In the car on the way out, Jeff Reczek asked curiously, “Sir, you’re not usually so indifferent.”
Before, when dealing with Evelyn Hall, Robin was particularly cold. He was cold to the extreme. This was unlike his usual self. Normally, when dealing with his own people, Robin was relatively gentle. Only when dealing with enemies would he display a cold face, filled with murderous intent, and be as fierce as a thunderstorm.
“You wouldn’t understand.” Robin shook his head, glanced at the scenery outside, and slowly said, “I’ve mentioned Evelyn Hall’s background before. A woman, her entire family annihilated, and she herself was captured and tortured by Oliver all night. Her mental state has already collapsed. I kept her biting earlier, just to calm her heart down. Otherwise, a severe trauma would remain in her heart.”
“But this approach will leave a negative impact, being too gentle. Originally, she already felt loneliness. A woman, at such a time, needs the support of a man the most. I appeared, at the most appropriate time and place. Unconsciously, she would fall for me, develop a deep dependence on me. A hero saving the beauty, a classic story, just like that.”
“But if it were other people, it wouldn’t matter. We could be together. But I can’t. I have a wife, and children. They’re still waiting for me.” Robin deeply looked in the direction of Stillwater. A woman who bore him a child, for seven years, seven full years, she suffered untold hardships. How could he betray such a wife? Thousands, tens of thousands, none can compare to Elise.
“Sir, where are we going now?” Jeff Reczek asked.
“Let’s go nearby and buy a house.”
“Alright.” Jeff Reczek drove the car, turning towards a nearby real estate sales office. They weren’t living at Rosey Chambers’ house anymore. They needed to find a place to stay. Maybe they would stay in St. Sunday for a while. Buying a house would be better, especially since Robin was rich enough to rival a nation. His military achievements were outstanding, the rewards he accumulated were countless.
Blue Sky Real Estate.
At the entrance, there were not many people. At this time, few people dared to buy a house in St. Sunday. So the staff inside were somewhat idle. Several women were gathered together chatting and doing their nails.
At this moment, Robin walked in.
“Yo, at this time, there are still people who aren’t afraid of death and dare to come and buy a house.” Among them, a woman wearing fiery lipstick and heavy makeup saw Robin, then looked at Robin’s clothing. Ordinary, without a single luxury item. At a glance, he seemed like a pauper.
“So, are you here to buy a house or just look?” The heavily made-up woman asked in a somewhat sarcastic tone when he walked in. She assumed he was probably just here to look and not buy, wasting her valuable time.
“Buy a house,” Robin frowned.
“Buy a house? Can you afford it, Robin? I didn’t expect, really didn’t expect, to meet you here.” Before the heavily made-up woman could express her disdain, a woman came down the stairs. A woman who looked like a noble lady, dressed extremely luxuriously, looking at Robin with contempt in her eyes.
“Who are you?” Robin didn’t recognize this person.
“Mary Houry. If I say my name, you might not know it. But once I tell you who my daughter is, you’ll know. My daughter is Snowy Houry,” Mary Houry said arrogantly.
“Snowy Houry’s mother?” A hint of sympathy flashed in Robin’s eyes.
Snowy Houry’s mother, which meant she was also David Houry’s mother. To think that David Houry had died by his hand. But looking at this woman, it seemed she didn’t show any signs of sorrow.
“Mrs. Houry, oh my, do you know this person?” As soon as the heavily made-up saleswoman saw this woman, her enthusiasm surged. It felt as if she couldn’t wait to worship Mary Houry. Not because of this woman, but because of her daughter. Now her daughter had hooked up with the heir of a wealthy family. That heir had personally asked them to treat this Mary Houry well. His future mother-in-law. Hence, she was so enthusiastic.
“I do know him, a crude friend, no, not a friend, but a wimpy son-in-law from a minor branch in the family.” Mary Houry ostentatiously lifted her hand, showing off her 24K large diamond ring. Then, she flaunted her bag and said affectedly, “Oh, it’s a pity Karen isn’t here. Otherwise, I could have shown her my bag. This is LV’s latest model, the one she’s always wanted. But she probably can’t afford it. It was bought for me by my son-in-law.”
The corners of Robin’s mouth twitched.
Finally, he understood why his cheap mother-in-law, Karen, was so fond of luxury goods. One reason was her nature. The second was the provocation from this Mary Houry. Both were of the same age, same generation, and from the same family, always comparing with each other. This made Karen increasingly fond of luxury goods, until she lost her nature and even sold her own daughter.
“Why are you smirking? Are you looking down on me?” Mary Houry noticed that except for the twitch at the corner of his mouth, Robin didn’t show any other facial expressions. This made her uncomfortable. At this time, shouldn’t Robin have stepped back slightly, showing fear, surprise, or apprehension? What was this smirk about? Did this wimpy son-in-law dare to mock her?
Unexpectedly, Robin nodded, “Yes, congratulations, you guessed it right.”
Congratulations? Guessed it right? Mary Houry was stunned. This useless son-in-law had just admitted that he was indeed mocking her.
“Why are you laughing at me? You’re a waste. You can’t afford any of the houses on this sand table.” Mary Houry was immediately infuriated, pointing at the houses on the sand table.
“What if I can afford it?” Robin stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Mary Houry.
“If you can afford it, I… I… I… No, you have to buy this one.” Mary Houry suddenly changed her tone, pointing to the largest villa among them.
“How much is this one?” Mary Houry turned her head and asked the saleswoman. She simply chose the largest one.
“Mrs. Houry, this villa is the Landfield House, the most famous property of our Blue Sky Real Estate. The price is extremely high; it costs 20 million. It’s our company’s most prized possession.” The heavily made-up woman immediately gave a detailed description.
“Good, I’ll take this one.” Upon hearing the price to be 20 million, Mary Houry made her selection, then looked at Robin with malicious intent, “This villa. If you can buy it, I will streak here. If you can’t buy it, you have to streak.” Mary Houry sneered in her heart. Even her son-in-law might not be able to afford this villa. How could Robin, this worthless man, afford it? She had it all planned. When Robin streaked later, she would take a photo and send it back to the family, showing Elise her beloved husband streaking. That image would be extremely stimulating.
