The Deadly Assassin Robin
Chapter 816 What's Lost Will Never Return
Robin instinctively nodded.
"You knew about this?" Shirley asked in surprise.
"Yeah, I just heard about it yesterday," Robin replied.
Shirley apologized with a sigh. "I tried to convince her to stay, but Rosalie was determined to leave.

"I think it might have something to do with that incident at the hotel. What her mother did embarrassed her so much that she felt she couldn't stay with the company anymore. "Afterward, I talked to her and explained that it had nothing to do with her, urging her not to take it to heart.
"But Rosalie insisted on resigning. Seeing her resolve, I had no choice but to sign her resignation letter.
"When she left, I asked the finance department to give her an additional 200 thousand dollars to help her through this transitional period."
As they reached the front of the small shop, the shopkeeper greeted them warmly. "Sir, it's been a while!"
"You recognize me?" Robin asked with a smile.
"Of course! A few months ago, you stood up to some thugs who were bullying a young college girl," the shopkeeper said, recalling the incident. "That girl was so timid. If it weren't for you, she would've been in big trouble."
Robin cut the conversation short. "Alright. Get me a bowl of oatmeal and a few sides for breakfast." After paying, he turned to leave with Shirley.
Shirley was surprised as she glanced at the takeout. "So, it was here that you helped Rosalie that time?"
Robin nodded. "Yeah, just a chance encounter."
"Robin... What a coincidence!" A voice called from the long queue.
Robin and Shirley looked up to see Alice standing in line. She was dressed in the formal uniform of a real estate company and was staring at them with a complicated expression. Beside her, a colleague in matching attire exclaimed, "Alice, you know them?
"Isn't that Ms. Dunn from the Dunn Group?
"And the man next to her... isn't he the one who got out of that luxurious royal convoy?
"That
guy is so handsome! He must be some rich heir. With a convoy like that, he's probably got money he couldn't spend in a lifetime."
Under the envious and astonished gazes of the crowd, Robin and Shirley walked away with their takeout, heading toward the convoy.

"Alice, what are you doing just standing there?" her colleague urged, pulling on her arm.
""Hurry up! If we're late again, we'll lose this month's bonus.

"Ugh, I'm so sick of this job. The pay is peanuts, and we have to arrive 15 minutes early every day to shout slogans like 'Good, better, best! Seriously, it's all nonsense! My life is anything but good!" Noticing Alice was still dazed, the woman patted her. "Snap out of it! No matter how much you stare, you'll never live a life like theirs. We're stuck being wage slaves!"
Alice forced a bitter smile. "Yeah, I'll never have a life like that. I really regret it..."
"Alice, what's wrong?" her colleague asked apologetically. "Did I say something to upset you?"
"I'm fine," Alice replied. "In my situation, I don't even have the right to feel upset. Life doesn't allow for mistakes.noveldrama
"One wrong step, and you'll lose the most precious things that were once yours. What's lost will never
return."
The Golden Dragon Guard convoy disappeared into the distance, leaving Alice standing under the impatient glow of the morning sun.
Her regret and remorse tore at her endlessly.
If only life could start over ...
Back in the car, Shirley avoided mentioning Rosalie or Alice again as she didn't want to annoy Robin.
Together with Daphne and Rita, she helped feed Renee the oatmeal.
Robin's phone buzzed with a voice message from Piper
"Robin, thank you! If it weren't for you, I might not be alive today.
"I don't know how to thank you.
"After facing death, I've realized how awful I was before, especially to you. I'm sorry!
"I'm back in Draconia now, in Poinegreen, Southmere. Where are you? I really want to see you. You gave me a second chance at life. Thank you." Robin sighed, wanting to ignore it altogether.
After pondering momentarily, he replied, "There's no need to meet. Since you've survived, live your life well from now on."
Fifteen minutes later, the convoy arrived at Villa One.
As they opened the villa door, memories of the chaos caused by the Millers here just months ago felt as fresh as yesterday.
Robin recalled Alice's bitter, sorrowful gaze from earlier and shook his head coldly.
She didn't deserve anv svmnathy even if she was regretting it now.

Every life path is the result of one's own choices.
The ending was already set the moment the choice was made.
Daphne, Shirley, and Rita helped push Rence into the villa.
The three of them cleaned her up and changed her into a fresh set of clothes.
"Robin, when will Renee wake up?" Shirley asked.

Robin looked at Renee's rosy complexion. "If all goes well, she should wake up in about two hours. Her organs will fully recover by then.
"Renee lost almost all her blood. If I hadn't used her internal vital energy to activate her bone marrow and keep her brain cells alive, she wouldn't have survived. "Renee is kind, which is why things weren't completely hopeless. Her body is weak now, but after some time and care, she'll recover.
"I plan to let her stay in Villa One for a longer period and I'll prepare some medicinal pills for her
recovery.
"Once her body heals, she'll be even healthier than before."
Just then, Shirley's phone rang-it was Amber.
Worried about disturbing Renee's rest, Shirley stepped outside to answer.
"Ms. Dunn, Mr. Quarles from the Southmere Poinegreen branch called. He said there's a major technical issue with the city development project that needs your attention." "A major issue?" Shirley asked, puzzled. "What could it be?"
"Mr. Quarles didn't explain," Amber replied. "He seemed anxious and said if we don't address it quickly, it could lead to significant losses."
Shirley glanced back at Renee's room. "I can't make it today. Here's what you'll do. Go with the directors of our marketing and technical departments to assess the situation.
"If it's solvable on-site, handle it there. Coordinate with other departments as needed."
"Understood," Amber replied. "I'll head to Poinegreen with the team immediately."
