Chapter 193
At Robin's question, Callum's laughter abruptly died in his mouth. A chill ran down his spine as he suddenly realized the reality of things: since he had confessed, he had broken ties with Jimmy, and that meant he was now in enemy territory, surrounded by enemies on all sides.If they wanted him dead, he wouldn't even know how or when he would die."No," his feet moved, shooting for the door. He would not leave his fate in Jimmy's hands. After everything he had done to Jimmy, he knew Jimmy would never ask for him to be spared. But he forgot one crucial thing; if Robin didn't want him to leave, he could never leave. Just as he moved, Robin lifted a pebble. He was about to fling it, but a voice stopped him."Let him go, Mr. Ramsay," Jimmy said with a sigh."Jimmy?" Danny and the rest were stunned.After everything Callum had done, Jimmy was still going to let him off?They had never thought the Jimmy Dale they knew could be so compassionate.Even Callum, who had been running, couldn't

"So you're saying everything Mr. Ramsay said was a lie?" Jimmy barked. He darted over to Callum and jerked him up by the collar. "Fucking tell me they were all lies, Callum! Since you're playing the pitiful best-friend card, then look me in the eyes and tell me Mr. Ramsay was lying! Argh!" He roared, eyes bloodshot. "Tell me!""Fine!" Callum roared right back. "I won't play the pitiful best-friend card anymore! You want to hear everything, don't you? You want to hear the truth, don't you? Then I'll tell you!" His expression took on a dark shade. "Yes, he didn't lie! All he said were the truth but he missed the details."I'll fill them in for you! The day I had an altercation with Stephanie in his story was the day I fucked her right there on your matrimonial bed. You had left for work, leaving me alone with her as you usually did. And the other times he said I touched her were the times I fingered her, touched her boobs, and did all sorts of nasty things. "She's weak, pathetic. I man

"How can you say that?" Jimmy frowned in displeasure. "You're my best friend. Would I invite you to be insulted? I'm just as confused as you are about what's really going on!" He then turned to Robin. "Mr. Ramsay, can you please explain what's going on? Callum is my friend, and I'm confident in saying I know everything about him. Is there a mistake somewhere?"Robin's finger didn't stop drumming. He looked at neither Jimmy nor Callum as he said sarcastically, "I didn't know even betrayers had integrity they didn't joke with."Callum's face twitched, his heart skipping a beat. Did this punk know that he had betrayed Jimmy? But this punk had nothing to do with the Blackthorn clan, so how would he know?He suddenly felt uncomfortable all over. This Robin was too slippery. Just now he'd been asking about how he knew Stephanie, acting as if he knew something, and now he was talking about betrayal. He didn't know how to get a hold on him. But no matter what, he couldn't let himself be expo
Chapter 190
Callum had just been about to pick up a glass of wine when Robin's question froze his hand on the glass. "Huh? What did you say?" he blinked, looking at Robin with his head tilted in confusion, as if he hadn't heard correctly.Robin wasn't in a hurry. He calmly repeated his question with a faint smile, a finger drumming on the table. "I asked how you know Jimmy's wife, and whether you'd mind telling us.""Mr. Ramsay, he's Jimmy's friend, a brother from another mother. How else would he know me if not through Jimmy?" Callum was yet to process the question and the answer to give when Stephanie rushed to answer, trying her best not to give way to the tension she felt deep in her heart.Mr. Ramsay didn't know anything, did he?Thum!Thum!Robin's hand drummed on the table. "But he has a mouth, Mrs. Dale. Why are you in such a hurry to answer?""Um," Stephanie faltered. "I just thought I'd clarify. I didn't want anyone's mind going to the gutter, or assuming wrongly because of how you put
Chapter 189
Had they misunderstood something?Wasn't Robin merely Jimmy's friend, as he'd said? Why would Sheila and the others be so respectful to him that they would step back for him to go in first?It was as if Robin's identity was greater than theirs! They exchanged a glance.Who could be above the Tremendous Five?The government!Their eyes widened, their hearts skipping a beat. Could Robin be from the government?"Guests, the others have already entered. Aren't you going in?" Silas asked.His question snapped Danny and the others out of their reverie."Of course we are," Danny said, walking in.The others followed suit, their gazes falling on the dining table in the middle of the suite. One glance and they were stunned all over again by the seating arrangement.Robin sat on the throne while the others sat on ordinary seats. Even Jimmy sat on a normal seat among the others, leaving the throne for him. This time, their heads couldn't help but tilt in confusion.What the hell was going on?"C
Chapter 188
Meanwhile, Jimmy noticed his friends' grateful looks and knew they had mistaken Sheila and the rest for his friends and guests, but he didn't clarify it at the moment. Instead, he asked, "Shall we go in?""Sure.""Of course."Everyone said.Because Robin was coming, and Jimmy knew he might not want to be seen with everyone today or have himself turned into a celebrity overnight, Jimmy had closed off Shangri-La for the few hours Robin would be staying. So he calmly led everyone through the entrance to the Empyrean Hall.The rest noticed Shangri-La was empty as they walked in. It left them shocked.Shangri-La had never been shut down.Why would it be today?It couldn't be because of them, right?"For my daughter's birthday, I just felt it would be better to celebrate all alone, without any disturbance from business calls." Seeing their confused expressions, Jimmy explained. He couldn't possibly tell them he had shut down the restaurant today because he didn't want Robin's identity expos
