Chapter 263 An Unexpected Discovery 4

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Karin is very surprised in her heart. She doesn't expect that before she can ask anything yet,

Emmanuel will speak first.

She asks knowingly, "Could it be that the Hankseuk where I worked in Edinburgh is your company,

Uncle Emmanuel?"

"Did you leave Zurich and go to Edinburgh? And did you work at Hankseuk?"

Emmanuel raises his eyebrows in surprise. And the expression indicates that he isn’t disguised It

seems that he indeed doesn't know anything about this matter.

"Yes. Don't you know about it?"

"I don't know. That guy, William, didn't even tell me about it."

"Oh, he probably was afraid that if you knew I was there, you would inform Troy."

"It's possible."

Emmanuel smiles. But then he feels that something is wrong, "Huh, even if I tell Troy about it, what will

be wrong? Will it matter to him?"

"Uncle Emmanuel, don’t you know? He's the one who has a crush on me."

"Is that so?" Astonishment flashes in Emmanuel's eyes again. However, this time, besides

astonishment, there is a hint of complexity in his eyes as well.

"It's all in the past. Now that Troy and I are married. No one can interfere with our marriage again."

"Did you two get married?"

"Yeah, we got married the day before yesterday."

"Well..."

Emmanuel strokes his forehead and sighs, "As your second uncle, I can’t be more shameful. I can't

believe I didn't know anything."

"It isn’t your fault. It is that we are low-key. Since the current situation isn’t good, we didn’t want to make

too much publicity."

"By the way, can you not tell Troy about my acquisition of a company in Edinburgh?"

She asks again knowingly, “Why?"

"Because my father stipulated a rule during his lifetime that his children and grandchildren should not

pursue a career in L Country. So It's a bit not good if Troy knows about it."

Although Karin doesn't know how much of Emmanuel's words are true and how much of them are

false, she still smiles and agrees, "Okay, I will keep it a secret for you."

The secret isn’t long a secret.

"Did you come to see me today for something?"

Karin immediately replies, "Yes, Uncle Emmanuel, I want to ask you to help Troy. I don’t understand the

business. But I know that as people get along with each other, righteousness should be emphasized. I

do not understand why among the ones in the grand Charlie family, except for those who are against

him and harming him, how come no one can help him? Troy always tells me that you are the best

person to him other than his father, Uncle Emmanuel. And he always respects you. That's why I came

to you, hoping you can help him if you can."

Emmanuel lights up a cigarette, takes a deep puff, and says, "In fact, even if you don't come to me, I

will help Troy. But the murder case is not like other things which can be easily solved. I have been

thinking of ways and looking for connections. Don't worry. As long as I am alive and breathing, I will

never let anything happen to Troy."

Although she knows that she should not trust anyone, at this moment of helplessness, she is still willing

to trust Emmanuel in front of her.

"Okay, then I'll thank you on behalf of Troy, Uncle Emmanuel."

"We're a family. Don't say anything out of politeness."

Karin glances in the direction of the stairway and asks apprehensively, "Has Gigi come back yet?"

"Last year, she came back. I now put her to work in a branch. She complained that I forced her to break

up with Robert. Until now, she is still holding a grudge against me. As she came back and heard that

Robert had married Billie, she was so angry that she didn’t eat or drink anything for three days in a row.

I almost wanted to beg her..."

"Then did she go to make trouble in the Gray Family?"

Karin is more concerned about this.

"Of course yes. According to her character, she surely wanted to make trouble there, only to be

stopped by me. Only I could overwhelm her. I threatened her if she dared to go to the Gray Family and

made trouble there, from now on, I wouldn’t recognize her as my daughter. The thing she feared the

most wasn’t that I wouldn’t recognize her as my daughter. Instead, she feared that I would disable her

credit card the most. Hehe."

"I didn't expect you to be so reasonable, Uncle Emmanuel. I need to ask my good friend, Billie, to treat

you to a meal someday."

"That's not necessary. It is not that I am reasonable. Instead, it is that I reached an agreement with Troy

back then. In that case, I surely have to comply with it, right? And besides, Robert and Billie had been

married for a few years. Then what is the use of making trouble there? She is still an unmarried girl. If

her reputation is ruined, nobody will dare to marry her in the future."

