Her face looks like only slightly larger than a hand and has the classical beauty. She’s just like a person
walking down from the most standard beauties cartoon. Her big eyes are different from the big eyes of
ordinary beauties. Her eyes are bright. It seems that there are some emotions in her eyes, as if her
eyes are silently saying something all the time. She has a straight nose. She has both the beauty of
women and the heroism of men. Her lips are slightly thin and soft, which are a kind of almost
transparent ruby red, as if her lips can make people obsessed by just looking at first sight. Her long
black hair is so soft and is hanging on her shoulders...
She’s just standing there. Any man seeing this will describe her like this, "Drop-dead gorgeous!"
Karin has been listening to the phone with her head down. After the phone is hung up, she raises her
head and suddenly sees a man standing in front of her. She steps back in fright. The first thought she
thinks about is "Could it be that he is another one to kidnap me again?"
"What do you want to do?" She asks tremblingly.
"Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. I just finished a phone call here."
Seeing that he’s dressed luxuriously and indeed unlike those who kidnapped her last time, she heaves
a sigh of relief and turns around to enter the hall.
"Miss, please wait a minute."
Seeing her turning around to leave, the man hurries to catch up and calls her to stop.
"Is there anything else?"
"May I have your name?"
She frowns slightly, "Why should I tell you my name?"
After saying it in a very rude attitude, she runs back to the living room.
Stanley stands there for a moment. It’s the first time that a woman who doesn’t buy it. He’s about to
follow up to ask her. He suddenly realizes that this is a family banquet of the Charles family. All people
here are those who have a relationship with the Charles family. Is that beautiful woman the new
girlfriend of Troy?
Why is he certain that the beautiful woman is Troy’s new girlfriend? Because at the family banquets in
the past few years, he must have not seen her.
After entering the living room, Karin quickly finds Troy. She holds his arm and dares not run around.
She glances at the crowd at random, then she sees the eldest sister of Troy, Milan. She’s shocked and
whispers to Troy, "Troie, Milan is here."
"I know."
"When did she come? Why didn't I see her come in?"
"Just when you went to the bathroom."
"Well." No wonder!
If it were Arya, she might go over and say hello to her. But if it's Milan, then forget it! She doesn't want
to make trouble for herself.
However, she doesn't go to greet Milan. Milan seems to come over. Watching Milan walking towards
her step by step, her arm on Troy's arm is trembling, and her heart begins to jump irregularly.
"Troie, I'm going to the lavatory."
If she doesn’t want Milan to make things difficult for her, she can hide. Escaping is the best strategy.
"Why are you going there again?"
Troy asks with a frown, but she doesn't have time to answer. Before Milan comes to her, she has to run
away.
"Brother, why don't you bring Mia here?"
Milan asks dissatisfiedly.
"I have a companion."
"But in previous years, you always brought Mia to take part in the party."
"It’s history. Now is different from the past."
"She has no legs now. How sad will she be if you don't bring her over?"
"It's because she had no legs. Are you sure she won't be sadder when she comes to such an
occasion?!"
His rhetorical question makes Milan speechless. Because she’s also not sure whether Mia will be
frustrated by watching others wearing beautiful clothes and shoes while she’s sitting in a wheelchair.
"Where is Stanley?"
"Why are you looking for him?"
"There is something I want to ask him."
"I'm going to find him."
Milan turns around and goes into the crowd.
Karin doesn't go to the bathroom at all. She just hides in the corner. After watching Milan leave, she
dares to return to Troy’s side
"It's all right so soon?" He asks.
"Well, I just washed my hands."
He pokes her forehead with his finger, "My elder sister comes, so you ran away on purpose?"
She shrugs with smiling awkwardly, but she doesn’t deny it.
"Your hair hanging on the shoulder is actually better than tying up."
Troy gently combs her long hair with his hands. His fingers pass through the hair, making him feel
comfortable.
"Brother, you are looking for me?"
A strange man's voice comes from the front. The two people who have been looking at each other turn
around at the same time. Troy's expression is indifferent, but Karin’s surprised.
