Chapter 846 I Am the Fool
Before Luis had a chance to speak, his phone began ringing.
It was his wife calling.
He couldn't afford to ignore her call or hang up.
After all, it was his wife who had founded the hotel.
He quickly stopped the conversation with Alice, raising his hand to signal for her to wait in silence.
Then, he walked toward a quieter corner of the lobby.

Alice watched as Luis walked away, and in that moment, she crumpled under the weight of the situation.
The brief conversation with Luis had made it clear to her-she had been fired.
This was her final job for the time being.
No company or organization in Harmonfield would take her in.
She was fully aware that the Millers' harmful actions against Robin had already sealed their fate.
In Harmonfield, a single word from Robin could alter the course of everything.
With one command, it could transform someone's life from nothing into greatness.
At the same time, it could cause a person, or even a family worth billions, to vanish in the blink of an eye
The Millers were foolish to turn away the good fortune that came their way.
Not only that, they had the audacity to humiliate and mock others time and time again.
Since the incident at De Mountain, the Millers have never been able to make a comeback.
Alice had been dragged into the depths of despair, with no hope of ever turning her life around.
A deafening thunderclap tore through the heavy night sky.
The dam holding back Alice's emotions finally shattered, and tears she had long kept buried streamed down her face.
In a frantic rush, she bolted from the hotel lobby, charging into the storm of lightning and thunder!
The heavy rain, thunder, and lightning relentlessly struck, her delicate form, while the fierce wind her tears away.

Alice stumbled through the relentless rain in Ardenia, unsure of where to go.
As the storm raged around her, she couldn't help but think back to the once beautiful, now-painful
Chapter 8461 Am the Fool
She remembered her first meeting with Robin.
It was a magical night, with snowflakes drifting softly from the sky, and the air crisp and clear.
Robin, the charming and graceful man, appeared before her, his shoulders dusted with snowflakes.
In his eyes, deep and endless like the sea and stars, she saw boundless warmth and hope.
At that moment, Alice slowly realized that those eyes had once held nothing but warmth and love. Finished
It felt as if they had promised to protect her with his life, to cherish her, and to offer her a lifetime of happiness.
Back then, she had been on the brink of experiencing all the glory and honor the world could offer.
But that fairytale-like beauty was destroyed by her own actions, and it could never be repaired. She had once scoffed at a priceless gem.
Yet, she treated Zachary like he was the most precious treasure.
Foolishly, she had even told Robin that he could never measure up to Zachary, not in his lifetime.
Now, looking back, she felt nothing but foolish, pitiful, and full of self-loathing.
Today, reality had harshly forced her to drink the bitter cup she herself had prepared.
The Millers had once been destitute.
It was Robin's grandfather who had lent them a valuable one million, giving the Millers the opportunity to rise in Harmonfield and secure a place among its wealthiest families. Yet, years later, the Millers regarded Robin as a penniless nobody, heartlessly ripping up the contract.
They never realized that Robin's grandfather and his legacy were of an unimaginable stature.
Dragon Lord, the ruler of the Dragon Palace.
Such a supreme position was beyond reach for anyone, even if Zachary worked relentlessly ten times.
The Millers were truly blind!
It would be more fitting to say they were a disgraceful family-shallow, cold-hearted, and utterly lacking in integrity! The world is just.
If you wait long enough, you will witness how all wrongdoings are eventually repaid.
No one, whether good or evil, can escape the judgment of the natural laws.
From a distance, Alice gazed at the towering figures surrounding Robin-Shirley, Daphne, Martin, and
others.
There were the very idole and role models she had acnired to emulate all her life

