Returning to the private room, Imogen was carefully cutting steak for Grace.
She had her head down, focused and attentive, with smooth contour lines on her profile. The sunlight streamed through the window, casting a translucent glow on her white skin. Troy’s restless heart became calm.
After cutting the steak into pieces, Imogen placed them into Grace’s plate. When she looked she saw Troy staring at her intently, seeming in thought.
Casually picking up a piece of meat, Imogen asked, “What are you looking at?”
“Nothing.” Troy averted his gaze.
He said with a burning gaze, “Imogen, you…”
up,
Yet, he stopped midway and pressed his lips and said in an alternative way, “Leo’s case has been handed over to the Office of Attorney General. What do you think?”
Imogen paused and lowered her gaze. She said, “I don’t have any thoughts. We’ll wait for the verdict.“–
“Can you… give me some time…”
“What?” Imogen raised her eyebrows.
“Don’t distance yourself from me because of Leo.”
Troy hoped that she could give him some time. He would find a way to prove that what Leo said was true and that Sarah was the mastermind behind her father’s death.
Imogen lowered her
gaze.
She thought, “Do I give him time for him to clear Leo’s name? Does he really believe everything Leo says without any doubt?
What reason do Jeff and the police have to unfairly accuse Leo?
Especially Jeff, who’s at risk himself and facing a heavy sentence. It will be in his best interest to cooperate with the police and tell the truth in order to receive a lighter punishment. If I were in Jeff’s shoes, would I do the same?
Can I still trust Troy?”
Seeing her silence, Troy took it as her consent.
A few days later, when Troy was at work, Lane mentioned that Imogen seemed to be selling cars recently.
She had two luxury cars, and they could fetch a good price.
Troy thought, “Is Imogen short of money?”
Troy was puzzled for a moment, but he instructed Lane to keep an eye on her.
A few days later, while reading the newspaper, Troy came across a news article: [Imogen donates 200 million dollars to establish the Hope Foundation, bringing love to children in poverty.]
In that instant, Troy’s hands clenched tightly, making the newspaper crumple into a ball of waste
paper.
Troy didn’t understand where Imogen got so much money.
But with just a little thought, Troy knew that the 200 million dollars came from the assets he gave

her during the divorce and the inheritance from Henry. He thought, “Is this the purpose of her selling the cars?
She has donated everything Grandpa and I had given her?”
If this had happened before, Troy wouldn’t mind Imogen doing charity work. But it happened after Leo’s case was handed over to the Office of Attorney General…
Emily’s words inexplicably echoed in his mind, “The enmity of patricide is irreconcilable. How could she not bear a grudge? You’re the only one who’s dreaming if you think she would be with you!”
He suspected that Imogen wanted to sever ties with the Marshall family and with him.
Troy’s fingers tightened, the joints making a creaking sound. His teeth clenched, and his face was filled with a strong resentment.
Imogen had been extremely busy lately.
In addition to filming, she had more photography appointments. Some industry insiders recognized her talent, while others simply saw her as a source of publicity. She also had to handle the establishment of her foundation and deal with her assets.
After news of the foundation spread, many people wanted to be involved and get a share of the pie.
In short, she was incredibly busy.
She didn’t finish her social engagements until eleven o’clock at night.
Exhausted, Imogen walked out of the elevator. Her footsteps suddenly paused when she saw Troy. She smiled and said, “Why are you here?”
Troy stood tall and couldn’t help but sneer, “Of course, I came to see Ms. Forbes. Is Ms. Forbes too busy with important matters to see your hopeless ex–husband?” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Imogen smiled, “I’ve been busy recently. If you don’t…”
“Busy setting up your foundation?” Troy interrupted her and asked word by word.
“Yeah.” Imogen nodded calmly as if she didn’t see the sulk on his face.
Troy stepped forward, getting closer, and asked in a low voice, “Are you trying to draw a clear line with me and the Marshall family?”
