Chapter 379: Chapter 379 – Robin’s pain

"Am I also doing it as a favor?" Cobby’s voice rang out behind them. Sabrina turned around and hugged her father, tears in her eyes upon hearing his voice.

She hadn’t expected him to come, and he was with Matilda. After speaking with Sabrina earlier, he was about to leave the office to offer her emotional support when Devin called to say he was dropping Matilda off.

They met at the underground car park and drove in different directions; Devin to the Crystal Hotel and Cobby to Jewel Group.

From the relieved smile on Sabrina’s face, he knew he had made the right decision to come.

Cobby was well respected, so his presence changed the atmosphere. The reporters couldn’t believe that all these prominent people trusted Robin completely.

"Mr. James, do you also believe that Mr. Jewel is innocent?" another media representative couldn’t help asking.

Before Cobby could open his mouth, a female voice spoke up.

"I have worked with Mr. Jewel for years as his secretary, and even when he was womanizing, he never made advances at me. Mr. Jewel is principled, and I also believe that he is innocent," Aria said.

Before the representatives could ask another question, more of the CEOs, including managers, executives, HRs, and even Laura, added their voices in Robin’s defense.

The media representatives left defeated without looking back.

Sabrina turned around with tears in her eyes. "Thank you all very much. I know that you won’t regret it."

All these managers were not expecting any favors, as she had been thinking. They all saw the transformation in Robin and had witnessed it when Zayla confessed everything.

One of them said, "It’s the truth, ma’am. All Mr. Jewel has ever cared about is you," before Cobby hugged Sabrina again and said to her,

"I love the fact that you remained bold and defended what you believed."

At a secret location, Jacob was seething with anger, while his hacker was quietly amused. Jacob had managed to drug and take incriminating pictures of Robin, but Sabrina still didn’t believe him, rendering all his efforts pointless.

Jacob shouted, "How could they not believe me after seeing those pictures? His reputation should be ruined, not improved. Are they insane?"

His hacker remained silent until Jacob demanded, "Tell me, are they insane?"

He met the hacker’s gaze, forcing him to look away before responding, "Sir, the public has already seen Mr. Jewel’s transformation. This won’t bring him down. Why not confront him directly about whatever he took from you?"

Jacob scowled and stood up straight, his anger evident as he realized his mother’s words had come true once again.

"It’s too late for that. He can call for my arrest if he finds out I’m the one behind this," Jacob said.

He felt that the hacker was right and he should have had a talk with Robin first. But since he had already resorted to defaming Robin’s character, it would be very difficult to avoid arrest if Robin found out.

The hacker was persistent and encouraged him. "But if he indeed has something that belongs to you, then your actions can also be justified."

Jacob was almost moved by the hacker’s words but could not help feeling that his mother was right about certain things.

"He is heartless," Jacob mused. His hacker agreed but also added,

"He is also just. Do you know that he paid people to protect Gladys? After how she almost ruined his relationship, he still understood that it wasn’t her fault."

Jacob was beginning to feel like his hacker sounded so much like his mother. It was unacceptable to him, so he yelled,

"Shut up. You don’t know anything. Focus on your work."

The hacker pressed his lips together and did not say anymore. He already knew that his boss had a bad temper.

At the Crystal Hotel

The staff were on edge. They had no idea if the whole thing was real or just a setup, as the cameras had not captured anything.

They couldn’t find anything on their CCTVs and were afraid to go to the presidential suite.

They knew that the only person who had the authority and audacity to check into any of the rooms without being caught by a camera was the boss himself, since he had access to all the cameras and could manipulate them as he pleased.

Devin arrived and, since they knew him as Sabrina’s brother, they didn’t stop him when he went to the presidential suite.

The door was not locked and Robin lay in the bed alone. The woman was gone. "Robin, wake up."

Devin shook Robin and he woke up immediately, confusion clouding his mind, and he felt a little dizzy.

"Why am I here? What are you doing here? Where is Joe?" Robin asked groggily. Realizing that he was naked, his frown deepened, as he had no idea when he removed his clothes.

"Who is Joe?" Devin asked, interrupting his thoughts. If Robin was with someone, could that person be the one behind it?

Devin’s suspicions were instantly cleared. "My bodyguard," Robin revealed. Devin wanted to ask more but was interrupted by a knock from the closet.

Curiously, he went to check as Joe stepped out. Devin could not make head or tail of what had happened between the bodyguard and his master.

"What were you doing in there?" Devin asked. "Are you responsible for the scandal?"

Joe was equally confused since he couldn’t remember how he got into the closet and was even surprised by hearing about a scandal.

Before he could voice his innocence, Robin said, "That is Joe, my bodyguard."

Robin was already buttoning his shirt, not knowing what had happened but not feeling comfortable being naked with his fellow men.

Since there hadn’t been any intercourse, he didn’t suspect anything strange with his body.

"Robin, what are you doing here?" Daniel asked seriously. Robin shook his head and replied,

"I don’t know how I got here."

Devin pursed his lips thoughtfully, remembering what Sabrina had said and showed him the news on his phone.

Robin’s eyes were red as pain slashed through his heart. "I failed her again but I only drank water. I don’t remember what happened after I began to feel sleepy," he said in an almost teary voice, afraid that he hurt Sabrina again...
