Chapter 397 Cold Troy
Nicolas went home for dinner in the evening.
Seeing desserts on the plate, he thought they were made by the nanny at home. He picked one up
at random and picked up another one after eating it. “The desserts taste good.”
A proud smile appeared on Judith’s face. “Delicious?”
“Yeah, Mom, vou made it?”
“No, it was made by one of our tenants. If you like it, I’ll ask her to make some for you later.”
“No need.”
Although Nicolas liked it, he didn’t want to bother others.
“It’s okay. I didn’t force her. She’s very nice and enthusiastic. The sweet potatoes we ate last time were given by her. I wish I had a daughter like her.”
Nicolas frowned slightly.
The tenant should know his mother’s identity, so she deliberately pleased her.
Judith was immersed in her own world and continued, “That girl is a poor person. She has no mother and her father is seriously ill. She works and goes to school at the same time…”
Nicolas thought of Amber.
Amber said that her family was poor. She had two younger sisters and one younger brother. So she dropped out of school early to work.
He said, “She can still afford to go to school and rent a house near the school, which means that her life is not bad. There are more miserable people than her.”
Judith was speechless.
“Why are you so unsympathetic?”
Nicolas said, “I’m just doing a reasonable analysis.”
Judith grabbed his fork and said, “Stop eating.”
Nicolas was helpless.
robably because Layla refused Walter’s apology, he made a phone call to Imogen the next day.
ng a strange number from Jubilian City, Imogen thought it was Irene, so she didn’t answer it. had blocked Irene’s number.
er hanging up, the call came back.
mogen wanted to block her, but to avoid an error, she pressed the button and remained silent.
A male voice came from the other side, sounding about forty or fifty years old. “Hello?”
Was it not Irene?
Only then did Imogen speak out, “Hello? Who’s that speaking?”
“Is that Miss Forbes? This is Walter.”
Well, it wasn’t Irene but her husband.
“Mr. Harrington, what can I do for you?”
Imogen guessed that it should be for Ivette.
Last time, in order to prevent Ivette from being caught by the Dodd family, Irene could drug her.
Chapter 397 Cold Troy
According to Irene’s attitude toward Ivette, in order to prevent Ivette from going to jail this time, would Irene let her tell the police that it was actually a joke between the sisters?
“Imogen, can I call you this? I admired you very much before. When I knew that you were Irene’s daughter later, I told her more than once that I wanted you to come to the Harrington family. I will treat you as my own daughter.”
Imogen smiled, “Thank you for your appreciation.”
“I didn’t expect that Ivette did wrong one after another. Now she deserved it. I intended to apologize to you with your mother in person, but I didn’t expect that you would refuse, so I called you.”
Walter heard that she didn’t mean to get close, but she still spoke politely. After all, she was his daughter–in–law.
“Yes, I refused, so you don’t have to come to apologize.”
“You… don’t want to see us?”
“If you are just an ordinary elder, I will definitely treat you with courtesy. I just don’t want to see her, whether she comes to confess or to beg me to save Ivette. We’d better have nothing to do with each other in the future.”
“Your mother must have broken your heart. I’ve told her that Ivette is just her niece, and you are her biological daughter, but she seems to be enchanted. Since you don’t want to see her, I will restrain her.
Don’t worry. She won’t bother you.”
Imogen didn’t know why Walter showed kindness to her. She said, “Thank you.”
Whether what he said was true or not would be known later.
It had been a few days since Walter called her. Irene indeed hadn’t come to her.
Imogen hadn’t seen Troy for many days.
During this period, Troy didn’t make a call to her.
She called him several times, but either no one answered, or the person who answered was his
secretary.
Imogen felt something was wrong.
Before going to the crew, she called Troy again.
The call was connected.
Imogen thought that was his secretary, but unexpectedly a familiar voice came from the phone. “Hello?”
Imogen took a deep breath and said in a strange tone, “Mr. Marshall, are you free to answer the phone?”
The voice on the phone paused for a moment, and then an indifferent voice came. “What’s up? Imogen was stunned, and the smile on her face froze for a moment. “Can’t I call you if I have nothing to do?”
“I’ve been very busy recently, so don’t call me if you have nothing to do.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a buzz came from the phone.
Imogen looked at the phone screen in disbelief.
Did he just hang up like that?
Chapter 397 Cold Troy
Was that really Troy?!
Why was he so cold to her…
He was obviously nice before.
It seemed that after she fell asleep and he left her house, he became like this….
Imogen was puzzled.
Her heart suddenly was chilled.
Imogen had a lot of shooting these days, about ten scenes every day.
But after these days, a few more days of filming, her job would finish.
She stayed on the set all day long, shot late at night, and didn’t even take a break on May Day. There were a lot of activities around May Day, and Charlie went on business trips several times. When she came back in the middle of the month, she finally rested at home for a few days. At 10:30 p.m., Imogen returned home from filming. Charlie was still awake, swiping her phone in the living room.
Imogen rested for a while and began to remove her makeup.
Charlie thought of something and shouted, “Imogen?”
“What’s up?” Imogen poked her head out of the bathroom and asked, “What’s wrong?”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Dimwit is back from a business trip?” Charlie raised an eyebrow at her. “Don’t you make a date?” Imogen was startled. “Is he back from his business trip?”
Charlie was surprised. “Don’t you know? He didn’t tell you? I saw him in the restaurant today when I had dinner with my friends, but he did seem to be quite busy, the people surrounding him looking like bosses. I suppose he is socializing.”
“Oh.” Imogen sighed and lowered her eyes. “Maybe he was too busy and didn’t have time to tell
me.”
They hadn’t seen each other for half a month since she was abducted.
In the past, Troy was very busy with work, and it was common for him to travel for half a month. But this time, his attitude towards her was really thought–provoking.
“I suppose that he is so busy that he probably won’t have time to prepare anything, so why don’t you give him a surprise?”
Imogen called Aunt Mary, but she didn’t know that Troy had returned from a business trip, either. After hanging up, Aunt Mary became even more confused. Was Troy on a business trip? His secretary didn’t come to pack the luggage.
Imogen thought for a while and decided to meet Troy face to face. She wanted to know what was going on.
The next morning, Imogen took half a day off from the director and went directly to the Marshall Group.
The receptionist knew Imogen.
Seeing Imogen, she was stunned for a moment, and immediately changed her expression. “Ms. Forbes.”
“I’m here for Troy. Is he here?”
The receptionist hesitated “Yes Do you have an appointment?”
Imogen noticed something was wrong and dialed Lane’s number directly
