Vera swiftly set her glass down, recalling a piece of advice Robin had given her during their time at Dawnspire Heights Estates: A woman drinking alone outside was bound to attract trouble.

If Robin had been here today, she would've had no hesitation in raising her glass and drinking until she lost herself in the moment.

Where is that troublesome guy now?

wave of longing for his blunt, no-filter ways hit her.

Since that day, she had promised herself that unless Robin-her reckless troublemaker-was around, she would stay far away from alcohol.

With a soft smile, Vera spoke up, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Feron, but I simply don't drink.

Lincoln's expression faltered, a momentary shift in his smile. "But don't you think business and drinks go hand in hand?"

Vera inhaled deeply before responding, "Mr. Feron, business is important, but alcohol is not something I'll entertain. If having a drink is a prerequisite for doing business with you, then I'd rather not proceed." The air in the room thickened with tension.

Lincoln's face darkened as he shot a quick look at Sarah before turning back to Vera. "Ms. Silva, do you think you're better than me?"

Vera remained calm, her smile still in place. "Mr. Feron, if my choice not to drink makes you think I'm looking down on you, I apologize, but I don't believe we can work together."

With that, she stood, gathering her purse, ready to leave the room.

Sarah acted quickly, grabbing her arm and giving Lincoln a subtle look.

As Vera began walking toward the door, Lincoln's gaze followed her with greedy interest before he let out a loud laugh.

"Ms. Silva, I was just teasing! I admire women like you, who know exactly what they want!

"Alright, no drinking! You can drink anything else in place of wine. My apologies for being so brash earlier.

"I forgot that this was our first time meeting, and I should've been more considerate with my words.

"Please, don't hold it against me!

"Anyone who knows me knows I speak my mind, even when I don't always think things through. I appreciate people like you who are straightforward!"

He motioned for her to sit again. "Come, relax. I'll drink.

"I support your mother's vision. If she were still alive, she'd be around my age now. So, I understand your goals. You can rest assured. This is actually a good thing. "Don't worry. It's just a drink. Any drink works fine. Even plain water is good if it helps us talk business.

"The point is to strengthen our relationship and get the business done, right?

Sarah added, "Ms. Silva, please don't be upset,

"Business thrives on good relationships. Don't you want to make a name for yourself?

"Everything you've achieved is because of Robin and the Dunn Group, right? You've always wanted to prove your worth to him, haven't you?"

Vera froze, the thought of Robin knowing her true potential bringing a smile to her face.

Taking a deep breath, she turned back, her demeanor lighter. "Mr. Feron, I was only joking before. I'll have something to drink that's not wine," Lincoln's hearty laugh filled the room. "Alright, alright!"

"Ms. Tyler, please bring Ms. Silva two bottles of soda,

Sarah nodded knowingly. "Ms. Silva, you talk with Mr. Feron for a bit. I'll be right back"

Vera hesitated. "Aren't the staff supposed to bring it? You don't need to go yourself"

Sarah smiled sweetly and gently removed Vera's hand. "They might not get the ones you like. Let me handle it."

Vera nodded after a brief pause. "Okay, hurry back."

As Sarah left, Vera couldn't shake the sudden urge to call Robin.

She quickly picked up her phone, dialed his number, then hesitated and hung up.

What am I even supposed to say?

Meanwhile, in room 203, Robin had just settled in when his phone buzzed.

Seeing Vera's name flash on the screen, he chuckled when he saw she had called but hung up almost immediately.

She was probably bored, looking for some fun to stir up.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar face hurry past the door. Sarah? What is she doing here?

Is Vera here with her?

"General Ramsey, what would you like for dinner?" Ernest asked, offering the menu.

Robin put his phone down, dismissing the thought of Vera's call for the time being.

Back in the private room, Sarah grabbed two bottles of soda from the bar but didn't return immediately.

Instead, she quickly made her way to the restroom.

There, she slipped a powdery substance into one of the bottles, watching it fizz up as bubbles rose to the surface.

A dark smile twisted her lips.noveldrama

Vera, don't blame me. This is on you!

The world is harsh.

You are too trusting, too kind.

You let your guard down.

Now, you're going to pay for being so naive.

Someone as kind as you don't deserve the Silvas' large empire!

You're too foolish.

You have no idea how hard this world is. Everyone at the top is ruthless, playing their own dirty games to secure the limited resources the world has to offer.

That is the only rule of this game. Everything you see, the things you think are real? They're all fake.

And when I get what I want, don't you dare blame me. It'll only show how incompetent and foolish you truly are.

In this world, everything must be fought for.

You can only blame yourself for being too nice.

Your kindness will be your downfall.

The idea that good deeds are rewarded, bad deeds punished is a lie. A cruel, bitter lie.

Sarah sneered to herself, eyes gleaming with malice. Her thoughts were cold and calculating as she sighed deeply.

Vera, how dare you have a better life?

If you think you can be better, I'll tear you down!
