199: Chapter 199 – I trusted you.

Chapter 199 – I trusted you.

After asking the question, Devin wondered how his father managed to ask Robin for money. 

It would be unlike him. 

However, Robin had already prepared an answer for him.

"Your family has all the resources they need. My help is not needed and you can ask your father where he got the money from."

Devin nodded his head, making a mental note to ask his father when he reaches the mansion to pick up Matilda but there was one last thing on his mind,

"How did you get the video when I got nothing after accessing the footage? There was no record whatsoever, for which reason, I would not have believed that Martin did it."

Robin could not tell him about the secret cameras since they were illegal. He responded curtly, 

"I have my ways of watching her back."

Devin could not help but be grateful to Robin once for his help. 

If not, his eyes would have still been blinded to the evil in the heart of his best friend. 

"Thank you. I have to go."

Robin did not prevent him from leaving, glad that he behaved like a human for the first time and they parted on a peaceful note.

He instantly dialed Cobby's number and the latter answered it on the first ring.

"Robin, everything is successful but are you sure about the video?"

Kobby was still worried about the proof he promised the press for which reason he asked. 

Robin smiled since Daniel already worked on it and said,

"I will send it to you now and you can watch it and call me back."

Cobby was so eager that he quickly responded, 

"Okay."

Robin sent the video as soon as he ended the call and since it was a short one, Cobby called back in less than five minutes, sounding depressed.

"My poor girl. I'm happy that whatever he gave her did not have a negative effect on the pregnancy."

Cobby would not know what to do if that had happened. 

Robin had even not thought about that aspect, regretting not punching Martin in the face some more when he went there.

"She's even carrying twins," Robin revealed in a bitter tone. 

Anyway, he was sure to send the video viral tomorrow. Whatever it took to recover those shares, he was sure to do it.

"Are you sure?" Cobby asked, seeming surprised.

"Yes, Dad. I feel so guilty for hurting her so much but her birthday is in a few days and I will see if I can correct my errors for just a little bit," Robin said sadly.

Cobby felt pity for him, knowing that he had indeed changed but Sabrina was the one who suffered everything. 

Her father was not there to see the depth at which she suffered, for which reason Cobby felt like he did not have the right to convince Sabrina to return to him.

That was solely up to her. The only thing he could do was to encourage Robin to not give up.

"It's better to try and fail than not to try at all."

Robin was grateful for Cobby's fatherly role in his life and wished that his father was still alive. 

This would have been the best time to make him proud.

"Thank you so what do you propose that we do to Martin?" Robin asked. 

This did not involve him alone but Sabrina, Cobby, Devin, and even Lizzy since the company belonged to all of them.

Cobby went into deep thought. He was not afraid of Martin the way he was of Mara since she was the one who wanted Sabrina dead.

Her existence makes Cobby feel insecure. 

Robin thought about the maids they tried to bribe to resign. 

They won't say how much they were paid but rejected every offer. 

"I would prefer that we get Mara before doing anything to him. Who knows what that evil girl can do from wherever she is hiding?"

He and Daniel were still working on it, together with tracking her hacker. 

Robin was sure to get something very soon since he was not going to give up until Mara was brought to justice.

"You have a point. Now you have proof and once you give us the go-ahead, we shall release it. Half of the money has also been transferred and the rest would be in the trust fund before you meet the press," Robin vividly explained his plans.

Cobby was moved by his thoughtfulness but then again, Robin has always been smart. 

His only mistake was Zayla and women, from which he had also repented.

"I can't say how grateful I am for your help but since I have the video, Devin would have enough reason to believe that his best friend is a fraud and might even be aware of Mara's existence."

Mentioning Devin, Robin thought to let Cobby in on what had just transpired between them.

"He left my office a few minutes ago so he saw the video."

"He left your office? What was he doing there?" Cobby was both shocked and worried that Devin must have gone to cause trouble and Robin confirmed it for him.

"He came to teach me a lesson for not protecting Sabrina well enough and we got into a fight but everything has been resolved between us."

Cobby was confused and asked from his side of the line,

"What do you mean by resolved?"

Robin explained thoughtfully, "I mean to the point where he wants to help me win back my wife."

Cobby was surprised by his use of wife and not ex but did not point it out. 

"Then that is good news. It means that he is beginning to trust you."

Robin smiled. "I am happy to win all your trust and I won't stop until Sabrina believes me too," he vowed solemnly.

"I hope she does and take good care of yourself," Cobby said, ready to end the call when Robin responded,

"I will and you too. Goodbye."

***

When Devin left, he did not return to his office or penthouse, rather going to Martin's office. 

All the anger and pain were released when he bumped into Martin as soon as he opened his door.0

From his reddened gaze, Martin knew there was trouble but he did not expect Devin to get physical when he was taken unawares by a kick to his stomach from Devin as he raged,

"You asshole, I trusted you."
