Chapter 296 Ending of the Story 11

William feels that he is in great pain in his heart. Never has he been in such great pain. Between Troy
and his father, he can only choose one. Once he saves Troy, it is the same as killing his father with his
own hands. However, if he doesn’t save Troy, he can only watch his beloved woman die in front of his
eyes. When affection and love confront each other, William feels that he faces a difficult choice...

In front of love, they are all poor. Because of the ruthlessness of fate, they have to experience the trials
and tribulations that ordinary people can’t bear. In that case, how painful Troy, Karin, and even him
should be.

"Get up."

With tears seeping out of his eyes, William slowly helps Karin up.

Then, he makes the hardest choice of his life. And he rushes to the other side of the fire and takes out
a key to unlock Troy's handcuffs.

In the fire, Karin and Troy run to each other, hug each other tightly, and cry brokenheartedly. Only when
they are suffering can they see how sincere they love each other. And for this true love, it will be like a
blood-red brand burned at the tip of their hearts even after years. Never will it fade...

William looks at the two of them sadly and reminds them powerlessly, "Leave now. Otherwise, you can’t
leave even if you want to."

Three of them escape from the back door of the processing factory. Standing amid the profound
darkness outside where they can’t even see their fingers clearly, William points ahead and says
numbly, "There is a forest two hundred meters ahead. And my car is parked there."

Troy turns around and gazes at the house which starts to collapse as his eyes are dense with bone-
chilling coldness.



He turns around, takes Karin's hand, and leaves the place where he is almost buried step by step.

It is okay if he is dead. However, since he isn’t dead, the ones who originally should die and end up
being alive have to die.

When they reach the grove, William hands the car key to Troy, "Leave with her first."

Troy slowly takes the key over and says expressionlessly, "for your saving favor, I, Troy, won’t forge it.
However, I won’t trade a life for another life. I won’t let your father go because of this."

"I know."

William nods blankly as he turns to look at Karin, "Can I talk to you alone for a few minutes?"

"Okay."

As Karin follows him further into the trees, William speaks sadly, "It seems no one can change Troy's
hatred for my father, right?"

"Yes."

"No, If it were someone else, he/she probably can’t change it. However, if it were you, the result would
be different."

Karin, who is stunned, says gloomily, "Troy and I are very grateful to you for the fact that you saved our
lives. However, there is indeed no way to forgive the damage your father has done to us. I'm sorry..."

"Let's make a deal."

"What kind of deal is it?"



"I know that Troy has been looking for the account book which can expose my father's crime. That
account book is in my hands. I can give it to you. The only requirement is that you persuade him to let
my father go."

Karin opens her eyes wide in surprise, "Why do you want to do so? You just need to destroy that
account book. And no one can ever find it."

"It's useless. Troy has evidence of my father's murder. if he refuses to stop it, my father can hardly
escape the fate of death."

After a short struggle and silence, Karin thinks of how William has sacrificed for her over the years.
Then she nods, "Okay, I'll try."

"Then, please. I will find a time and give you the account book tomorrow."

William finishes his words and leaves in a disheveled manner. Karin felt inexplicably in her heart, She
questions out loud, "Why did you betray your father?"

He stops his pace, turns around, and answers clearly, "Because of you. When a man makes a change
for you, it proves that you are unmatched in his heart."

Karin cries and lowers her head with tears falling. William walks back, stands in front of her, reaches
out to wipe away the tears on her cheeks. Then he chokes and says, "I can't bear to watch you being
pushed to the edge. To like someone, it won’t need many reasons. Feelings explain everything. I feel
distressed for you starting from the beginning."

He finishes his words and once again turns around to leave. Karin stares at his despondent back and
says in her heart, "Thank you..."



After Karin rejoins Troy, Troy doesn’t ask her anything. Instead, he pulls open the car door for her to sit
in, fastens the seat belt for her, and starts the engine before driving the car out of the grove.

Halfway through the journey, he sees that she has been shedding tears and heartily holds her hands,
saying, "Everything is over. And never will I make you suffer so much again."

