?Chapter 621:


    “I am.” She nodded before adding, “And do me a favor—change the name of the Jones Group. I don’t want to see that name anywhere in Kitaso.”


    Robin raised an eyebrow and replied with defiance, “You think I’ll change the name just because you want me to? The Jones Group belongs to me now. The name stays.”


    “That’s fine,” Christina said simply, not pushing the matter any further.


    Robin blinked, surprised. That was it? She wasn’t going to try and convince him? Just a bit more persistence from her, and he would have caved. But she just let it go—so easily. It was maddening.


    Still sulking, Robin muttered, “Then let’s have another match while you’re here.”


    “I’ve got to get back to Dorfield,” Christina replied. “You can train some more and challenge me next time.”


    Robin scowled. “So you won’t even give me the chance now? Are you looking down on me?”


    “That’s not it. I just don’t have the time,” she said calmly. She had never nned to stay long in Kitaso anyway.


    “Forget it, then! I’m busy too,” he huffed. “I’ll challenge you when I feel like it.”


    Christinaughed and reached out to ruffle his hair. “Kiddo, more training won’t kill you.”


    “Who are you calling kiddo? Hands off!” Robin snapped, swatting her hand away, visibly annoyed. “Don’t mess up my hairstyle!”


    But despite the scowl on his face, his heart was soaring. She really wasn’t that unbearable. A tiny smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, his excitement bubbling just beneath the surface. All the irritation he’d felt earlier hadpletely melted away, reced with an odd giddiness. He even felt like whistling.


    Christina chuckled. Robin’s bratty little outbursts always made her want to tease him more. “Well, I’m off,” she said. With that, she turned and walked toward her car, giving him a casual wave over her shoulder.


    Robin watched her go, and for some reason, a pang of sadness hit him. Just as Christina was about to open the car door, his voice rang out. “I’ll rename it.”


    Christina paused and looked back at him with a soft smile. “Thanks.” She knew exactly what he meant. He had finally agreed to her request, which meant the Jones Group would bepletely wiped out from Kitaso.


    Every story starts at g ? ln σ ν?? ??s,


    Without another word, she got in the car, started the engine, and drove off.


    Robin stood frozen, watching her disappear down the road. A strange emptiness crept over him. It felt like there was always this invisible wall between him and Christina—no matter how much effort he made, he could never quite reach her.


    And that left him with a deep frustration. They would meet again, sure—but every time, something felt missing.


    He couldn’t exin it or even put a name to it. But one thing was clear—his heart was unsettled. He was yearning for something he didn’t understand.


    Back in Dorfield, those inside the Dawson Mansion were far from calm.


    “Mom, are you even listening to us?” Trevor asked, frowning, clearly irritated.


    Bethel didn’t even look up. She calmly took a sip of water, her eyes cool and detached. “If you want Christina to help thepany through this crisis, go ask her yourselves. What’s the point of pestering me?”
