Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 282

Robert immediately catches up with her and pulls her arm, "Are you going to give up like this?"

"Yes, I won't accept that man's help. He is trying to redeem himself. I won't let him get away with it!"

"So what even if it's atonement? Now it’s not time for us to care about our dignity. Think about Young Master Troy. Think about the Charlie Group. Won’t you regret giving up this opportunity?"

"I won’t. I will only regret it if I accept his help. How can I face my mother who has carried the burden of being an illegitimate daughter all her life? How can I face my grandmother who had been waiting for him all her life and finally died with hatred?"

Karin shakes away Robert's hand and runs forward without looking back.

Robert roars in anger, "I thought for the sake of Young Master Troy, you could give up everything..."

Hearing his words, Karin is stunned. And once again, she feels that she has difficulties moving.

"Even if he will feel better in his heart after he helps you, it is his business. As long as you don’t forgive him in your heart, it will be the same that he doesn’t make up for it. Why do you have to make yourself suffer because of your impulse at a moment?"

Karin is a little swayed. She admits that what Robert said does make some sense.

"If you give up such a good opportunity for your impulse at a moment, you surely will regret it in the future. Because that man has been like this all his life. How can you expect that he will suffer in the future because of your words? The most correct thing to do now is to do as he said. Pretend that nothing happened. If you refuse to forgive him, pretend that you didn’t know him. After the work matter is settled, you each should go on with your respective lives. He didn’t appear when your grandmother needed him most. And now that he has appeared, he shouldn't become a nuisance in your mind."

Karin nods. In the end, she decides to put away the dignity in her heart for the sake of the Charlie Group. Even if her grandmother knows about this underground, she surely will support her choice.

She and Robert return to the Chairman's office. Simon is still sitting where he has been with one hand pressing against his forehead. The look on his face can’t be more sorrowful. It seems that after that blow just now, he has aged a lot at once.

Robert softly solicits, "Mr. Simon, can we put aside personal matters for a moment and talk about the investment?"

He nods feebly, "Good."

Karin sits down. Her gaze is no longer as resentful as it was just now. She does pretend that she didn’t know Simon.

"When do you plan to invest in us?"

"Anytime will do."

"Do you need anything from us as collateral?"

"No need."

"Should you ask for permission from your board first?"

"No need."

"Then you mean that you can sign the contract for your investment now, right?"

"Yes."

Robert expresses his gratitude joyfully and hurriedly takes out a pre-prepared contract from the briefcase as he hands it to Simon.

Without even glancing at the contract, Simon signs his name quickly and decisively.

"Don't you want to confirm the terms?"

"No need. I trust you."

"Thank you so much. On behalf of all of the Charlie Group's employees as well as Young Master Troy and Mrs. Karin, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you."

Robert bows to Simon respectfully, puts the signed documents into his bag, and gestures with his eyes, indicating to Karin that she should say a few words of gratitude.

"Thank you for taking pity on my silly grandmother. Goodbye."

She stands up and turns around to leave. But Simon says, "Originally it wasn't because of your grandmother that I decided to help you guys. But now it's indeed because of her instead."

“Hehe.” Karin sneers, "Judging from how you treated my grandmother cruelly and how you treated your friend's descendants mercilessly, I know how insensible you are. So do you expect me to believe that you succumbed to your conscience after just one night?"

"Yes, I admit that it is indeed not because I succumbed to my conscience. Instead, it is because someone came to me last night. And it was because of him that I decided to help you. It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not."

"Who is it?"

A trace of strangeness flashes across Karin’s heart. And she unconsciously associates the man in Simon's with the person who delivered her the letter last night.

"I promised him I wouldn't reveal his name."

Robert opens his eyes wide in surprise. And he hurriedly sits back, "Mr. Simon, if what you say is true, please tell us who this person is? We would like to thank him in person."

"No need. He doesn't want to see you guys."

"Why?"

"Please forgive me for not being able to tell you the truth. Originally I wasn't even supposed to tell you guys about this. It is because I didn't want to be misunderstood that I had to say it."

Karin suddenly asks in a stern voice, startling Robert, "Is it Troy?"

