"Since Robin still likes you, you could use the Dunny trist in him to our advantage. Have him help us get back those plots that belong to the Millers.

The Dunns aren't hurting for money, and they probably don't even care about this amount.

"Besides, Robin owes us. Remember how he flaunted that engagement contract and embarrassed the Millers in front of all of Harmonfield?

"If it weren't for our family, would the Dunns have ever hired him as a bodyguard?

"And without our family's connections, he wouldn't last a single day in Harmonfield."

Hannah and the others nodded in agreement, urging Alice, "Alice, he owes us so much! Having him do this little favor is the least he can do, right?" Someone like him should be glad we're even asking. The fact that we're turning to him shows we think. he's worth something, another relative added. Hearing all this, a proud smile spread across Alice's face.

She was certain that if she asked, Robin would comply-especially since it wouldn't be his own money he'd the using but the Dunns

Besides, she thought, the Dunns wouldn't even miss such a small amount.

After a moment, she nodded, keeping her pride in check. "Grandpa, I'll think about it."

Hank chuckled. "Good, Alice. I want to hand over the Millers to you in the future. At critical moments, you must consider the family's interests."

Alice confidently replied, "Grandpa, I believe that as soon as 1 ask. Robin will be eager to help me."

"However," she continued, "I don't want to lose face in front of him. I'll think it over and aim to make him beg me to return those Southvale plots.

"Grandpa, I'm feeling a bit tired. I want to rest for a while before dealing with this. I'll get back to you after I sort it out."

Though Alice had already decided to approach Robin about reclaiming the Southvale plots, she was still irritated by the earlier attitudes of Hannah and the others. She wanted to make them uncomfortable for a few days before addressing the situation

In the future, I will be the head of the Millers!

Do you all think you can pressure me to do things just because you're my seniors? I won't be swayed by you!

I will eventually become a queen like Daphne.

It's said that Daphne is ruthless in her dealings, and I will be just like her!

When I finally sit in the chairperson's seat of the Miller Group I won't spare any of you!

If you dare speak to me like you did today, I'll make your livesniserable!

As these thoughts crossed her mind, Alice couldn't help but laugh, startling Hank so much that he nearly toppled off his chair.

Alice hurriedly supported him. 'Grandpa, are you alright?"

Hank took a moment to catch his breath. "You startled me, child. Your sudden laughter took me by surprise."

"I'm sorry, Grandpa. I was just thinking about how you built the Miller Group from scratch all those years ago, leading to today's success. I got a bit too excited and laughed. "You're amazing, Grandpa," she added sincerely.

Hank smiled with satisfaction. "Alice, just do your best. I have high hopes for you."

Not lingering any longer, Alice turned to leave the villas hall, with Hannah and the others quickly following her.

"Alice, wait a moment! I want to tell you that if you can help us get back the Southvale plots, we will definitely vote for you when it comes time to elect the new chairperson of the Miller Group Alice looked at her aunts, uncles, and cousins, cursing them in her mind a thousand times.

These opportunistic hypocrites!

But reality loomed large..

If she couldn't reclaim the Southvale plots, she would truly have no chance at becoming the chairperson of the Miller Group.

Her aunts and uncles held the majority of the voting power in the board, and if they opposed her, even her grandfather's support wouldn't be enough for her to secure the position.

Since she aspired to be a queen like Daphne, she had to endure these opportunistic relatives for now. One day, she would step on them!

Feigning a look of difficulty, she replied, "Aunt Hannah, I can only try my best to negotiate with them. I can't guarantee success, I was just worried about Grandpa's reaction earlier.

Hannah finally managed a smile. "Alice, don't worry. As long as you can recover all the plots in Southvale today, we will keep our promise and support your election as the chairperson of the Miller Group." Alice didn't want to engage further with them, so she turned and left the Millers' villa.

As she walked away, Hannah and the others exchanged glances, pondering their next move. "Why don't we just go directly to Robin and tell him Alice sent us?"

"I'm worried that Alice will negotiate to reclaim those low-priced lands and then raise the price on us, which would mean a huge loss."

"I heard that Robin is working at the Eastvale Development Group under the Dunns. We should hurry over there."

After they made their plans, they immediately drove toward the Eastvale Development Group.

Meanwhile, Alice had intended to go straight to replace Robin but hesitated, feeling it might make her appear desperate. Instead, she decided to have Vera reach out to Robin.

