Capture Your Heart

Chapter 268 The One Behind the Scene Starts to Get Exposed 1

Originally, Billie is depressed and hopeless. And how Gigi teased her infertility irritates her so much she can’t wait to kill someones. It is probably because of the determination and fierceness showing up in her eyes that Gigi is instantly intimidated.

"Psycho. I will spare you once today. Next time, you won't be so lucky."

After Gigi finishes her words, she walks out the door of the mall without looking back. And the expensive clothes thrown on the ground are all abandoned, reflecting the essence of the rich to the fullest.

In the conference room of the Charlie Group, a group of shareholders is staring at Troy who is sitting in the chief seat as if they were wolves.

One of the shareholders sitting closest to Troy asks with a cold face, "The company's stock price goes on to fall. Some important partners have also terminated their contracts with us. For such a situation now, Mr. Troy, how exactly do you want to explain to us?"

"I already have a solution. Please don't worry. Give me another week, I promise to turn the situation around."

"Last time, you also guaranteed like this. And it turns out there isn’t any improvement at all. How can we believe you?"

"The situation won’t change even if you don't believe me. And there is still hope for it to change if you believe me. In that case, why don't you choose to believe me?"

The shareholders look at each other. And one of them says, "We want to believe you too. But the key is that we can't afford to have any further delay. How much money do we have to lose if we delay it for one day?"

"If that's the case, I won't force you all. Those who are willing to support me will stay. Those who aren’t willing to support me can leave now. But I want to remind you first that I am only in a temporary dilemma now. And one day, I will turn the tide. At that time, I will remember your choice. I won’t forgive those who abandon me in the face of great difficulties. Likewise, for those who support me in my most difficult time, I will have to reward them."

A few powerful words of his completely startle the shareholders, making them whisper. After some discussion, no one gets up to leave. All choose to believe him.

"Thank you all for your support. I, Troy, hereby swear to live up to your expectations. Wait for my good news."

When the meeting ends, Robert follows behind Troy and confirms, "Mr. Troy, do we indeed have to go there tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"There shouldn't be much hope, right? It's been more than ten years since we've talked to each other."

"Even if there is one percent hope, we can't give it up. This is the only leverage we have to solve the company's problems at the moment."

"Okay, then I'll go book a flight."

"Don't book a plane ticket, we'll take a cruise so that we won’t be found with ease."

"Got it."

By the time Troy goes back to Ziteng Garden, it is nine o'clock at night. Karin waits for him as usual. Every time she says she won't wait for him, she goes back on her words every time. For her disobedience, Troy can’t do anything to her.

"Are you back?"

Karin is very happy to see him. She goes forward to take off his jacket for him. While taking it off, she says, "It's true that without my aesthetic match, this item of clothes can't make you look like someone with aesthetic taste."

"So I haven't had any aesthetic taste in the past, right?"

"Yes, did you just know that?"

"So your appearance is what makes me realize that people should live to have an aesthetic taste."

“Oh.” Karin laughs roughly, "Have you eaten dinner yet?"

"No, I guess you would wait for me. So I didn’t eat anything and came back to eat with you."

"Great, then let's eat."

When the two of them sit down at the table, Troy says to her solemnly, "Karin, I have to leave Zurich tomorrow for a few days."

She looks up suddenly, "For a business trip?"

"No, I'm going to Macau to meet someone."

"Macau? Your ancestral home? You don't have any friends or relatives there, do you?"

"A friend. But he isn’t my friend but a friend of my father's."

"What are you meeting your father's friend for?" Karin blinks in confusion.

"The company is caught up in some trouble. And we need a strong investor to join it to change the status quo. The one I'm going to see is the largest real estate developer in Macau. He also has a lot of assets abroad. As long as he is willing to take a stake in Charlie Group, it will help us a lot. Now the stock price is down. Because some investors have withdrawn their capital to make others panic. If my father's friend is willing to lend a helping hand, then all the problems we are facing will be solved."

"Will he help you? The company's stock price has fallen because your credit has been damaged and others no longer dare to cooperate with you anymore. Although he is your father’s friend, it is something related to his interest anyway. I wonder whether he will take his friendship with your father in the past into his account.

Karin lowers her voice, "Everyone in the world is indifferent and selfish. Others are eager to avoid you. I wonder who is willing to take the risk." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Don't think so pessimistically. Think on the bright side of everything. No matter what the odds are, I'm going to try it by myself."

She holds his hand, "Okay, if you want to go there, go ahead. It is that you should be careful. The enemy is in the dark. You are in the light. And you can’t be more vigilant."

"I know."

This night, Karin tosses and turns all night, always feeling very uneasy in her heart. She doesn’t like this feeling of unease. It seems that every time there is such a feeling in her heart, there will always be something wrong.

As soon as the dawn comes, Troy will leave. However hard she tries, she just can’t fall asleep. So she quietly gets up and plans to personally make him breakfast. Once she gets busy, she won’t have any random thoughts. Unlike lying in bed, she will think about everything randomly.

At exactly seven a.m., she wakes up the man in bed, takes out a set of clean clothes for him, and carefully puts them on him.

"Remember to call me when you get there. Or I'll be worried."

"Yeah, I know."

"If he won't help you, forget it. Come back and we'll figure it out."

"Okay."

"This is for you." She takes out a small purse with Tibetan writing from her pocket and puts it into his hand, "Whenever and wherever, you have to take it with you"

Troy asks curiously, "What is this?"

"It's a peace incense bag I bought when I first traveled to India. It's said that as long as you put it on your body, it can keep you safe. Whether it's so spiritual or not, let's believe it for once."

"Good."

He smiles, puts the incense bag into the jacket pocket, and kisses her forehead, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry. Staying by my side always makes you end up in endless worries."

"Don’t say so. I have been your wife. Whether I am living a happy life or not, I will be always with you for my life. I won’t find it hard. As long as you think of me in the most difficult time and feel that I am the greatest motivation in your life, I will be satisfied."

Troy takes her into his arms, leans over her ear, and says gratefully, "What more can a man ask for when he has a wife like you

After breakfast, Karin wants to send him to the port. But he refuses.

"Don't see me off. After all, we experienced the scene of separation many times along the way. This time, don't let me go through it again, okay?"

Karin bites her lip and says softly, "I just want to see you off to the ship. I'll be relieved to see you get on board safely."

"But I just want to see you say goodbye to me at home so that I will always remember that someone is waiting for me at home in my mind. And I will urge myself to come back home as soon as possible."

"..Okay then."

The two of them embrace each other again. Karin grabs Troy's hand, feeling unwilling to let him go. He flirtatiously points to the time on his watch, "If you don't let me go, I'm going to swim to catch up with the cruise ship."

"Have a safe trip. I will stand here every night and wait for you. No matter when you come back, I will always be here for you."

"Good, take care of yourself."

They, who have been holding each other’s hands tightly, finally part reluctantly. Troy gets into the car, gazes deeply at his wife one last time, and starts the engine, setting off...

Troy and Robert take a U433 cruise ship aliased as "Seal" that day and leave Zurich. Originally, they would arrive in Macau in the evening. However, the cruise ship breaks down in the middle of the journey. And it is not until 9:00 pm that they arrive in Macau.

At 9:40 p.m., there is a knock on the door of the luxury suite they are in. And the two of them alertly stare at the door at the same time.

"Waiter, Meal delivery is coming."

"We didn’t order any meals."

"It is the captain's intention. We are sorry for the delay caused to the tourists. Please accept our apology."

Robert turned back to ask for Troy's opinion. Seeing Troy nodding, he then opens the door. And the waiter pushes the food cart in.
