Chapter 34.1: Clarification
“Sarah, please believe me. I give you my word that I will always be by your side. You can trust me completely, and I will never let you down. I won’t break my promise to you.
“But you‘ re already married. You have a wife now, and I can no longer be with you. Who do you think I am? If I had known about your marriage earlier, I would never have reached out to you or gotten involved with you. How could you make me deal with Imogen?” Sarah cried, overcome with emotion.
“I apologize for the situation with her. It’s not something you need to worry about. We decided to pursue a divorce through mutual agreement, and the process is underway. I expect to obtain the divorce certificate soon.”
“Sarah, can you trust me again this time? I promise, I genuinely won’t break my promise,” Troy asked, pleading.
With her sweaty eyes, cautiously, Sarah asked, “Really?”
“Yes, really,” Troy nodded and assured her.
With thaf, Sarah embraced Troy, and the tears she was trying to stop fell onto her red cheeks, saying, “Troy, I can’t bear to leave you. I really can’t bear it. I’d rather die than be away from you.”
Hearing her sobbing words, Troy held Sarah close, gently comforting her as she cried.
In the middle of their hug, Ylah suddenly interrupted and warned, “Mr. Marshall, there’s something I need to remind you.”
“What is it about?”
“Please bear in mind that Sarah is a public figure, and her reputation is of utmost importance. If news of your relationship were to come out, it could have significant consequences for her personal and professional life. It’s essential to consider her well–being and future before proceeding. If you find that you cannot protect Sarah and her reputation, it might be best to reevaluate the relationship and prioritize her safety and happiness.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to Sarah,” Troy promised solemnly.
“That’s good to hear. You don’t know that she seemed lifeless when I met Sarah abroad.”
As Ylah and Troy engaged in conversation, Sarah’s gaze fell upon a small red mark on Troy‘ s shirt collar. Instantly, her body tensed up, and a mix of emotions washed over her, leaving a visible hint of sadness in her eyes. Reacting impulsively, she pushed Troy away, unable to hold back her tears, which started flowing uncontrollably.
“What’s wrong?” Troy was bewildered, not understanding the reason behind her reaction.
“Please, don’t come over, don’t touch me, and don’t touch other women!” Sarah cried, her emotions were raw, and her words were filled with hurt. Troy froze in place, trying to understand the reason behind her outburst. In the room, he caught a glimpse of a floor mirror, and as he approached it, he noticed a faint strawberry print on his collar.
While this moment was unfolding, Ylah’s phone rang, interrupting the tension. She hurriedly stepped outside to answer the call. An anxious voice came through the microphone and said,
“Yeah, please quickly check the trending topic on Instagram.”
Yeah opened the app and discovered a popular search term for Star Entertainment. Star Entertainment’s official blog clarified that their investment in Cloudwater City has no connection to any specific actress. Instead, it is a regular commercial activity that had already

been planned last year. Multiple marketing accounts have shared and spread clarification, generating numerous comments from passersby representing various backgrounds and perspectives.
“Since Sarah returned to Canada, her works haven’t gained much popularity, but quite a few people are searching for her.”
“It’s quite amusing how some fans skillfully use a topic to express their own ideas and end up pressuring the company to issue a clarification.”
Although Troy is not an artist, he still has a diverse fan base, and many of them have become active in the comment section under the Instagram post.
After quickly skimming through the comments, Ylah rushed back into the room and said, “Mr. Marshall, take a look.
She handed her phone to Troy directly.
“I hope Mr. Marshall can explain the situation to Sarah; otherwise, these passersby might assume that Sarah was merely speculating, which could be very damaging to her.
Troy swiftly scrolled through the comments and immediately contacted Mr. Jordan. He worked on containing the situation’s impact and then got in touch with the person in charge of Star Entertainment to address the matter more comprehensively.