Karin nods, "Uncle Emmanuel, your words do make sense."

Seeing that it is getting late, she gets up and says goodbye, "I'll go back first. And I will come back here

to visit you some other day, Uncle Emmanuel."

"Stay for a meal before you go back."

"No, I still have something to do."

"That's fine. Take time to come here with Troy so that we'll have a nice meal as a family."

"Well, okay. Goodbye, Uncle Emmanuel."

Karin nods slightly, turns around, and steps out of the living room. The sunlight outside is a bit harsh.

And she breathes a sigh of relief and walks straight ahead.

As she's walking, a man walks across from her. As he lowers his head, Karin can't see his face. When

he passes by Karin, she instantly feels that he seems familiar to her. And it seems that she had seen

him somewhere. But she can't remember where.

Pondering on it for a while in confusion, she pauses and turns her head to take a look at the figure

walking into Emmanuel’s villa hurriedly. Then she is more certain that she saw him before.

On the way back to Ziteng Garden, she carefully recalls in her head the man she just saw. The man is

bald. And there is a scar on the back of his head. She should have seen him five years ago or even

earlier than that. As for the exact time, she can’t say it accurately. But she surely has seen him.

When she gets to the mountain, she calls Troy, "The interrogation is over, right?"

"Well, it's over."

"Well? Any conclusion?"

He seems very busy, "I'll tell you about it tonight when I get back. There's something that I have to take

care of now."

"Oh, okay."

She hangs up the phone. And almost in a flash, she suddenly jumps up. She recalls it. She remembers

who that man is. A few years ago, at a banquet held by Emmanuel, she was kidnapped by someone

bizarre. By the time she woke up, she had been kidnapped to an unknown place. At that time, she wore

a blindfold and failed to see the appearance of those who had kidnapped her. However, in the middle of

the night, when she went to the toilet, she uncovered the blindfold and saw the real face of one of the

kidnappers through the doorway. That person is exactly the man she saw today. She remembers him

very clearly. At that time, his back was to the door. And the most conspicuous thing about him is the

hideous scars on his bald head.

As soon as Troy gets out of the car, Karin rushes over to ask him, "How is it? Did the police read the

diary?"

"Yes, they did. And they believed my statement."

"Does that mean that Jacob’s death has nothing to do with you?"

"It won't be that easy. They'll have to investigate it further to find out the truth."

The two of them enter the garden gate side by side. And while eating dinner, Karin says earnestly,

"Guess where I went today?"

He raises his eyes and asks blandly, "Didn't you read at home?"

"No, I was trying to read. I just couldn't focus on it. So I went to find Uncle Emmanuel."

Troy raises his eyebrows in surprise, "Why were you looking for Uncle Emmanuel?"

"I went there and asked him to help you. If he can’t even help you, I don't know who else in the Charlie

family can."

"Uncle Emmanuel has always been helping me. But things can’t be solved with ease. And it takes

some time."

When Karin hears him say this, she puts down the chopsticks in her hands and asks with a grave

expression, "Have you ever thought that the person who has been trying to harm you is your Uncle

Emmanuel?"

Troy, who is stunned, shakes his head, "No, anyone can harm me. But not him."

"Why wouldn't he be possible? Is it just because he was the one who treated you the best after you lost

your parents?"

"He was already good to me when I didn't lose my parents. And that kind of emotion doesn't arise in a

day or two. Instead, it has been maintained for more than ten years."

"But do you know who I saw today? I saw the kidnapper who had kidnapped me back then. He went to

Uncle Emmanuel's villa. Do you remember that when I was kidnapped, you shot and killed one of the

kidnappers with the other one who was guarding the door getting away with it? He is the one I saw

today. The reason why I still remember him after several years is that he is bald. And there is a striking

scar at the back of his head. I don’t want to link Uncle Emmanuel and the kidnapping case together.

But think about it carefully, besides him, who else could do so? Apart from him, who can benefit from a

snipe fight?"

Originally, Karin thought she had made it so clear that Troy surely would be convinced. However, Troy

says nothing and calmly chucks a piece of chickened wing into her bowl, "Eat it. The food is getting

cold."

Karin surely isn’t in the mood to eat anything. She grabs his arm worriedly, "Honey, you can't stop

suspecting certain people because you don't want to admit certain things in your heart..."