"It's you?"
Karin’s eyes widen in surprise. Isn't this the person who asked her name outside?
The man is obviously also surprised, even more surprised than her. He swallows hard and says after a
while, "This is your new girlfriend?"
"Why do you know each other?"
Milan asks jealously.
"No, no. I don’t know him."
Karin waves her hand hurriedly. If Miss Milan knows that her husband was asking her name outside
just now, it will be a big trouble.
"Why do you look surprised if you don't know him?"
"I was answering the phone outside just now, and I happened to meet her to answer the phone there
too, so I greeted her, but we didn't know each other."
"That’s it?" Milan has some suspiciousness.
"Yes." Karin nods.
Compared with Milan's suspiciousness, Troy is much calmer. He points to the man opposite and
introduces, "Karin, this is my brother-in-law, Stanley."
Then he points to Karin and introduces, "This is my girlfriend, Karin."
"Hello, Miss Karin, nice to meet you."
Stanley stretches out his hand and looks at her with a smile.
Karin shakes hands with him reluctantly. She hurriedly breaks her hand free from his hand when he
deliberately holds her hand tightly.
"Karin, go talk to Lily and the others. I have something to talk to my brother-in-law."
"Okay."
She nods obediently. With her head down, she’s walking towards Lily.
As soon as she leaves, Milan also goes away, leaving only two men.
"Brother, you’re awesome. Mia is pretty enough. I didn't expect to you have the other such a pure and
beautiful girlfriend now."
Stanley stares at Karin's back with scorching gaze. His expression can’t hide his obsession.
" I’m far worse than you."
Troy's expression turns cold. He asks unhappily, "I heard that you have dated with another woman
recently?"
"It's normal for a man to have women. I have so many women. Your sister also knows this."
Stanley doesn't feel guilty at all, as if having an affair is a natural thing to him.
"I warn you the last time. Don't do anything that hurts my sister again. Otherwise, don't blame me for
being rude."
"Brother, are you threatening me or warning me? I have been like this all the time. Your sister doesn't
care about it. Why should you be so serious? When I married your sister at the time, I told her very
clearly that I couldn’t be the kind of man who only loves one woman all his life, but she still chose to
marry me. I had no choice. We’re men. You dare to say that you are a dedicated man? If you are, why
do you bring Karin here? Last year, it was Mia by your side, right?"
"Do you think I and you are the same kind of persons?"
"Heh, everyone knows you’re a playboy in the past. We are almost the same."
"I don't want to talk with you."
Troy turns his head away coldly. He turns his gaze to Karin, and walks towards her.
"Do you really fall in love with her?"
Stanley asks him in disbelief.
Troy turns his head and smiles sarcastically, "To talk with someone who can only play with women’s
emotions, I might as well talk to a brick wall."
Stanley frowns. He’s a little annoyed and disappointed. He doesn’t expect that the woman he sees
tonight turns out to be Troy's new girlfriend. This matter is a bit tricky.
After all, Troy is not an ordinary person. He doesn’t dare to touch Troy’s woman easily.
"What are you doing? Seeing a beautiful woman makes you lose your mind?"
Milan walks to her husband with a cocktail, her eyes full of resentment.
"Nonsense."
Stanley glares at her, and pretends to say casually, "But I'm quite confused. Didn't you say that your
brother is going to marry Mia? Why does he suddenly change girlfriend?"
"Hmph, I don't know how many times I said this at home. Have you forgotten?"
"I didn't care at the time."
Milan sneers at herself, "You didn't care about it at the time? You never care about what I said, didn’t
you?"
"You just love to make trouble."
Stanley turns away angrily, and stops talking to her.
The banquet officially begins. All the members of Charles family sit together. Looking at some familiar
faces and some unfamiliar faces, Karin's two hands under the table are twisted together nervously.
Seeing her nervousness, the man beside her thoughtfully reaches out to pat her shoulder. Suddenly,
she becomes calm.
