The Deadly Assassin Robin
Chapter 176

Chapter 176 You'll Never Ride in My Car!

As Robin entered the room, Piper's chatter continued outside, her voice filled with agitation.

With no other options, he pulled out his phone and contacted the complex's security.

It wasn't until a couple of guards appeared at his door that Piper finally chose to leave.

Once back inside his apartment, he found Piper in a furious state, angrily tossing items around as her frustration boiled over, all directed at Rosalie. "Rosalie, I can't believe this! After all these years as classmates, you've deceived me! I'm so disappointed!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with rage. Rosalie, feeling helpless, began picking up the scattered belongings from the floor.

"Piper, please try to calm down. I had no idea you misunderstood me so badly. Believe me, Robin never intended to get close to you!

"You're living in a fantasy!"

Piper shouted, "You're mistaken! Robin is in love with me!

"My intuition tells me he thinks about me all the time!" Piper continued, her confidence growing.

"I've known for ages that many guys, like Robin, admire me but are too intimidated to say anything!

"They think I'm too successful, too pretty, and fear that if they confess, I'd just turn them down!

"So they admire me from a distance, trying to impress me, hoping I'll notice them," she added with a smirk.

Rosalie shook her head. "Piper, if you genuinely believe that Robin has feelings for you, then why not spend some time with him and express your feelings?" Piper, still fuming, shot back, "Why should I make the first move? He should be the one pursuing me!

"With so many men interested in me, why should I waste my time on him?"

Sighing in frustration, Rosalie replied, "If that's your mindset, let's just drop the topic and get some rest!" With that, she turned to head toward her room. But Piper blocked her way, still seething.

"Rosalie, I hate that you've been dishonest with me! You're trying to win Robin over for your own gain, secretly meeting him behind my back!

"Think about it, Rosalie. We share an apartment and are supposed to be friends. How could you betray me like this?

"They say that we have to be careful of those who are close to us. I graciously rented you half of my apartment, and this is how you repay me? You're inhumane!"

With a bitter smile, Rosalie replied, "Piper, we've been classmates for such a long time. I never expected you to view me this way!

"Robin helped me by getting rid of those persistent guys bothering me, yet you keep insisting he's nice to me because he's trying to pursue you.

"No matter how often I try to explain, you refuse to listen. You always seem to view Robin as a threat when he's around, as if he's out to deceive you. What else can I say?

"Now that you know Robin is the CEO of Eastvale Development Group, you suddenly want him to be your suitor?

"You can call me scheming or say I'm betraying you-it doesn't bother me! Don't you think your attitude is a bit absurd?"

Piper shot back angrily, "Do I need your opinion on my actions? Rosalie, leave now!

"Transfer the rent to me right away! I never want to see your face again. You won't last long at Eastvale Development Group!"

Rosalie looked at Piper, whose anger was almost palpable, and sighed deeply.

"Piper, please calm down. I said I'd be moving out tomorrow. Why do you have to be so aggressive? If you kick me out now, where am I supposed to go at this hour?

"Besides, I've already sent you the rent. It's not even been a month! I've paid two-thirds of it, so you can't just throw me out like this!

"If you truly hate me and want me gone, fine-refund the extra rent!"

Fuming and pointing at Rosalie, Piper struggled to replace the words, gritting her teeth. "Just wait! I'll definitely end up with Robin!

"I can sense how much he likes me!

"His indifference is all your fault!"

With that, she stormed back to her room, muttering, "Robin, no matter what, I'm going to have you! You're not escaping from me!"

Lost in her thoughts, Piper suddenly burst into laughter.

The following morning, Rosalie packed up her belongings, preparing to leave the apartment.

As she lifted two heavy bags and approached the door, she unexpectedly bumped into Robin.

"Are you moving out already?" he asked, surprised.

Rosalie forced a smile. "Yes. I really shouldn't have stayed here this long; the rent is too steep for me, and this place belongs to Piper. She doesn't want me around anymore, and I can't keep imposing on her." Robin nodded thoughtfully. "Have you found a new place yet?"

"Um... "Rosalie paused. "Not yet. I thought I'd move my things out first."

Noticing the heavy bags she struggled with, Robin suggested, "Why don't you leave your things in my room for now? Once you replace a new place, I can help you move them."

Initially hesitant, Rosalie realized that dragging those cumbersome bags to work and then searching for a new apartment would be challenging.

