Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 261

"I did have food."

"You ate very little. I heard it from Yuma."

"That's because I ate too many snacks while I was reading books. And as a result, I didn't have much appetite when it was time to eat the main meal."

"Don't make excuses." He glares at her with distress and says meaningfully, "Do you want to help me at the company?"

"Yes."

Karin nods with unparalleled certainty and affirmation.

"Then come on. You don’t need to read these books. Your education level is not low anyway."

"No. Although I did finish my master's degree, all I studied was economics, which isn’t of u=any use to you at all."

"Of course, it is useful. For a company, its economy is its lifeblood. So it is useful."

"But I want to help you more. In addition to the economy, regarding others, including operations, public relations, and crisis management, I want to learn them."

Seeing that she is so determined, Troy nods, "Good. Since you have such an intention, then learn more. I will teach you some things in the future. And I surely will train you to be the second Robert."

"Thank you. It is great!"

Karin happily kisses him fervently on the cheek, which Troy has been looking forward to.

"Let's go down to eat."

"Okay."

He leads her downstairs the same way he did years ago. He always leads her like this. Karin looks at the man walking in front of her and silently prays in her heart that besides in this life, she will let him lead her in her future next lives.

She willingly follows his footsteps. And she will do so even if it is to the end of the world. Regardless of the hardship and the danger, they can only go forward rather than step backwards.

Troy arrives at the police station on time. Robert opens the car door for him. As soon as he gets out of the car, he is presented with dazzling flashlights, making him close his eyes slightly. With an indifferent look on his face, he strides into the police station.

The presence of the media makes him very unhappy. But it is inconvenient for him to flare up now. So he disappears under the spotlights as quickly as possible.

"Mr. Troy, please explain in detail how Jacob’s body, who was smuggled in from L Country five years ago, was found?"

"Instead of investigating the cause of my uncle's death, why are you asking me about unrelated people?"

"Now, according to the reports of informed sources, the case of Jacob's murder is related to you."

In the gloomy interrogation room, an interrogator holds relevant documents and asks Troy, who is sitting across from him.

"What does it have to do with me?"

"Five years ago, he was the one who hit your fiancée with his car and made her disabled. And although you didn't care about it later on the surface, in reality, you didn't let him go, did you?"

"Is there any definite evidence for this? Or is it just your speculation?"

"Based on the results from the investigation, we made relevant guesses."

"If the results coming from the investigation prove that I killed him, then show me the results instead of guessing out of thin air."

Troy's tone is quite rough. And the interrogator can’t get angry because of his status. So he suppresses his anger and says, "We are law enforcement officers. And we have the right to analyze the case."

"Then what is your analysis now? Do you think I killed him?"

"From the statements recorded by the witnesses back then, it is true that you killed him. But there are still some doubts. That's why we are here to confirm the truth from you."

"The truth of the matter is that I didn’t kill him. His death has nothing to do with me at all. So is the case of my eldest uncle, Lennon ."

"Anyone who has killed someone surely won't admit that he killed someone. So..."

With a snap, Troy pounds on the table and says in a cold voice, "I demand a replacement."

"Replacement? Who will you like to have replaced?"

"Change the interrogation officer. Because your ability to handle the case makes me suspect that the day of clearing my name may be far away!"

The interrogating officer across him changes his face and says patiently, "Please don’t obstruct official business. Or else..."

"Go ahead"

“Bang!” Troy stands up, "I just came here to cooperate with your investigation. You can't do anything to me!"

Noticing that the atmosphere isn’t right, the assistant interrogator on the side hurriedly makes it up, "Well, well, since he asked for a change, then do as he said."

After changing the interrogation officer, the police continue questioning Troy regarding the case just now, "Mr. Troy, we summoned you to the case today. Because someone provided us with an important clue yesterday, that is, the night before Jacob disappeared, you had driven to his residence, that is, after you went there, he disappeared the next day."

This inquisitor is good, striking down to the point right away.

"Yes, I was there. But I went there to tell him something. I didn’t know that he would leave the next day. Neither did I force him to leave."

"What things did you say to him? Can you reveal them to me?"

Seeing him frowning, the inquisitor immediately explains, "Although some of it is private, we want to know if what you said is what caused him to disappear."

"Five years ago, my wife saved his life. And later she recognized him as a brother. It was indeed because of my wife that I released him on bail for the crime of intentional assault and arranged a job for him in my company. I went to him that night because I overheard that he had a crush on my wife. And I just warned him to put away his deviant feelings. Besides that, I said nothing else. As for the reason he left, it probably is because of this. But his death has nothing to do with me."

"Is there any evidence to prove that Jacob harbors an ulterior motive for your wife? Or is there anyone who can prove that what you said to him then was just a warning and not a threat?"

"No, I was there alone."

"Then I'm afraid things are not looking favorable to you."

"He left and went to an underground casino in Glorious Casino Venue, which you police surely know how chaotic it is. It can’t be more normal for him to die there. Why would you think it surely has something to do with me?"

"As for this, we have investigated it. Jacob wasn’t killed there. Based on the hospital's death registration time, he died at 9:00 p.m. on June 13. And at 8:00 p.m. that night, he showed up in the area around Shengjing Casino, which the surveillance video there can prove. In that case, he was killed in the hour between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. And how did you find him in such a short period?"

"Because my wife had been looking for him. So I sent my assistant to help her find him, which was indeed a coincidence. But the fact is that my assistant was rushed there after receiving a call from the person he arranged to find Jacob. At that time, Jacob had been beaten up and badly injured. And on the way to the hospital, he died."

The interrogator nods, "Okay, that's it for today. Please come back here tomorrow."

"Why? Do you think I'm idle?"

"I'm sorry for taking up your time. But we are also following the procedure. Please be more considerate."

Karin learns about Troy’S being called to the police station for interrogation at three o'clock in the afternoon. When she is reading a book in the study, she encounters a problem that she finds confusing. So she turns on the computer and searches for relative information online, only to inadvertently find that Troy is being scolded very badly on the Internet, saying that he is ruthless and murderous. And there is also a picture of him in front of the police station. Reading the reports, she is stunned at first. And she begins to breathe with difficulties.

Last night, after he came back home, he chatted with her happily without mentioning that he was going to be interrogated today. Neither did he mention that he had been scolded on the Internet. Since he didn’t say it, she didn’t find out anything at all. Karin thinks that she is indeed the most incompetent wife in the world.

Karin shuts down the computer, gets up, and walks to the window, feeling suddenly very sad and lost in her heart. She can’t imagine how pressured Troy is while facing the pressure of public opinion and how hard it is for him to force a smile while facing her at home. Fetching the cell phone out of her pocket, she intends to call him. However, it turns out that after she gets Troy’s number from the phone book, she can’t press the dial button. After she conflicts for a long time, she finally puts the phone back into the pocket.

It is getting dark. Yuma, who has got the dinner ready, doesn’t urge Karin to have dinner first. Because she knows that before Mrs. Troy is at home, Karin surely won’t eat anything first.

Karin stands outside the door of Ziteng Garden and walks back and forth while waiting for Troy. She wants to see him earlier tonight. So she runs out to wait for him here.

An hour has passed. Two hours have passed. It isn’t until at nine p.m. that she finally sees the familiar lights, which are the headlights of Troy's car. And his car is parked in front of her.
