Chapter 22 Like a Queen
Aray of sunlight shone through the French window of Purpeak Tower’s flyover passage. The sunlight slanted on Cecilia’s charming and cold face.
She was surrounded by a team of female bodyguards. They all had a perfect body. Cecilia’s dignified and elegant air made her look like a queen.
She looked out the window and saw Robin at Purpeak Plaza. He was on the way. There was a smirk on her lips.
It came to Cecilia that her master had warned her. There was no turning back once Cecilia stepped into this mortal world. Dangers lurked around every corner.
If Cecilia wanted to find the royal road to success, she must work hard.
There was no turning back!
To survive this trek, Cecilia had to learn to be more ruthless and unscrupulous.
Her pretty face wouldn't help.
Cecilia aspired to stand alone, rise to fame, and make a mark.
But this would be harder for a woman than any man who was already powerful 0.00%

In this world, kindness and indulgence were for the weak.
People would fear and respect Cecilia only when she was at the top of the pyramid. Then she could rule the world the way she wanted.
And then Cecilia could hold her fate in her hands.
Bearing that in mind, Cecilia killed her way out.
She was bloodthirsty.
The more intimidating her enemy was, the more she enjoyed the fight.
The handsome Robin came all the way here.
Cecilia was impressed by him.
It was because he was strong and exceptional.
And he was proud and defiant.
He wouldn’t give a damn even if he was alone against the whole world.”
Cecilia looked at men with a critical eye. Only talents like Robin could get her attention. She gazed at Robin’s rugged face under the sun.
An untamed soul was hiding beneath the defiant look in his deep eyes.
Cecilia thought, “Robin is like some kind of mellow wine.
He must be an interesting man.
And he must have many good stories!

Robin followed Livia to the foyer of Purpeak Hotel.
He sneezed.
At this moment...
Robin sensed that from a 15—-degree angle above, a pair of seductive and sharp eyes were studying him. That made him uncomfortable and feel like he was walking in the wild, being watched by a monster. Robin glanced in that direction.
The strong sunlight, reflected by the glass, helped to disguise all the furtive movements. Livia kept a close eye on him.
She was seizing him up and wondering why Cecilia took a shine to him.
In Livia’s eyes, Robin was just a handsome man, nothing special.
If she looked at his riding and shooting skills, he was still average.
What distinguished Robin from other men was his arrogance.
Livia didn’t understand.

Cecilia was a lofty and perfect lady.
Cecilia was totally out of Robin’s league!
Back then, Livia chose to serve Cecilia in this mortal world.
She had been there for Cecilia all the time when Cecilia fought and defeated one tough enemy after another to get where she was today.
No man had ever had such a privilege to be liked by Cecilia.
However, Cecilia fell in love with Robin at first sight.
There must be something special about Robin.
Livia stared at him, trying to figure it out.
Yet again, she failed to see anything special.
It had been years.
Robin was the first man who had received such special treatment.
This had become countless men’s dreams even since Cecilia entered this world. They all dreamt of sitting and drinking tea with Cecilia.
These men were loaded and came from powerful families.
But Cecilia refused them.
Why was Robin so lucky?
Cecilia made him an exception.
Livia was curious, looking down and moving ahead.

Robin suddenly stopped, and Livia collided with him.
“You... Why did you stop?” Livia asked angrily, fixing her hair.
“| feel you are staring at me from behind. It makes me uncomfortable!”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Livia blushed and tried to hide the guilty look on her face.
“Don't flatter yourself. Why would | stare at you? | would rather stare at a dog!” With that, Livia nervously shifted her gaze at a maid next to her.
The maid whispered, “Ms. Colon, don’t look at me like that. |... I’m not a dog...” “Shut up!” Livia pursed her lips and shot her a cold glance.
Robin shook his head. “Alright, you lead the way. | don’t like people watching me like a wolf watching its prey.” Livia rolled her eyes and walked into the elevator first.
She cursed in her heart, “Damn you. I’m not a wolf.
| will make you pay a price when | get the chance.”
Livia put on a stern face and was silent. She didn’t look back at Robin again.
Livia did an about-face on Robin. She used to be very nice to Robin when they were at the Riding and Shooting Recreation Center.
Robin shook his head.
He felt that he couldn't stand this hypocritical woman.
Robin thought Livia was interested in him. Now she was pretending to

be cold.
Livia stole a glance at him.
She met Robin’s eyes, blushed, and turned her head away from his aggressive eyes. Livia thought, “Damn Robin. You were looking at me secretly. What are you up to? Men are all the same.
Look at yourself! You're a lecher like them.
Is Ms. Decker mad or something? Why did she insist on inviting you?”
Soon they arrived on the top floor.
Two female bodyguards stopped them right after they were out of the elevator. “Wait! You're not allowed to take weapons of any kind. We'll keep it for you.” Robin paused and was displeased.
“Ms. Decker invited me. This is not the way to treat a guest.”
Livia said coldly, “This is one of the rules here. Guests are not allowed to take weapons inside her private meeting room, no matter how distinguished they are.
“This has been the way for a long time.” Robin shrugged and questioned indifferently, “Seriously? “I'll do it my own way. | won't cave into others’ rules.”

“Your way? Forget it. It’s Ms. Decker’s place. You must do it her way.”
Livia was getting impatient.
She added, “Ms. Decker sent me to fetch you, but that didn’t mean anything. Know your place. “There are countless people in the city or even in the country dying to come here, you know. “She condescended to invite you, which makes you the luckiest man on this planet. Hand over your weapon and shut up!” “Fine, I’m leaving!” With that, Robin turned around and walked to the elevator.
Livia and the bodyguards were stunned.
Robin didn’t hesitate at all.
He reached the elevator and pushed the button.
His behavior seemed to suggest that he didn’t want to waste one second here.
Livia was confused.
She cursed in her heart, “Scumbag!
Can't you act like a gentleman?
Ms. Decker invited you. Can you just be humble?”
But soon Livia changed her mind.
If Robin left, Cecilia would blame her.
Livia didn’t understand. Robin wouldn't get a second chance if he

walked away.
People in Hallcester competed to get invited by Cecilia.
Such an opportunity was worthy of a fortune and years of waiting. Even tough requirements wouldn't discourage them. But Robin just walked away!
Livia thought, “F***! What’s wrong with this Robin?
How could he let the chance slip through his fingers?”
After traveling with Cecilia for so many years, Livia had met a lot of people.
But none of them was like Robin.
Robin was too arrogant!
Livia cursed in her heart, “You piece of shit! Who do you think you
are?
You are just like one of Karina’s bodyguards!
How dare you defy Ms. Decker?
This is ridiculous!”
As Livia watched Robin leave, she was ready to explode with anger!
At this time, the maid whispered to Livia, “Livia, go chase him, otherwise, Ms. Decker will blame you for that.” The reminder made Livia feel worse. She snapped, “You don’t get to tell me what to do! “| know what to do.
