After a brief silence, she smiles, âIt's okay. Since I canât be a bride, it's not bad to be a bridesmaid.â
âAs long as you think it's okay, then itâs fine by me.â
In many cases, happiness needs to be set off. The more unfortunate others are, the more happiness you appear to be, and vice versa.
In the afternoon, Karin receives a call from Troy, asking to have dinner together in the evening.
At a quarter past five, she goes to Charlie Group, and bumps into Robert, who has come out of the CEO's office. Thinking of Billie, she glances at him lightly and walks in without saying a word.
âYouâre here.â
âYep.â
âWait a moment. Iâll be finished soon.â
âOk.â
Karin stands behind him and watches him doing his work. Ten minutes later, he closes the folder in his hand and gets up and says, âOkay, let's go.â
âYou intervened in Robert's marriage, what does he think about it?â
âWhat can he think about it? That guy has one-track mind.â
âThen leave it alone.â
Karin is a little angry, âPeople who can't see the feelings in their hearts clearly donât deserve happiness. Anyway, Billie will return to Britain.â
âBillie is going back to Britain?â
âYes.â
âDoes Robert know?â
âHow could he know, don't tell him, it's useless to say it anyway, so be it.â
Troy frowns for a moment and nods, âLetâs eat first.â
âDo you have plan after dinner?â
After getting in the car, she asks curiously.
âYes.â
âWhat is it?â
âItâs a secret.â
âCould it be any surprise?â
âYou can think so.â
He tells her to think that way, so she believes it. After dinner, she follows him to find surprises, but Troy drives and stops outside of Emmanuel's mansion.
âIs this the surprise?â
She asks incredulously.
âYes.â
âThen I don't want it. I don't want to see Gigi.â
âShe shouldn't be at home now.â
Troy gets out of the car and drags her out too.
âBut what are we doing here?â
When she thinks of Emmanuel's sharp eyes, she feels unsettled. Probably because of Robert and Billie, they have already regarded her as an enemy.
âIâll tell you after we go back.â
They enter the living room, and Emmanuel is quite surprised, âWhy do the two of you come together today?â
Hearing the same tone as before, Karin breathes a sigh of relief, but still does not dare to look into his eyes.
âUncle Emmanuel, I want to discuss something with you, shall we go to the study?â
âSure.â
Troy lowers his voice and says to the woman beside him, âWait for me here.â
Afterwards, he enters the study with Emmanuel.
Karin sits on the sofa anxiously, praying silently that Gigi will never come back. After waiting for about an hour, the door of the study finally opens and they walk out.
âThat's it, Uncle Emmanuel, we should go back.â
âOk.â
Emmanuel nods, and Karin glances at him, seeing that there is no anger shown between his eyebrows, and he even has a faint smile on his face, and she is completely relieved.
Out of the gate of the mansion, she canât wait to ask, âWhat did you talk about with Uncle Emmanuel?â
âAbout Robert.â
âYou are not letting him cancel the wedding, are you?â
âYes.â
âThen why is he not angry?â
âWhy should he be angry? He agreed.â
âHe agreed?â Karin can't believe it, âDid you say he agreed?â
âYes.â
âHow come?â
âThere is nothing impossible in this world. Those that you think are impossible are often made possible under the temptation of certain interests.â
Interest...
She considers the meaning of his words, and then asks uncertainly after a while, âCould it be that you have promised your uncle interests?â
âYou are quite smart.â
âWhat interests did you promise him?â
âIâll give him a filiale of Charlie Group.â
âWhat? You...you...â
Karin is so shocked that she can't speak for a long time.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âWhy don't you discuss it with me? Didn't I tell you to forget about it? Robert doesn't fight for it himself. Is it worthwhile for you to sacrifice so much for him?â
âI said, I will challenge the regulations of my family, no matter what it takes.â
âBut what's the use of Uncle Emmanuel's promise? Your cousin will never give up!â
âHe will send her to study abroad.â
âWill she agree?â
âSince Uncle Emmanuel agreed, there must a way to tame her.â
âI really don't understand these people in your family. Suddenly they agree and suddenly they donât.â
Troy smiles and says, âDidnât I tell you? Iâll give him a filiale.â
âIt seems that Uncle Emmanuel is also a profit-seeking person.â
âIt's not that only Uncle Emmanuel is greedy for profit, but everyone is greedy for profit. As long as one is a businessman, itâs all about profits. Uncle Emmanuel loves her little daughter very much, so in his heart he also hopes that she will be happy. As soon as I put forward such a condition, He naturally agreed to it as a favor.â
Less than half an hour after they go back to Ziteng Garden, a noisy sound come from downstairs. Troy is taking a shower, so Karin goes downstairs first.
