in Evelyn Hall’s expression in the rearview mirror and guessed what she was thinking about.
“How… how long have you been in love with me?” After some hesitation, Evelyn Hall asked weakly, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
“In love? Sorry, you might have misunderstood. I saved you just because you’re bankrupt, the ‘123’ orphanage you donated to has no food, the children are starving, so I came to get you,” Robin explained clearly and concisely. He had indeed come for the children, looking for Evelyn Hall. He told the truth.
However, Evelyn Hall was stunned. She quickly tidied up her messy hair, “I… I’ve been struggling all night, so I might look a bit disheveled now, but as long as I get a good night’s sleep, I think…”
Before she could finish, Robin’s voice interrupted her.
“My wife is a hundred times more beautiful than you.”
Robin’s words left Evelyn Hall speechless, her words caught in her throat. She was stunned. She had overthought it. Maybe he had saved her not because of her beauty, but for the children.
Then, ten minutes later, they arrived at the ‘123’ orphanage, shattering her last illusions. This wasno longer a maybe, but a certainty.
Robin got out of the car, looking at the orphanage. Kim had already left. Rosey Chambers and Elane were still waiting for Robin. Rosey Chambers didn’t have Robin’s number, so she could only wait there.
“You’re back.”
Rosey Chambers, who had been sitting on a chair, stood up immediately after seeing Robin.
“Yeah.”
Robin nodded. Elane, who had been listless, was stunned to see the woman behind Robin. She immediately approached Evelyn Hall, examining her in astonishment. “Miss, is that really you?”
“Yes, it really is me.” Evelyn Hall smiled, but it was a bitter smile.
“I’ve brought the person, so I’ll leave first.”
Robin prepared to leave.
“Won’t you stay a bit longer?” Rosey Chambers asked abruptly.
“No, I’ve already eaten one of your meals. That’s enough.” Robin waved his hand. Staying any longer would cause trouble for Rosey Chambers.
Just as Robin had walked a few steps away, Evelyn Hall caught up to him, asking weakly with a pleading look in her eyes, “You saved me, I am yours now. I am willing to do anything for you.”
At this moment, her heart was completely caught by Robin.
“If you’re willing, please develop this place well. By the way, I am Mr. X.” After saying this, Robin left.
Evelyn Hall felt like collapsing, her eyes were somewhat dazed. “Since you saved me, why don’t you want me? I have nothing left now, nothing at all.”
“Miss, please accept my condolences.”
At this moment, Elane approached her. She didn’t understand what Evelyn Hall was saying and thought she was crying about her family’s situation. After all, Evelyn Hall was the only one left in her family.
“That’s not true, I still have hatred.”
Evelyn Hall’s gaze gradually regained focus, a strong hatred surging in her eyes. “Tiger Gang, Oliver, you humiliated my Hall Group, killed my father, my brother, my entire family, I will not let you go.”
