The news of Karin's arrival in Zurich soon reaches Molly's ears.
At noon, Yuma receives a phone call. And then she walks to the garden and says to Karin who is busy,
"Miss Karin, a woman who claimed to be Mr. Troy's sister just called, asking you out to have afternoon
tea. I wonder if you have time?"
She is stunned. And she nods, "Yes, where is the appointment?"
"Fragrance Cafe."
"Okay, I got it."
She pats the mud on her hands and turns around, intending to go inside to change her clothes. Then
she turns back and asks, "Did she say exactly when?"
"She said she was there by now."
"Oh, okay." Karin changes her clothes and rushes to Fragrance Cafe. Standing in the middle of the
elegant hall, she sees Molly's figure at a glance. Although she has only met her twice, she remembers
her clearly.
Molly also notices her and waves her hand with a confident smile on her lips. As Karin walks towards
her, Molly nods her head, "Hello, here we meet again."
Karin smiles at her and asks very directly, "Are you looking for me for something?"
"I heard you came to Zurich this morning. And it just so happens that I am not very busy this afternoon.
So I asked you out."
"Is there something you want to say to me?"
Molly smiles, "Nothing important. I just want to talk to you casually. I think you know that Troie has
saved my life. In my heart, he is more dear to me than my father is. And you are the woman he loves.
In that case, I should get to know you, shouldn’t I?"
"Oh so, it's nice to meet you then."
Karin stretches out her hand. And the two of them shake hands.
"Didn't you bring the baby over?"
"No."
Molly pauses, "Is that child… really Troie's?"
Karin raises her head abruptly. It is clear that Molly's questioning upsets her, "Do you want you to do a
DNA test for him?"
"Oh, that's not necessary."
Molly smiles unnaturally, "By the way, you two aren't officially married yet, are you?"
"It is just a matter of time."
"Now Troie's situation is too dangerous. There is a lot of evidence against him at the police station. I
heard that Jacob, who died five years ago in a strange way, was your recognized little brother.
Shouldn't you go and testify for Troie, proving that he couldn't have murdered someone you know?"
"Do you think the police will believe what I say? I'm Troy's woman. With my position, it's simply not
appropriate for me to appear in that kind of situation. Society nowadays is governed by law. And
everything is about evidence."
"It seems that you can't help him much."
Karin slightly wrinkles her eyebrows. Although Molly speaks lightly, her words make Karin extremely
uncomfortable, which are with a taste of mockery.
"He saved your life. Shouldn't you also think about how to repay him?"
Molly nods, "Yes, I do want to repay him. I'm just afraid you won't agree."
"Me? You helped my lover. Why wouldn't I agree?"
"You probably don't know that my father's brother-in-law, that is, my aunt's husband, is the Deputy
Director of the police department. As long as he is willing to speak up for Troie, the person behind the
scenes who keeps providing the police department with evidence against Troie can be revealed. As
long as we find that person, we surely can find the real murderer who wants to frame him. It is a trap,
whose purpose is to put Troie to death. If we get no connections in the police department, never will we
know who the one providing the evidence is."
"And then what?"
"I approached my aunt. But she refused to help me, saying that although Troy had saved me, this
matter was serious. And he has nothing to do with our family. She was afraid that she would implicate
her husband. So she strongly refused to help me."
Molly pauses and continues, "I then turned to my father, hoping he could convince my aunt. And guess
what my father said?"
"What did he say?"
Karin frowns inquiringly. In her heart, she has already guessed that Molly does have an ultimate motive
by asking her out...
"According to him, for my aunt to take this risk, it is necessary for the Lee Family and Charlie Family to
be in-laws and Troy to be the son-in-law of the Lee Family. In that case, the Lee Family will be obliged
to help him."
“Hehe.” Karin sneers and finally understands everything. And she mockingly questions, "Is that so? Is it
your father's intention? Or is it your intention?"
"See. I knew you would misunderstand me. Of course, it is my father's intention. I have known Troie for
five years. And I know clearly who he likes in his heart. If I had this intention in my heart, I would have
told him long ago rather than wait until this time."
"Isn't this the best time for you to take advantage of the current situation?"
"Karin, you are so paranoid. I am so grateful to Troie. Even if everyone in the whole world failed him
and betrayed him, I wouldn’t do so. In my heart, without Troie, there won’t be Molly. I won’t forget that
he gave me what I have now. So please don’t say such words to aggravate me. "
"It's not that I'm paranoid. Instead, it is because both Troy and I have been deceived many times that
we won't trust anyone else except each other. If you think I've misunderstood you, then prove your
innocence with your actions and find a way to get your father to help Troy. Then I will be grateful to
you."
"Do you think I didn't think of a way? I was out of options before I told you. I thought you would prioritize
the big picture., but it seems I overestimated you."
"The big picture? What's the big picture you're talking about?"
"I don’t want to steal your lover, not to mention that I can’t do so at all. But I think that a couple who
truly loves each other should make a sacrifice for each other unconditionally rather than focus on
possessing each other. Now Troie is facing pressure which you can’t imagine. Because of the
involvement of multiple lives, his credibility has been significantly affected. And his career has been
affected greatly as well. Although I do not want to break you up, what I proposed is the best way at the
moment. If the Lee Family and Charlie Family can be in-laws, besides doing everything possible to
clear Troie's name, my father will also help him and support him in his career. I hope you can consider
my proposal carefully."
"You can say these words to Troy. Why are you talking to me? Is it to make me back out consciously?"
"It's not that I want you to consciously back out. It's that I want you to persuade him. Because only you
can convince him to marry me and be connected with my family. If he agreed so easily, I wouldn't be so
worried."
Karin snorts and raises her eyes to carefully survey her. For a long time, she asks meaningfully, "Do
you know Mia?"
Molly shakes her head, "No, why are you asking me so?"
"Then haven't you heard anything about her?"
"No. Who is she?"
"Then come with me."
Karin gets up and walks towards the door of the cafe. While Molly follows in confusion. Then Karin
takes her to Mia’s family house.
Five years have passed. Karin wonders whether the woman is still here. However, even if she doesn’t
bring Molly over, she will come here alone.
Pushing open the door, she sees a garden of barren grass, indicating that this place is unattended for a
long time. The two of them walk in the direction of the living room one after the other. And when they
enter the living room, a woman in her forties asks in surprise, "Who are you looking for?"
Karin asks out loud, "Is Miss Mia here?"
"Who are you?"
"I am her friend."
"Oh good, she's in the room. I'll go get her to come out."
The woman turns toward one of the rooms and knocks on the door, "Miss Mia, you have a friend here."
A moment later, the door opens. And Karin hears the sound of a wheelchair sliding. Then she slowly
raises her eyes and stares at a pair of feet in the wheelchair up to the face.
If it weren't for the eyes that are still full of hatred for her, Karin probably can’t recognize the person in
front of her. Mia is even more emaciated than she was five years ago. She, who is originally lean and
thin, is even thinner than before, looking almost like a skeleton. With her hai being scattered on both
sides of her face, her eye sockets look deep. Her face is sallow. Her lips are dry and cracked. And her
two hands on the wheelchair are frighteningly bony.
Molly takes a step back. And Karin knows that she is shocked.
"Karin, how unexpected it is. Here we meet again."
Mia coldly opens her mouth. Originally, Karin thought that only her appearance has changed. However,
hearing her voice, she realizes that even her voice has changed into a gloomy, scary one, which is
more in line with her current appearance.
