Chapter 110 Is She Jealous?
Con ad felt a sudden chill in his heart.
Did you just give away the baby you just got?
Was it just an illusion?
“Uh. Mr. Bruce, please wait a moment, | didn’t mean it that way,” Conrad hurriedly caught up and stood in front of Robin. “Then, according to Mr. Bruce’s suggestion, let Crystal sign the
contract.”
Conrad dared not show the slightest reluctance at this moment, otherwise, the Thompson family would get nothing. Since Robin requested it this way, let’s sign first and then discuss.
No matter who signed, after all, it was the Thompson family who got these three outsourcing projects.
Crystal had long been marginalized outside the core management of the Thompson Group.
Even if she signed the project contract, she still had to hand it over to him and Adrienne in the end.
Robin gave a cold smile and said, “The Thompson Group holds 60% of the shares, with Crystal as the legal representative. Of course, she is the one who signs contracts and manages. What does it matter if unrelated people sign contracts?”
Conrad’s companion. Adrienne. snorted coldly. “So what!”
Chapter 110 is the Jealous
Conrad hurriedly stopped her.
Turning to Crystal, “Crystal, you represented the Thompson family to sign the contract...”
“| couldn’t sign!” Crystal said coldly.
Confused looks were cast towards the scene.
Rumors had it that Ms. Thompson and Conrad's young wife did not get along, and it turned out to be true.
Such a great opportunity, Ms. Thompson unexpectedly refused to sign, it seems that there is still a significant gap between them. Conrad angrily said, “Crystal, sign the contract first and then we can discuss any demands when we get back, okay?” “Hehe, let's talk about it later? | have nothing to say to you!” Crystal turned around and walked away.
Adrienne stood in front of her, “You ignorant fool, just like your dead mother...”
“Smack!” Crystal slapped Adrienne across the face. “If you dare to insult my mother’s name again, | will kill you!” Adrienne went crazy and grabbed Crystal.
At that moment, a big hand tightly grabbed her wrist and threw her
out.
Adrienne looked up and saw Robin standing in front of Crystal, saying, “Don’t act wild here!”
“Ah! What gives you the right to stop me? Ms. Brown was right, you’re just a lowly loser..” Adrienne got up from the ground and charged
towards Robin in a frenzy.
Robin grabbed Adrienne’s wrist and said coldly, “Conrad, if you don’t take care of your woman. | will discipline her for you! Conrad didn’t expect this situation to happen, and immediately took a step forward, slapping Adrienne in the face. “Sorry, Mr. Bruce.”
“What? You hit me? I'll fight you!” Adrienne charged towards Conrad like a mad person.
“That’s enough! What do you think | am, the Huber Group?” Karina stepped forward and said coldly.
Adrienne immediately stopped and pointed at Robin, shouting, “Ms. Huber, he... he.
Karina gave Adrienne a cold glance and said, “Go away!”
Conrad immediately said, “I’m sorry, Ms. Huber, | will pull her out right away.”
With that, he dragged Adrienne out of the hall.
“Sorry, Ms. Huber...” Crystal stepped forward with an apologetic expression.
Karina looked at Robin, then looked at Crystal. “It's okay, you're Mr. Bruce’s friend, | won't mind. We have three projects outsourced to the east of the city, I’ll keep them for you, you can come and sign the contract anytime.”
“Alright, let's call it a day for today’s signing ceremony.”
With that, he smiled and gestured to Robin, “Let’s go, let's go back.”

