The conference hall at the Dunn Group fell silent, and everyone

Howard hesitated for a moment, taking a deep breath to calm his nerves before he yelke

"Ms. Dunn, shareholders of the Dunn Group, to be clear, I'm not trying to stir things up here. I'm simply laying out the facts.

"I've already tried to explain the pros and cons of buying the Southvale plot to Ms. Dunn, but the refined to listen to my advice.

Shirley stared icily at Howard, fully aware of his recent efforts to undermine Robin

Last night, he'd even persuaded Dominic, the president of SunEast Bank, to pull come shady moves. She hadn't had a chance to confront him about that yet.

And now, here he was, spreading misinformation about the Southvale property in front of the Dunn Group's shareholders.

If this man isn't dealt with, the Dunn Group will never know peace!

In a cold voice, Shirley said, "Howard, as a vice general manager of the Dunn Group, you overstepped yesterday with that SunEast Bank stunt! And today, instead of reflecting on your actions, you're here spouting nonsense in front of the shareholders. What exactly are you trying to achieve?

Howard quickly defended himself. "Ms. Dunn, Mr. Dunn Sr., and esteemed shareholders, my actions syesterday were only to prevent you from making a couly mistake with the Infinity Tower. I didn't want you to get duped.

"Mr. Kline just pointed out that without city government support, there's no way the Southvale plot ca developed.

"It's practically a wasteland, with barely any residents in the surrounding area. Forcing a development there would require an investment of at least a trillion dollars to get it off the ground.

"Sure, the land price at Southvale is currently low, but for a massive project like this, the Dunn Group's 100-billion investment is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

"As a senior manager at the Dunn Group, I have an obligation to present my analysis and perspective to the core leadership.

"I believe Ms. Dunn made this decision hastily, without careful consideration.

"Of course, there's a reason behind this!

"Since its founding, the Dunn Group, thanks to Mr. Dunn Sr. and all of you shareholders, has always been prudent, surviving many challenges along the way.

To my knowledge, the Dunn Group has never made a bad investment.

"But this time, we've committed hundreds of billions to the Southvale plot, putting the company's very vitality on the line.

"What's even stranger is that such a huge decision was made without a public debate in a shareholder meeting. The entire purchase process for foulivale was completed directly

"So, I'm telling you all-Ms. Dunn was definitely influenced by someone, which led her to make an extremely rash decision!"

Mitchell, looking impatient, cut in, "Howard, just say who do you think is the one influencing Shirley to make such a reckless decision?"

Mitchell's words made it clear he wanted Howard to name Robin as the person manipulating Shirley.

He'd already heard 1 loward spreading rumors about Robin before.

He was deeply suspicious of someone like Robin. Howard was convinced that Robin must have had some ulterior motive for joining the Dunn Group.

Through Howard's persuasion, many shareholders were now inclined to believe that Robin was nothing more than a fraud.

Otherwise, how could someone like Robin-without any background or connections-have managed to secure a place in the core circle of the Dunn Group shareholders?

Robin had made no notable contributions, invested no personal capital, so what right did he have to hold his current position in the company?

And now, his first move as president of Eastvale Development Group was to purchase the rundown, abandoned Infinity Tower!

It was only natural to question Robin's motives,

Shirley losing her patience, snapped, "Howard, if you have something to say, stop beating around the bush and spit it out!"

Howard paused, then continued, "Ms. Dunn, shareholders, what I mean is

you all trust Robin too much.

"Let's put aside the huge mess caused by buying Infinity Tower.

"Now, just this morning, he pushed you into purchasing all the Southvale plots.

"Ms. Dunn, by normal investment logic, does any of this make sense?

"Please, take a step back and think-what exactly did Robin say to convince you to make such a reckless decision?"

Shirley responded coldly, "Howard, that's not something a lowly vice general manager like you has the right-to question!"

Howard nodded. "Ms. Dunn, I know I don't have the authority to interfere with your decisions, but I'd like to show the shareholders some information. "Take a look, and you'll see whether Robin joined the Dunn Group with some hidden agenda!

"If that's the case, then it's clear he's been acting against the Dunn Group's interests from the start!"

Howard's words sem a ripple of shock through the room, as all the sharchablers exchanged uneasy elanies

A sees of douts had been planted-could Robin really be a fraud?

Had he truly approached Shirley with the intention of undermining the Dunn Group!

Mitchell, growing inpatient, urged. "Howard, stop stalling? If you have any evidence, show it to us right now? Put it on the table for everyone to see.

