Chapter 34.1: rification
“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, ovee 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, gentlyforting her as she cried.
In the middle of their hug, h 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 rtionship were toe 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 rtionship
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 h and Troy engaged in conversation, Sarah’s gaze fell upon a small red mark on Troy‘ s shirt
cor. 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 uncontrobly.
“What’s wrong?” Troy was bewildered, not understanding the reason behind her reaction.
“Please, don’te 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 ce, 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 cor.
While this moment was unfolding, h’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 popr search term for Star Entertainment. Star
Entertainment’s official blog rified that their investment in Cloudwater City has no connection to
any specific actress. Instead, it is a regrmercial activity that had already
10:43
been nnedst year. Multiple marketing ounts have shared and spread rification,
generating numerousments from passersby representing various backgrounds and
perspectives.
“Since Sarah returned to Canada, her works haven’t gained much poprity, 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 thepany to issue a rification.”
Although Troy is not an artist, he still has a diverse fan base, and many of them have be active
in thement section under the Instagram post.
After quickly skimming through thements, h rushed back into the room and said, “Mr.
Marshall, take a look.
She handed her phone to Troy directly.
“I hope Mr. Marshall can exin the situation to Sarah; otherwise, these passersby might assume
that Sarah was merely specting, which could be very damaging to her.
Troy swiftly scrolled through thements 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 moreprehensively.

Chapter 34.2: rification
Upon receiving Troy’s phone call, the person in charge of Star Entertainment nervously exined,
“Mr. Marshall, I had no choice. The chairman insisted on this rification. 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 rification for Star
Entertainment?”
“Since you took over Marshall Group, I’ve stopped meddling in thepany’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.

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 upter than nned. 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 olddy handed her an invitation letter for Eventbrite Charity
Dinner. She exined 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 apany you. Everything will be fine,” the olddy 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 thepany. And as soon as she stepped out
of the elevator, Imogen headed towards her office and identally 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
10:43
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 difort 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 uing charity dinner had already been discussed with him by the elderlydy.
“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 cor 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 rxed, leaning back in his
chair, and closed his eyes.