Chapter 34.2: Clarification
Upon receiving Troy’s phone call, the person in charge of Star Entertainment nervously explained, “Mr. Marshall, I had no choice. The chairman insisted on this clarification. He said,
‘If anyone has questions, he‘ Il personally address them.”
With a mix of concern and frustration, Troy hurriedly stepped outside and dialed his
grandfather’s number.
“Hello, Grandpa,” Troy greeted.
The old man’s voice on the other end of the line hummed with music as he responded, “Troy, what can I do for you?”
Troy said, “Grandpa, did you instruct someone to issue the clarification for Star
Entertainment?”
“Since you took over Marshall Group, I’ve stopped meddling in the company’s affairs. But this matter is different; I had to intervene,” the grandfather replied.
Troy couldn’t hide his dismay, but his grandfather continued, “But Troy, look at what you‘ ve done now! You didn’t even have breakfast this morning; instead, you went straight to find Sarah.
Do
you not take my words seriously? What about Imogen these past three years? You shouldn’t have married her if you weren’t willing to take responsibility from the beginning. You know, I introduced her to you for happiness. Now, how do you expect me to face Imogen?”
After a brief pause, Troy continued, “I promise this won’t happen again in the future, but I hope you’ll discuss things with me before making decisions next time.”
As the morning slipped away, Imogen woke up later than planned. The kind servant aunt in the old house took care of her, preparing a fresh breakfast to start the day. Realizing she couldn’t make it to work on time, she made the decision to spend some extra time at the old house with her grandparents. They enjoyed a pleasant lunch together, cherishing the opportunity to catch up.
As she was about to leave, the caring old lady handed her an invitation letter for Eventbrite Charity Dinner. She explained that the invitation was sent to her, but since she couldn’t use it, Imogen should attend with Troy, as they were subtly trying to bring them together.
Unbeknownst to her grandparents, Imogen and Troy had already signed a divorce agreement.
“I’ve never been to such a dinner party before, I’m afraid…” Imogen hesitated. “Don’t worry. Troy will accompany you. Everything will be fine,” the old lady reassured her, patting her hand.
Summoning her courage, Imogen nodded and agreed to attend the dinner with Troy.
After leaving the family mansion, Imogen headed to the company. And as soon as she stepped out of the elevator, Imogen headed towards her office and accidentally bumped into the CEOs office secretary.
The secretary informed Imogen, “Director Forbes, Mr. Marshall mentioned that if you arrived, you should go see him.”
“Alright, understood,” Imogen replied.
Imogen proceeded directly to the CEO’s office, knocked on the door, and upon receiving permission, entered the room. She asked, “Mr. Marshall, how may I assist you?”
Sitting at his desk, Troy looked up at her and questioned, “You‘ re here, just came from the

A
family mansion, right?”
“Yes,” Imogen confirmed.
“I called you here to inquire about something. I hope you will be honest with me,” Troy said. “What is it?” Imogen inquired.
“Did you inform Grandpa that I went to search for Sarah?”
Imogen‘ s eyes showed surprise, and she promptly shook her head, replying, “No, I didn‘ t.”
Troy’s eyes bore a deep intensity as he couldn’t take his gaze off Imogen. He persisted, “Are you absolutely certain it wasn’t you?”
Imogen met his stare with unwavering confidence, “I can assure you, it was not me.’
Despite her assurance, a sense of discomfort lingered within her.
Troy remained skeptical and stayed silent.
Imogen stared at him for a moment before inquiring further, “Does Grandpa know you went to find Sarah? It’s quite possible. Sometimes, they make us believe they‘ re unaware of business matters, but they have a keen understanding.”
Troy nodded to himself, acknowledging the possibility. “Alright, you may go back for now. We’ll go together for the styling after work tonight,” he said.
The upcoming charity dinner had already been discussed with him by the elderly lady.
“Understood. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave,” Imogen replied, leaving.
“Wait a moment,” Troy called out, causing her to pause and look back at him.
“Is there anything else?” she inquired.
Troy tugged at his collar and asked, “Please avoid leaving any marks on me next time.”
Imogen momentarily froze before realizing he was referring to the marks on his neck. A faint smile appeared on her face, and she replied, “Don’t worry, there won’t be another opportunity for that.”
With that, Imogen left the office.
As Troy watched her departing figure, her parting words echoed in his mind, stirring an indescribable emotion.
“There won’t be another opportunity,” he repeated. Then he gradually relaxed, leaning back in his chair, and closed his eyes.
