Capture Your Heart

Chapter 264 Mia Commits Suicide 1

Troy ponders on her words for a moment as he caresses the back of her hand with his hand. Then he pats her hand twice and says, "I won’t easily trust others. Neither will I easily suspect others. With a little more understanding and tolerance, we can avoid the occurrence of misunderstandings so as not to leave ourselves with regrets."

Karin sighs heavily and understands in her heart that unless Troy sees it with his own eyes, it will be impossible for her to make Troy suspect his Uncle Emmanuel.

Just when she is troubled by the appearance of the bald man, another person who troubles her also appears, that is, Gigi, Emmanuel's daughter.

That day, the weather is particularly good where the sun is bright and the gentle wind is blowing. Karin wants to take advantage of the good weather to plant some gorse so that they can bloom when autumn comes. After all, a garden with dandelions only looks somewhat dull.

But she never expects that an unexpected guest will come to the garden at that moment.

"Karin..."

She looks up and sees the one in front of her. And although she is surprised, she greets her with a smile, "Yo, Gigi, long time no see."

"Don't be so affectionate., I don't know you that well."

Gigi snorts. She has matured a bit compared to what she looked like five years ago. But the nobility and arrogance in her bones are still there.

"Are you looking for me for something? Come in and sit down."

"No, I just stopped by. I was surprised to hear that you had returned to Zurich last night."

"I've been here for some days now. How come you just heard about it?" Karin teasingly asks, "But what are you surprised about?"

"A few years ago when I was studying abroad, I heard that you had been chased away by Troy for fooling around with other men. But I didn't expect you to be a woman of means and that you will rise again after a few years, causing me to feel guilty for so long, thinking that my initial curse had come true."

Karin's face becomes gloomy as she says, "Although I'm not sure from whom you heard such rumors, it doesn't matter to me. After all, rumors stop at the wise. As for the feelings between Troy and me, we don’t need others to understand them. Besides, I don't think you are the kind of person who would feel guilty for your once childish behavior, Gigi."

"Hehe, I haven't seen you for a few years. And you are as sharp-tongued as ever. Your words can kill someone invisibly."

"Compared with some people, I am far worse. It is some others who are merciful and bloodless."

"Are you talking about me?" Gigi points at herself mockingly.

"Of course not. You haven't cultivated to that level yet."

"Then who are you talking about?"

Karin looks at her meaningfully, intending to say that person is Emmanuel. But as the words reach her mouth, she holds herself back reluctantly.

"Is everything okay? I'll get busy. The sunlight is too poisonous. If I don't bury the seedlings in the soil, they'll all die."

“Oh, My God!” Gigi snorts disdainfully and sarcastically, “How come you are so idle? Troy is so blind. He will almost end up going to jail because of several lawsuits. And his a woman only keeps thinking about taking care of a garden without being concerned about his matter at all. If he had married a lady from a high-ranking official’s family who was a good match for him, the problems would have been solved."

"If you want to fight for your brother, you can help him. After all, everyone knows how to talk verbally. It's only when they do it that it counts."

"If I could help him, I would have helped him early. Do you think I am as indifferent as you? I've been pushing my dad every day to find connections to absolve him."

"Heh, your father? Will your father help Troy? Your father probably wants his nephew to be doomed soon!"

"What do you mean?"

Karin thinks of that bald man. And in a moment of anger, she says what is in her heart. Looking at Gigi who is in shock and indignation, she simply makes everything clear, "Your father won’t sincerely help Troy.

"You're talking nonsense!"

Gigi jumps up angrily and points at Karin with a livid look on her face, "My father is not such a person! He treats my Troy better than he treats me. How dare you sow discord between us? I curse you for dying!"

"As for everything we do, God is watching us. As for whether I am sowing discord between you and whether I am wronging him, one day, the truth will come out. Justice is in my heart!"

Karin sneers, "If you think that my love for Troy is nothing, then the so-called affection you are talking about will be a piece of shit."

Gigi is completely enraged. She stampedes her feet and says fiercely, "Wait and see!"

"What do you want?" Karin grabs her arm, "Go and tell your father?"

"Yes, I am going to complain to him. What? Are you afraid? If you dare to slander my father, just wait. I'll make you regret it and bite your tongue off!"

"If I was afraid, I wouldn't have said it. Since I dare to say it, it proves that I'm not afraid. Your father hasn't revealed who he is yet. That's because he thinks no one knows his plot. Originally, I was wondering whether I should reveal him by myself or not. Considering that once I break up with him, he will kill Troy. So I have to hold myself back. If you didn't force me today, I wouldn't have told you. Now that you know, do whatever you want!"

Karin turns around and goes back to the living room, thinking that those unplanted chrysanthemums are destined to die innocently under the scorching sunlight.

Gigi drives down the mountain in a frenzy as she drives the car at the fastest speed. On the way, the traffic police wave a flag to slow her down. And she just ignores him. She is becoming hotter-tempered.

When she gets home, she rushes into the living room with an angry look on her face and yells at a maid, "Where is my father?"

"The Master is in the study with a guest."

"A meeting? To whom?"

"I don't know..."

She wrinkles her eyebrows, ponders on it for a few seconds, and walks resolutely towards the study. A maid stops her in a hurry, "Miss, the master doesn't like to be disturbed when he's meeting his guests. You..."

"Get lost."

She glares, scaring the housemaid to dodge away from her hurriedly.

After she arrives at the door to the study, she is about to knock on it, only to hear the sound of conversation from inside, "How much is it now?"

"51%."

"Very good. Make it go up a little higher than this price"

"Okay."

Gigi bites her lower lip, wondering what she heard meant. But at that moment, the door of the study opens. And her father, who is standing inside, looks at her with a stunned expression, "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, I have to ask you about something."

"You should go first." Emmanuel glances at the young man behind him and then calls his daughter into the study, "Say it. What is it?"

Gigi asks straightforwardly, "Are you trying to take over Troy’s position?"

"His seat? Which position am I taking from him?" A trace of coldness flashes under Emmanuel's eyes.

"You want to take over the company that Grandpa left to him, don't you?"

"Who told you these words?"

As she is about to tell him truthfully about what had happened in Ziteng Garden, Karin's reminder that once the truth is revealed, her father will drive Troy to dead-end flashes across her mind.

"I heard some rumors outside."

"Then you believe those rumors rather than me, right?"

"No, Dad, it's because I believe you that I confirmed it to you."Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
