Chapter 235 Shadows of the Past Chapter 235 Shadows of the Past Robin and Vera pushed their way into the crowd gathered around .
45 Free Come The onlookers were all coworkers from the company , and they were murmuring to each other while watching Rosalie and the man harassing her .
Apparently , that mans Rosalies father , a real lowlife .
I heard her saying earlier that he ran off years ago , leaving her , her mom , and her little brother to fend for themselves .
Took up with a widow and never looked back , not even when her mom fell sick .
And now he shows up , doesnt even visit her mom in the hospital .
Instead , hes here , pocketing a betrothal gift of 10,000 dollars and trying to force her into marriage with some guy in his forties , who , by the way , has a limp .
What kind of father does that ? Hes worse than sc * m ! There are all kinds of folks in this world , but a guy like that ? Hes not even human ! Its such a shame .
Rosalies a star student from a top school , young and beautiful .
To be married off to someone like that would be a tragedy .
Robin listened to the conversations , then looked through the crowd , spotting Rosalie being harassed by the man in his forties .
In broad daylight , and hes that bold ?.
Seeing that Rosalie wouldnt budge , the man reached out and grabbed her by the hair .
Your dad sold you to me ! Youre my woman now ! Im taking you back to give me kids ! You refuse to come , and Ill beat you ! He raised a thick hand and swung it down at Rosalie as he yelled .
Robin quickly grabbed the mans wrist before he could land the blow .
The man winced , releasing Rosalies hair .
Who who are you ? Let go of me ! … Ignoring him , Robin turned to the battered and tear streaked Rosalie .
Whats going on here ? Rosalie looked at Robin , too / ashamed to meet his gaze , and whispered , Robin had to see this .
Unlock succeeded BOD sorry you Chapter 235 Shadows of the Past Shes my woman , the man spat out angrily , trying to shake Robin off .
Robin tightened his grip , making the man drop to his knees in pain , unable to speak .
All right , nobodys going to touch you now .
Start talking ! Whats going on ? Shaken by Robins icy tone , Rosalie pointed at an older man standing off to the side .
Thats my father .
Following her gaze , Robin saw a man around fifty lingering at a distance .
Robin , when my brother and I were little , he abandoned the three of us and left my mom to run off with some widow from the neighboring village .
Hes been gone for over a decade .
Not a dime to support us in all that time .
Now , the widows son is getting married but lacks money for the betrothal gift .
So , he came back and sold me to a man with a disability in his leg , taking 10,000 dollars as a betrothal gift from him .
Just then , a few security guards from Eastvale Development Group arrived .
One of them , spotting Robin , quickly stepped forward , gesturing at the 40 something year- old man .
Mr.
Ramsey , that man who claims to be Rosalies father , has already caused a scene at our company several times , and Rosalie has been avoiding him .
I heard he even went to the hospital a few times to make a scene in her mothers room , but the hospital eventually threw him out .
Hes been camped out at the company entrance every day this past week .
Rosalie nodded .
The security guard is right , Robin .
This mans no father of mine ! Every time he comes back , its only to bully money out of my mom .
Shes barely kept us afloat , and almost everything she earned , hes wrung out of her ! When Mom got sick this time , I tried calling him , hoping hed help us with some money .
He didnt just refuse but cursed me out , saying she should hurry up and die .
He … hes a … A brute , Robin growled , striding toward Rosalies father , Neil Grant .
Seeing this , Rosalie rushed to follow him .
Robin , he … hes tricky to deal with .
Hes a total scoundrel .
2 / Chapter 285 Shadows of the Past 49 Free Coins Robin glanced at Neil and gave a faint , icy smile .
I specialize in dealing with scoundrels .
When he reached Neil , he asked , Are you Rosalies father ? Neil sized Robin up .
Yeah , I am , and you are … Robin ignored him , nodding toward the scruffy man .
You sold her to him ? Neil bristled .
Sold ? What a word ! I found my girl a respectable husband ! Just then , Shawn , flanked by a dozen others , muscled his way through the crowd .
Whats going on , Mr.
Ramsey ? Shawn looked from Neil to Rosalie , puzzled .
This old piece of trash took 10,000 dollars in betrothal gift to sell off his daughter , Robin said , pointing at Neil .
Shawn , what would you do with a scoundrel like that ? Shawn blinked , then answered without hesitation , Mr.
Ramsey , if it were me , Id be even nastier than he is ! Robin nodded .

Good ! This scoundrels all yours .
Just dont kill him , but do as you please .
Yes , Mr.
Ramsey ! Shawn answered with a bow , grabbing Neil by the collar , whose face twisted in shock .
Smack ! A hard slap landed on Neils weathered face .
You ! Who are you ? Why are you hitting me ? Neil shouted , flailing his legs in the air .
Shawn leaned in close , smiling grimly , giving his face a pat .
Me ? They call me the Devil .
And if I cant straighten out a demon like you , what good am I ? Selling your daughter like some kind of animal ? Even I wouldnt stoop that low , but you did ! Oh , you think youre tough , huh ? Well , Ill make you regret every second youve spent in this world .
