“Mr. Spencer, what can I do for you?”
Robin was a looker, but he’s got a bit of a short fuse
The last time he rented out the whole place looking for Emilia, Hailey was so scared she didn’t dare make a peep.
She was scared out of her wits, but to protect Eleanor, she tricked Robin into thinking Emilia had skipped town for G country
Now he’s back and probably knows she lied, coming at her like a bully looking for a fight.
While Hailey’s trying to figure out why Robin’s looking for her, she’s acting cool as a cucumber and flashing him a smile.
When dealing with hot–headed folks, you’ve got to keep it cool and play along.
“Same question where’s Emilia?”
Robin’s standing there, hands in his pockets, a head taller than Hailey, and he has to look down to see her
Luckily, he popped a pill before he left the house to keep his temper in check, otherwise, he would’ve blown his top by now
As the head honcho of the Spencer family, his status is no joke. And here’s Hailey, making him stand while talking. She didn’t know the first thing about doing business.
Hailey was just so scared that she forgot to invite him to sit down in a private room. It’s not like she didn’t know how to do business
For any other rich guy, she would’ve rolled out the red carpet.
But because she lied to him, Hailey’s guilty conscience was making her hesitate
But now that he’s only asking about Emilia and not giving her a hard time, Hailey breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed like Robin’s just like she thought, too impatient to look up Emilia’s flight information and ended up buying her story
If he bought her story, then he wouldn’t come back looking for payback. That’s not too bad.
But how’s she going to explain Emilia?
Hailey thought it over and decided to keep up the charade.
He didn’t seem too bright anyway.
“UmHailey coughs, covering her mouth, and puts on a sad face. “Emilia passed away. She was buried not long ago. If you came a bit earlier, you could’ve seen her one
last time
“What?”
Robin looked like he’s been struck by lightning, his eyes burning with rage and glaring at Hailey.
“Say that again!”
Hailey’s hand is at the small of her back, and she is pinching herself hard while forcing the tears to come out.
“Mr Spencer, Emilia’s dead.”
Robin feels suffocated, not because of Emilia’s death but because the person he’s been looking for so long is suddenly dead.
“Where’s her grave?”
Robin was half–believing, half–doubting The news he got was that Emilia was still alive
Her company, Vanguard Architects, was still up and running. How could she be dead all of a sudden?
What he didn’t know was that Ethan Ziegler had already changed all of Emilia’s information from recent years to prevent the Pine family from finding her, including the news
of her death
And Bernard had also changed all the information to prevent Robin from tracing it back to Eleanor, who has used Emilia’s identity.
In other words, almost all the information Robin had found about Emilia in recent years was fake.
The only real information was that ‘Emilia‘, who came back from G country a year ago, said that first person she looked for was Hailey.
Other than that, he knew nothing.
So if he wants to dig up some information, he has to go to Hailey
But then the first thing Hailey said was that Emilia had passed away. Who can he go to confirm this?
Robin had spent so much time and resources looking for Emilia, even neglecting his own business.
And now the person he’s spent all this time looking for was dead?
Robin is livid, so angry that not even the pills can keep his rage in check
His face has turned pale from anger, and his expression is stem. He strides forward, grabs Hailey’s throat, and pushes her against the wall.
“Tell me! Where is her grave?”
