Chapter 179
\nCapture Your Heart novel Chapter 179<\/p>\n
Karin is pissed off by his remorseless word and questions, \u201cDon\u2019t you know where he is? You ignored my beg as if you\u2019ve disposed of him secretly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDispose of him secretly?\u2019<\/p>\n
Troy arches his brow as incredulity spreads across his face. \u201cHow could you regard me in that way? I\u2019ll keep my promise to save him even if he\u2019s the murderer who wanted to kill me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, what are you doing here? Why not go and save him?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause my promise is to let go of him for once instead of his whole lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n
He rises to his feet and steps toward the French windows, his hands in his suit pants pockets. \u201cBesides, our wedding ceremony is around the corner, and I don\u2019t want any distractions now.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Jacob is still missing, I won\u2019t marry you!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Karin is very annoyed. \u201cYou know I treat him as my brother, but you don\u2019t care about him at all. Fine. I\u2019ll turn to the police.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNonsense!\u201d<\/p>\n
Troy bellows coldly and angrily grabs her shoulders. \u201cFine. I\u2019ll help you search for him. For the record, I just find the trace of him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Karin nods. \u201cOkay.\u201d<\/p>\n
At the moment, she just wants to know if Jacob is safe.<\/p>\n
Waiting in upset and worry, she finally gets Troy\u2019s call. He tells her Jacob now works for his former boss to take charge of the casino\u2019s security.<\/p>\n
She can\u2019t believe what Troy says.<\/p>\n
Rushing all the way to Troy\u2019s office, she asks, \u201cHow do you get it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNone of your business. I can promise you what I say is truth.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBullshit! Jacob once promised me that he\u2019d never work for the mafia. He wants to come clean and live a decent life.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhich fools idiots like you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Troy levels her with an angry look.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, he really meant it. I can tell he didn\u2019t lie. He must have been forced back to the hard life.<\/p>\n
Karin frowns and drops herself down to the ground near Troy\u2019s desk. Looking at her reaction, Troy knows her thoughts. \u201cDon\u2019t you ever imagine that I\u2019d investigate the whole thing as I said I only found his trace for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTroy, please. You can\u2019t walk away like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe must have put a spell on you since you can\u2019t see the truth clearly. How much do you know him? Can\u2019t you see he\u2019s a liar? He\u2019s accustomed to being a mafia hitman, and in no way will he fit in the nine-to-five life. You can\u2019t decide for him as he\u2019s chosen to be back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cImpossible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Remembering Jacob\u2019s words with his innocent eyes, she confirms, \u201cHe\u2019s back because he was caught by those bad guys. You have to bring him back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s my brother.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you have any blood connections?\u201d<\/p>\n
Karin\u2019s exasperated at his question. \u201cBut how to explain you regard Robert as your brother?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRobert\u2019s loyal to me, but Jacob wanted to murder me. I might return evil for good, but never will me do it the other way.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s past is past. Jacob didn\u2019t mean it. Why can\u2019t you let it go?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t. I\u2019m just not engaged to save him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFine.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSeeing is believing. I have to ask him why he does it again.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut how can you get in there? It\u2019s said the mafia casinos are hard to get in.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why I come here to ask for your help.\u201d<\/p>\n
Billie steps backward. \u201cWhat do you want?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember you said that your landlady was addicted to gamble. She must know all the casinos around. You tell her I\u2019m a gambler and asks her to bring me with her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you sure you want to do this?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if Troy doesn\u2019t agree?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t tell him my plan, since he doesn\u2019t want to help me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t have to take a risk for a stranger.\u201d<\/p>\n
Karin\u2019s unhappy. \u201cBillie, why do you think of him the way as Troy does? I believe he\u2019s innocent as I regard him as my brother.\u201d<\/p>\n
Billie knows that Karin has made up her mind. \u201cOkay. I\u2019ll have a try and tell my landlady.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThank\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSave it. I\u2019m at the risk of being killed by Troy. Listen. Come back as soon as possible after meeting Jacob.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRelax. I can take care of myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if you can\u2019t find him?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhich proves that Troy has lied to me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2718","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
