Originally, Billie is depressed and hopeless. And how Gigi teased her infertility irritates her so much she can’t wait to kill someones. It is probably because of the determination and fierceness showing up in her eyes that Gigi is instantly intimidated.
"Psycho. I will spare you once today. Next time, you won't be so lucky."
After Gigi finishes her words, she walks out the door of the mall without looking back. And the expensive clothes thrown on the ground are all abandoned, reflecting the essence of the rich to the fullest.
In the conference room of the Charlie Group, a group of shareholders is staring at Troy who is sitting in the chief seat as if they were wolves.
One of the shareholders sitting closest to Troy asks with a cold face, "The company's stock price goes on to fall. Some important partners have also terminated their contracts with us. For such a situation now, Mr. Troy, how exactly do you want to explain to us?"
"I already have a solution. Please don't worry. Give me another week, I promise to turn the situation around."
"Last time, you also guaranteed like this. And it turns out there isn’t any improvement at all. How can we believe you?"
"The situation won’t change even if you don't believe me. And there is still hope for it to change if you believe me. In that case, why don't you choose to believe me?"
The shareholders look at each other. And one of them says, "We want to believe you too. But the key is that we can't afford to have any further delay. How much money do we have to lose if we delay it for one day?"
"If that's the case, I won't force you all. Those who are willing to support me will stay. Those who aren’t willing to support me can leave now. But I want to remind you first that I am only in a temporary dilemma now. And one day, I will turn the tide. At that time, I will remember your choice. I won’t forgive those who abandon me in the face of great difficulties. Likewise, for those who support me in my most difficult time, I will have to reward them."
A few powerful words of his completely startle the shareholders, making them whisper. After some discussion, no one gets up to leave. All choose to believe him.
"Thank you all for your support. I, Troy, hereby swear to live up to your expectations. Wait for my good news."
When the meeting ends, Robert follows behind Troy and confirms, "Mr. Troy, do we indeed have to go there tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"There shouldn't be much hope, right? It's been more than ten years since we've talked to each other."
"Even if there is one percent hope, we can't give it up. This is the only leverage we have to solve the company's problems at the moment."
"Okay, then I'll go book a flight."
"Don't book a plane ticket, we'll take a cruise so that we won’t be found with ease."
"Got it."
By the time Troy goes back to Ziteng Garden, it is nine o'clock at night. Karin waits for him as usual. Every time she says she won't wait for him, she goes back on her words every time. For her disobedience, Troy can’t do anything to her.
"Are you back?"
Karin is very happy to see him. She goes forward to take off his jacket for him. While taking it off, she says, "It's true that without my aesthetic match, this item of clothes can't make you look like someone with aesthetic taste."
"So I haven't had any aesthetic taste in the past, right?"
"Yes, did you just know that?"
"So your appearance is what makes me realize that people should live to have an aesthetic taste."
“Oh.” Karin laughs roughly, "Have you eaten dinner yet?"
"No, I guess you would wait for me. So I didn’t eat anything and came back to eat with you."
"Great, then let's eat."
When the two of them sit down at the table, Troy says to her solemnly, "Karin, I have to leave Zurich tomorrow for a few days."
She looks up suddenly, "For a business trip?"
"No, I'm going to Macau to meet someone."
"Macau? Your ancestral home? You don't have any friends or relatives there, do you?"
"A friend. But he isn’t my friend but a friend of my father's."
"What are you meeting your father's friend for?" Karin blinks in confusion.
