The atmosphere is deadly silent. Even the blood seems to freeze.
Karin turns on the light and turns around to look at Troy's eyes, saying, "Are you kidding me?"
"I’m serious."
"Then I’m telling you seriously, I won’t give birth to a baby for you if we don’t get married!"
This is the second time she has emphasized that she is unwilling to have his child. At least, she is
unwilling to have his child in such a situation.
"Let's get married."
Troy's deep eyes shows absolute firmness. She hears nothing wrong. He’s proposing to her.
"Will you marry me?"
Seeing her silent, Troy presses her shoulder and questions.
Karin's expression is a little dazed. The image of him walking on the red carpet not long ago with
holding someone else's hand pops into her mind. The image of her squatting in the bathroom, letting
cold water pour from her head to her feet and seeing the red blood bleeding from the wrist pops into
her mind. That kind of helpless and desperate feelings pops into her mind.
So she shakes her head, "I need time to think about it."
Troy feels sorry for her and embraces her, "It doesn't matter. I will give you time."
The night passes like this. The morning sun is rising from the east. Karin is standing in front of the
French window in her pajamas, recalling the memory of Troy’s proposal to her last night. It’s like an
unreal feeling, more like a dream.
"Morning."
Troy’s powerful arms encircles her waist from behind. He leans over her neck, and gently kisses her
earlobe.
"I am going to work at Triumph Group today."
She thought he would be angry at her, but unexpectedly he just smiles and says, "Well. Good."
Looking at his deep eyes, Karin is very puzzled.
It’s the first time she works. But she has no other special feelings. William is a good boss. With his
guidance and help at work, Karin feels that her choice is right.
After a week, she has basically fit in the working atmosphere. Every day, she goes to work at 9:00 in
the morning and gets off work at 5:00 pm. Her life is busy, but it has become fulfilled. She has no too
much time to think about things that have happened but are still unpleasant.
Troy returns to Ziteng Garden on time every night, but he never asks her about her work. He doesn't
ask her and she doesn't take the initiative to tell him either. As if he has never opposed it before.
Until one day after half a month, when Karin is working in the office, the director’s assistant yelled,
"Come out and assemble. Today, the major shareholder of the company will come to visit."
Karin gets up reluctantly, and mutters, “What major shareholder? Just visit. Why should the employees
have to go out and assemble?”
After leaving the office, Karin stands with her colleagues in the center of the hall. Five minutes later, a
limousine stopped in front of Triumph Group. Two men in suits open the door. The person in the car
steps his one foot out of the car first.
Karin looks away and shows no interest in the appearance of the shareholder. She only hopes that the
shareholder can let them return their seats to work.
A sharp footstep gradually approaches, which sounds domineering. Just when the shiny leather shoes
come to Karin, the person suddenly stops. Karin looks up confusedly. The next second, she is
stunned...
The major shareholder is Troy!
But Troy just stays in front of her about three seconds, and then he continues to walk forward
expressionlessly. Although it’s only the short three seconds, it is enough to make her feel terrified!
Karin turns her gaze to William. She sees the same confusion and surprise in his eyes. Except for her
and William, no one here knows the relationship between her and Troy. But she and William do not
understand what is going on at all.
After returning to the office, William asks her in a low voice, "What does he want to do?"
"I do not know either."
"You'd better pretend that you don't know him, lest you be misunderstood by others, thinking you are a
commercial spy."
Karin is a little depressed, "Is it so serious?"
"Of course not."
William smiles, "Just kidding. But if others know your relationship with Troy, they will doubt your
purpose of entering Triumph Group, such as me."
"Do you really think I am the spy arranged by Troy?"
"No. His Uncle Emmanuel owns 40% of the company's shares. It’s said that Troy has a good
relationship with his Uncle Emmanuel. He shouldn't do that. Moreover, he doesn't have interests in a
small business, such us our company."
"How can he become the shareholder if he’s not interested?"
"He should have bought other people's shares and comes for you."
"Come for me?" Karin stares wide, wishing to rush out immediately to ask Troy clearly.
Knock, knock...
The door of the office is knocked. The assistant says, "Mr. William, Mr. Mason asked Miss Karin to
come over."
William raises his eyebrows, "See, I'm right."
Karin takes a deep breath and enters the office of Mr. Mason. As William said, there is only one person
sitting in the office. The person is Troy.
"What do you want to do?"
Karin asks angrily.
"Didn't you say you don't want to work with me?"
"So you bought others' shares and became the shareholder?"
"Yes."
"Are you insane? I just want to work here peacefully. Why do you come here to make trouble?"
She finally understands why Troy didn’t object to her working at Triumph Group before. Because he
has already had a plan long ago.
"Make trouble? Are you talking to me?"
"Huh-huh? Is anyone else here?"
"I can fire you."
Karin is extremely depressed, "If I knew that you would do such a thing like this, I would not have come
to work here."
Karin turns around annoyedly. It seems that her efforts in half a month are in vain again.
"Wait."
Troy stops her, "I didn't fire you. Why are you leaving?"
"What do you want from me?"
"It's very simple. You can continue to work here. I no longer object, and I will not come here often in the
future. I give you freedom, but you must agree to my proposal."
"Proposing? Oh, are you proposing? You are forcing me to marry you!"
"Whether it is proposing or forcing you to marry me, my only purpose is to get married with you."
"I said that I will consider it. You also said that you will give me time to consider!"
"I'll give you time. But how long has it passed? It's been half a month. How many half a month can I
have in my life?"
Karin stares at his aggrieved expression. She’s really speechless.
"You give me another seven days. I will give you an answer after seven days."
"Deal…"
The news that Robert is going to get married is finally known by Billie. But it’s not Robert who tells her
personally, but Karin tells her. If it weren't for accompanying Gigi to buy some wedding supplies and
being ordered around like a maid, Karin might be able to bear it for two more days.
Billie calls Robert in disbelief, but Robert’s cell phone is turned off. In a rage, Billie takes a taxi to
Robert’s house.
After the door is opened, Rex asks in surprise, "Miss, who are you looking for?"
"Hello, sir, I'm looking for Robert."
Rex looks her up and down with some doubts, then he turns his head and shouts, "Robert, someone is
looking for you."
Robert walks to the door to see. After seeing Billie, Robert’s eyes widen in surprise, "Billie?"
"I heard you are getting married, right?"
Billie chokes with sobs and asks. Robert is startled. He quickly holds her hand and says, "Go. Let's find
a place to talk."
Robert takes her to a nearby park. He looks at her eyes directly, and says guiltily, "I'm sorry..."
"What do you mean by sorry? Are you really going to get married?"
Robert nods, "Yes."
"What about me?"
"I told you from the beginning that I am not a man you can rely on."
"Why are you not the man I can rely on?"
"Because I have the mission of loyalty. I can't get rid of this mission."
"Have you resisted it? Have you resisted it hard for me?"
Billie asks tearfully.
"I haven't resisted. Because no matter how hard I resist, I can't change the result."
"How can you know the result if you don’t resist? What kind of marriage makes you think you can't
escape?"
"My marriage has been decided since I was a child."
Robert turns his back sadly, "When I was a child, my father has told me that Gray family lives to serve
Charles family. As long as it is something that Charles family orders, even if we have to pay with our
lives, we can’t resist. My marriage has already decided by Mr. Troy’s parents. So I knew from a young
age that I could get married, but only with Emmanuel’s daughter.”
