Chapter 6 He Has a Crush
The surprise only lasted a moment, and Damara wasn’t worried about being recognized.
The reason was that, apart from the annual holiday visit to Old Mr. Robinson, she rarely showed up in
front of the Robinson Family. Abner had never seen his wife’s appearance, and others wouldn’t be
interested in a small fly like her.
Thinking of Abner’s cold face, Damara smiled with a hint of regret, “Maybe I did something that upset
Mr. Robinson.”
Payne preferred good-looking individuals, regardless of their
profession or family background. In front of this beautiful woman, his tone unconsciously softened.
“No way! Your designs have a strong artistic sense. Although my cousin is in business, he didn’t start in
finance. He pursued a double major, and the other field happened to be related to art. He must
appreciate your designs too. It’s just that he’s been busy with divorce lately and isn’t in a good mood.”
Damara remained silent, but Roman beside them was astonished, “Abner is married?”
Payne nodded, “Yeah, he got married a long time ago. This time he returned and contacted a lawyer to
get a quick divorce.”
Payne rarely returned to Robinson’s Villa, especially after coming of age, and spent his time living a
lavish lifestyle. He only knew that Abner had been forced into the marriage arranged by their
grandfather, and he had never seen Abner’s wife.

Roman was hearing about this for the first time and couldn’t help but become interested, “I thought
A&U Villa was for his marriage. So, he was already married before, huh? I guess he plans to live there
himself.”
Payne motioned for them to sit down, “Well, you can call it a marital home, I guess. My cousin doesn’t
like his wife. They were forced into marriage back then. He used to like someone else, and I believe
A&U Villa was designed for that woman.
After saying this, he considerately handed Damara a glass of juice, “I’ll show him the designs you’ve
made when he’s here. He should be interested.”
Damara accepted the drink and politely smiled at Payne, “Thank you. If this deal works out, I’ll treat you
to dinner.”
Payne liked her composed and unruffled attitude and couldn’t help but say a few more words, “If this
deal goes
through, you should treat me to dinner. You’re gonna get a big bonus, and since you’re doing this for
my cousin, you are gonna be famous too.”
Worked out, it
Damara nodded in agreement. Indeed, if this deal would elevate her fame and guarantee her entry into
the circle where Abner belonged. After that, her studio’s business would also thrive.
As the door of another private room on the other side of the corridor opened, a tall man exuding a
chilling aura entered the room.
Just as he stepped in, his phone rang again.
Seeing it was Payne, Abner frowned and didn’t answer.
The man beside him found her expression quite amusing, “What’s going on? What’s that long face?
Someone pi ssed you off?”
The private room was sp ac ious, and many people were present, but

there was also a clear social hierarchy in Washington’s circles.

Abner belonged to the elite class, and the people around him were all influential figures.
People sitting on the couch moved to a distant corner as soon as they saw Abner.
Albert Green handed him a glass of wine. With delicate features and a gentle demeanor, he appeared
instead at ease. “Is it because of the divorce? I heard she refuses to sign the papers.”
Abner’s decision to hire a lawyer for the divorce wasn’t much of a secret.
It was only time before the news reached the old Mr. Robinson.
Taking off his cufflinks and tossing them to a server, Abner casually sat on the couch, crossing his long
legs with an air of dominance. “She will sign sooner or later. She knows better than anyone why we got
married in the first place.”
His indifferent tone indicated he didn’t want to dwell on the topic any longer.

Despite spending three years in that line of work, he couldn’t understand why she seemed so
inexperienced.
Just then, the guys at the following table were discussing their girlfriends.
Men often spoke openly in private, and Abner had never paid much attention to such conversations.
But today, for some reason; he overheard a few sentences.

“So, was she pretending to be a virgin? What did you do after you found out?”
“Of course, we broke up. She’s had that hymen mended countless times. If my friend at the hospital
hadn’t recognized her, I might have even married her. And then it turned out the baby in her belly
wasn’t mine. She wanted me to play the role of a cheap dad? Dream on.”
For these pla yboys, who lacked neither money nor time, their casual topics usually revolved around
women.
“Women nowadays are quite cun ning. It depends on what type you like. They call it ‘precise hunting.’
Who knows, maybe her baby is from someone you know. Sometimes, the more innocent they appear,
the more likely they’ve had a wild past…..”
Abner’s grip on the glass tightened as he heard those words, and memories of Damara’s demure gaze
and yesterday’s moments flashed through his mind. An overwhelming sense of restlessness surged
within him.
Just then, Payne called him again, urging him to go to the downstairs private room for a face-to-face
chat.
