Shadow Assassin

Chapter 30

Shirley rose gracefully and said, "Hello, Mr. Liam."

Liam's appearance instantly created a buzz at the entrance of the banquet hall. Guests mingling in clusters swiftly focused their attention on the lounge area.

Shirley faced Liam, wearing an elegant sea-blue gown that fluttered as she moved.

Her elegant, statuesque form and breathtaking, aloof linuty drew many admiring looks.

Seeing Liam and Shirley, two of the most striking figures, together in the same place was unusual.

Lately, Harmonfield's elite circles had been buzzing with news of Liam's fervent pursuit of Shirley, the eldest daughter of the Dunns@@@@

Yet, no one had witnessed them standing so close to each other until now.

Among the spectators, many were captivated and envious of this power couple from Harmonfield's business scene, but there was also a lot of jealousy and bitterness.

It felt as though all the world's beauty and charm were concentrated in these two individuals!

Liam seemed to embody all the qualities of a perfect heir.

Liam stood out with his Ph.D. in economics from abroad, his strikingly handsome looks, and his role as the general manager of the Universal Group, showcasing impressive business skills. Shirley, on the other hand, needed no further introduction.

Her family's strong presence in Harmonfield, her title as the most beatom in the city, and her achievements as a business talent from a prestigious global university set

As they spoke, Shirley spotted two other individuals.

She noticed her uncle, Oscar Dunn, and his wife, Carol Hudson.

Drake had two sons, his eldest son, Timothy Dunn, and his younger son, Oscar.

ruly extraordinary.

Five years ago, Drake retired, passing the reins of the family business to his firstborn, Timothy,

Under Timothy's leadership, the Dunn Group reached even greater heights.

With Drake's successor smoothly taking over, everything appeared to be going well. However, three years ago, Timothy fell ill with a serious condition that kept him in bed.

Even though the Dunns sought help from numerous top doctors, none could provide a cure.

Given Timothy's condition, the duty of running the Dunns should have naturally fallen to Oscar.

Drake, however, thought that his younger son, Oscar, didn't have the qualities or skills needed to manage the Dunn Group.

Therefore, he had to return from retirement to help his granddaughter, Shirley, take charge of the family business

Oscar has been holding a grudge about this issue for several years.

Over these years, he and his wife have maintained a close relationship with the Hamiltons

They aimed to get the Hamiltons' support in taking over the Dunn Group

Once they found out that Liam was interested in marrying Shirley, they became very enthusiastic and did everything they could to make it happen. "Shirley, you arrived early! I assumed you were still working at the office.

When Shirley showed up, Oscar sighed with relief and eagerly approached her.

Right then, Liam finally spotted Robin standing next to Shirley.

As soon as he stepped into the lounge area outside the 28th-floor banquet hall, he didn't given anyone a second glance.

He was so accustomed to being the center of attention that he was stunned to see a boyfriend with Shirley.

For someone who saw himself as Harmonfield's top real shock to be overshadowed by Robin

it was in front of so many people.

Four years back, Liam came back from studying abroad and quickly became the top wealthy youth in Harmonfield.

With his impressive family background, talent, and looks, he seemed the ideal match for Shirley.

Yet here was Robin-mysterious and unknown-showing affection to Shirley right in front of Liam, causing him public humiliation!

Liam was not the only one furious about this situation.

The guests were also enraged by Robin's presence!

Shirley's uncle, Oscar, was the first to snap out of shock.

He quickly approached Robin and Shirley, fuming, "Shurley, what's going on here? Mr. Liam made a sincere confession, and you responded by bringing your bodyguard to dismiss him. Your grandfather would be furious if he knew!" "And you!" Oscar snapped, pointing at Robin. "Shirley is being unreasonable, and you're just as outrageous. Aren't you afraid the Dunns will ruin you for this!"

Before Shirley could speak, Robin scoffed and replied, "Who do you think you are? My actions are none of your concern. Get out of here!"

"You! You insolent bra't! Just for that comment, the Dunns and the Hamiltons could have killed you on the spot! Oscar said, shaking with rage as he pointed at Robin.

"Mr. Liam, I apologize for this kid's behavior. He's just out of line! Please

Liam maintained a pleasant smile and responded warmly, "It's fine, Shirle

"No matter what impulsive things she does, I'll always forgive her..."

i personally."

ayong around with me."

"Shirley, come give me a kiss!" Robin shouted, ignoring Liam's insincere comments and pointing to his

cheek.

The room went quiet right away. Liam stopped in his tracks, staring between Shirley and Robin.

Shirley was caught off guard by Robin's request for a kiss in front of everyone.

Without a second thought, she placed her soft lips on Robin's striking cheek.

At that instant, Liam's once warm and amiable smile became icy and menacing.

The crowd was left in shock.

"This guy is incredibly arrogant!"

"How dare he embarrass Mr. Liam like that in front of everyone? He's asking for trouble!"
