Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 265

When Troy receives a phone call from his Uncle Emmanuel, Emmanuel, saying that he has found the real killer of Jacob, Karin, who is very shocked, insists on following him down to the police station to see who the one that had murdered Jacob was.

When the two of them arrive at the police station, Emmanuel has been there. Karin thinks of her previous suspicions about him and looks at him in an extremely unnatural way.

Troy asks with uncertainty, "Uncle Emmanuel, is it true that the murderer has been found?"

"Yes, I already have solid evidence."

"Who is it?"

"It's someone you know."

Emmanuel says rather regretfully, "Go in first. You'll find out later."

The three of them walk into the police station. And the police come over to take a statement, "Mr. Emmanuel, you said you have found the real murderer who killed Jacob five years ago, do you have any evidence?"

"Yes."

The assistant whom Emmanuel brought over hands him a folder. Then Emmanuel takes out a pile of photos from it and says, "The real murderer who killed Jacob is this woman in the photo. Her name is Mia. She used to have a marriage engagement with the Charlie family."

"Mia!"

"Mia..."

Karin and Troy speak in unison. Both of them are very shocked. They surely don’t expect Jacob's death would be related to Mia again.

"Five years ago, she had found someone from the underground and faked a car accident. The one who worked for her back then was Jacob. In that car accident, she broke her legs to save my nephew. Later, my nephew held a wedding with her. However, on the day of the wedding, Jacob suddenly appeared to expose her plot, making my nephew leave in anger. She then blamed all her misfortune on Jacob. And the two men in the photo are the two killers she hired at the time."

Karin grabs the photos on the table and sees that Jacob was punched and kicked by the two men. There were many photos, most of which are scenes of fighting. And the rest are images of Mia talking with the two men.

She can't describe what kind of mood she is in. She is shocked, angry, and confused. Her hands holding the photos are shaking. And her ears are buzzing. When she ponders on this matter carefully, Mia is indeed a great suspect. If it weren’t for Jacob's exposure, Mia surely wouldn’t be where she was now. So Mia probably assumed that Jacob ruined her life and ruined her happiness. In that case, it is reasonable that she sought revenge on him. It's just that they didn't suspect her. After all, nobody will expect someone with broken limbs to hire a murderer.

But now, the facts are right in front of them.

After looking at the photos and comparing the time shown on the photos with the time before Jacob's death, the police immediately issue an arrest warrant for Mia.

What is even more shocking and unexpected is that on the same day, Mia commits suicide after Emmanuel provides the police with the photos that proved Troy's innocence.

By the time Karin and Troy get the news and rush to Mia’s residence first, the scene has been isolated. And a police officer with a transcript book is questioning Mia’s maid.

"When I came back, I found that the Lady wasn’t in her room. So I looked for her everywhere and found her in the bathroom. She was lying in the bathtub. And the artery in her hand had been cut. There was blood on the floor. I was so scared that I fell to the ground. And it took me a while to get over it. So I ran over and called out to her. But her body was already cold. And she wasn't breathing."

"Is there anything unusual about her in the past two days? Or did anyone come looking for her?"

The maid recalls, "The night before last, a man came to her. And the two of them quarreled in the room. I vaguely seemed to hear that they were talking about something like photos and fees to make someone shut up. After that, I didn’t pay attention to their conversation."

On the way back, Troy doesn’t say a word. And his face is gloomy.

A long time later, Karin says, "She's dead in the end."

Although Mia was originally someone she hated. And now Troy is cleared. She should reasonably be happy. But she isn’t. Instead, she is so sad in her heart.

She feels so not because of sympathy for Mia but because life is so fragile.

"Do you think Jacob was indeed killed by someone hired by Mia?"

Troy doesn’t answer. And his face is as gloomy as ever. Karin then no longer asks him any further questions. She knows that even if Mia and Troy have nothing to do with each other, after all, the two of them were once going to get married. He surely doesn’t want to See Mia end up in such a desperate situation.

The news about Mia committing suicide spreads quickly through every corner of Zurich. And the Internet is buzzing with rumors. The most formal version goes like this, " Troy Charlie is the Charlie family’s heir. His former fiancée was blackmailed for hiring a murderer five years ago. And she committed suicide in her bathroom at midnight last night. There aren’t any signs of homicide on the scene"

If Mia hadn't been Troy's fiancée, she wouldn't have become the focus of public attention today.

Mia’s fear of suicide completely clears Jacob’s case. To put it nicely, the evidence is conclusive. To put it bluntly, the dead can’t talk.

In the evening, Karin receives a call from Troy, saying that Emmanuel invited him to dinner at six o'clock in the evening and that he will drive back to pick her up so that the two of them can go to the appointment together.

By the time they arrive at the Charlie family villa, Emmanuel has been standing outside the gate to greet them, patting Troy’s shoulder with a cordial smile, "Finally, you've solved a big problem."

"Thank you, Uncle Emmanuel. This meal should be on me." Beyond words, Troy is grateful to Emmanuel for finding evidence to exonerate him.

"What are you saying? Why should we, who are a family, be so polite to each other? Your father is no longer alive. And I am your father. Between a father and a son, no words of gratitude are needed."

Karin holds Troy's arm and remains silent. At this moment, Gigi comes out and calls out softly, "Troy."

"Gigi."

When Troy sees her, a smile appears on his face, "I heard that you've been working hard lately, right?"

"Yes, what can I do if I don't work hard? Someone threatened to cut off my economy. Other girls from a rich family surely aren’t as aggrieved as me."

Gigi looks askance at Karin. And when their eyes meet, they have a meaningful look in their eyes.

"Come on in. It is a good day today. Let's have a good toast tonight."
