Chapter 265 Believe You
Seeing Imogen’s silence, Sarah laughed triumphantly.
Even if Imogen went to question Troy and Troy exposed the photos and her identity, she would only humiliate herself and never be able to face Troy ever again.
Sarah continued to say, “Don’t you get it? The person Troy likes is me! If you hadn’t insisted on clinging to Troy and separated me from him, would Sir Marshall have died? You’re just someone who can only bring disasters wherever you go!”
“Shut up!”
Imogen’s face turned pale, and her eyes were bloodshot. “Do you think I can be fooled by you? No matter how my relationship with Troy is, you can’t take it as a reason to shock grandpa. Don’t ever think about slandering me!”
Sarah was using the same trick as Charlene. Imogen would not be deceived.
She was not someone who brought disasters!
She was not!
“I won’t keep my mouth shut!” Sarah sneered. “You’re a disaster and a plague! Sir Marshall died because of you! You’re a whore! Even if you keep clinging to Troy, he will never like you!” With a snort, she strode.
away.
Watching Sarah’s leaving figure, Imogen stood still and sneered.
When Imogen returned to the private room, some of her favorite dishes had been placed on the plate in front of her.
Troy put down his fork and looked up. “You’re back.”
“Yes.” Imogen sat down and lowered her eyes. She suddenly called, “Troy.”
“Yes?” Troy noticed she was in a bad mood and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I just met Sarah, and she was with Kenny.
“She brought it upon herself.
“But I remember you said that you placed Sarah at Villard Hospital. Why did she come out?” Imogen raised her eyes and looked at Troy expressionlessly.
She knew that Henry’s health was deteriorating, and she had long prepared herself that he would leave one day.
But what she wished was for Henry to grow old naturally. Nothing could be done about it, and it was irreversible and sad, but not something regretful.
Henry shouldn’t be angered to death by Sarah for no apparent reason!
Henry had been a legend all his life, but in the end, he was angered to death by a woman with ulterior motives. Imogen couldn’t accept it no matter what!
Troy panicked for a moment and asked, “What did she say to you?”
Did Sarah tell her about her identity and the photos?
“I’m asking you right now!” Imogen suddenly raised her voice and stared at Troy. “That’s your grandfather! Do you like Sarah so much that you can even let your grandfather’s murderer go easily?”
“Imogen, I’ve told you I don’t like Sarah…”
“You are still lying to me!” Imogen looked at him coldly.
Troy liked Sarah, but Sarah had killed his grandpa. He couldn’t get over this hurdle, so he didn’t want to be with Sarah, but he still couldn’t bear to let Sarah receive any punishment.
If Troy knew Sarah was being raped, he might get soft–hearted and pamper her again.
Imogen truly didn’t expect that Troy was still lying to her after they had divorced for so long.
She almost believed what he said in the ward that day.
Fortunately, her heart didn’t soften for him. Otherwise, she would be the biggest clown in the world!
“I’m not,” Troy said.
“Then tell me, why did you let her out?”
Troy looked at her. His lips moved, and he lowered his eyes, but he said nothing.
He couldn’t say about her identity.
And more importantly, he would never let her know that she had given birth.
Imogen sneered. “Tell me!”
“Imogen, please believe me…”
“How do you expect me to believe you?!”
“Troy, Imogen, please stop fighting…” Grace said weakly, sitting on the side with her fork in her
hand.
Imogen suddenly returned to her senses. She took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and smiled at Grace. “Okay, we’ll stop fighting.”
She had lost her mind after meeting Sarah and quarreled with Troy in front of Grace. How unwise. of her.
Troy said nothing else either.
However, the atmosphere at the dinner table became obviously tense.
After eating, the three of them left the restaurant together.
Sarah’s stomach was swollen from drinking, and she felt sick. She finally fled the private room, and when she turned around, she saw the figures of those three leaving.
Troy and Imogen walked on both sides, holding the bouncing Grace in the middle. They looked like a family.
Sarah faintly heard Troy say to Imogen in a soft tone, “I’ll drive you and Grace back.”
The expression on Sarah’s face stiffened, and she stared at them until the three of them turned around the corner and vanished.

She thought, “Why is Troy still with Imogen?
Doesn’t he already know Imogen’s true identity?
Could it be that he likes Imogen so much that he can tolerate her fooling around and having a baby?
So, did he deliberately show no concern for Imogen last time just to make me relax my vigilance and hand over all the photos in my possession?!
Troy! How sly of you!”
Sarah clenched her fists hard, her nails digging deeply into her flesh.
She cursed in her heart, “Why?!
Why?!
Why am I banned? Why do I have to please greasy and wretched old men to get a chance to appear on a variety show, while Imogen could win Troy’s heart without doing anything and even get Troy’s forgiveness for fooling around?
I can’t accept this!”
On the way back, Imogen didn’t give Troy much attention.
When they reached the front of the apartment building, Imogen got out of the car with Grace and glanced at Troy beside her expressionlessly. “We’re here. You can go back now.”
Troy held Imogen’s hand, and there was a painful expression in his eyes. “Imogen, whether you believe it or not, I have to tell you that I didn’t lie to you. I have an unavoidable difficulty…”
“What difficulty?” Imogen looked up and asked.
Troy pursed his lips and averted his gaze. “I can’t tell you now.”
“I’ll give you a chance. If you tell me, I will believe you.”
Faced with Troy’s silence, Imogen patiently said, “Troy, I’m giving you a chance. If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as you admit to what I said.”
Earlier, she said that Sarah was the person he liked, and he was deceiving her.
If he acquiesced to that being true, she probably would never want to get back together with him. An unreadable emotion flashed in Troy’s expression. He clenched his fists and closed his eyes.
A few minutes passed, and he still didn’t speak. Imogen finally lost her patience and held Grace’s hand. “Grace, let’s go.”
Grace looked back at Troy as she walked.
Troy slowly opened his eyes and looked at her leaving back. His gaze was so deep and distant, filled with thousands of words, but they were all silently hidden in the darkness, turning into an invisible barrier to protect her from the hardships in the world.
He slowly raised his hand and waved at Grace.
Only then did Grace turn her head away and go home with Imogen.
In the elevator, Imogen watched the changing numbers on the small screen as the elevator moved upward. Her eyes were unfocused, and she was lost in thought.
She really couldn’t understand what difficulty Troy was facing.
He chose to acquiesce that he liked Sarah rather than say it out loud.
Or did he have no difficulties at all and just simply liked Sarah?
She didn’t want to think about it anymore.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“Imogen, we’re here,” Grace reminded her in a childish voice.
Imogen returned to his senses and led Grace out of the elevator.
When Imogen reached home, she contacted the Burmese client she had once worked with. She didn’t mention her father, only saying that a fugitive was currently in Yangon.
The client was currently still in the country and couldn’t help much, but he recommended a

name was Dustin Miller.
Imogen immediately contacted the person named Dustin.
After learning about Imogen’s intentions, Dustin immediately asked for one hundred thousand dollars, and when the task was completed, he would make up for the deposit of two hundred thousand dollars.
Imogen bargained with him, and the deposit changed to fifty thousand dollars.
In this way, even if Dustin took the money and did nothing, she would only lose fifty thousand dollars.
After all, she and Dustin had never met, and a contract was invalid for such an illegal thing. The risk of being tricked was high, but she had to do it.
She could only minimize her losses.