She gasps when she sees who is there.
Gigi stands in the middle of the living room with a cold face, shouting her name, âKarin, get out of here!â
âWhat can I do for you?â
She takes a deep breath and slowly goes downstairs.
âYou are really capable. Just with a few words, you can make Troy listen to everything you say. Now that you have succeeded, don't you feel very happy?â
âSucceed what?â
âYou know it clearly in your heart. Do you think that if you get me away, you and your vixen friend be able to sit back and relax? You are dreaming! I will come back someday to get back on you!â
After she finishes speaking, she walks out angrily. Only in a few steps, she stops, and smiles ironically, âRight, I heard that you are going to marry Troy, right?â
Karin ignores her, so she returns, stands in front of her, and says, âThen please accept my blessing and I wish you an early divorce!â
Gigi walks away, and Karin is stunned on the spot. She does not react until Troy comes downstairs in a bathrobe and asks her suspiciously, âWhat's going on?â
âYour cousin was here.â
âDid she say something terrible?â
âNo.â
She sighs lightly, sits on the sofa. There is no need to repeat this kind of unlucky words that she has been cursed for divorce even before she gets married.
âFrom tomorrow, we will be very busy.â
Troy sits next to her and says, holding her shoulders.
âWhat are we busy with?â
âChoose the wedding day, deliver invitations, take pictures, renovate the house...â
âWait.â
She interrupts him, âRenovate the house? Will we not live here after we are married?â
âNo longer, I think it's better to move in to a new one. A fresh start for everything.â
âBut I like it here.â
He is startled, âOK, we wonât live elsewhere. Just stay here as you like.â
âAs for the auditorium...where do you think is better?â
Troy asks cautiously, because he knows that she will not choose Kloster Fraumunster again.
Sure enough, an air of strangeness flashes through Karin's eyes, and she smiles, âWherever will do, you can choose it.â
âGreat.â
The weather is getting colder and colder, unconsciously, winter is here.
Gigi is eventually sent to France by Emmanuel, but Billie fails to get together with Robert.
They are still in the same company, but there are few chances for them to meet. Even if they meet, they are like strangers.
This makes Karin most depressed.
The night before Christmas, she meets Billie and can't help asking her, âHave Robert reached out to you?â
Billie shrugs, âYes.â
âThen what happened?â
âNothing happened.â
âYou still don't forgive him?â
âIt's not that I donât forgive him, but he doesnât let me.â
âHe reached out to you; he must want to get back together with you.â
âHe came to me, Nine out of ten times, didn't speak anything. Only one time, he said, âIt's cold. Put on more clothes.ââ
Karin sighs and is speechless, thinking that Robert had a lot of ideas in order to match her with Troy. Why is he so dull now to deal with his own love life? !
âHe may be shy. You can be more active.â
âNo way. I won't take the initiative anymore, and I don't want to take the initiative anymore. Love is a mutual thing. I feel tired when I work alone.â
âSo, youâre really giving up?â
âWell, if he is like that, we can't get together.â
After returning home in the evening, Karin runs to the study and says to Troy, âYou should have a talk with Robert.â
Troy asks puzzledly, âAbout what?â
âHe went to Billie but didn't say anything, then what does he mean? If he was acting like that, it's better not to go there.â
âThat's their business, why do you care so much?â
âBut I'm angry. We worked hard for them to be together. In the end, they are not together. Then arenât our efforts wasted?â
âIt won't be wasted, maybe itâs just not the time yet.â
âAfter the New Year, Billie will return to Britain. When will the time be?â
Troy sighs, âYou look like you are going to choke me to death. I am not Robert.â
âI know you are not Robert. I just ask you to talk with him.â
âOkay, I will talk with him.â
He pats her on the shoulder, âYou are already a bride-to-be, you should worry more about our wedding.â
As he speaks, he takes out a golden card from his wallet and hands it to her hand, âTake it. Let Billie accompany you to buy some wedding supplies.â
âDo I need to buy wedding supplies? Didn't you arrange people to buy them?â

âYou bought a lot of these for me.â
Troy is a little unhappy, âThose are what I bought for you, and you may not like what I bought. I mean you should buy something you like.â
