Chapter 291 The Wearer Knows Where the Shoe Pinches
Therefore, on Christmas Eve, it seemed that he was forcing Imogen to break up, but in fact, it was Imogen’s will.
She obviously wanted to break up with Erik, but she acted like she didn’t want to break of him to make him angry.
The woman, after divorcing him, got a lot of nerve!
Troy took off his headphones and threw them into the storage box.
The fury in his heart was burning more and more, almost uncontrollable.

in front
He was screaming in his mind to turn around and go back to find Imogen to settle the issues, press her on the bed, and make her cry to see if she still dared to irritate him!
The only trace of reason made him suppress this idea.
While waiting for the traffic light to change, Troy took a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket and bit it between his teeth. He thought of Grace in the back seat when he was about to ignite it and put the lighter back.
The red light turned green, and Troy restarted the car.
By the time he arrived at the Galaxy Villa, the cigarette filter had been chewed to pieces by him. After sending Grace home, Troy turned the car around and headed to the company.
The cell phone rang.
He glanced at the cell phone screen beside him and freed one hand to answer the call, “Hello?”
As soon as the phone got through, Emily questioned, “Troy, did you take Grace to register for residence?” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“Yes.”
There was a trace of irritation in Troy’s eyes, and he had no desire to speak and did not want to argue with Emily.
Emily burst out in anger. “You… you’re really out of your mind! What did Imogen give you to make you give up having your own child?! It’s fine if Grace is a boy, she’s just a girl…”
“Auntie, I know what I’m doing very well. From now on, I will be Grace’s guardian. You are free to visit her when you miss her. As for other things, don’t interfere.”
Troy looked at the traffic ahead and said firmly, “You can say these things in front of me, but don’t say them in front of Grace. You will break her heart.”
“You really want to piss me off!”
“I don’t have such intentions.”
“Do you know why I keep stopping her from being with you? Let me tell you the truth. Imogen has given birth to a child with another man! When she was on exchange abroad, I went to London on a
business trip and saw her with a few people in a bar. When we met again later, she had a big belly, and she quickly dodged when she saw me, lest I find out what she was doing abroad! Originally, I didn’t care about her affairs, but your grandpa insisted on making you a couple. Troy! Think about it. How did I treat her before that? A woman like her is not worthy of you at all!”
Before the two married, Emily had an indifferent attitude and treated Imogen as a transparent person.

Although they were not close, they never spoke ill of each other.
After Henry announced that they would get married, Emily suddenly became particularly bad towards Imogen. Indeed, as she said, she felt unworthy for her nephew.
Troy lowered his eyes.
He had investigated Imogen’s experiences abroad and knew that Emily had exaggerated the facts and that half of her words were false.
Maybe Emily really saw Imogen, who was pregnant, so…
Troy narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “Did you give Sarah the photos?!”
There was a sudden silence on the other side for a few seconds.
Emily didn’t expect that Troy suddenly brought this up.
She admitted, “I gave it to her! I want you to see what kind of person Imogen truly is! I want you to wake up!”
Unexpectedly, Troy could accept the fact that Imogen had given birth without any grudges! Emily originally wanted to take advantage of Sarah and make the photos public to ruin Imogen’s reputation.
She couldn’t do this in person because doing so would damage the relationship between her and Troy.
She didn’t expect Sarah to be so useless that Troy could easily deceive the photo away.
“I will pretend that this never happened. Marriage is something that none but the wearer knows where the shoe pinches. In the future, please do not do anything to destroy my marriage in the name of doing good for me.” Troy warned.
Seeing that she was wasting her time, Emily was so angry.
She didn’t want to have tense conversations with Troy, so she took the initiative to change the subject. “Forget it, do whatever you like. By the way, I heard from other shareholders that there has been some friction in the business between the company and the Harrington family recently, and the Harrington family is trying to rob some projects of the company?”
Thinking of the past events in his youth, Emily roughly guessed why Yohan attacked the Marshall family after taking power, and a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes.
“Well.”
“I heard that the person in charge of the Harrington family is now Yohan. Have you seen him?” Emily asked tentatively.
“You know him?”
“I heard something about him.”
“I met him twice, but he didn’t want to say much. It’s not clear why he targets Marshall Group,” Troy said.
“Yohan used to stay abroad before, and Imogen was close to him when she was studying abroad. I think it might be because of Imogen…” Emily hinted at something.
“Impossible.” Troy firmly denied it.
Lane also speculated that it might be because of Imogen, but Troy thought it was not the case.
If Yohan were particularly fond of Imogen, he would have had no contact with her in the past few
Chapter 291 The Wearer Knows Where the Shoe Pinches
years, nor would he suddenly attack an equally powerful group because of her.
However, Emily’s words made Troy suspicious. She seemed to know Imogen’s life abroad very well.
Emily continued, “Yohan didn’t work in the company before, and now he suddenly returns to take power. There must be doubts in the Harrington family. He is also ambitious. He wants to transfer the conflict to the outside to prove his strength. Next, he will not easily let go of Marshall Group. Be careful.”
Yohan was just like his mother, scheming and always coveting things that didn’t belong to him. Troy didn’t refute. “Okay, I understand.”
With that said, he hung up the phone.
Thinking of Emily’s words, Troy felt this was not the case.
Marshall Group was not a good choice for Yohan to establish his authority, which Yohan must understand very well.
But why did Yohan do this?
It was a pyrrhic victory. Those projects suitable for Marshall Group may not be ideal for the Harrington family. If the Harrington family took them away, due benefits would fail to be exerted, and worse, their funds would be lost and in a dilemma.
Troy returned to the company, and Lane came to report that Yohan forced the purchase of Prosperity shares before Marshall Group.
Troy had expected it. “Continue to keep an eye on him and stoke them.”
Perhaps Yohan was still immersed in the joy of snatching Marshall Group’s project now, and what awaited him later would be slowly revealed.
After Lane went out, Troy opened the computer and looked at the brand–new monitor in front of him. He inevitably thought of Imogen and started to get angry in his heart.
After barely concentrating for a while, Troy picked up his cell phone and made a call.
At eight o’clock in the evening, Troy appeared in the club hall on time. He took an elevator up to a private room, pushed the door open, and entered.
There was no one inside. Troy closed the door, sat on the sofa, took out a lighter, and lit a cigarette.
About ten minutes later, Sarah opened the door and came in. Troy was leaning on the sofa, with his elbows on the armrest and a cigarette between his slender fingers.
He opened his lips lightly, and the smoke circled like a cloud.
Sarah glanced at the cigarette butts in the ashtray, narrowed her eyes slightly, and her eyes darkened.
He started smoking.
Sitting opposite Troy, she pretended to be ignorant and asked, “Troy, what do you want from me?”