"No."

"Really?"

She looks straight at the haggard old man in front of her as if she wanted to verify her suspicions from the look in his eyes.

"It's indeed not. Didn't you guys say that he had lost his memory? How could a person with amnesia have come to me?"

Thinking that Simon’s words make sense, Robert sighs and says apologetically, "Mrs. Karin is overly homesick. Sorry, we are going home now."

"In the future, if there is anything you need, feel free to come to me. Even if you say that I am helping you to make an atonement, I will appreciate the opportunity which you will give to me to atone for my sins."

Hearing Simon's sincere voice behind her, Karin walks away without looking back.

After leaving the Red Sun Real Estate, Karin is in a muddled state. On the one hand, she suddenly knows about the existence of her grandfather. And on the other hand, she always feels that the person who secretly helped her is Troy. Although it is indeed a bit impossible, she is more convinced in her heart because of her intuition.

The two of them haven’t made a trip in vain. Although they did suffer some pain in the process, they get a gratifying result. Sitting on the plane back to Zurich, Karin begins to be glad that she didn’t turn down Simon because of her impulse at a moment. The current situation is a perfect example. After going back to Zurich, she surely won’t keep the grandfather who appears in her life briefly on her mind all the time.

As soon as she gets off the plane, she doesn’t go back to the office or back to Ziteng Garden. Instead, she rushes to the Kim family and insists on seeing Troy.

She wants to confirm her suspicions. And she begins to wonder if Troy had indeed lost his memory or if he is suffering from something else.

A maid of The Kim family comes out and opens the door, saying, "Young Master Mu and Miss Molly went to America two days ago. And they haven't come back yet."

Karin isn’t convinced. So the maid has to let her go in to have a look. Searching for Troy in the Jim family for a long time, she doesn’t see Troy at all. And she has to believe in depression that Troy isn’t in Zurich. Even so, it doesn’t affect her suspicions. In her opinion, the fact that Troy isn’t in Zurich doesn’t mean that he surely has gone to the United States. If he went to England instead, nobody would know about it.

The success of getting an investor, moreover, a very strong investor, makes the shareholders immediately think more highly of Karin. They begin to hold her in high esteem. At the meeting, they no longer look at her with contempt and suspicion in their eyes.

After the meeting, she expressionlessly walks back to her office with a folder. Someone comes up behind her. And she doesn’t turn around as she continues to walk in the direction of her office.

"Not bad. You impress me quite much."

William walks alongside her and compliments her from the bottom of his heart.

"Compared to you, I am far worse. Vice President William, in the future, I have to seek a lot of advice from you."

She coldly glances at him, pushes open the door of her office, and walks in, banging the door shut again. Her office is right behind William’s with hers at the front and his at the back, which is just like her goal.

After getting off work that evening, as soon as Karin returns to Ziteng Garden, she gets a phone call from a sanatorium. And the phone call is made to the landline in the living room. She doesn’t come to her senses at the time. It is not until she hears the counterpart mention Gloria's name that she realizes that the counterpart is talking about Mia's mother.

"May I ask what happened to Mrs. Gloria?"

"She's been out of control for the past two days. And she has been yelling, requesting to see her daughter. We couldn't contact her daughter. So we had to contact Mr. Troy. But Mr. Troy isn't available either, right?"

"Well, yes."

"Then what can we do? How about you come over and see her? Because she is a patient that Mr. Troy has instructed us to take good care of. So we dare not take her lightly."

"Now?"

"Yes, she's making a lot of noise right now."

"Okay, then I'll go over and take a look."

Karin hangs up the phone and then contacts the driver to drive the car up the mountain. After she changes her clothes, she rushes to Cosy Home Sanatorium.

It takes an hour and a half for her to arrive there. And after she gets out of the car, she goes straight to the front desk of the sanatorium where only two nurses are on duty. She walks up and asks, "Did you call me just now?"

One of the nurses asks in confusion, "No, what's wrong?"

"It is a nursing staff in your hospital who called me two hours ago, saying that Gloria was out of control mentally. And she asked me to come here and see her."
