    "It seems you''ve prepared these lines long ago."

    Troy hits the nail on the head. And she denies it, "I don''t understand what you''re talking about."


    She indeed has figured out these lines three days ago, knowing that Troy surely will ask her so.


    "If I want to know the answer, the way you see it, will I be kept in the dark even if you don''t say it?"


    She sneers, "Didn''t you say you weren''t interested in who the child''s father was at all? Did I hear you


    wrong? Or are you too fickle?"


    "I wasn''t interested in it before. But now, I''m suddenly interested in it again."


    "Even if you are interested, it won''t have anything to do with you. The child is not yours."


    Troy presses closer to her, looks at her straight into her eyes, and says word for word, "Are you sure?"


    "Yes, I''m sure."


    "Good. I surely will figure it out. The content of the email William sent to you five years ago is still fresh


    in my mind. If that child isn''t his, I will settle all the old and new scores with him together. I will make


    him suffer because of what he said!"


    After Troy finishes his words, he doesn''t enter the elevator. Instead, he walks towards the outside of the


    apartment. Then Karin roars in anger, "Why did you target William first?"


    "Because he''s the one who ruined it all."


    Seeing that his figure fades away, Karin leans against the elevator weakly, muttering, "He isn''t the only


    one that ruined everything. You also had a part in it. If you had been eager to know the truth back then


    as you were now, how could we havee to this point?"


    Troy has always meant his words. So after he says such harsh words, Karin surely has to live every


    day in fear as if she were walking on thin ice.


    She is afraid that something will happen to William or hispany. Because as long as something


    happens, it will mean that Troy has known the truth.


    Time passes by day by day as Karin is living in apprehension. She doesn''t see Troy in thetter half


    month. If it weren''t for the fact that she would asionally see his car parked outside, she would have


    thought he had gone back to Zurich.


    The thing that Karin is worried about the most happens in the end. One day, at lunchtime in the


    canteen, she hears the staff of the nning Department at the next table talking about their general


    manager. Because they talk in such low voices that Karin can''t hear them. Even so, she knows what


    they were talking about is rted to William.


    So she pretends to sit down casually and asks, "Based on your conversation just now, what happened


    to the General Manager?"


    "I heard that he had been beaten up by someone from the underground world..."


    "Someone from the underground world?" Karin feels that her brain booms and that she can''t hear what


    they said to herter.


    After walking out of the canteen in a muddled state, she immediately takes out her cell phone to dial


    William''s number, only to be prompted that his cell phone had been turned off. In an instant, she is so


    worried that she isn''t in the mood to work anymore. So she picks up her bag, runs out of thepany,


    and goes to William''s residence.


    William lives alone. She rings the doorbell for a long time before a maid opens the door. Then the maid


    asks politely, "Who are you looking for?"


    "May I ask if William is here?" Seeing the maid''s bewildered look on her face, she immediately changes


    her tone, "Is Caleb living here?"


    "How are you connected to Mr. Caleb?"


    "I''m his employee. I heard he was injured and came here to see him."


    Karin knows that William lived here. But she has never been here. So the housemaid naturally treats


    her as a stranger.


    "Mr. Caleb is not at home. He is still in the hospital."


    "Which hospital is he in?"


    "the People''s Hospital."


    "Okay, thanks..."


    She rushes to the People''s Hospital. The moment when she sees William, she feels that the feeling in


    her heart is beyond words. William has been seriously injured with multiple fractures and bandages


    wrapped all over his head, which reminds Karin of Jacob back then. Then her eyes are immediately


    moistened...


    "I''m not dead yet. Would it be too early for you to cry now?"


    William opens his eyes and sees Karin. Then a look of surprise and amazement shows in his eyes.


    "How did you offend someone from the underground world?"


    Although Karin knows the reason in her heart, she still unconsciously blurts out such a question, hoping


    that it is just a misunderstanding rather than the way she thinks in her heart.


    "I would also like to know the reason why..."


    William moves his body in depression and furrows his eyebrows tightly because of the pain.


