“Hehe, I guess you don’t need to pretend anymore,” Nina Houry chuckled.
She had noticed during their last encounter that Robin had been hiding something. He was reluctant to reveal it until she forcefully interrogated him and threatened him with a small knife.
Robin was indeed hiding something.
He was related to Mr. X.
Or rather, he was Mr. X himself.
However, Nina Houry never acknowledged from start to finish that Robin was Mr. X. After all, Mr. X was such a mysterious, domineering, straightforward, and perfect man. How could he possibly be her brother-in-law?
He bullied her all day long. Definitely not Mr. X.
Even if he was, she would never admit it. As long as she didn’t admit it, Mr. X would always be her idol.
“You can think what you want, but when I hid it, it wasn’t targeting you. I wanted to investigate some things. Until I figured them out, I couldn’t expose myself to avoid startling the snake,” Robin said.
Initially, he was indeed investigating who had framed Elise. But as he delved deeper, he found things were getting stranger, as if he was caught in a web.
Eventually, he discovered that there really was a web – the Harding family’s conspiracy covered the entire Kisia. Luckily, he found a loophole and managed to break out, avoiding complete despair.
As for how his demeanor changed,
Regardless, Robin was a high-ranking officer of a country, a truly powerful person. He maintained a certain dignity and had a sharp aura honed on the battlefield. When he returned to his true self, all that was left was a sharp aura.
Previously, he was afraid of exposure, so he had kept himself in check.
But now, he had exposed himself.
With his sword-like brows and upright posture, he could intimidate the entire South Land army with a three-foot long sword. This was the image of a war god.
Knock knock.
At that moment, there was a knock at the door. Since Nina Houry was outside, she immediately went to open the door. Standing at the door was a stunning beauty who was no less attractive than herself and Alastair Angelo.
She was wearing a white coat, her long hair fluttering in the wind, her expression pitifully charming. She looked as if she was about to cry, her face full of grievance.
This person was Cain Johnson.
However, the moment the door opened, Cain Johnson was stunned. She had intended to cry and put on a show for Robin, but the person who opened the door wasn’t Robin.
Nina Houry was also taken aback.
For a while, they were staring at each other.
Just then, another woman walked in through the door, wearing the plain white dress that Robin had made last time, dotted with patterns, and holding a lunch box: “Um, I brought you a lunchbox, you said last time…”
This person was Rosey Chambers.
At this moment, she too was stunned.
All three of them were stunned.
The atmosphere gradually became tense.
Staring at each other.
Finally, all three pairs of eyes turned to him.
At this moment, Cain Johnson saw Robin inside and remembered her purpose for coming, and immediately started crying and walking towards him: “I have nowhere to go, you have to take responsibility, wuu wuu wuu.”
Responsibility?
Nina Houry was startled, and her face changed the next second.
Responsibility, what responsibility?
What does that mean?
This is my brother-in-law.
On the spot, Nina Houry stopped Cain Johnson and started crying too: “You can’t go in, my brother-in-law is busy right now, he’s about to call my sister, his wife, it’s not convenient for you to go in.”
She emphasized the word, ‘wife.’
Cain Johnson didn’t care about this ‘wife.’ She was just here for a temporary stay. She betrayed the Temples, and now the people from the Temples were after her. She had nowhere else to go, so she came looking for Robin.
Following the war god, the people from the Temples wouldn’t dare to kill her.
So, she came.
Whatever he was doing with his wife had nothing to do with her.
But the problem was, this little girl Nina Houry was stopping her and not letting her in. That wouldn’t do. If she couldn’t get in, how would she find a safe place? How would she escape the pursuit of the Temples?
Suddenly, Cain Johnson burst into tears again.
“He makes his calls, I enter my room, the two actions don’t conflict. He’s ruined my normal life, he should take responsibility, I need to move in.” Cain Johnson insisted, crying.
What a situation!
She couldn’t live normally?
Was she pregnant?
Upon hearing this, Nina Houry gave a resentful look back at Robin, then turned back to block her, saying, “You can’t come in, my brother-in-law’s daughter is already five years old, she doesn’t like strangers in her home.”
Both of them were crying, looking terribly serious.
As if both had really serious issues.
Their crying startled Rosey Chambers who was nearby. She was confused, wondering why the two were crying so pitifully.
“Two drama queens,” Robin muttered, rubbing his forehead. He wasn’t joking.
Indeed, they were two drama queens. One was Nina Houry, an art school graduate who majored in acting, and the other was Cain Johnson, an outright actor, and a big star.
Both could cry on command.
This was their forte.
They were both putting on a show.
Their act scared Rosey Chambers enough to comfort them repeatedly.
“Alright, let them come in,” Robin waved his hand, allowing them in. What was the point of blocking the door?
When Robin gave the order, Nina Houry pouted, but cleared the path for them.
However, she still blocked Robin and asked fiercely, “What do you mean? I thought you were living here alone. I thought you were hiding your lovers. A beauty and a cutie, tell me, how do you justify this to my sister?”
The beauty referred to Cain Johnson, a full-fledged star. Sexy makeup, perfect figure. This annoyed Nina Houry.
She was young, her body hadn’t developed well, and she felt overshadowed.
However, just because she wasn’t developed, didn’t mean her sister wasn’t.
She was certain her sister could outdo them.
As for the cutie, it was naturally Rosey Chambers. She didn’t harbor any ill will towards Rosey Chambers. They were about the same age, but she was more devilish, while Rosey Chambers was more innocent.
Her big watery eyes were like a deep sea.
How could anyone resist?
“Also, she said you should take responsibility. Responsibility for what? Tell me now, or I will call my sister. Believe it or not, in a while, my older sister could come over with Leslie,” Nina Houry threatened Robin.
At this time, Cain Johnson approached Alastair Angelo and smiled, “Director, I finally found you. I’ve come specifically for the scene we’re filming. You live here too? Then we might have to live together for the next few days.”
She was all smiles. As if they were old friends.
This was a bona fide actress.
