Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 133

"Today is the day when all the members of our family gather. As the patriarch, I want to say a few sincere words. Before I speak, I would like to toast to everyone first. Come on, cheers."

All the people raise their glasses. Karin isn’t good at drinking, but she’s afraid of making the Charles family unhappy, so she has to bite the bullet and picks the glass up.

Just when she purses her lips and is about to drink, Troy reaches out to take her glass, and says softly, "I'll drink it for you."

Although it's a small movement, there are still a lot of people who see it, including Stanley. He’s staring at the man and woman who are sitting opposite, with extremely complicated expression.

"The Charles family has been rooted in Zurich for a hundred years. We know what we have been through a lot along the way. Now we have a pivotal position in this foreign country, but we must not relax but continue to work hard to promote Charles Group. Let our industries spread all over the world, and let the people of the world know the existence of the Charles family!"

Amidst the thunderous applause, Karin gets surprised. What an arrogant tone! She doesn't expect that an old man in his fifties has such ambitions. It’s really appalling.

After a pause, he continues, "On the road of our development, all of the members of the Charles family must keep their minds clear. Women must not lead bad guys into the family, and men must not indulge in females. Today we gather here. Among more than thirty people here, how many persons didn’t come here last year? How many persons came here last year but don’t come here this year? What does this mean? It means that it is no easy to stay in the Charles family. You might be sitting here today. But next year, the seat you’re sitting in may be replaced by another person, so the last few sentences are for new members of the Charles family. You must have a clear understanding of yourselves, and do not be arrogant or complacent!"

Karin's nails are about to get into the flesh. These words are clearly pointed to her. She feels extremely embarrassed, as if everyone is looking at her.

"Uncle, do we come here to eat today, or to listen to your speech? You can make a statement, but can you wait until we are full?"

Troy’s words make Karin break out in a cold sweat. What is he talking about? Is this indirect accusation that his uncle's words are annoying?

God, she is so scared that she doesn't dare to breathe. Everyone here dares not to speak, but he dares. No wonder his uncle dislikes him so much...

In fact, apart from that Karin is surprised, the rest of the family don't feel surprised at all. Because they’ve seen it quite often.

In the whole family, only Troy dares to refute his uncle, and doesn’t take his uncle’s words seriously.

Lennon's face turns gloomy. But it’s the family banquet after all, he can’t lose his temper. He can only suppress the anger and nods, "Well, then please enjoy the meal."

There are endless toasts during the banquet. Although Karin has Troy to drink for her, she still feels distressed when she sees him drinking so much wine alone. She grits her teeth and starts to try to drink by herself.

But she really can’t drink. After taking a drink, she covers her mouth and runs off the seat, heading straight to the bathroom.

As soon as she gets to the bathroom, she vomits hard. Her stomach seems to be burning, which is painful. It’s extremely uncomfortable.

She pats her head reproachfully, "You are really useless, so useless! You are the only one who doesn't know how to drink at the banquet. Idiot, idiot!"

She’s annoyed. Suddenly, her slender waist is hugged hard from behind. She screams in fright, and then she sees in the mirror that the person holding her is Milan's husband, Stanley!

"Let me go! Let go of me!"

She struggles angrily, wishing to kill the man.

"Don't make a sound... Don't make a sound... If others see us... I'll just say you seduce me..."

Stanley is obviously drunk. His eyes are blurred and he gasps slightly.

He presses Karin to the wall, and moves his lips to kiss her. She turns her pale face away, avoiding his kisses. She says with a trembling voice, "Bastard, let me go! If you don't let me go, I’ll call for help!"

"Don't shout... I like you... I like you the first time I see you... Really..."

Stanley's breathing becomes rapid. His strength becomes stronger and stronger so that Karin has no chance to move. She’s so anxious that she bites her lip hard to almost bleed. If she shouts, it will surely draw the attention of all the members of the Charles family. What will they think of her? She knows exactly what kind of person Milan is. Milan will definitely blame her. At that time, she will be unable to explain it...

She lifts her leg to hit Stanley. With a terrible pain, his hands loosen. Just when Karin is about to escape, she doesn’t expect to be caught by him again.

He endures the pain and says vaguely, "Huh?... I just like feisty girls. You have the guts to hit me again..."

This time, he presses his face against Karin's face forcefully. She closes her eyes in pain. She can’t care about anything but just shouts, "Help!"

"What are you doing?"

Just when she calls for help, Milan stands in front of them angrily. Karin has a bad feeling. The next minute, a hot slap hits her face.

"You shameless bitch. I’m going to kill you today!!"

Milan suddenly leaps towards Karin like a mad lion and is about to slap her again. Stanley blocks Milan, "Enough! Hit my woman in front of me... How dare you are being offensive!"

Hearing these words, Milan is so furious. She hysterically catches Karin's neck, "Go to the hell!"

The quarrel finally gets the attention of the people in the living room. Troy is the first to rush over. He pushes the Milan away and takes Karin into his arms. He asks angrily, "Are you crazy?"

"Am I crazy? Do you know what your woman did? She actually seduces my husband to make out here!"

Milan points at Karin with a distorted expression, her body trembling violently with anger.

"No!! No!! He was taking advantage of me!!"

Karin cries aggrievedly. Why every time she accompanies Troy to a party, she would end up like this...?

Stanley has drunk too much. He becomes more and more zonked.

Troy steps forward and punches Stanley onto the ground. Milan snarls, "Stop it. This bitch hooks up him. Why are you hitting him!!?"

"You still defend him? Does he treat you as his wife? Wake up!"

"I don’t need you to take care of my business. Watch your own woman. Don’t let her come out to seduce other men. Not only she seduces you, but also dares to hit on my husband. If you still continue to be with her, she’ll hook up all the men in the Charles family!"

Milan's words are extremely vicious. Karin hears some mocking voice behind her. She can't help it anymore and runs out of this place which tramples on her dignity...

She runs in random direction, tears falling down on her cheeks. She just wants to love someone and not provoke anyone else. But why? Why do these people always provoke her?

Seeing the beloved woman crying and running away, Troy angrily drops a sentence, "You know clearly what kind of person your husband is!" He chases out.

He drives the car all the way to search, and finally finds Karin on the way back to Ziteng Garden. She’s squatting on the ground with her hands hugging her shoulders. She looks lonely. Troy stops the car and pushes open the door quickly. He walks to her and pulls her up. He says with a sullen expression, "Didn't you promise me not to disappear from my sight?"

Karin leans on his chest and just cries without speaking. She cries for a long time before saying, "Troie, I didn't seduce your brother-in-law."

He smiles, "Do you think I will believe what my elder sister said? In this world, I only believe in you."

She’s moved, really moved! She throws herself into his arms again and cries out until she vents all her grievances. She sniffs and says, "Let's go home."

"Go home?"

Troy's gaze at her turns hot and dangerous. From her beautiful face to the snow-white neck, to the full chest, down the slender waist, to the slender legs… She clearly sees his throat rolling.

"When we went out, I knew it was a wrong decision to bring you out tonight..."

He picks her up abruptly and opens the door, then throws her on the back seat...
