Capture Your Heart

Chapter 270 The One Behind the Scene Starts to Get Exposed 3

As Karin, who is already like a walking corpse, suddenly hears the shout, she is revived. She stumbles downstairs and sees Robert standing in the middle of the living room. Then she pounces on him and asks, "Where is Troy?"

Robert's face is sullen and painful. It seems that after just one night, he has aged a lot. His navy blue beard is faintly visible. As he clenches his hands into fists, anger shows up in his eyes.

Karin shouts, "I ask you where Troy is!"

"Young Master Troy is missing..."

“Did Troy disappear?” Her legs go limp. if Yuma hadn’t held her discerningly, she would have fallen to the ground.

She asks, trembling, "Do you say he's missing?"

"Yes, we..."

She roars hysterically, "You were with him. You came back. How could he have disappeared?"

"Madam, calm down. Hear Mr. Robert out first."

"How can I calm down? He said Troy is missing. Yuma, did you hear that? He said Troy is missing. Did you hear that..."

Karin is in tears. Yuma hugs her heartbreakingly, "Yes, I did. But it's okay. The young master will be lucky. And he will be fine."

"Tell me the details." She cries.

Robert's voice is hoarse as he begins to tell Karin what happened, "The cruise ship I was on with Young Master Troy broke down on the way and didn’t reach the shore in time. There were six killers, no, it should be seven. I don't know if they were lurking on the ship or boarded the yacht midway. One of them disguised himself as a waiter to confirm my room with Young Master Troy. Young Master Troy found that he had a murder weapon. So he shot him and killed him, alerting the accomplice outside. I, who was suffering from knife wounds, couldn’t move. Fearing that he would implicate me, Young Master Troy went out of the room alone. At first, I could hear some gunfire and the sounds of fighting. Later, because of excessive blood loss from the wound fainted, I didn't know anything..."

Karin's body trembles greatly. And she asks dumbly, "You don’t know anything. How do you know that Troy is missing?"

"Young Master Troy called for rescue. But they came late. Before they came, Young Master Troy had been in trouble. According to an eyewitness on board afterward, Young Master Troy jumped into the sea. And the killers shot towards the sea. But I don’t know whether he was wounded. I have arranged for people to dive into the bottom of the sea to look for him. And from this morning until now, they haven’t found anybody. So Young Master Troy surely is still alive. It is just that I do not know where he is..."

Hearing that Troy jumped into the sea at that moment, Karin feels that her brain instantly goes blank. When she hears that the killers were shooting at the sea, her eyes go black. And then she completely loses consciousness.

She has a dream, a long dream. In the dream, she and Troy live in an isolated place full of purple dandelions and two houses with green brick and green tile in them. The house is surrounded by a wooden fence. She is sitting in the courtyard and writing some calligraphy as she is surrounded by a group of children. Troy is lying in the sun leisurely, reading a book. Instead of reading financial magazines, he reads some folk stories. This scene has been hovering in her mind for a long time. So she has had such a dream for such a long time that she knows it is a dream and yet doesn’t want to

wake up. Because waking up means that she has to face the cold world. Only the scene in her dream is the warmth of her life pursuit...

"Madam, Madam… Wake up. Wake up..."

Yuma calls her anxiously after another. Finally, she wakes up reluctantly and opens her eyes. For a moment, she only feels that the sunlight outside is dazzling. Robert guiltily confesses to her, "I'm sorry, it's me who failed to protect Young Master Troy, I'm sorry..."

"Is he just missing?" Karin staggers and jumps off the bed, grabbing Robert's collar, "Or is he dead? Tell me honestly?!"

"Young Master Troy won't die. I can assure you. He definitely won't die!"

"You promised me. With what? With your life?"

Karin angrily pushes him and fails to control her emotion momentarily. Robert bows and covers the waist with his hands with fine beads of sweat overflowing on his head. The expression on his face indicates that he seems to be in pain. Yuma, who is stunned, immediately comes to her senses, "Madam, Mr. Robert is still injured."

Karin glances at the place Robert is covering with his hands where something crimson seems to be seeping out. And it looks exactly like the one seeping out of her heart.

"You both get out. I want to be alone."

She calms herself. down. Although she is seemingly calm, she doesn't want others to see her being uncool.

Yuma and Robert step out of the room and close the door for her. Robert doesn’t leave immediately. He stands outside the door and hears Karin's heart-breaking cries. And the veins on his forehead gradually

protrude. Thinking of the last words Troy had said to him, Robert, who has been living for thirty years, shed tears in distress for the first time.

For three whole days, Karin doesn’t eat or drink, shutting herself in the house. On the fourth day, Milan comes.

When Yuma sees her, her attitude is naturally cold. And Milan doesn’t say anything and goes straight upstairs.

Knocking on the door, Milan hears no response inside. So she sighs softly, "Karin, open the door. I have something to say to you."

There isn’t any answer inside the house. She adds, "Don't you want to know if my Troy is dead or alive?"

Sure enough, her words work. Karin opens the door and appears haggardly in front of her, asking in a dumb voice, "Where is he? He's not dead, right?"

"Talk inside."

Milan enters the bedroom and sits down on the sofa. And for the first time, she speaks to Karin calmly and without any malice, "Originally, I shouldn’t have appeared in front of you. I know you don’t want to see me. And Troy doesn’t bother with me because of you in these years. If I say I have known that I was wrong, you surely will think I am pretentious. So I don’t intend to apologize or expect to be forgiven by you. I came here today purely for Troy's sake."

She pauses for a moment and takes a deep breath, "I only learned that something had happened to Troy last night. Although I don't usually interact with him, I have never stopped caring about him. I know

everything about him. Although sometimes I can't do anything about it, I will always be worried about him."

Karin moves her dry lips, "So, you don't know whether he is alive or dead either, right?"

"Yes, I don't know. But one thing I'm sure of is that Troy is still alive. For people in the Charlie family, they won't fall that easily!"

At this moment, Milan seems to be as strong and tough as she was back then.

"I know you are sad. I am also sad. You are not the only one who is sad. Even so, it is not the right time to be sad. You have to cheer up. You are Troy's wife. Since he isn’t here, the burden of the Charlie family has to be carried by you. From the day you married him, your life no longer belongs to you. So cheer up. Cheer up for the sake of your husband. Be convinced that he won’t be dead. If you even think he's dead, who else will believe he's alive?"

Karin raises her eyes in shock and looks at the woman in front of her. And for a moment she is in a trance.

The world is always changing as fast as people do.

Bad people can become good people in a second. And good people can become bad people in a second as well.

"Good." This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

She reluctantly nods her head. If she isn’t strong, others surely will think that she is weak. For the sake of what Milan said just now, she has to force herself to be strong.

After Milan leaves, she goes downstairs and has a bowl of rice expressionlessly. If she wants to be strong, first of all, she has to live. To live, she can’t be starved. She won’t forget that she is a member of

the Charlie family and that her life belongs to the Charlie family as well.

As long as the Charlie family hasn’t fallen, she can’t fall.

The news of Troy's disappearance soon spreads through Zurich, which naturally reaches the ears of those shareholders of Charlie Group. For a moment, they are in a state of panic. Originally, they expected Troy to bring them the good news. However, they don’t expect that Troy will end up in a miserable situation instead.

The day after the news comes out, Emmanuel comes to Ziteng Garden. Upon seeing his niece-in-law, he has an anxious look on his face and says, "I went to France last week. And I received a call from Gigi last night, saying that Troy was missing. So I rushed back overnight. What is going on?"