Yet now, these esteemed leaders of Harmonfield stood before Robin with the utmost deference, like humble attendants. Alice let out a bitter, almost hysterical laugh toward the sky.
How utterly pointless it was to regret now!
A deafening clap of thunder split the dark sky, illuminating the stormy night with a blinding flash.
Alice collapsed to the ground, her strength drained.
Her tears fell as fiercely as the relentless downpour around her, echoing the storm's fury.
She understood, with agonizing clarity, that she had lost something far more precious than any gem-forever out of reach.
This was the bitter harvest of the seeds she and the Millers had recklessly sown.noveldrama
In Harmonfield, Alice couldn't even secure a job as a hotel attendant anymore.
The Millers had fallen from grace-her parents were gone, and her grandfather was clinging to life.
She finally understood the crushing weight of poverty, despair, and utter defeat.
Reflecting on the times she had mocked, ridiculed, and even tried to suppress Robin, a bitter smile crept across her face.
As the melody faded and the crowd drifted away, it struck her-she had always been the fool.
No matter the time or place, mocking those who are fighting their battles is a cruel arrogance.
After all, no one can promise they won't one day find themselves on the brink of despair. Sadly, this world offers no cure for regret-only the bitter taste of lessons learned too late. What's been hurt and lost will never return.
Alice slowly rose from the muddy ground, dragging herself step by step toward the center of the road.
At this moment, all she wanted was to escape this world quickly and find release from her torment.
A deafening car horn jolted her out of her daze.
Blinding headlights bore down on her, illuminating her frail figure as if to strip her bare of all defenses.
Bathed in the glaring headlights, Alice suddenly broke into laughter. She spread her arms wide and squeezed her eyes shut.
All she desired was for the speeding car to slam into her, shattering her body and granting her final escape.
The screech of brakes tore through the air, piercing and abrupt..

"Alice, get in the car! What are you doing running around in this storm?"
Finished
The window rolled down, and Raymond leaned out, yelling at Alice, whose eyes were still tightly shut.
Startled, Alice's eyes flew open. "Raymond ... Am I ... Am I still alive?"
"You're alive and perfectly fine! Now hurry up and get in! Why did you run off while Mr. Brady was talking to you?" Raymond's voice rose above the pounding rain
But Alice shook her head violently, refusing. "No... I'm not getting in your car, Raymond. Just leave me alone. I've lost everything, and all I want now is to lie here in this endless rain forever.
"I don't even have a shred of dignity left, so stop pitying me!" Alice cried out, her voice trembling. "This is all my fault-I deserve everything that's happened! I can't even hold on to a job as a hotel attendant. There's no hope left for the Millers!" Raymond's frustration bubbled over as he yelled back, Alice, get in the car! Who said Mr. Brady was going to fire you? He wanted to make you the vice president of the hotel's Marketing Department!"
Alice froze in disbelief. "The vice president of the hotel's Marketing Department?" she repeated, her voice faint. A moment later, she burst into uncontrollable laughter.
The rain poured down in torrents, blending with the tears streaming down her face as Alice laughed bitterly.
"Raymond, are you drunk or something? Mr. Brady offering me a job, making me vice president? Is he out of his mind? Does he want Robin to shut his hotel down? Hahaha... I can't even hold a position as an attendant, and you're telling me he wants me as vice president? What a joke!"
Her voice cracked as her laughter turned into a sorrowful cry. "You're all liars! My grandpa, my mom, my dad, and
worthless Zachary! All of you-you've done nothing but lie to me!"
"I know, I'm not a good person," Alice shouted, her voice trembling with despair. "I'm shallow, vain, blind to what matters. I treat treasure like trash and worship trash as if it's a treasure! I'm nothing but a fool-a selfish, pathetic snob!"
Her voice grew harsher as she continued, "The Millers lack morals, compassion, and dignity-we're nothing but a greedy, heartless family of opportunists. That's why we've fallen so far!"
Suddenly, a deafening crack echoed through the air. A blinding flash of lightning ripped across the stormy sky, illuminating Alice's drenched figure.
She flinched, startled by the thunder's roar, then let out a bitter laugh. "I get it now. I was wrong- completely and utterly wrong. But it doesn't matter, does it? There's no going back."
As Alice stumbled forward, Raymond quickly stepped out of the car, helplessly following her.
"Alice, I swear I didn't lie to you. Please, just get in the car. We can talk once you're inside, alright?"
He paused for a moment, catching his breath before adding, "Before Robin left, he said something to Mr. Brady. You heard it too-he helped you!"
Alice froze, her steps faltering as she processed his words.
Raymond gently grabbed her arm, pulling her back, "Please, Alice, get in the car. Honestly, I regret that