"Okay, Robin. I really appreciate it."

Robin didn't say much more and helped her carry her bags to his room.

As they stepped out, Piper saw them together and froze in shock.

How dare she move her things to Robin's place! I can't let this happen!

"Rosalie, how could you possibly put your things in Robin's room?"

Rosalie sighed. "Piper, I have two heavy bags, and it's not practical to carry them around. Robin kindly offered me his space temporarily."

Piper yelled angrily, "Absolutely not! You can't put your belongings in Robin's room!"

Robin scoffed, "Who I allow to keep things in my room is none of your business. Come on, Rosalie, I'll drive you to work."

"Wait... "Piper nearly exploded with rage. "Robin, she's just a pick-me girl! You're being fooled!"

Ignoring her, Robin ushered Rosalie into the elevator.

Piper followed them and burst into the elevator, glaring at Rosalie. "Rosalie, I never realized you were such a shameless person!" Rosalie shook her head, exasperated. "Piper, we've been classmates. You can shout all you want, but I won't stoop to your level!

"I haven't found a new place yet. I can't just leave my things outside.

"They won't stay in Robin's room for long; I'll move them out as soon as I replace a new place."

Piper scoffed, "You need to be out by the end of the day! Your things cannot remain in Robin's house!"

Seeing Piper's unreasonable attitude, Robin handed Rosalie his room key. "You can stay in this room for now, Rosalie. You don't need to replace another place. Stay as long as you need." "Wait, what?" Both Rosalie and Piper were taken aback.

"No, no." Rosalie snapped back to reality and quickly tried to return the key to Robin.

"Robin, I can't stay in your room. Plus, I can't afford the high rent right now."

Robin replied casually, "The place is free. It was a gift from Shirley. You can stay without paying anything.

"Focus on your work; your priority should be earning money for your mother's treatment. Don't worry about anything else.

"Once your mother is better, you can pay me rent at the same rate."

Rosalie looked gratefully at Robin. "But if I'm in your room, where will you go?"

Robin shrugged. "I have somewhere to stay. Don't stress about that."

Piper was practically seething with anger.

"Robin, how can you allow her to stay in your room? Someone like her doesn't deserve to live in such a nice place!

"Besides, that house was given to you by Ms. Dunn; how can you let anyone else live there?"

Piper lunged to snatch the key from Rosalie's hand.

Robin stepped in front of Rosalie and glared at Piper. "Listen, it's not your place to bully anyone here. Step back! Who I let stay in my home is none of your business, you id*ot!" "You... Rosalie, you're so shameless!"

At that moment, Piper's eyes burned with fury as she glared at Rosalie, thinking, Just wait-I won't let you stay at Eastvale Development Group!

As they exited the elevator, Robin led Rosalie to his car.

Seeing this, Piper rushed forward and yanked the door open. "Rosalie, get out! What gives you the right to sit in Robin's car? That seat belongs to me!"

Robin shoved her away. "Get lost! You'll never ride in my car!"

With that, he drove off.

Piper glared at the speeding car, her teeth clenched. "Robin, just wait! I refuse to believe I can't have you! No one else will take the CEO's wife position from me!"

Inside the car, Rosalie let out a long sigh of relief. "Robin, I'm really sorry for all the trouble I've caused you. Once I sort everything out at home, I'll pay you back for the rent. Thank you for helping me out." Robin nodded. "Just focus on getting your life in order; don't worry about anything else."

At that moment, Rosalie's phone started ringing wildly-her brother, Percy Grant, was calling.

"Rosalie, I messed up big time!" he said, panic evident in his voice.

"What happened? Take your time and explain," Rosalie replied, sensing her brother's distress.

Percy's voice cracked, nearly in tears. "Rosalie, remember the 100,000 you gave me? It got transferred out of my account!"

"What?" Rosalie exclaimed, shocked. "Percy, slow down. How could money in your account just disappear?"

"Well, when Mom was in the hospital and I hadn't started my job yet, I took out several loans to help with her medical bills. "Now, I have multiple lenders demanding repayment!

"I completely forgot to transfer the money you gave me to my main account.

"I just found out today when I went to pay at the hospital that those funds were all drained by the lenders.

"They're still pressuring me, and they threatened to come after you.

"Rosalie, Mom's surgery is coming up soon. What are we going to do without that money?"
