"So what are your plans now?"
"At present, I am collecting the evidence of Uncle Emmanuel’s murder. Several consecutive murders are all committed by him alone. But he did them quite neatly. It won’t be an easy thing to prove that he is guilty. No matter how difficult it is, I won’t give up. This is the best opportunity to take him down. After that, I will check on his financial account details. The reason why he has so much money to buy shares is that he has done some illegal things. Do you know why my eldest uncle suddenly died?"
Karin frowns, "It was to frame you."
"It isn’t the sole reason. The main reason is that my eldest uncle had a book of accounts that recorded all the illegal activities of my second uncle in recent years, including who did transactions, how much money was embezzled from the company, and which people were bribed. All were recorded clearly. Originally, he wanted to use the book of accounts to threaten my second uncle to help him take over Charlie Group. However, he didn’t expect that my second uncle wanted Charlie Group more than he did. So when my eldest uncle threatened him with the account book, he killed his biological brother without hesitation so as not to get his plans disrupted. And by the way, he did so to frame me, trying to kill two birds with one stone. Unfortunately. I was not as easy to be dealt with as he thought, which is the same as the fact that he isn’t as easy to be dealt with either."
"Where are the account books now?"
"It is destroyed."
"Did your second uncle destroy it?"
"Yeah."
Karin stomps her foot regretfully, "Emmanuel is not bad. He is indeed sinister and cunning. This is good. The account book is destroyed. And his nasty behavior will be completely covered up."
"That's not necessarily true."
"Is there another way?"
"He destroyed only the copy of the account books. My eldest uncle seemed to be unscheming. Even so, when it came to this matter, he was very cautious about it. He surely didn’t take the original to my second uncle. If he weren’t completely confident, he would leave a way out for himself."
Karin asks with hope, "Where is the original one? Is it in your hands?"
Troy shakes his head, "No, the whereabouts of the original account book is now unknown. I am looking for it. And my second uncle is also looking for it. It is another important piece of evidence that can destroy him. It is unknown who has it now."
"Could it be that your eldest uncle handed it to his son?"
"No, my eldest uncle wouldn’t be so stupid to leave that ledger to his son. After all, the account book has to be in the right place to play its role. In court, it may be evidence to expose a person's crime. However, outside the courtroom, it can make someone get into trouble. No way that Simon Charlie can take down my second uncle. So my eldest uncle surely couldn’t have put his son in a dangerous situation. "
"It is strange. Then who would Samuel give the account book to? Could it be your fourth uncle or your fifth uncle?"
“Hehe.” Troy sneers, "That would be even more impossible. Those two, who are easily swayed, have always changed their standpoints. At this moment, they probably have turned to my second uncle."
"Yes, it's true. At the shareholders’ meeting last time, if the two of them didn’t mess up, I would have expelled Emmanuel and William of the Charlie Group."
Karin is angry at the mention of this. And suddenly, she remembers something and asks, "By the way, you know that William is Emmanuel 's illegitimate son, right?"
"Yeah, I know."
"Then do you… know why Emmanuel hates your family so much?"
Troy nods his head again, "Yeah, I know it as well."
"Hey, it's so sinful. For a person who can hide his hatred for a decade, he is so scary."
Karin feels horrified at the thought of it. She grabs Troy's hand and says, "Honey, how about we'll give him the company. It's considered to make up for Father-in-law's fault back then. Let's find a place to live our lives in peace and quietness and never fight with him again, okay?"
Troy looks at the fear in her eyes due to lack of security and says heartily, "Do you think if you give him the company, he will let us go? He has been tormented by hatred for a decade. And his heart has been twisted. He won’t rest until my family is broken. And even if he is willing to let me go, now I won’t let him go. If we give up fighting with him because of our safety, how should we face those who died of aggrievance? How could the innocent die like that?"
Karin is speechless. She gloomily lowers her head, "Actually, I'm just saying. I know we won't be able to leave. And we can’t go."
Troy holds her into his arms, strokes her hair, and says, "Hold on a little longer. After getting over this most difficult period, no one can separate us in the future."
"Well..."
She nods heavily. At this time, Troy's cell phone rings. He presses the answer button and briefly says a few words. Although it is a brief conversation, Karin can tell that it is Molly who is calling him.
After Troy hangs up the phone, she asks urgently, "What's wrong with Molly? Doesn't she know that you're pretending to have amnesia?"
"She knows."
"How come?" She is surprised by this answer, "She knows you don't indeed have amnesia. Is she acting along with you?"
"Yes."
She is even more shocked. And all of a sudden, she has mixed and various emotions in her heart, feeling emotionally complicated.
