Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 287

"So what are your plans now?"

"At present, I am collecting the evidence of Uncle Emmanuel’s murder. Several consecutive murders are all committed by him alone. But he did them quite neatly. It won’t be an easy thing to prove that he is guilty. No matter how difficult it is, I won’t give up. This is the best opportunity to take him down. After that, I will check on his financial account details. The reason why he has so much money to buy shares is that he has done some illegal things. Do you know why my eldest uncle suddenly died?"

Karin frowns, "It was to frame you."

"It isn’t the sole reason. The main reason is that my eldest uncle had a book of accounts that recorded all the illegal activities of my second uncle in recent years, including who did transactions, how much money was embezzled from the company, and which people were bribed. All were recorded clearly. Originally, he wanted to use the book of accounts to threaten my second uncle to help him take over Charlie Group. However, he didn’t expect that my second uncle wanted Charlie Group more than he did. So when my eldest uncle threatened him with the account book, he killed his biological brother without hesitation so as not to get his plans disrupted. And by the way, he did so to frame me, trying to kill two birds with one stone. Unfortunately. I was not as easy to be dealt with as he thought, which is the same as the fact that he isn’t as easy to be dealt with either."

"Where are the account books now?"

"It is destroyed."

"Did your second uncle destroy it?"

"Yeah."

Karin stomps her foot regretfully, "Emmanuel is not bad. He is indeed sinister and cunning. This is good. The account book is destroyed. And his nasty behavior will be completely covered up."

"That's not necessarily true."

"Is there another way?"

"He destroyed only the copy of the account books. My eldest uncle seemed to be unscheming. Even so, when it came to this matter, he was very cautious about it. He surely didn’t take the original to my second uncle. If he weren’t completely confident, he would leave a way out for himself."

Karin asks with hope, "Where is the original one? Is it in your hands?"

Troy shakes his head, "No, the whereabouts of the original account book is now unknown. I am looking for it. And my second uncle is also looking for it. It is another important piece of evidence that can destroy him. It is unknown who has it now."

"Could it be that your eldest uncle handed it to his son?"

"No, my eldest uncle wouldn’t be so stupid to leave that ledger to his son. After all, the account book has to be in the right place to play its role. In court, it may be evidence to expose a person's crime. However, outside the courtroom, it can make someone get into trouble. No way that Simon Charlie can take down my second uncle. So my eldest uncle surely couldn’t have put his son in a dangerous situation. "

"It is strange. Then who would Samuel give the account book to? Could it be your fourth uncle or your fifth uncle?"

“Hehe.” Troy sneers, "That would be even more impossible. Those two, who are easily swayed, have always changed their standpoints. At this moment, they probably have turned to my second uncle."

"Yes, it's true. At the shareholders’ meeting last time, if the two of them didn’t mess up, I would have expelled Emmanuel and William of the Charlie Group."

Karin is angry at the mention of this. And suddenly, she remembers something and asks, "By the way, you know that William is Emmanuel 's illegitimate son, right?"

"Yeah, I know."

"Then do you… know why Emmanuel hates your family so much?"

Troy nods his head again, "Yeah, I know it as well."

"Hey, it's so sinful. For a person who can hide his hatred for a decade, he is so scary."

Karin feels horrified at the thought of it. She grabs Troy's hand and says, "Honey, how about we'll give him the company. It's considered to make up for Father-in-law's fault back then. Let's find a place to live our lives in peace and quietness and never fight with him again, okay?"

Troy looks at the fear in her eyes due to lack of security and says heartily, "Do you think if you give him the company, he will let us go? He has been tormented by hatred for a decade. And his heart has been twisted. He won’t rest until my family is broken. And even if he is willing to let me go, now I won’t let him go. If we give up fighting with him because of our safety, how should we face those who died of aggrievance? How could the innocent die like that?"

Karin is speechless. She gloomily lowers her head, "Actually, I'm just saying. I know we won't be able to leave. And we can’t go."

