Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 173

Walking to a secluded corner, a silver sports car stops in front of her, and a stylish girl in a beautiful dress steps out of the car.

“Show me your cell phone.”

Her tone is just as proud as her appearance.

“Who are you?”

“You don't need to know who I am, just give me your phone.”

“Why should I give you my phone?”

The girl snorts coldly, hooks her finger, and two men immediately jump out of the car.

They step forward to grab her arm on each side, making her unable to move, and then the girl steps forward and pulls out her phone from her pocket.

After taking a closer look at the phone, the expression on her delicate face instantly changes, and she gnashes her teeth and curses, “You vixen...!”

Billie follows her gaze and sees the photo of her and Robert on the lock screen, and she immediately knows who the person in front of her is.

“Are you Robert's fiancée Gigi?”

“Exactly.”

Gigi looks at her up and down, “You are just average looking. How dare you to steal my man?”

She gives a sign to the men, and they drop Billie to the ground, and then beat her heavily.

If she didn’t notice that Robert’s phone’s lock screen is a photo of him and a woman, Gigi wouldn’t know that Billie exists. She is so angry and nearly gets crazy back then, and she immediately asked people to investigate that woman. At this moment, looking at the lock screen that is exactly the same as Robert’s in her hand, the jealousy in her heart is burning wildly.

“Does it hurt?”

She squats down and looks at the woman with a bloody nose and swollen face proudly, “Kneel down in front of me and beg for mercy, and promise not to mess with my man again, then I will let you go.”

“Forget it!”

“Keep on beating her!” Gigi’s body trembles with anger.

Billie holds her head with her hands, endures the intense pain on her body, and grits her teeth tightly. Even if she will be beaten to death, she will not give in to the condescending woman!

“Stop.”

After Gigi venting her anger, she tells the two men to stop. Her exquisite high heels stop in front of Billie's eyes and she slams the phone on her body. She arrogantly says, “This is just the slightest lesson for you, if I find out that you still have a relationship with Robert, you should prepare a coffin for yourself, huh!”

She turns around to leave, thinks for a while, and then turns back, “I heard that you and that village girl, Karin, are good friends? Do you want to imitate her because you’ve seen her get a rich man? So ridiculous. She is not lucky, but just that Mia is too incapable. However, I am different. I will never allow such things to happen to me!”

Gigi's slender high heels step on her hair, and says lastly, “Remember, even if you and that village girl manage to marry a rich guy, you are destined to be trampled underfoot by us, because in your veins, flows the blood that should be trampled!”

Billie doesn’t go to work for five days. On the sixth night, she sees Robert waiting for her at the door of her house.

“What happened to you?”

Robert stares at the wound on her face and asks in shock and distress.

She indifferently takes out the key to open the door, and ignores him.

“I ask, what happened to you?!”

Robert grabs her arm.

“Why do you care? We broke up, haven't we?”

She shakes his hand off and inserts the key into the door.

Robert glances at the plastic bag in her hand and snatches it away, “You only eat this? Do you eat instant noodles every day?”

“I said it is none of your business! Who are you? Why will you care what I eat!”

“Tell me, did someone beat you?”

He hugs her abruptly and touches her face.

Billie closes her eyes and reminds herself that she can no longer indulge in this illusory love. It’s time for her to wake up.

“Go away, I don't want to see you again.”

She frees herself from his embrace, and steps into the room without hesitation, and bangs the door closed.

She doesn’t open the door even though Robert has been knocking on it for a long time. In desperation, he calls Karin. After hearing that Billie is injured, Karin immediately rushes down the mountain to her place.

When she sees Billie, Karin is stunned, and finally asks after a while, “What happened?”

Billie does not speak, and sits at the corner of the sofa curling up, staring blankly at the floor.

“What the hell is going on? Say something!”

“Gigi came to me.”

“So, did she beat you?”

“Yep.”

Karin feels her blood instantly rushing to her head. She turns around angrily and is about to run out, but Billie holds her back, “What are you doing?”

“I'm going to get even with her! Who does she think she is? How could she beat you!”

“No need.”

Billie's tears run down from her face, “We are not going to win. Just assume that nothing happened.”

“Billie!”

Karin looks at her in disbelief, “How could you become like this?”

“Like what?”

“It's not like you.”

“I'm still me.”

“You are not! If you say this, you are not you. The former Billie was absolutely impossible to eat dirt. The former Billie would definitely return an eye for an eye.”

“Yes, that was the past. People change.”

“Even so, you can't be like this!”

“Then what do you think I should be like?!”

“No matter what it be like, we can't give in!”

“Not give in?” Billie sneers, “We are just ordinary people who come to Zurich to live a normal life. Gigi and we are not people in the same world. Do you think it is possible to hit an egg against a stone? You are with Troy, you know clearly, how many people in Charles family look down on you. Do you know what they think of us really? They say that we are born to be inferior! So we deserve to be trampled underfoot!”

Karin is stunned, her face gradually becomes cold, and she turns around blankly, but Billie still holds her tightly.

“Let go.”

“What else do you want to do?”

“I told you to let go!”

She yells, breaks free from Billie’s hand, and runs out angrily.

She runs all the way outside Robert's house and calls him out. After a while, Robert comes.

“Have you seen Billie? How is she?”

Slap…

Karin slaps him fiercely, gnashing her teeth and says, “This is for Billie.”

Robert frowns, and asks in a trembling voice, “Where did her injuries come from?”

“What do you think? Except for your omnipotent fiancée, who else can do this? Who else has such a vicious heart?”

She smiles mockingly, “Robert, I despise you! You can’t protect even your beloved woman. What kind of man are you? A coward like you is not qualified to talk about love. In the future, please stay away from Billie! It doesn't matter if you can't give her love, but don't hurt her again!”

Staring at Robert's restrained expression, she grunts contemptuously, and walks away.

Walking aimlessly along the spacious road, the wind blows her long hair, but can’t blow the tears from the corners of her eyes away, thinking of Billie’s desperate eyes, thinking that every time when she was bullied, it was her who stood up to protect her. Now Billie encounters this kind of thing, but she can’t help her at all. This kind of frustration makes her feel extremely sad.

Zurich is a beautiful city at night, because of the colorful neon lights. How long has she been here? Almost four years. Ever since she stepped on this land, she never thought that there would be any love miracles to happen here, let alone that she would be looked down upon by others. She and Billie both have a tough relationship. Though they are faced with different pressures, the injuries for them are the same.

Maybe it's really because they don't belong here.

Walking up the mountain, she almost collapses. She feels so depressed that she nearly can’t breathe. Before she enters the cage again, she silently squats to the corner of the wall and cries hard.

She wants to cry out all the unhappiness in her heart, and even vent all Billie's pain.

“Karin, what's wrong?”

A gentle voice seems to be coming from the horizon. She lifts her fuzzy and tearful eyes and finds the person standing in front of her with a concerned expression is Troy.
