Although Lucy was a little snobbish, she was a young girl who just graduated from college. She was no match for Daphne.

Lucy had just shouted downstairs that she would teach Daphne a lesson, but now she didn't know how to refuse Daphne's toast. Finally, she could only raise her glass helplessly.

Daphne drank up the wine and said, " You may not know, Lucy, that I, Samuel, and Robert have known each other for years and are very good friends. Sometimes we just treat others as families, so I hope you don't mind that. The reason why I stopped Samuel from calling you is that we wouldn't be here long. I swear I'm telling the truth." Daphne took the blame directly, which really helped Samuel a lot. Samuel felt guilty after hearing her words.

While Daphne was speaking, she grabbed Robert's arms with a generous look.

However, Robert avoided Daphne's arms.

Daphne was slightly stunned so she whispered to Robert at once, " Come on, Robert, things will get worse if you don't help me." Robert ignored Daphne and stood up, saying to Samuel, " It's late now, Samuel. Just go home with Lucy. It's getting cold outside and I'm worried that Lucy will get cold with her thin clothes." Lucy had a lot of questions to ask Samuel. However, hearing Robert's words, she stood up first.

Samuel glanced at Daphne reluctantly, who was lost in her thoughts with her head down.

" Samuel, Lucy, I still have some work to do, soI'm leaving now. The vacation just began and we still have plenty of time to hang out together. You'd better go home too, Daphne. It's late." After saying that, Robert bypassed Daphne and strode towards the stairs.

After walking out of the bar, Robert felt the cold wind at night. He tightened his collar and lit another cigarette.

He seldom smoked, but he smoked twice today. Now he was annoyed by their affairs so he couldn't help smoking again.

Robert looked up at the night sky and frowned. He didn't understand what Daphne wanted.

He only knew that he couldn't take it too far. After all, Samuel was his buddy.

Now since Samuel and Daphne started their business together, Robert had to think for him. He couldn't put Samuel in a dilemma. Otherwise, he would have already warned Daphne.

And the reason why Robert refused Daphne's request for help was that he loved Marilyn so he had to keep a distance from other women.

Robert was annoyed by Samuel's affairs. It was not easy for Samuel to solve this rationally, and Robert didn't want to get involved in this at all. But he couldn't turn his back on his buddy.

Robert and the other three roommates in college were very close. They helped each othera lot during the four years and had become families.

Besides, it was difficult to have some best friends in today's society. So such friendships must be cherished.

Robert threw the cigarette to the ground, stepped on it hard, tightened his collar again, and walked aside.

The Khandud Mall became a benchmark for Yrinas as well as a must- go for Internet celebrities.

It had become a paradise for young people. There were more than twenty bars and nightclubs here, and delicious food was everywhere. However, all the lights were on except for those in the mall.

After the fire, the Khandud Mall was shut down for a long time as if it had come to an end, which seemed to suggest something.

Robert looked at the Khandud Mall and sighed. Fortunately, it could resume business tomorrow. During this period of internal rectification, it was losing money every day.

However, just as Robert was about to take a taxi, he suddenly found that there were faint lights behind the Khandud Mall.
