"What do you mean by that?"

"As the eldest daughter of the Robinson family, you only know how to cling to this inheritance. If you don’t know how to manage it, how can you maintain the Robinson family’s long-standing glory?"

"Huh?" Why couldn’t she understand his words?

"If we can turn all the losing wineries into profit, the Robinson family won’t face ruin. So, tonight at the charity dinner, I’ll negotiate a business deal for the Robinson family, find someone to invest in Robinson’s wineries, and secure sales channels."

With that said, Alice Robinson finally started to understand...

"You mean, going to the charity dinner tonight is actually to negotiate a business deal for the Robinson family?"

"What else did you think?" Chester Robinson turned his face to look at her, his expression gentle.

She stared at him blankly, only reacting after a while, "So, you were lying to me about planning to sell the wineries?"

"You must always learn to look at people directly."

"You..."

She was so frightened, yet he only did it to teach her a lesson for not looking at him directly.

Really, does he look at her directly often?

"Alright, Keith Antony will pick you up at eight thirty..." He reverted to his indifferent tone.

Alice Robinson asked, "Do I really have to go?"

"Unless you think the Robinson family doesn’t need to negotiate this deal."

Alice Robinson was suddenly embarrassed. "Then... who knows if you’re plotting something?"

"Then you just won’t go and try it."

"I..."

"Get out of the car. If you want to attend the dinner, be prepared, don’t embarrass me."

Alice Robinson bit her lip, glared at him, and then got out of the car.

Keith Antony quietly approached her as she got off and whispered, "The boss truly intends to help the Robinson family, you can rest assured!"

Alice Robinson paused in surprise.

The car drove away under Alice Robinson’s dazed gaze.

She was supposed to go home and celebrate her first paycheck in life with Aunt PA and Rachel, but after seeing Chester Robinson, she was no longer in the mood.

"Miss..."

Aunt PA saw Alice Robinson and came up with Rachel in her arms.

"Mommy..." Rachel opened her arms and leaned towards Alice Robinson.

Alice Robinson reached out and held Rachel in her arms, kissing her lovingly.

Aunt PA asked, "Miss, where are we taking Rachel to play this afternoon?"

Alice Robinson said, "Aunt PA, we might have to stay home this afternoon."

"Huh?"

Alice Robinson said, "He’s coming."

Rachel’s innocent little head didn’t know who "he" referred to, only knowing her afternoon plans were disrupted by this person. Rachel couldn’t help but ask, "Mommy, who is he?"

"He... he’s a friend of mommy’s, he’s coming to see mommy today."

"Oh, could he come to see mommy tomorrow?" Rachel blinked her long, curly lashes and asked Alice Robinson naively.

Alice Robinson replied to the child in a childish tone, "But mommy has already agreed to meet him."

Rachel lowered her head in disappointment, pouting, "But Rachel wants to play on the carousel..."

Alice Robinson kissed her daughter’s disappointed face, "Mommy will take a day off to accompany you tomorrow, how about that?"

Upon hearing she could still play tomorrow, Rachel’s eyes instantly lit up, "Okay, thank you, mommy."

"Good girl."

"Mommy, I want to play with Barbie dolls..."

"Okay, go ahead!" Alice Robinson put Rachel down and watched her happily run to her room to get her Barbie dolls.

Once Rachel went into her room, Aunt PA said, "Miss, why has Mr. Robinson come here?"

Alice Robinson immediately recounted to Aunt PA what Chester Robinson had told her.

Aunt PA was overjoyed, "So, Mr. Robinson intends to help the Robinson family?"

Alice Robinson shook her head, "I don’t know his motives either, but he’s right that Robinson’s wineries need to be managed anew."

"Is he planning to return all of Robinson’s properties to you?"

"The Robinson estate, I think he’s never been interested in it anyway."

Aunt PA nodded, "That’s true... Miss, you mentioned that Mr. Robinson is actually quite wealthy."

"Yes."

"Then go... maybe Mr. Robinson isn’t as cold as we imagined."

At eight thirty in the evening, the white Maybach arrived promptly outside Alice Robinson’s apartment building.

Having lived in high society all her life, Alice Robinson was already well-versed in attending such events.

However, instead of wearing the latest gown from a luxury brand as she usually did, she chose a previously worn gown from the clothes she brought from the villa.

Her figure was great, and she wouldn’t look bad in any gown, but she used to demand the best and latest, while now she felt many things didn’t matter.

She knew this was a sign of her gradual maturity.

Holding up her skirt, Alice Robinson sat into the car.

Chester Robinson’s attire was always a uniform suit, and right now he was in a handsome black suit, enhancing his spirited demeanor.

"I asked you to dress elegantly, what kind of outfit is this?"

As soon as Alice Robinson got in, someone was already frowning in displeasure.

Alice Robinson looked down at herself, puzzled, "What... what kind of outfit?"

Isn’t she dressed normally?

A strapless white evening gown, elegant yet dignified, with twelve-inch high heels that showcased her long and beautiful legs perfectly.

Chester Robinson’s eyes were fixed on the back of Alice Robinson’s dress, which was a lace-back design that showed her back’s seductive curves...

Chester Robinson turned his gaze away, his face cold, "You’re a mother, and yet you don’t consider your attire."

"Where did I not consider it?" Alice Robinson retorted angrily, "You’re being unreasonable, you were the one who asked me to dress nicely."

"You..." For the first time, Chester Robinson was left speechless by Alice Robinson.

Alice Robinson turned her head to the side, too lazy to bother with him any further.
