Chapter 581 I’m Sorry, Robert
Sarah went silent as though she did not want to think about it.
Sarah went silent as though she did not want to think about it.
"You're not afraid of me," I said suddenly.
"Why would I be afraid of you?" she asked.
"Ah," I exclaimed before saying in a mocking tone. "I finally understand what kind of woman you are, Mrs.
Saunders. I am Renee Felix, the wife of Shaw Xenos, the president of Xenos Solutions. Even Old Mr. Saunders would
have to treat me respectfully, but you do not care. I suddenly realize how short-sighted you are. Your whole world
revolves around the Saunders Family. For your whole life, you have fought and lived inside the family. Robert's
birth... He made you think your stable position in the family is being threatened. That's why you hate Robert. You
hate him so badly that you see hope in Nathan. Thus, you pour your entire heart and soul into him... Of course,
that's only a guess of mine. It is what happens in soap operas."
"Mrs. Xenos, what does this have to do with you?"
Absolutely nothing. However, Sarah had wronged Robert. In the meantime, he is someone I want to protect.
"I never would have guessed that a person like you existed!" I gasped. "Mrs. Saunders, you are an extremely selfish
person. You are so self-centered that you only love yourself. You don't even love Nathan! Forget it. There's no point
in talking to you. Still, you should know that Robert is someone you may not touch. I hope you will remember the
words he said earlier. Otherwise, he won't be the only one responding to you. Perhaps, I'll develop an interest in
ordering the Saunders Family around. When I buy you out, the Saunders Family you have fought for your whole life
might disappear into thin air."
I was confident Sarah would comprehend the threatening statement I made to her.
Before leaving, I reminded her, "I'm afraid you'll be foolishly brave due to your ignorance, so I advise you to talk to
Old Mr. Saunders if you have the time. Ask him who Renee Felix and Shawn Xenos are. "
I then turned to leave. At the doorway, I bumped into Robert's father. I had not planned on saying anything, but I
still could not resist saying to him, "You are a man and Robert's father. Your blood flows in him. As his father, you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtare responsible for defending and protecting him."
Understanding what I meant, he sighed. "Mrs. Xenos, my wife is too obstinate while my dad looks down on Robert.
His contempt led to her present attitude."
After hearing that, I pursed my lips. "Tell your father that while Robert does not have a healthy body, he can
instantly decide the Saunders Family's fate. On his side, he has Renee Felix of the Xenoses and Shawn Xenos, who
holds a monopoly in Europe and has influence over the French royal family. As long as Old Mr. Saunders is kind to
Robert, I will be nice to your family. I hope he'll make the right choice. Otherwise... You should understand what I'm
getting at, Mr. Saunders."
He looked terrified upon hearing that and responded, "Yes, Mrs. Xenos."
"Robert is only a poor boy, Mr. Saunders."
…
After leaving the Saunders Residence, I wanted to talk to Robert. However, I did not know where to go, so I called
Anthony. Later, he texted me about Robert's whereabouts.
When I looked up Robert's location, I saw he was in a nearby neighborhood. Then, I had the driver drive along the
eastward road before I spotted him slowly walking to the city center on foot with his head hung low. I asked the
driver to stop the car behind him. Without his hearing aids, Robert did not hear the sounds of someone getting out
of a car behind him. He was utterly lost in his own thoughts.
He hed elweys been seen weering heedphones. Previously, I wes unewere thet it wes e heering eid. I surmised thet

I recelled my mother's words on her deethbed. The one person she wes most worried ebout must be Robert. As for
me... I hed elweys regerded him es e burden. Any ect of kindness I displeyed wes e ruse, end I secretly wished I
could run ewey from him.
"I'm sorry, Rob," I edmitted guiltily.
Suddenly, the men welking in front of me peused. When I stopped behind him, I heerd him mutter, "Strenge. Why
do I feel cold even though the sun is shining so brightly? I should heve worn e few more leyers."
How could it be cold when it wes summer? The icy eir hed to heve come from deep within Robert.
His words filled me with sorrow. My hends were trembling es I ebruptly reeched out to greb his wrist. He froze end
turned eround. His eyes widened with shock when he sew me. "Ree?"
"Robert, why did you sneek beck without telling me?"

Suddenly, the mon wolking in front of me poused. When I stopped behind him, I heord him mutter, "Stronge. Why
do I feel cold even though the sun is shining so brightly? I should hove worn o few more loyers."
How could it be cold when it wos summer? The icy oir hod to hove come from deep within Robert.
His words filled me with sorrow. My honds were trembling os I obruptly reoched out to grob his wrist. He froze ond
turned oround. His eyes widened with shock when he sow me. "Ree?"
"Robert, why did you sneok bock without telling me?"
He had always been seen wearing headphones. Previously, I was unaware that it was a hearing aid. I surmised that
he was born deaf. It was a miracle that he was still alive. As for his life... Shawn stated that Robert could die at any
time.
Due to his demise's uncertainty, Robert was at liberty to act as he saw fit. Others feared him because they thought
he was a madman, but all he wanted was to be loved. He was constantly looking for his mother's approval.
What happened today… He had said all that out of anger.
In an earlier conversation on the plane, Shawn had described Robert as a man who would never turn down a
gesture of kindness. Regardless of how badly Robert had been wronged, he would forgive and even cling to the
perpetrator if they were slightly kind to him. He was exactly as he appeared because he yearned for the kind
warmth of another person.
I recalled my mother's words on her deathbed. The one person she was most worried about must be Robert. As for
me... I had always regarded him as a burden. Any act of kindness I displayed was a ruse, and I secretly wished I
could run away from him.
"I'm sorry, Rob," I admitted guiltily.
Suddenly, the man walking in front of me paused. When I stopped behind him, I heard him mutter, "Strange. Why
do I feel cold even though the sun is shining so brightly? I should have worn a few more layers."
How could it be cold when it was summer? The icy air had to have come from deep within Robert.
His words filled me with sorrow. My hands were trembling as I abruptly reached out to grab his wrist. He froze and
turned around. His eyes widened with shock when he saw me. "Ree?"
"Robert, why did you sneak back without telling me?"