"Let's not take revenge, okay?"

Troy's body stiffens. And he stops the car at the roadside, "What did you say?"

"Let’s end it here. Taking revenge because of injustice won’t ever come to an end. Because I don’t want
to see the story about bloodshed and tears again. I am indeed so tired..."

Originally, Troy didn’t want to ask her any questions. However, hearing her suddenly say so, he can’t
help but ask, "Did William say something to you?"

"Yes, he said he wanted to give us the account book proving Emmanuel's crimes. And he only begged
us to spare his father."

Karin repeats William's words to Troy. After finishing her words, she adds, "Emmanuel is certainly
discreet. But it is indeed not easy for William to make such a choice. The fact that he betrayed his
father has made him suffer. How can we stab him in his heart again?"

Troy doesn’t say a word. And the expression on his face is as grave as ever. He seems to be lost in
thoughts.

"Have you ever thought that now it's Emmanuel who won't let us go rather than we won't let him go?"

"Didn't you have got the evidence of his murder? According to William, as long as you don't submit that
evidence to the police, he will find a way to take his father away. And never will they return to Zurich
again."



"Do you trust him a lot?"

Karin struggles to explain, "Don't be angry. I..."

"I understand."

Troy interrupts her, kisses her forehead, and says, "For a man who is willing to sacrifice his life to love
my woman, I can't be more grateful to him. How can I be angry? Okay, I promise you."

The next day at noon, William calls to meet Karin. And he chooses a very hidden location. At noon, the
door of the box is pushed open. After that, he opens his eyes wide in surprise with a stunned look on
his face, asking, "How is it you?"

Troy sits down casually and says half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Did I let you down?"

"It’s not like that."

William pours a cup of tea for him, "I just didn't expect Karin to dissolve the hate in your heart so
quickly."

"How do you know I don't hate your father in my heart any more? Don't the acts your father did to me
deserve my hatred?"

"Any one of the things my father did to you can be a reason for you to hate him. it is just that the fact
that you appear here proves that you have given up hating him, right?"

Troy gazes at him meaningfully for a moment and says regretfully, "If you weren't Emmanuel’s son, I
think we probably will become friends. Unfortunately, fate will have it. And you are his son. In that case,
we are destined not to become brothers, let alone being friends."

"I know."



William smiles bitterly, takes out an account book from the briefcase beside him, and slowly pushes it
to the front of Troy, "Let's get down to the business."

Troy picks up the account book and flips through it, asking incomprehensibly, "Why do you want to
destroy your father with your own hands?"

"Last night, your wife asked me the same question. My answer at the time was that I didn’t want to see
her get injured again. This is not all. There is another reason, that is, I don’t want to see my father
continue to expand his desire. Once someone has ambition, his desire will be like a bottomless pit. To
fill that hole, he won’t care how many people will get hurt. "

"Although it is a little late for you to realize your mistakes, it is a comforting thing to see that you have
been enlightened."

Troy closes the account book, "Speaking of the reason why I gave up revenge it is not all because of
my wife's persuasion. Emmanuel has been treating me as if I were his biological son ever since my
childhood. And he has taught me a lot of things. To me, he has always been like a father. Although his
feelings for me are false, I want to give him a way out."

William nods gratefully, "Thank you."

"If you put this account book in my hands a day earlier, your father would be brought to justice now. For
the evidence of his murder, I have mastered them all. Originally, I wanted to wait and get the account
book so that he can’t ever rise again. However, I didn’t expect him to suddenly kidnap my wife.
Fortunately, we are alive. Otherwise, we wouldn’t die in peace."

"I have known early that you are pretending to have amnesia. So I have been secretly investigating it.
And it isn’t until yesterday morning that I got the account book in my hands. If my father didn’t go to the
step of killing you both, I originally planned to destroy it."



As the saying goes, the evil ones can’t suppress the righteous ones. And for everything a human being
does, God is throughout the process. One day, the time for retribution will come in the end.

When the time comes, the accomplices of the evil ones will be on the side of the righteous ones as
well.
