Then tears run out of Jacobâs eyes, as well as Karinâs. Sheâs moved by his gratitude, but grieved over his sin.
âSis, could you help me with one last thing?â
âOf course.â
âIf possible, could you please visit my mother for me? Sheâs an old woman of bad luck as sheâs lost her favorite threeâmy father, my sister and me.
His present husband is a son of a bitch, failing to take good care of her. Last time my mom was ill but my stepfather didnât have money to bring her to hospital. I was desperately needed money to cure her, and I asked my boss to give me the murder task which I hadnât done any like that before. Six years ago, when I left home to make a living, my mom told me not to do evil for a rich life. So, I didnât do dirty work for my boss, and he disliked me for staying poor and low. But last time was an exception as I wanted to save my mom. I didnât want her o die like my sister. The murder task upset me a lot, and I drowned my sorrows which caused the tragedy. What a loser I am!â
Jacob slaps himself in the face, and his thin shoulders tremble due to his sorrows.
âStop!â
Karin wants to stop him and says, âIâll get you out of here. Trust me. I will.â
âNo, you canât.â
Jacob shakes his head. âIâve sentenced to death. Although Iâm know little about law, but I know no one can save me.â
âI wonât give up until the last second.â
Karin wipes away her tears. âTrust me. Iâll get you out.â
âI would appreciate it if youâd often visit my mother for me...â
He canât ask for much of her.
âFine. I promise I will.â
Then Karin goes to the Charles Group. Although she doesnât want to, but she has to go there for Jacob.
After deliberating for a while outside Troyâs office, she brings it up and knocks on the door.
âMiss Karin?â
Here comes Robertâs voice from behind, and she swivels to ask, âIs he in the office?â
âNo.â
âWhereâs he?â
Robert shakes his head. âAfter you left, heâs been sad. He called this morning that heâd be away for three days. He didnât tell me his destination...â
Karin hastily says, âCould you please save Jacob?â
âJacob?â He frowns with confusion. âWho?â
âThe murder who was hired by Mia and ruined the wedding ceremony.â
âWhy save him?â
âHeâs my brother.â
âYour brother?â
Robert was shocked to death...
âI regard him as my brother.â
Then she tells him the story of her and Jacob. Robert lets out a long sigh. âHeâs not easy to save unless Mr. Troy saves him.â
âCanât you save Jacob?â
âSorry I canât.â
Robert looks at her with sorry. âEven if Mr. Troy can, he may not.â
âWhy?â
âBecause Jacob was the one that made Mia lose her legs, which caused a series of troubles for Mr. Troy and stopped him from marrying you. Do you still feel like heâll save Jacob?â
Silence spills between Karina and Robert. With red watery eyes, Karin says, âI wonât give up. If he comes back, please let me know, thanks.â
Watching her sadly leave, Robert sighs again.
Billie feels surprised when she meets Karin in the school.
âWhat are you doing here, Karin? Are you going to stay?â
âNo.â
âWhat?â
âIâm here to ask Troy for a favor.â
Billie widens her eyes and laughs, âI see. You donât want to leave when you get to the airport, but you are too embarrassed to tell Troy. So, you find an excuse to stay by his side, donât you?â
Then she nudges Karin. âDonât you try to fool me...â
Karin rolls her eyes. âNonsense.â
âWhat kind of favor do you want?â
âItâs a long story. Anyways, contact me, if you know where he is.â
âWhat? You canât find him?â
âYep. He said heâd be away for three days.â
âHe must be hiding away from you.â
âI donât think so...â
âWell, Iâll help you to ask my dear Robert.â
Then, on the following third day afternoon, she gets Robertâs call.
âHello, Miss Karin, Mr. Troy is back.â
âWhereâs he now?â
âIn his personal club. He just called me, but I havenât meet him.â
âDid you tell him Jacobâs stuff?â
âNo. I think itâd be better if you tell him by yourself. If I tell him...â He pauses. âIâm afraid heâll kill me.â
Karinâs heart pauses for a beat before gently saying, âOkay. Thanks.â
âYouâre welcome.â
After hanging up, she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath before going to Troyâs high-end personal club, which is located at the richest block.
He has taken her there for a couple of times, and sheâs familiar with it.
The manager is polite to her as he knows sheâs Troyâs only woman. He takes her to Troyâs suite.
When heâs about to knock on the door for her, she says, âI get this.â
âOkay.â
The manager nods and walks away.
With gritted teeth, she finally knocks on the door after minutes of deliberation.
âCome in.â
Her heart stutters as she hears his voice. She takes another deep breath before walking in.
Heâs alone in the suite. Sitting in the luxury sofa, he closes his eyes. On the table in front of him are some bottles of Chateau Lafite Rothschild.
Dimmed lights upset Karinâs mind.
âItâs me.â
Looking at him, she doesnât know how to start a normal conversation.
Troy suddenly opens his eyes. When their gazes meet, she was shocked by the complicated emotions in his eyes.
Troy says first, âWhat are you doing here? Arenât you leaving?â
Karin stares at her shoes and answers, âCall me a coward as you like, but I really want to ask you for a favor.â
How much bravery and strength can force her to this point?
âWhat kind of favor?â
âCould you please let go of Jacob?â
âJacob? The guy hired by Mia?â
âYes.â
Troy rises to his feet and walks toward Karin. âHow could you know him?â
âHeâs one that I saved, but he left without a goodbye.â
Troy canât believe Karin saved a murderer.
Itâs hard to make them meet in a big world.
âGive me a reason to save him.â
Karin swallows and tells him the touching story of her and Jacob.
Then she adds, âEverybody can make mistakes, but itâs important to correct them. Therefore, I really hope that you could spare him a chance to reborn.â
âAre you truing to let me forgive him?â
âYes.â
Troy smirks, âEverybody can make mistakes. Why can he be forgiven, but I canât?â
Karin bites her lips and shifts her eyes away. âWeâre talking about Jacob.â
âWhat about me?â
âDo you save him or not?â
âNo.â
As Robert said, he doesnât want to save him.
âWhy not?â
âDonât you get it? Who makes you angrily argue with me like this?â
Capture Your Heart ï¤Chapter 164 Stay With Me I The Reunion After Seven Years ï¤Chapter 611 Our Future Wolf President Hooks Up ï¤Chapter 681: The End âFine. Jacob was the murderer, but donât you forget that he didnât plan the murder. It was Mia who took the charge, and she was the real murderer.
Why donât you put her into the prison?â
âSheâs already pathetically disabled. Sheâd die in the prison.â
âShe deserves it. If you can forgive her, then youâll forgive Jacob.â
âHe was a murderer, and he can become a murderer again. However, Mia is different. I donât forgive her, instead, I just take pity on her. As a disabled woman, she poses no threats.â
âYou have prejudice. You donât know Jacobâs goodness as you havenât contacted with him. As for evil ones like Mia, they can cause great trouble unless theyâre died.â
âI havenât contacted with him, and little have you done. You get emotional when he just shed a tear and made up a touching story. Iâve told you more than once that this world isnât so good as you think it might be.â
