We first approached Old Fred .

He told us he wouldnt interfere in your affairs anymore and suggested we speak to you directly .

And yet , here you are , telling me anyway .

Luella gave a sheepish smile .

I knew youd figure it out so I might as well tell you upfront .

Arent you worried Old Fred will say you betrayed him ? Luella laughed .

If Old Fred gave me your location , hes already come to terms with it .

Threy men stepped out of the car Elian Slater and two imposing bodyguards .

Enough .

Theres no need to explain it all to me .

Whats done is done ; bringing it up again serves no purpose .

Elian pressed his forehead to the ground .

Mr.

Ramsey , are you going to ruin the Slater family over such a small matter ? Robin shrugged .

Do you think an elephant stops to consider why it steps on an ant ? If it crushes you , it crushes you .

Whats there to weigh out ? Didnt you once say that strength is everything in this world , that the strong have the right to rule ? If you decided to provoke someone more powerful than you , then you have to bear the consequences .

Elian shook his head bitterly .

Mr.

Ramsey , please , just give me one chance .

One more word out of you , and Ill shut you up myself .

You … Piper went silent , catching the dangerous glint in his eyes .

Seeing Robins cold demeanor , she realized he wasnt bluffing .

Alone in the elevator with him , she didnt dare push her luck any further .

The elevator stopped at the 20th floor , and Robin stepped out without another word , heading to his apartment .

It was only after a long pause that Piper scrambled out of the elevator , rushing to her apartment .

She shut the door quickly behind her , then peered through the peephole , watching Robins door across the hall .