Robin wanted to say a few words to Crystal.
Karina pulled him and said, “Let’s go, let’s handle the things behind us again.”
Robin hadn't come to his senses yet, and was almost being dragged by Karina towards the elevator. “Ah, why did you leave so quickly?”
Karsyn followed closely behind, covering her mouth and giggling secretly.
Karina entered the elevator, her face frosty and she remained silent.
Robin looked at Karina’s cold expression and asked, “What's wrong with you? Is it because | gave the three outsourcing projects to the Thompson family? They haven’t even signed yet, right? | won't give it to them in the future, so stop being so petty!”
Karina angrily glared at him and said. “Ms. Thompson was very beautiful.” “Huh?” Robin was taken aback. “What do you mean?”
Karina looked at Robin's confused face and a hint of a smirk flashed in her eyes.
“Recently, you have been getting close to Ms. Thompson. Are you trying to give her these three projects as a favor, in order to win her favor?”
Karsyn was very surprised. Karina, are you jealous?
Robin glanced at Karina and said, “What are you talking about? Should | go and please her? This woman is actually very annoying, always buzzing around me like a mosquito, constantly nagging in my
ear. It’s so irritating.”
Ahint of amusement flashed in Karina’s eyes.
| arrived at Karina’s office.
Karina made Robin sit across from her and stared at him for a while. Robin felt his heart race as he was being watched.
Before, when he was being stared at by a pack of wolves in the Bronia jungle, he didn’t feel as uncomfortable as he does now being stared at by Karina.
He checked himself everywhere.
“What are you looking at? What's wrong with me? Why are you staring at me like that?” Karina’s cheeks turned red as she let out a soft hum, “Were you with Cecilia yesterday?” “Yes, she invited me to have a meal at Purpeak Club,” Robin answered directly.
“Hmm?” Robin paused for a moment. “How did you know that Cecilia and | were together?” Karina pouted and didn’t answer Robin’s question, “Why did she invite you for dinner?”
Robin knew that it must have been Reginald who was talking nonsense in front of Karina, holding the photo Maurice had given him.
Robin looked up at Karina, who was holding a glass of water, and said seriously, “She is my maid, is it not normal for her to invite me to dinner?”
“Gulu!” Karina almost choked on her water, looking at Robin’s serious expression, she covered her mouth and burst into laughter.
“You said that Cecilia, who is known as the Purpeak Queen, was your maid, hehehe...”
“Thump!”
“Ah. | went!”
Robin almost slipped off the seat, the woman’s laughter was so enchanting that his bones turned to jelly.
“Cecilia was my maid, what’s so unusual about that?” Robin looked confused, glancing at Karina who was laughing uncontrollably.
“Fine, she was your maid,” Karina’s delicate face was flushed with a tinge of crimson. After calming down for a moment, Karina glanced at Robin and casually asked, “Did you stay at Grace Apartments yesterday?” “Yeah, what's up?” Robin said casually.
“Oh...” Karina paused for a moment. “I'll give you two houses and a property in Afterglow Estates. You can stay there when you're not busy. It’s not too far away, and the conditions there will be better.”
“|...sometimes, when | am busy at work, | would stay there until late.”
“| used to go there on weekends... If you were to stay there, I... | would buy some groceries and cook for myself...” The blush on Karina’s cheeks instantly spread to her neck.
Robin looked down at his phone and nodded directly, “Okay.”

Karina was stunned for a while, grumbling in annoyance, and slammed the table, “What’s so interesting about the phone!” “Oops!” Robin's phone slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground. Karina covered her mouth and laughed. “Did you hear what | said?”
“| heard. You buy groceries and cook by yourself? Can... can it be caten?” Robin looked at Karina’s appearance, which was as delicate as a hibiscus flower, and found it hard to imagine that she could make a meal that was edible.
“| didn’t want to cook a pot of chicken shit to eat.” Karina was annoyed and said, “You underestimate me too much. This weekend, let’s go to work together, and | will cook for you!” “Let's see if | could make a delicious meal!”
Robin hesitated for a moment and, judging by Ms. Huber’s posture, realized that he couldn't refuse to eat the meal she had prepared. He reluctantly nodded and said, “Alright.”
“Alright, you go ahead and get busy,” Karina said happily.
After Robin left, Karina immediately called for Karsyn.
“Ms. Croft, you immediately help me hire a top chef to teach me how to cook!” “Ah? Ms. Huber, you want to learn how to cook?” Karsyn asked, puzzled.
“What's wrong? Can't | learn how to cook?” Karina snorted, “Stop talking nonsense and find someone immediately! No matter how much it costs, the condition is that they teach me! There are only a few days left until the weekend!”

“Alright! I'll go find her right away.” Karsyn left Karina’s office and chuckled. “Ms. Huber wants to learn how to cook? That's something new, hehehe...”
The square opposite the office building of Eastern District Development Corporation.
Sky Café.
Miranda was frantically answering phone calls from relatives and shareholders in her family.
The shareholders questioned her about what had happened to the Brown Group to end up like this.
Several banks in Hallcester initiated the procedure to terminate the loan contract with the Brown Group earlier this morning...
Miranda looked at Jacob sitting across from her and said, “Mr. Walsh, please reach out to Reginald again and see if the Huber Group could take over our South City plot.”
Jacob sighed and said, “We were just like that earlier, how can we go find them again?”
Miranda furrowed her brow and said, “If | don’t get rid of the land in the south of the city that | currently hold, the Brown Group will be a real problem.”
“Mr. Walsh, | realized today that Reginald, Robin, and Karina were not together.”
“We approached him for a discussion, perhaps Reginald could buy our southern plot at a lower price?”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“We almost transferred the land to them regardless of cost.”
“| think he should know that acquiring the south city plot at such at price would definitely not result in any losses.” “If the market conditions had changed, perhaps there could have been a big profit...”
Jacob pondered for a while, “Well, we have no choice but to go this way. I’m just worried about what happened at the Huber Group earlier...”
Miranda gritted her teeth and said, “I know, it’s all Robin's fault for causing trouble behind our backs. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be in such an awkward situation. | absolutely hate him now!”
“However, | also noticed a detail, Mr. Aguilar and Robin seemed to have a bit of a contradiction.” “Perhaps, Mr. Aguilar, considering this issue, could take over the land in the southern part of the city from us.” “Mr. Walsh, shall we go and talk to Mr. Aguilar? There really is not other way.”
Crystal looked at Miranda’s troubled expression and agreed, “Jacob, why don’t you go and have a look? Perhaps they would be willing to take over the South City plot?”
“Alright, | guess | have no choice.” Jacob sighed helplessly.