"We all helped Mr. Dunn St. build the Dunn Group from the ground up. Anyone who tries to sabotage it is our enemy, and I won't stand for it!"

Howard glanced at Robin, shook his head, and said, "I wasn't planning to reveal this, but this concerns the very survival of the Dunn Group.

So I have no choice but to expose Robin's secrets for everyone to see.

"Everyone, please look at this

Before Shirley could stop him. Howard had already turned on the display screen in the conference room. Photos of Robin with several women, including Freya, Maya, and Daphne, were displayed on the screen The shareholders were stunned.

Robin was shown in close contact with Daphne from Violetcrest International, along with a few other

Watching the footage of Daphne hanging on Robin's arm. Mitchell pounded the table in anger. "Robin. aren't you going to give us an explanation?

"There's been talk that you and Shirley are in a relationship. What are you trying to pull here?"

The other shareholders glared at Robin, clearly upset.

Robin knew that these photos had been taken by Connor, who'd been following him. He chuckled and shook his head. "What exactly are you trying to prove, Howard?"

Howard sneered. Robin, with behavior like this, I have every reason to question your intentions with Ms.

Dunn!

"I believe you're only interested in her for her money and status!"

Robin gave a cool smile. That's just your opinion. Your vision is limited, so it's no surprise that's all you

can see."

Shirley's expression hardened. "Howard, I already told you to drop this. How dare you bring it up at a shareholders meeting? What are you trying to accomplish?

"I know what this is about! Ever since that first executive meeting at Eastvale Development Group, where Robin embarrassed you, you've been holding a grudge "You're trying to turn the Dunn Group shareholders against Robin. You're pathetic!"

Howard shook his head innocently. "Ms. Dunn, you're misunderstanding me. This isn't what you think.

"My only goal here is to protect you and the Dunn Group! From the very start, Robin's entire approach to the Dunn Group has been nothing but a scam!

Everyone knows Robin is just a castoff from the Millers, someone they threw away after canceling his engagement"

"After that. I don't know how he managed to worm his way into the Dunn Group and get close to you, caming your trust.

"But his actions are highly suspicious!

"Especially now, with these acquisitions of the Southvale plots and Infinity Tower. Who's to say he isn't setting up the Dunn Group for disaster?

You can all see what people are saying about him online.

There's widespread speculation that he pushed so hard to buy Infinity Tower purely to line his own pockets!

Jonah only wanted 10 billion, but Robin offered 20 billion!

Who does business like that?

"This is a guy with no background, no connections-a nobody from the bottom rung. What qualifies him to join the core management of the Dunn Group? Aren't any of you questioning his intentions?

"On top of that, he's been seen with Daphne from Violetcrest International over and over again. Doesn't that make you wonder what he's really after?

"Everyone in Harmonfield knows Daphne never goes on private dates with men. *

"Yet somehow, Robin, who just arrived in Harmonfield, is already close to her. What does that say? "If Robin is a fraud, then having him in the Dunn Group's core leadership could be a disaster for us!" The shareholders began murmuring among themselves, all in agreement with Howard's accusations.

They believed Robin was a fraud.

Robin laughed. "Howard, you're in the wrong line of work. You shouldn't be in corporate management- you should be writing novels.

You've got such a vivid imagination. Everything you've said here could be turned into a script, maybe evena TV drama!

"Im not sticking around for this pointless gossip. What a waste of time."

With that, he stood up and walked out of the conference room.

Shirley followed him out. "Robin, I'm sorry

Robin took out his phone, dialed Sebastian, then handed the phone to Shirley. "Ask him how much it

would cost to buy out the shareholders' equity. He'll transfer the funds to you right now"

Shirley stared at the phone in shock. "Mr. Barker?"

"That's right. He's now running the Slaters' financial group, and he has access to a billion-dollar cash reserve. Whatever you need, he can deliver it.

"Just tell him the amount directly."

Seeing Shirley's hesitation, Robin gave her a faint smile. "Can't you see? Their goal today was to put you on trial.

"They know you've already purchased the Southvale plots, so arguing is pointless.

"What they really want is to cash out by selling you their shares in the Dunn Group."

Shirley finally understood. "I sec.

"But... will Mr. Barker really agree to help the Dunn Group?"

Robin chuckled. "Whatever amount you need, just ask. And if that's not enough, Mr. Barker can call on his industry contacts and have another 100 billion ready for you overnight." "That much isn't necessary. Twenty to 30 billion will be more than enough," Shirley said after a moment's thought.

"Then let's start by asking Mr. Barker to transfer 30 billion," Robin replied with a smirk.
