Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 179

Karin is pissed off by his remorseless word and questions, “Don’t you know where he is? You ignored my beg as if you’ve disposed of him secretly.”

“Dispose of him secretly?’

Troy arches his brow as incredulity spreads across his face. “How could you regard me in that way? I’ll keep my promise to save him even if he’s the murderer who wanted to kill me.”

“So, what are you doing here? Why not go and save him?”

“Because my promise is to let go of him for once instead of his whole lifetime.”

He rises to his feet and steps toward the French windows, his hands in his suit pants pockets. “Besides, our wedding ceremony is around the corner, and I don’t want any distractions now.”

“If Jacob is still missing, I won’t marry you!”

“You…”

Karin is very annoyed. “You know I treat him as my brother, but you don’t care about him at all. Fine. I’ll turn to the police.”

“Nonsense!”

Troy bellows coldly and angrily grabs her shoulders. “Fine. I’ll help you search for him. For the record, I just find the trace of him.”

Karin nods. “Okay.”

At the moment, she just wants to know if Jacob is safe.

Waiting in upset and worry, she finally gets Troy’s call. He tells her Jacob now works for his former boss to take charge of the casino’s security.

She can’t believe what Troy says.

Rushing all the way to Troy’s office, she asks, “How do you get it?”

“None of your business. I can promise you what I say is truth.”

“Bullshit! Jacob once promised me that he’d never work for the mafia. He wants to come clean and live a decent life.”

“Which fools idiots like you.”

Troy levels her with an angry look.

“No, he really meant it. I can tell he didn’t lie. He must have been forced back to the hard life.

Karin frowns and drops herself down to the ground near Troy’s desk. Looking at her reaction, Troy knows her thoughts. “Don’t you ever imagine that I’d investigate the whole thing as I said I only found his trace for you.”

“Troy, please. You can’t walk away like this.”

“He must have put a spell on you since you can’t see the truth clearly. How much do you know him? Can’t you see he’s a liar? He’s accustomed to being a mafia hitman, and in no way will he fit in the nine-to-five life. You can’t decide for him as he’s chosen to be back.”

“Impossible.”

Remembering Jacob’s words with his innocent eyes, she confirms, “He’s back because he was caught by those bad guys. You have to bring him back.”

“Why?”

“He’s my brother.”

“Do you have any blood connections?”

Karin’s exasperated at his question. “But how to explain you regard Robert as your brother?”

“Robert’s loyal to me, but Jacob wanted to murder me. I might return evil for good, but never will me do it the other way.”

“What’s past is past. Jacob didn’t mean it. Why can’t you let it go?”

“I don’t. I’m just not engaged to save him.”

“Fine.”
