?Chapter 899:


    “They’re dressed to match. Look at them! There’s no mistaking it now. If the word gets back to Kitaso, his family will lose it. Kurt’s heart can’t take news like this—he’ll have a fit.”


    Curiosity and skepticism buzzed among the guests, each one convinced Robin was dragging the Miller family’s name through the mud, and his grandfather Kurt would explode with rage.


    Yet, none of them realized how far off the mark they truly were. Should Christina and Robin ever marry, Kurt would probably throw the biggest party Kitaso had ever seen—nine nights of fireworks and celebration for a match made in his wildest dreams.


    A chill settled in the room as Robin’s gaze swept across the gathering. In a heartbeat, he walked over to stand squarely at Christina’s side. “She’s with me. Anyone got a problem?”


    To Robin, a bold statement—iming Christina as hispanion—was the quickest way to silence the crowd, shutting down every rumor before it could spread further. Trying to exin would have only fueled the gossip mill. No guest dared raise an objection. Though bias against Christina lingered, nobody was willing to speak up in Robin’s presence.


    Robin might have just been the future head of Kitaso’s wealthiest family, not the scion of Lorbridge nobility, but Robin’s grandfather’s close friendship with thete Herbert, Dn’s grandfather, gave Robin’s words weight that no one could challenge.


    Aside from the Miller family, the Graham family and the Hubbard family also had ties to the Scott family. To cross any of them was to risk the wrath of the entire Scott family.


    Robin’s open support for Christina left no one daring to pick a fight. Only a fool would invite such trouble. Frustration simmered in the crowd, but they bit their tongues, waiting for Kurt’s inevitable reaction, or so they thought. Once the news reached Kurt, everyone expected Robin to face a harsh scolding.

    The idea that Robin would risk his family’s reputation for a divorced woman was almost unthinkable. Most were convinced Kurt’s anger would know no bounds.


    As tension filled the air, a few guests hastily slipped into the banquet hall, fearing they might offend Robin because of their hostility toward Christina and thus be barred from entry.


    Ynda and Katie fumed, their efforts to turn the crowd against Christina unraveling before their eyes, thanks to Robin’s bold intervention. Just a few sentences from Robin were enough to scatter most of the onlookers, breaking the crowd’s mounting dislike for Christina.


    “Mr. Miller…” Katie stepped forward as she spoke, but Robin cut her off coldly.


    “What? Looking to get thrown out?”


    Katie paled and quickly sought shelter behind Brendon.


    Brendon stepped forward, protective instincts ring. “What’s the meaning of threatening my sister?”<fnce60> Get full chapters from f?ndnovel</fnce60>


    Brendon fixed his eyes on Robin and then on Christina, only to snap his gaze right back to Robin, sharp and unrelenting. Something twisted in his gut the moment he saw their matching outfits. Whatever he felt right then, words wouldn’t have done it justice. Understanding dawned with a bitter edge—Christina’s coldness after their split now made sense. She had hooked up with Robin, who had a better family background.
