Chapter 264 I Will Go With You
There was a hint of a smile in Troy’s eyes, mixed with a bit of a cunning look.
Imogen glared at him and refused to pay him any attention, so she turned around to look for
Grace.
Imogen and Grace soaked in the hot spring for half an afternoon before packing up
On the way back, Imogen subconsciously sneaked a look at Victor’s warehouse.
It was originally in her plan for Erik to meet Victor.
and leaving.
She needed an opportunity to mention Victor in front of Erik and reveal Victor’s identity and conflict.
The warehouse was the best choice. Not only could it achieve her purpose, but it could also show the problems with Victor’s properties.
Therefore, she found a few gangsters to create that accident.
Now, she knew that Jeff was in Yangon.
Even if she had imagined learning about Blake and Jeff’s relationship through Erik and discovering some clues, there might be situations where the hostages would not come forward to identify themselves. Moreover, Erik had not come out with any results yet. Even if he had, the clues might have been wiped out long ago.
So she had to make two preparations and find a way to bring Jeff back to the country, then hand him over to the police.
It was not an easy task to arrest someone in a foreign country, and they couldn’t let Jeff be aware of it.
Imogen rubbed her forehead, and when she inadvertently raised her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Troy in the rearview mirror, looking straight ahead and concentrating on driving.
Her gaze moved away from the rearview mirror and landed on Troy’s figure.
From Imogen’s angle, she could see his sharp and angular jawline, and the hair on the back of his neck also looked clean and neat. His straight shoulders were holding up his suit, his big hands were on the steering wheel, and the creases of his clothes were outlining his strong upper arms.
Every part of him was to her liking.
If she put aside everything in the past and let her meet Troy again, she might still fall in love with him.
“Troy?” Imogen called out to him in the quiet car.
“Yes?” Troy looked at Imogen from the rearview mirror, and their eyes met. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
correctly,
Imogen asked, “If I remember correctly, Marshall Group has branch offices in Southeast Asia, right?”
There might be high–level officials from Myanmar among them. Although Troy was not the company’s president, he still had his connections.
“Why are you suddenly asking about this?” Troy raised his eyebrows.
Imogen almost blurted it out, but after pondering for a while, she didn’t say anything in the end. “It’s nothing. I was just asking.”
She wanted to ask for Troy’s help to ask the Burmese people to catch Jeff since it would be more

they were not familiar with Yangon themselves, it might alert the target and even violate the local laws.
All this was only in her mind, and she still didn’t say it out loud.
She was afraid that if Troy tracked down the clues and knew that she was approaching Erik on purpose, he would be more insatiable and pester her even more wantonly.
Truthfully, she had also worked with a Burmese client before, but they didn’t have any contacts recently, and she wasn’t sure whether the person was still in the country.

