The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259 This Isn't His Excuse for Falling from Grace!
Alison grappled with her sense of right and wrong, hesitant to share the truth.

She knew it would likely let Brenda down.

It had been seven years since Robin had gone away.

Brenda and Marrisa were probably unaware of what he had done during that time.

However, witnessing Brenda's worried expression pushed her to finally open up.

Maybe this information could serve Robin well and also provide clarity for Brenda and her mother.

Alison began to recount how Robin had handled the four troublemakers from Demberoa during their flight.

Brenda's face lit up with excitement.

This was the Robin she looked up to!

As she absorbed the story of Robin's courage, Brenda couldn't help but think back to their thrilling times at the casino.

"Alison, you won't believe it! Just an hour ago, Robin took down the two worst thugs in this area!

"A man like Robin, who stands up for justice and takes responsibility, doesn't he deserve our admiration?

"And he's so good-looking and kind-hearted! How could anyone not be drawn to him?

"That's why I wanted to introduce him to you."

Alison hesitated, then offered a wry smile. "I used to feel that way too.

"In fact, I even gave him my contact information on the plane."

"That's great?" Brenda exclaimed, her eyes shining with interest.

"What happened next?"

Alison let out a bitter laugh. "Once we got out of the airport, I noticed that two private helicopters had come to pick up Robin!"

"Two helicopters?" Brenda gasped in astonishment.

In her mind, only someone of significant status would travel by private helicopter.

Alison nodded. "Someone mentioned that those helicopters might belong to the Rogarios."

"What?!" Brenda was utterly stunned.

"Robin got on a Rogarios helicopter? No way!

"Alison, you have to be joking!"

Alison chose not to elaborate and continued, "I vaguely saw that the woman with him in the helicopter was Stephanie, the eldest daughter of the Rogarios.

"The one known as the Terenova Underground Queen."

"What do you mean by that?" Brenda was bewildered, trying to process Alison's words.

"Doesn't this just prove how remarkable Robin is?

"Sure, the Rogarios have a shady reputation.

"But in this absurd world, what's so impressive about those so-called honorable families?

"Aren't they just a bunch of revolting pretenders?

"Do you look down on Robin because you saw him with Stephanie?"

Alison let out a harsh laugh. "Brenda, that's not the point I'm trying to make."

"Then why do you seem so judgmental about Robin?"

"Do I really need to explain the nature of Robin's relationship with her?"

Brenda remained confused, her frustration bubbling over as she stomped her foot.

"Alison, could you please just be straightforward? This indirect way of speaking is driving me crazy!

"Just tell me what you mean!"

Alison shook her head and smirked derisively. "He's Stephanie's boy toy. Is that clear enough for you?!"

Brenda stood frozen, unable to process the information.

"Alison, what nonsense are you saying?

"A guy like Robin would never sink so low!"

Alison's smile turned icy. "I didn't believe it at first either.

"But have you thought about how high his status must be for Stephanie to personally come and pick him up?

"Not even the President of Demberoa would receive such treatment.

"You're family; his choices for making a living aren't really your business.

"Everyone has their own way of living.

"Robin's decision doesn't harm anyone, so it's not entirely unreasonable."

Brenda felt deflated, like a balloon slowly losing air, as all her joy and hope drained away.

The grand image she had built of Robin crumbled in an instant.

"Alison, I can't shake the feeling that you might be misunderstanding something," Brenda said, holding on to a flicker of hope.

"Robin is capable and strong-willed. Would he really sink so low just for money?

"From what I see, he doesn't seem to be short on cash right now."

Alison let out a cold laugh.

"There are plenty of opportunists in this world, both men and women.

"Many men seek to get something for nothing, lounging around and enjoying the rewards.

"Being a kept man, relying on a wealthy woman, sounds quite comfortable.

"Especially with someone like Stephanie, who possesses power and authority—what a life that would be!

"By doing this, he wouldn't have to struggle anymore, plus he could enjoy Stephanie's wealth and influence at will."

At that moment, Alison couldn't quite understand why she felt such intense contempt for Robin's way of life.

Perhaps it was because she had once had such high hopes for him.

Now that she faced the reality, her disappointment had transformed into deep-seated disgust.

Brenda noticed the irritation on Alison's face and sighed, resigning herself to the situation.

But her mood had calmed significantly.

"Alison, maybe Robin has encountered overwhelming obstacles out there that forced him into this life.

"He's been on his own; it can't be easy."

Alison smiled coolly. "Whose life isn't filled with struggles?

"Just because life is difficult, this isn't his excuse for falling from grace!"