Troy holds her into his arms, strokes her hair, and says, "Hold on a little longer. After getting over this most difficult period, no one can separate us in the future."

"Well..."

She nods heavily. At this time, Troy's cell phone rings. He presses the answer button and briefly says a few words. Although it is a brief conversation, Karin can tell that it is Molly who is calling him.

After Troy hangs up the phone, she asks urgently, "What's wrong with Molly? Doesn't she know that you're pretending to have amnesia?"

"She knows."

"How come?" She is surprised by this answer, "She knows you don't indeed have amnesia. Is she acting along with you?"

"Yes."

She is even more shocked. And all of a sudden, she has mixed and various emotions in her heart, feeling emotionally complicated.

"I thought she didn't know as much as I did. It turns out..."

Troy smiles, "Of course, she knows. Don't forget that she saved me. She knows more about my condition than I do."

"Then she is willing to cooperate with your acting."

"Yes, she is a good girl. She knows what kind of burden I am carrying. Moreover, she knows how difficult it is for me to defeat the enemy. So she helped me unconditionally. And for my sake, she even lied to her father."

"How did she lie to her father?"

"She lied to her father that I had amnesia. And she tried to win her father's sympathy for me so that his father would agree to help me unconditionally in the future when I needed his help."

"is it indeed unconditional help?"

Karin can’t describe what she feels in her heart. Subconsciously, she is rejecting Molly's good intentions.

"Yes."

"Then didn't Bono ask you to marry his daughter?"

"How can that be? He knows I'm married and that I have you. I can't possibly marry anyone else."

"But Molly..."

Karin wants to say that Molly likes him. However, she thinks of the promise she made before, that is, as long as Molly puts away the thoughts she shouldn't have, she will pretend that she hadn't heard anything. And now judging from the way Troy speaks, Karin knows that Molly shouldn’t have confessed her feelings to him.

Then, she should keep her promise, shouldn't she?

Troy asks as he raises his eyebrows, "What's wrong with her?"

"Nothing." Karin smiles bitterly, "Besides her, does anyone else know that you don't have amnesia?"

"Nope."

"Then is she worthy of our trust?"

"Don't worry. She is trustworthy."

"That's good, as long as it's someone you trust, I'll trust them too."

Troy kisses her forehead gratefully, "Thank you, you're always the one who understands me the most. And you are the one who motivates me the most as well."

He looks at the time, "It's almost three a.m. You should go back."

As soon as Karin hears him tell her to go back, her nerves tighten as she says, "I just came here. How come you're letting me go back?"

"Based on my observation these days, it is only during the period of midnight to 5 a.m. that the people arranged by Emmanuel don’t follow you. So before they find out about this, you have to return to Ziteng Garden at this period."

"What about us? Are we going to continue to pretend we don't know each other?"

"Yes. Before I find all the evidence, I can't let them find out that I don't have amnesia. Otherwise, they surely will raise their guard, which will make it more difficult for me to find the evidence."

"I'm sorry, I'm so happy in my heart right now that I may not have the confidence to act as sad as I did before."

Troy sighs and pokes her forehead with his finger without good grace, "That's why I can't do anything to you. You insisted on jumping into the sea in front of me. Are you satisfied now? Let me warn you, even if you can’t pretend, you have to pretend to be the same as before. Or..."

"Or what?"

"Or next time, I may indeed lose my memory."

Karin's heart tightens as she says with certainty, "Don't worry, I will never be their breakthrough point. And never will I let them find out that you don't have amnesia!"

"That's good."

"But it's only three a.m. Can I stay here for another hour? Just one hour?"

She holds up a finger noisily. After the shock of Troy’s disappearance, she feels that it will be good to stay with Troy for one more second.

"No, it takes an hour to get back and forth from here. Do you want to meet up with the spies Emmanuel planted?"

Karin lowers her head in defeat, reluctantly fishes her cell phone out of her pocket, and dialsRobert's number, asking him to come and pick her up right away. After hanging up the phone, she said, "What should I do when I want to see you? Can I come here?"
