Prev Chapter Next Chapter

"No way." Karin grows more and more frightened. If so, then she will be done for.

Will Uncle Lennon just leave her alone?

Karin arrives at Uncle Lennon’s mansion in fear. Charles Family is indeed one of the richest families in

the world. The house is extravagant and grand, even more so than those of the local authorities.

When she gets out of the car, Karin grabs Troy’s arms and enters in. She thinks, is this all rich people

live for? Having a party every day? This means they are more superior and noble? How boring!

"Troy, you are here."

Lily says hello to Jessica and Troy, smiling. Beside her is a middle-aged man with a square face who

has big eyes and brush eyebrows. He seems serious and looks melancholy.

Karin knows for sure that this man is the one who makes Lily cry last time. He does not want to be

trapped by marriage.

"Yes."

Troy nods at that man as a greeting. He does not call his name or exchange the usual pleasantries with

the man.

"Hey, why don’t you talk to your brother-in-law?"

"He is not. They haven’t been married."

"But almost?"

"What?"

"They are getting married soon?"

"You can ask them yourself."

Troy just says it casually. But Karin takes it seriously. She turns around, trying to make her inquires.

Troy stops her, "You really want to ask them?"

"It does not matter."

"Have anyone told you that you are a busybody?"

Karin shakes her head, "No."

"Then I’ll tell you. You are."

Troy stares at her, and then grabs her arms. They walk into the central hall hand in hand.

As expected, Karin clearly feels the hostility around even though she is with Troy now. It seems that

even a family banquet is not easier than a business dinner.

Troy greets his uncles one by one. Standing by his side, Karin also gives her greetings. Although they

do not respond fervidly, this is the best she can thinks of. However, Uncle Emmanuel greets her

warmly.

"Hey, Miss Karin looks very beautiful today. Even the ladies of our family cannot compare with you."

Emmanuel exclaims from his heart. He does not call her Karin. Instead, he adds Miss, calling her Miss

Karin.

Karin blushes, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Emmanuel."

She moves her eyes after seeing Gigi’s mutinous look. But before that, she gives Gigi a smile.

"Uncle Emmanuel?"

Gigi raises her chin arrogantly and says, "Dad? Has Brother Troy gotten married? Why does she call

you uncle?"

"Gigi, behave yourself."

Emmanuel glares at Gigi, scolding.

And then he turns to Karin, "She is spoiled by me. Please forgive her."

"I don’t mind. I like Gigi. She is straightforward and outspoken, just like me. But this also makes it easy

to offend people."

"I am not like you." Gigi retorts back, "Don’t put feathers in your cap."

After she finishes her words, Gigi immediately rushes towards somebody, saying, "Hey, Robert."

Karin turns around, only to find Robert in a suit, going towards them. Gigi has affectionately taken his

arms. Karin feels sorry for Billie when she sees this.

"Mr. Troy and Miss Karin."

Robert nods in greeting. Karin gazes at him with a meaning look and says deliberately, "I haven’t

expected that Robert is Gigi’s boyfriend."

"He is my fiancé, not boyfriend."

Gigi corrects the title Karin uses. She tries her best to tell the world that Robert is hers.

There is gloom in Robert’s eyes. But he says nothing.

"Let’s walk around."

Knowing Karin is in a bad mood now, Troy leads her to somewhere else.

"Hey, Arya."

"Wow, is this Karin? You are so beautiful that I even failed to recognize you."

Arya looks up and down at the stunning Karin with surprise.

"Are you envious? No need. You are also very beautiful when you are young."

Troy tries to make fun of her. Arya pretends to be angry, "You mean I am old?"

"No, I dare not. Lily does not get old. How could you?"

"Oh, stop it."

"By the way, have you seen Milan?"

This is what Karin want to know. She fears most about Milan but strangely, she has not seen Milan

since she arrived.

Devoted to the family, she should have been there on such an occasion.

"I guess she goes to find her husband."

Troy’s face turns cold, looking sullen.

Arya is called over by Lily. Karin takes this opportunity, asking, "Why did she go to find her husband?

Doesn’t he know there is a family banquet today?"

"That’s what he is."

"What do you mean?"

"It’s annoying. Let it go."

Troy sighs, asking, "Do you want something to drink? I can get you some."

"No, thanks. I want to go to the lavatory."

Troy points somewhere, saying, "On the right corner of the left path."

"Okay."

Karin goes to the bathroom, carefully taking care of her dress. After she finishes, she finds her hair a

little bit loose, so she tightens her crystal hairpin. When she is about to leave, she encounters Gigi.

"The ghost does not go away, always trying to follow people."

Gigi rolls her eyes at Karin and says angrily. Karin feels unhappy. What does she mean? Who comes

first? She has never seen such a rude person before.

"Wait."

Karin does not want to quarrel with Gigi. But she is stopped by Gigi when she has moved a few steps.

"What’s the matter?"

"This looks beautiful. Give it to me. As a welcome gift."

Before Karin agrees, Gigi reaches out and grabs her hairpin. Karin’s hair scatters around as a result.

"Why should I send you gift? It’s not the first time we meet."

Karin almost goes crazy.

"It is because you didn’t give me anything the first time we met, so now you have to make up for it."

"Funny. Then why don’t you give me something?"

Gigi tilts her head, thinking for a while, and says, "Okay, I will give you this."

Gigi takes Karin’s hand while fumbling in her pocket, and then put something in Karin’s palm before

leaving confidently.

Karin feels like crying seeing the little tissue in her palm.

She comes back to the party hall with bad mood. Troy asks surprisingly when he sees her loose hair,

"What’s wrong with your hair?"

"I was robbed of my hairpin."

"What?"

Troy raises his eyebrows in surprise, not knowing her implied meaning.

"I was robbed of by Uncle Emmanuel’s daughter."

Karin rolls her eyes and goes towards Robert. She lowers her voice, "Robert, I don’t know whether I

should congratulate you or not. Your fiancée is really a good woman. But I am curious if you can hold

up?"

Robert is stunned and then asks, stammering, "Why did you say that?"

"Don’t play dumb. You know what I mean."

Karin does not want to make it clear because she sees Gigi coming close. She does not want to

confront with Gigi face to face, so she leaves.

There is still some time before the party begins. Feeling bored, Karin decides to make a phone call to

Billie, asking if she has come back to Zurich and also complaining to her.

Seeing Karin is about to leave, Troy stops her and asks anxiously, "Where are you going?"

"Make a phone call."

"Again?"

"Yes? What’s wrong?"

"Are you not afraid of being kidnapped again?"

Karin smiles, "Am I look like that unlucky? Being kidnapped every day?"

"Just in case."

"It’s fine. I won’t go far and will come back soon."

Emmanuel waves to Troy and says, "Come here."

"Uncle Emmanuel is calling you."

"I know."

He urges again, "Don’t leave too long. Come back soon."

"I know."

Karin runs all the way to the door. She calls Billie in the dark corridor.

The moment the phone is answered, Karin starts complaining about how Gigi grabs her stuff but only

gives her a tissue in return. She is so immersed in complaining that she fails to notice there is a man

over there.

Stanley Ball hears someone making a call on his way to the banquet hall. As he is looking for the

sound, he is struck by what he saw, a very beautiful girl, like a fairy. He rubs his eyes in order to make

sure it is not an illusion. Then, he steps forward, looking carefully at her.

He is a notorious playboy. He has dallied with a lot of beauties and made love with many of them. But

the girl in front of him makes his soul tremble.

She has an amazing beauty beyond her years. Her light eyebrows are carefully tweezed. Her thick

eyelashes are like fans, making her bright, beautiful eyes even more piercing and pretty.
