Chapter 535 That Would Be Too Easy on Her
Mary was taken aback; she hadn't considered this issue before.
If he didn't make a move and just lurked in the shadows, spying on them?
Robert smiled and said, "So this plan is flawed. The better your relationship with Matthew, the more protection you receive, making it less likely for him to act."
Mary pursed her lips slightly. So, had Matthew lied to her again?
Robert said, "Instead of trying to find the one this way, it's better to wait and see if he can't stand your affection or if he is targeting you specifically."
Shirley said, "I think Robert is right."
Mary said, "What if he is targeting me?"
Robert replied, "That's easy. I'll assign people to protect you, ensuring you won't get hurt at all."
Shirley gave Robert a thumbs up, "Robert is amazing!"
Robert's mouth twitched slightly, and he continued, "Since you've chosen not to cooperate with Matthew, be prepared to expose yourself to his view, so you need protection."
He pointed to himself, "And I have that capability."
Mary's long eyelashes trembled. Robert's gaze was too focused, making her evasive, and a faint sense of resistance arose in her heart.
She didn't want to involve others.
If someone had to die, let it be her alone.
A warm sensation spread over her hand as Shirley held it, "Mary, I know what you're thinking, but don't think that way. We're friends, we're family. Even if not for yourself, for me, you have to strive to live!"
Shirley was the closest person to her. From her expression, Shirley could tell what she was thinking.
Mary tugged at the corner of her mouth, "But..."
Shirley said firmly, "No, it's not final yet. You're safe now, and you will be safe in the future!"
Robert said, "Mary, you don't need to feel any psychological burden. If you feel guilty, you can pay my bodyguards; they wouldn't mind earning double."
Hearing this, the complex emotions in Mary's heart faded a bit.
Paying for services meant she wouldn't owe Robert too much.
"Robert, thank you!"
Mary looked at him gratefully.
Robert smiled, "No need to be so polite with me. This matter is easy to solve. Let's talk about another issue."
Mary's expression paused, and she said, "Laura wants to kill me. I teamed up with Sophia to set a trap for her, and she's already fallen into it. Her only way out now is to rely on Matthew for help. As long as she marries Matthew, she can maintain her status in the Sarah family, and her position will also be elevated."
Shirley frowned in disgust, "Laura is so vicious!"
Robert said, "So you plan to first make her lose support in the Sarah family, then appear with Matthew to shatter her illusions?"
Mary nodded bitterly, "Yes."
Robert sighed slightly, "By doing this, Laura hasn't suffered any harm."
Shirley also said, "I understand you want to take away everything she values and make her suffer, but that's too lenient on her."