Come on ; Ill show you what real scum looks like .
Shawn turned and bowed respectfully to Robin .
Mr.
Ramsey , Ill take this trash out of your sight so he doesnt offend you any further .
Ms.
Grant , sorry for the trouble .
Ill ensure your father never bothers you or your mom again .
Neil could feel the thugs menacing presence all around him , making his legs turn to jelly .
Clearly , hed ended up in the hands of some seasoned bruisers who lived by their fists , and he knew it was over for him .
3/6 15:08 Mon , 25 Nov MGO Chapter 235 Shadows of the Past 18 % +5 Free Coins He quickly groveled and pleaded , Sir , please , let me go .
I I have no grudge against you .
I dont want to go with you .
Its too late for that ! You messed with Mr.
Ramsey ! Shawn jabbed a finger at his face and barked , You end up in the Devils hands , and going home wont be in this lifetime! Today , my men will show you things worse than death .
Youll know exactly what it means to suffer .
Next time you dare come to Harmonfield to harass Rosalie and her family , Shawn said with a harsh glare , every time you come , youll taste this again ! Lets go .
You dont want to come along ? Too bad its not your choice anymore ! With that , he tossed Neil and the other man into the car , and they drove off without looking back .
Rosalie watched Neil disappear with Shawn and suddenly grew nervous .
Robin , they wont kill my father , will they ? Robin replied coldly , No , they wont .
All you need to know is hell never trouble you or your mother again .
Now , return to work and focus on living a good life with your mom .
Forget people like him .
After hesitating for a moment , Rosalie nodded .
Thank you , Robin .
Robin patted her shoulder .
Get going .
And remember , if you ever need help , come to me .
Okay , Robin ! Rosalies eyes filled with tears .
At that moment , she was at a loss for how to thank him .
From a chance meeting , this almost mythical man had shielded her from every disaster .
Each one couldve destroyed her and her family , who were barely holding on .
It was Robin who had given her a new start .
Robin nodded .
All good now .
Get back to work before youre late .
Im still waiting for that bonus you promised to treat me with .
Got it ! Robin ! Wiping her tears away , Rosalie smiled at his tall figure in the morning light .
She used to think the world was unfair and that all shed known since childhood was hardship .
But not anymore .
Now , she felt like the luckiest person alive .
4/6 15:09 Mon , 25 Nov Chapter 235 Shadows of the Past 18 % +5 Free Coins Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine shed meet such a good friend in this vast world .
She swore to live her best life , following in Robins footsteps .
Watching Rosalies retreating back , Vera sighed , There are way too many fathers like that out there ! Seeing her serious expression , Robin added , Plenty of mothers like that , too .
Vera was taken aback and then broke into laughter .
Robin , youve got a knack for words ! Fathers who are scum , mothers who are scum perfect parallel ! Robin smirked as Vera laughed excitedly .
Her thinking is definitely not the same as that of normal people .
This woman saw the humor in everything .
Even this could make her laugh ? Why are you looking at me like that ? Vera checked her outfit nervously .
Do I look weird or something ? Robin shrugged .
Not at all .
I just wondered why youre so cheerful .
Well , since Mom left , no ones there to care for me anymore .
Ive got to make myself happy .
Should I just wilt away like some tragic heroine every day ? So , I look for little ways to feel good .
Maybe someday Ill find someone wholl look out for me too ! And I did ! That great hero with his golden armor , riding his chariot through the clouds , really showed up .
Robin caught the twinkle in her eyes and chuckled , That monkeys here to pick you up ? Get lost ! She shot him a look , then glanced at Rosalie with a hint of jealousy .
If youd treat me as well as you treat her , Id be even happier .
Come on , stop daydreaming .
Robin shook his head , heading for the company lobby .
As he and Vera entered the lobby , they ran into Alice and Zachary coming down the stairs .
Alice raised an eyebrow .
Robin , I just heard that Brookhaven Martial Alliance had a major incident .
Do you still dare for you ? show your face here ? Arent you worried those three will come Vera snapped , Alice , whatevers going on with Brookhaven Martial Alliance has nothing to do with Robin , so stop spreading rumors .
516 Chapter 235 Shadows of the Past +5 Free Coins Alice scoffed , He got into it with the Quinns yesterday , and now theyve all disappeared .
Who else would be a suspect ? Vera froze , looking anxiously at Robin .
Robin said nothing , merely sidestepping Alice and Zachary and heading straight for the elevator .
Wait up , Robin ! Vera ran after him .
Robin , is it true ? Arc you involved ? Robin placed the bank card Ronald had given him into Veras hand .
Here , take it .
Its the Quinnss payout for you .
Treat me to a feast tonight .
Meanwhile , as Rosalie , Robin , Vera , and the others walked into the Eastvale Development Group lobby , two disciples from the Poison King Sect watched from afar .
The one named Rosalie lives in the Graceview Apartments .
Well go grab her tonight , one said .
The master ordered that we must capture her .