    "How do you know?"


    "I heard it from the conversation of the colleagues during lunch."


    He smiles bitterly, "It''s true that bad news has wings..."


    "Did you call the police?"


    "Forget it. Although we are living in a society governed by thew, the ones from the underground


    world here are more rampant than those in any other ce. As the saying goes, the more dangerous a


    ce is, the safer it will be, those people know it better than the ones working for the government."


    "Then did you just admit you are unlucky? Aren''t you afraid that they wille to you again in the


    future?"


    William looks at her meaningfully and asks expectantly, "Can I interpret your words as that you care


    about me a lot?"


    Karin is speechless, wondering what she could say. After all, she knows that all of this surely has


    something to do with Troy.


    She gets up after chatting with William for a while. Then she leaves the hospital. Walking on the lively


    street, she feels like walking at the crossroads of her life. And she is confused as to which direction to


    choose. Moreover, she is eager to find Troy and ask him if he was responsible for William''s incident.


    However, even though she has such a thought in her heart, it doesn''t mean she will carry it out. Over


    the five years, time has transformed her fundamentally and yet cruelly. She is no longer as impulsive as


    she used to be. She has learned to be patient. She has learned to wait and see what will happen


    quietly. And never will she mess herself up unless it is thest resort.


    After another week, William has been discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home. As Karin,


    who has been anxious all the time, is temporarily relieved, another ident happens.


    This time, it is Hankseuk that is the target.


    As the new clothes designed six months ago are being put into the production line, another clothing


    company, which is one step ahead of them, puts their clothes on sale, whose texture and style are both


    the same as the clothes they designed, putting thepany suddenly into unprecedented chaos. It


    means that all the clothes produced in their factory will be scraps. And none of the clothes can be


    put on sale. Otherwise, Hankseuk would be judged to copy the design of anotherpany.


    When William, who hasn''t recovered, struggles to go to thepany to hold an emergency meeting for


    countermeasures discussions, Karin is full of guilt in her heart. She is just like this. Even if everyone in


    the world is hostile to her, she can''t do the same to them.


    That night, she has been hesitant for a long time. Then she goes up to the ninth floor and knocks on


    the door of Troy''s room.


    The door opens. And a strong smell of alcohol overwhelms her. She collects herself and says, "If you''re


    not conscious now, then I''lle to you another day."


    As soon as she turns around, her arm is pulled by the man in the room. And she hears his maic


    voice, "I''m not drunk."


    With a little force, Troy pulls her into the room and then closes the door.


    "If youe to me for the sake of William, I will never spare you."


    He circles her against the door in his both arms. With a profound and burning look in his eyes, he looks


    at her.


    "Unfortunately, I came here exactly for his sake."


    "What are you doing here? To beg for mercy? To atone for your sins?"


    "Let''s settle this feud between the two of us and stop hurting innocent people."


    "Is he innocent?" Troy suddenly roars, "Except for that child, no one is innocent, including me!"


    "Then what exactly do you want? Even if you beat up William, why did you leak out the design of our


    company''s clothes, making everyone''s hard work over half a year all go to waste?


    "If William can''t even solve this trivial matter, then he doesn''t deserve to be an executive of a


    company."


    "Then please tell me, what is your reason for doing this?"


    What Karin is truly concerned about is whether Troy has already ascertained something.


    "The reason is simple. William is by your side all day long, which makes me very unhappy."


    "Is that all?"


    "You want to know if I''ve checked out on that child? Let me tell you frankly, my dealing with William is a


    way for me to check on the child. If that child has something to do with him, you surely wille to me


    for his sake. I am so disappointed. Indeed, you are here..."


    Karin doesn''t correct him as she says, "Then how can you let him go?"


    Troy smiles sarcastically. And the look in his eyes suddenly bes so profound and inscrutable that


    she can''t guess his mind at all.


    He approaches her step by step. And when her mind briefly goes nk, she sees him bend down.


    Then she hears him whisper in her ears, "If you want me to let him go, you have to stay with me


    tonight..."
