Theres no need for concern ! My dad has already reached out to Daphne from Alphacrest Group . She mentioned that she might offer us a ten billion dollar stake in the Eastvale project . When the time comes , Ill speak with Ms. West and arrange for us to give the Millers a 30 % share of our portion . As you know , Alphacrest Group primarily owns the Eastvale Ecological Project . Alices eyes sparkled with interest in this information . Daphne from Alphacrest Group was a powerful figure , on par with Harmonfields underground kingpin . Rygar ! She was Alices idol and represented the kind of woman she aspired to be ! When Alphacrest Group first arrived in Harmonfield , Rygar attempted to stifle them . However , within a month , all his efforts were in vai Instead , he had to personally apologize and agree to a truce , From that point on , Alphacrest Group rapidly ascended in Harmonfield , with Daphne becoming one of the most enigmatic and formidable figures in the citys business community . Alice asked , half in disbelief , Mr. Gill , are you saying the Gills have really established contact with Ms. West from Alphacrest Group ? Zachary , momentarily taken aback , smiled and replied , Yes , Alice . So , we dont need to worry about the Dunns . Robin is just a lowly pauper compared to us . The guests at the party were equally astonished by this revelation . Daphne from Alphacrest Group wielded immense influence in Harmonfield , despite her low profile . Her mysterious background commanded respect without the need for overt displays of anger . With such a formidable figure involved , the Dunns wouldnt dare assert themselves as the top players in her presence . To think that the Gills had managed to align themselves with her ! It appeared that the Gills , as one of Harmonfields leading families , still possessed significant clout . The Millers breathed a sigh of relief .

She thought with a touch of cold amusement , Robin , you uncouth pauper , do you think youve achieved something by associating with the Dunns ? How ridiculous ! Youll never match up to Mr. Gill ! Dont even think about being arrogant in front of me ! I will eventually become a queen , like Daphne from Alphacrest Group ! When that time comes , if you dare to ignore me again , Ill make you beg for mercy ! Outside the Miller Group , Drake hurried to catch up with Robin and said respectfully , Mr. Ramsey , may I ask that you join me in the car for a private discussion ? Robin stopped in his tracks . He had initially intended to decline , but seeing the carnest expressions on Drake and Shirleys faces , he reconsidered . He remembered how the Dunns had publicly supported him at the Millers party , and Shirley had set aside her own dignity to declare her feelings for him Their gesture showed a profound respect for Robin . While Robin didnt necessarily require such flattery , the Dunns approach was undeniably heartfelt If it hadnt been for your intervention today , Mr. Ramsey , my beloved granddaughter could have been in serious danger , Drake said . Ramsey , youre the Dunns lifesaver . Id willingly give you all the assets of the Dunns if it meant showing our gratitude . From now on , Mr. Ramsey , you are our most honored guest . Feel free to take whatever you need from the Dunns properties at any time , and all of us at the Dunns will follow your directives . And , he added , what my granddaughter expressed at the party wasnt just for appearances or to flatter you . Its a genuine sentiment , and I hope you will give it serious consideration At this point , Shirleys blush had spread to her neck , and she shyly avoided meeting Robins eyes . Robin gave a faint smile . My previous help was purely coincidental .

They have returned to threaten us . We urgently need your assistance , or we may not survive this crisis . Robin frowned . I … dont want to get involved in your problems Drake hesitated for a moment but then nodded reluctantly . Ramsey , if you truly dont wish to help , I wont insist . But its snowing heavily tonight , and its already very late . It would be best if you stayed with us at the Dunns for the night and left tomorrow . Robin looked at the thick snowfall ; finding a taxi would be nearly impossible . Old Freds villa at Eastvales Crescent Lake was quite far away . Alright , then . Ill stay for the night , Robin said , begrudgingly agreeing . Drake sighed in relief and promptly invited Robin into his car . Drake took the front seat , deliberately placing Robin in the back with Shirley beside him . Inside the car , a pleasant fragrance filled the air . Robin couldnt help but glance at Shirley . It was hard not to be captivated by her presence . Despite the troubles of the world , Shirley seemed like a celestial being , untouched by earthly concerns .