want to go
“How did you suddenly think of it if?” Troy didn’t believe it, then took a guess. to Southeast Asia? Or do you want to do something?” Imogen thought for a while, then went along with him. “I want to go sightseeing in Southeast Asia after Christmas, but I’m afraid the situation there will be chaotic…”
“I’ll
go with you.”
Grace was propping herself up against the window and looking at the scenery outside. Hearing their conversation, she turned around and raised her little hand. “I want to go too… But I have to go to school…”
Imogen comforted her, “Don’t cry, I won’t go.”
“Grace, let me tell you something,” Troy said in a tempting tone, “The kindergartens here will not start a new term until half a month after Christmas.”
Grace’s eyes lit up, but as if suddenly thought of something, the light in her eyes dimmed, and her face showed a torn expression.
Imogen glared at Troy and patted Grace on the shoulder. “Grace, don’t listen to your uncle. You can go back if you want. If you want to travel with me, you can come again during your summer holiday, okay?”
“Yes.” Grace nodded vigorously and buried her head in Imogen’s arms. “Imogen, you are so kind. I want to sleep with you again at night.”
Imogen hugged her and patted her back.
The rearview mirror reflected Imogen’s loving face as if Grace was truly her child.
Troy saw it, and he couldn’t suppress the smile forming on his lips.
When they reached New York City, the sky was already getting dark.
Troy drove the car to a restaurant. He parked the car and then unbuckled his seat belt. “Let’s have dinner first, then I’ll drive you back after dinner.”
Imogen and Grace got out of the car. The three of them entered the restaurant together and went to the private room on the second floor.
Imogen went to the restroom before eating.
When passing the fire escape, Imogen heard the sound of a conversation.
The woman had a coquettish voice, and she said, “Mr. Reed, please don’t be like this… We’re in a restaurant. I’ll let you do whatever you want at the hotel later…”
A lewd male voice sounded as the man said, “At night? I can’t wait now…”
There was a rustling sound, and the woman said, “About that show…”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely give it to you. Hurry up, let me take care of you…”
“Don’t…”
Then a woman’s panting voice echoed in the corridor.
It turned out that she had run into one of those behind–the–scene practices of the entertainment industry.
Imogen quietly passed by the stairs, not taking it seriously.
When she came out of the bathroom, she looked up and saw a middle–aged man walking out of the fire escape ahead, straightening his collar while walking.
Imogen took a closer look and realized that the middle–aged man was the one who had harassed her before, Kenny!
It seemed that he was the one who did that atrocious thing with a female celebrity just now! However, Imogen didn’t expect Kenny to finish so quickly.
She did the math, and it only took them less than five minutes!
When Imogen passed the fire escape, a woman walked out, tidying her hair up as she walked. Seeing Imogen, the woman paused.
Imogen caught a glimpse of her face, and a trace of astonishment flashed in her eyes.
She never thought that Sarah would end up like this.
Without Troy’s support, if she wanted to continue her career in the entertainment industry, she would not be able to escape the dark, murky sides of the industry.
If she hadn’t angered Henry to death back then, Troy would have ensured her prosperity. Therefore, everything that happened now was all her own fault.
As soon as Imogen saw Sarah, Imogen thought of the deceased Henry, and the grief and anger in her heart surged up.
If it weren’t for Sarah, perhaps Henry wouldn’t have passed away so early that she couldn’t even see him for the last time.
“Wait,” Imogen thought abruptly, “Didn’t Troy say that Sarah has always been at Villard Hospital? Then why is she here now?”
Two pairs of eyes locked gazes with each other.
If one were about to ask Sarah who the person she wanted to see the least at this moment was, it must be Imogen.
Yet, they just happened to meet now.
At that moment, Sarah’s mind went blank for a moment. A series of complex emotions, such as embarrassment, shame, and anger, mixed together before finally turning into a strong hatred that was deeply carved in her heart.
For a moment, their gazes clashed together, and it looked as if sparks of fire were flowing around them
However, if Troy were to know Imogen’s true colors, she would have a miserable end!
A sinister expression flashed in Sarah’s eyes. She raised her chin and walked past Imogen with her head held high.
“Sarah!” Imogen stopped her in a cold voice and asked, “Grandpa has never wronged you, so why did you say all those to shock him, causing him to severely fall ill and pass away?!”

Sarah halted her steps upon hearing this. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she laughed out loud. “I can’t bear the crime of killing Sir Marshall. It was because he was old and frail himself and couldn’t hold on any longer!”
She thought that Imogen would question the photo, but she didn’t expect it to be about Henry. Could it be that Troy didn’t tell her the truth?
Imogen pursed her lips, shot Sarah a cruel look, and suddenly slapped Sarah on the face. She looked at Sarah coldly and said, “I’m slapping you on behalf of grandpa! You should be repenting for your sins in the psychiatric hospital for the rest of your life!”
Her head turned to the side, Sarah touched her cheek, and the hair around her face was messy. She raised her head and looked at Imogen coldly before suddenly laughing bitterly, and her words contained a hint of provocation. “Repent? Haha! Now that you mentioned the psychiatric hospital, why do you think Troy still lets me out when he clearly knows that I was the one who angered Sir Marshall to death?”
