Chapter 225: [Bonus Chapter]Chapter 225 – Dad, he wants you there as well

Daniel was fascinated by the words he was hearing from Robin on the phone, never imagining that Robin was capable of changing so much.

Seemed to him that everything happens for a good reason and Sabrina’s leaving was necessary for Robin’s change.

He advised seriously,

"I hope you keep those changes if she agrees to marry you again."

Robin smiled thoughtfully, imagining if he got a second chance to marry Sabrina again.

He was sure to make everybody who ever mocked her for marrying a jerk like him before, envy her for her entire years of existence.

"Well, I intend to make it my lifestyle. I realized that there is always time for everything and it only depends on one’s priorities."

"I agree but how are things between you and Sabrina?" Daniel asked, hoping that indeed Sabrina would give Robin a chance after Zayla was exposed.

"Much improved. She was only upset about Zayla’s presence at her party but we have it all sorted out now," Robin said with a smile.

Daniel was very happy and asked again,

"That is good news, have you had any physical contact?"

Robin smiled, remembering that hug that made him feel as if his whole life depended on it and he didn’t want to let go. He spoke dreamily,

"Only a hug but that’s all I deserve for now since my situation is different from yours."

In Robin’s case, he messed up but in Daniel’s case, he was being too careful.

"Yeah, you are right. I will join you, so I get to see Lizzy. I think I know what to do."

Robin smiled, knowing that Daniel would indeed know what to do.

"Okay but please get here before I close. We can use the same car."

"Sure thing," Daniel responded before the call ended.

At Robin’s penthouse, Zayla has been privy to all the news ongoing, very distraught that after everything including Martin drugging Sabrina, the latter still gets the last laugh.

Her heart ached every time she read the comments of the netizens, seeing how they all pleaded for justice for Sabrina.

Sabrina had her father, brother, sister, and best friend but could still not leave the only person Zayla wanted aside from her father.

All Zayla wanted was Robin but Sabrina seemed to use some kind of charm on him that he even gave her more attention than he ever gave Zayla.

Zayla was depressed and did not want to attend another party showcasing and honoring Sabrina in her presence but there was also a five million dollar at stake.

It was her only reason for agreeing to attend the party and she was certain that her father would never want to attend.

Whereas Robin had said that he was going to be there in the evening, so she figured it was now or never.

Feeling nervous and rehearsing in her mind, as to how to tell her father about the party, she mastered courage and put a call through to him.

"Dad, how are you today?" Zayla spoke first, giggling awkwardly on the line.

Her father felt that perhaps the money was ready for which reason she was calling and thought to make arrangements.

"Fine Zayla. Is there good news yet? Is the money ready?" He asked, Zayla got serious and said,

"He said it’s ready but he wants me to escort him to Sabrina’s birthday party before he gives it to me," she revealed with a slight hesitation, her father frowned a little, wondering why she hesitated in telling him this.

"That is not a problem. You should go," he encouraged her since it was the only means to get the money for them to leave as soon as possible.

Whereas when Zayla responded, Kennedy felt like strangling her.

"Dad, he wants you there as well."

"Me? Why?" Her father was suddenly apprehensive, not able to imagine the reason why Robin would want him at a place like that. Zayla explained,

"He said that Sabrina doesn’t have many friends so he is trying to get as many people as possible there to make her happy," she said bitterly.

Kennedy was so furious, his anger burned. He knew there would be a lot of prominent people at any party Robin graced, just for them to have business acquaintances and opportunities.

Most of those people knew him and would mock him if he appeared in public again.

Due to his investors, he hasn’t stepped out much himself, and now, to appear at such an event? Never.

Kennedy did not want to face such shame.

"But that should not include me," he said defensively, Zayla felt helpless and explained to the best of her knowledge.

"He also said that if you don’t come, he won’t give us the money," Zayla said finally, Kennedy began to think twice.

Maybe, he should just face this embarrassment and disappear for the rest of his life or even hide in any of the washrooms as soon as he gets there.

He would only let Robin see that he was there before he found a place to hide from all-knowing eyes.

However, he still had to be sure if everything would be worth it.

"And if I come, when would he give money?" He asked, this time in a subtle tone.

"As soon as the party is over but, in my case, he would not even allow me to go and visit Mom if I don’t attend the party since I’m fake carrying his child," Zayla said bitterly.

Who knew that faking pregnancy would make her a prisoner in a penthouse? But Kennedy was confused and asked,

"Visiting mom? What are you talking about?" He asked and Zayla patiently explained again,

"That is the excuse I had to give him. You know how he doesn’t allow me to go out."

Kennedy took a deep breath and remembered that his assets had all been auctioned because of his debts, he had nothing, thereby requesting,

"Okay. Fine, I will go but I don’t have a car and I don’t want to take a commercial vehicle to such an event."