She believed that once Robin learned of her intentions, he would come looking for her.

The thought of Robin's surprised expression upon seeing her made her smile involuntarily

She picked up her phone and called Vera.

After a few rings, Vera finally answered, sounding groggy, "Alice, I was still asleep! Why are you calling me so early?"

"It's almost noon, Vera! Wake up! I need your help with something important."

Vera yawned. "What is it? Just tell me."

"Vera, did you see the news this morning?"

Vera groaned in annoyance, "What garbage news? I dont care; I just want to sleep a bit longer."

"It's about the Southvale plots. Vera, stop sleeping and wake up! I need to talk to you about something important."

With an irritated tone, Vera replied, "Ugh, don't even mention the Southvale plots again! You and Robin have put me in such a bad position!

"I worked hard to save some money, and that j'rk Robin used it all to buy your family's land!

"Alice, I've really helped you a lot; I've collected all the scrap from your family"

Alice gave a wry smile. "Vera, do you know what decision the city government announced today?"

"I'm not interested in what the city government announced; it has nothing to do with me!"

"Vera, Southvale plots will be a key investment area for the city government over the next 20 years. The market price of Southvale plots has already multiplied several times. That b*stard Robin and the Dunns have made a fortune" Only then did Vera sit up. pondering Alice's words. The city government announced key investments in Southvale plots?

What does that have to do with me?!

"Alice, why did you look for me? All the paperwork isn't in my hands. The little money I have was loaned

to Robin, you know that.

And you even warned me back then never to get involed with Southvale plots! I was just lending him money?"

Alice fell silent for a moment. "I know about that. What mean is, you need to help me get back all the Southwale plots that Robin has."

"What? I must have misheard! Alice, I remember you cursed that only beasts would go back on their word!

"Now you want me to do this? I'm not going! Isn't that barrassing?"

Alice sighed and said, "Vera, are you cursing me? I have my reasons; my aunt and uncle forced me to do this. If I don't...

Before Alice could finish her sentence, Vera interrupted her directly. "Don't give me those excuses; I can't

do this!

"When the Southvale plots was worthless, you begged to sell it to someone. Now that it's valuable, you want it back! Do you think this is a game? "You took all the advantages, and you think Robin is an idiot? I'm not going along with this!

"Alice, I'm telling you, don't do anything shameless like this!"

Alice replied angrily, "Vera, how do you know that Robin wouldn't be willing? You know how much he likes me. Maybe he'll be happier if I do this!

"Go to hell! What do you think Robin is? I'm not talking to you anymore; you're driving me crazy!"

Unwilling to listen to Alice any longer, Vera hung up the phone.

This woman is truly despicable!

She had begged someone to sell the plots, and now that the Southvale plots had appreciated in value, she wanted to take it back at the original price. How shameless she is!

As Vera thought about this, her teeth itched with anger

She immediately turned on the TV, where news about the Southvale plots was being broadcast.

Vera also opened her phone, and the internet was buzzing with discussions about the Southvale plots.

The most talked-about topic was how the Dunn Group, with its keen insight, had invested billions in the Southvale plots, becoming the biggest winner in Harmonfield.

Capital investors from Harmonfield and the surrounding areas were currently gathering around the Dunn Group, hoping to get a piece of the action in Southvale, Looking at the current market price of the Southvale plots, Vera was shocked.

Recalling the Southvale project she held, its market value was now approaching ten billion.

At that moment, she suddenly remembered what Robin had told her before.

At the time, she thought Robin wanted her to liquidate her shares in Davidson Group to buy the Southvale plots from the Millers for Alice.

Now it seemed that wasn't the case at all.

Robin might have known about the Southvale plots' information long ago.

She remembered Robin saying that this was to help her fulfill her wish of reclaiming all the assets left by her mother years ago.

Thinking back, it really was like that.

With this money, she could realize her long-held wishes.

Robin was helping me, not trying to please Alice!

Otherwise, how could he buy the most profitable assets of the Millers under my name?

As Vera thought about this, she smiled.

You little rascal! Robin, have you secretly liked me for a long time?

Hahaha! How embarrassing!

It seems / underestimated you!

Just how much background and power do you have?

Every time you make a move, it surprises me!

You ever know secrets as high-level as those from the city government!

Oh, no!

Alice will definitely look for Robin again. I have to stop this woman!

With this thought in mind, Vera quickly tidied herself up and drove straight to the Eastvale Development Group.
