Chapter 12


    Chapter 12: Partiality


    Being the CEO of Marshall Group of Companies, Troy had appeared multiple times in different


    news. He was prominent for his handsome appearance, tall and upright figure, unique family


    background, and absence of scandals. For that reason, he also attracted fans who saw him as


    someone who could be a novel’s protagonist.


    On the other hand, Sarah, who was linked to him, was pretty, sessful in her career, and


    achieved a lot already, even in foreign countries. The two of them were heavenly matched.


    Those resulted in gaining a lot of fans that supported the couple. The fans even put their names


    together and that became a super topic online, “Sarah–Troy.”


    In a short time, the number of their fans skyrocketed to tens of thousands.


    It came to the point that fanfictions writers were writing touching love stories about the two. In


    comparison, artists used them as prototypes to draw couple portraits. They also edited out video


    clips from Sarah’s dramas and Troy’s appearing on the news and spread them everywhere.


    Imogen clicked one of the trending topics about the two: Did Troy and Sarah get married today?


    The fans would find romance and love stories they like from various sources. They spected that


    since Sarah went abroad and Troy had been single, without another girl on his side, the man was


    waiting for the woman to return to New York.


    But to Imogen, those words seemed like sharp des piercing her heart fiercely–bleeding


    profusely.


    Her fingers trembled while holding her phone, and her throat was sour.


    She was Troy’s wife. So why did Troy do this? Those were the questions in her head.


    In the end, Imogen took a deep breath, turned off her phone, and got up to go to the CEO’s office.


    When she arrived, she stood at the door and paused momentarily. She took a deep breath before


    knocking.


    “Come in,” the voice of Troy was heard from the inside.


    Hearing that, Imogen pushed the door and went in. She stood before his desk with a grim


    expression.


    “I don’t think our public rtions department is handling the issue appropriately.”


    Her words made Troy raise his sight to look at her and meet her eyes with coldness.


    “Not handling properly? What do you think is the best way to handle it, if not that?”


    “You see, McKesson will be bound to Sarah after this incident. The direction, the n, and the


    brand development of McKesson all match with her.


    That was indeed the case. These days, people were specting that Sarah was the female boss of


    McKesson, and she was personally endorsing her products. People would inevitably think of her


    when McKesson was brought up in the future,


    Intimately speaking, Imogen did not want her hard work to be associated with the woman. However,


    it appeared like she had to cooperate even with a heavy heart.


    “Are you even sincere about it?” He started, obviously with spite. “Or are you just covering up for


    McKesson? Aren’t you doing this because your initial n failed?”


    Imogen was dumbfounded and nced at Troy, baffled, “What are you saying?”


    “Aren’t you the one who exposed the news on the inte? If she’s rted to things like this, you

    should know how much it would affect Sarah’s career.”


    The statement she heard from him stunned her to where she was standing, evidently dazed and


    shocked. “Are you implying that I am behind all those issues online? Is that what you think of me?”


    “Aren’t you? If you’re not satisfied with the terms of our divorce, just let me know. Why are you


    dragging Sarah into our mess? She’s innocent.”


    It felt ridiculous. The woman intervened a lot, but she was still innocent for him. It was as if he was


    insinuating that she was acting by means, and her actions should be understood.

    From the beginning, his heart was biased. That, she realized. Even if she were right, he would still


    think that she was the one the wrong


    Standing there, Imogen’s heart ached, and she felt frustrated and hurt because of the man.


    She held her breath, her lips trembling, unable to speak.


    She didn’t expect that Troy thought of her that way—precisely the worst. Even after three years of


    marriage, he still misunderstood her so much.


    “Aren’t I right? And what will you do next? Expose to the public that we are married and brand her


    as a mistress, so she will be hated?”


    His harsh words made Imogen suck in the air as her chest tightened. But she looked at him straight


    and spoke, “Isn’t that the truth? She’s a mistress.”


    Troy was lost for words.


    “How did you even fool your grandparents when we got married?” Imogen’s eyes turned red. Her


    lips trembled as she continued, “If you only told me you could not forget her, I would never have


    married you.”


    “I am also a human with feelings! How could you do this to me?” Her breathing hitched, and her


    shoulders stiffened.


    “Can’t you please keep your head clear? If I am behind those issues, there are better ways to do it!


    Not that way!”
