Chapter 420
420:
“And what if it is?” Balfour snapped, fury bubbling to the surface.
Robin turned his attention to Moss, his expression razor-sharp. “You really gonna let your boy spout off like this? If memory serves, our families still have that major arrangement pending, right?”
Robin let out a low, humorless laugh, fingers combing through his hair, his energy crackling with wild unpredictability. “You know my grandfather dotes on me. I’m the one he holds dearest. With a single suggestion from me, the Millers could pull the plug on your deal. Sure, we’d feel the blow—but it’s hardly more than a scratch for us. But your clan? Defy ours, and you’ll wish you hadn’t.”
Robin’s chuckle was a deliberate taunt, his posture radiating indifference as he coolly scanned their faces. He’d landed a brutal blow, and though Moss was seething inside, he had no outlet to retaliate.
Moss often told himself that without that powerful surname, Robin would be insignificant. If the Miller influence vanished, he was certain he could crush Robin with ease. He had long been scheming to topple the Millers and claim their throne. But for the time being, diplomacy was his only option.
Forcing himself to remain calm, Moss stretched his lips into a tense grin. “Mr. Miller, let’s have a civilized conversation. Your associate roughed up my kid. Surely we’re owed some fair form of justice?”
“Your son came at me first,” Christina chimed in plainly.
“My boy would never!” Alexa shot back. “You must’ve seduced him!”
“Looks like you’ve spoiled him into stupidity. Bravo to you and your partner. The Glyns really raised a champion of failure,” Christina’s voice dripped venom, her grin razor-sharp. The constant pampering had clearly convinced Balfour he could act without ever facing the consequences.
“Miss Jones, please refrain from running your mouth!” Moss growled, struggling to suppress the fury boiling within.
“I’m just telling it like it is.” Christina glanced at Robin, raising an eyebrow. “You agree, right? Mr. Miller?”
“She’s got it nailed,” Robin responded coolly, his stare slicing through Moss. “Your son’s torn apart more lives than I can count. And every time, you’ve swept it under the rug. He’s only still around because you’ve bailed him out. He started it and got his penis ruined. Honestly? He’s lucky this is all he got.”

Moss felt gutted, humiliated by some smug kid—and even worse, powerless to defend his own blood.
“And what if I say she’s gotta pay for this? You really ready to blow up the partnership over this girl, Mr. Miller?”
Robin retorted without hesitation, “Losing a little money won’t hurt us. But if the Glyn family is itching for a fight, you’ll be the ones to pay. If you really want to disappear from Kitaso forever, we’ll make it happen. Money means nothing if it comes down to that.”
Moss found himself stunned that Robin would take things this far over a woman. The fallout from the Miller family pulling out of their joint ventures with the Glyns would be nothing short of disastrous. The breach-of-contract penalties alone would be staggering, not to mention the long-term damage to their reputation.
