Imogen opened the call log and saw dozens of missed calls and a few text messages from Troy.
She opened each message one by one. The first one: [Imogen, where are you? I’lle pick you
up.]
The second one: [I can exin the news.]
The third one: [I’m sorry.]
Seeing those words, Imogen smiled.
He was sorry.
He was always sorry.
He would always just say that.
Though he knew he was sorry for her, he continued to do something to hurt her.
The time of the fourth message was muchter than the first three: [Imogen, your interview at the
hospital entrance got maliciously edited. I’ve already arranged for it to be suppressed. Where are
you? I’lle pick you up. Remember to call me when you see this message.]
Imogen searched on Instagram and indeed found news about herself, which was recently posted by
several influencer ounts.
The media titled this news. “The Latest Response From Imogen, Who Had an Affair With Troy.”
What did she respond?
Nothing at all.
Influencer ounts and the media were portraying Imogen’s attitude as feeling guilty and unwilling
to respond directly. Thements below were full of criticism towards Imogen and discussions
about her appearance.
Netizen 1: [I’m an onlooker. I don’t understand what men are thinking nowadays. Sarah is so
beautiful. Why would he go for a mistress? This woman is far fromparable to Sarah.]
Netizen 2: [It clearly shows that a man’s infidelity is not because of how attractive that woman is but
rather about seeking novelty.]
Netizen 3: [As the saying goes, a mistress is better than a wife.]
Meanwhile, a batch of videos emerged on major video tforms showing Sarah’s beauty during this
period.
Among them, the highest–viewed video had a title. “Troy’s Affair Partner Vs. Troy’s Marriage
Partner.” There were countless videos like this gaining poprity.
Besides, there was also a trending topic with a hashtag: “Marshall Group’s official ount liked a
post.”
Once clicked, there was a picture posted by someone showing a section on Marshall Group’s
official ount titled “Instagram posts he liked.”
That Instagram post was an influencer ount using Imogen of being a mistress.
However, checking Marshall Group’s official ount now,izens found the likes had been
canceled.
But it still sparked spection.
Netizens were discussing, saying it must be concrete evidence. Even the employees from

Group couldn’t stand if and covertly sought justice for Sarah.
Imogen knew that Marshall Group’s Instagram ount and other tforms‘ official ounts were
managed by the public rtions department.
Imogen briefly skimmed through it and then exited Instagram.
Just as she was about to switch off her phone again, Troy’s call came in.
Imogen quickly declined the call and switched off her phone.
She
put her phone back in her bag and went to a coffee shop, ordering a cup of coffee and sitting on a
high stool, eating her hamburger while drinking her coffee.
A young man sat next to her at some point. He held a cup of coffee and nced at Imogen a few
times before gathering the courage to speak, “Miss, can I add you as a Facebook friend??”
Imogen froze for a moment, smiled faintly, and shook her head. “Sorry.”
“It’s fine. Sorry for bothering you,” the young man quickly said, and his ears turned red.
After finishing the hamburger and the coffee, Imogen stayed at the coffee shop for a while before
leaving.
She walked leisurely along the sidewalk by the street.
After an unknown amount of time, she saw a clubhouse across the street. On a whim, she crossed.
the road and went inside, heading straight to the basement floor.
The basement floor held a bar.
The bar wasn’t crowded right now, and the lighting was bright.
There was a beautiful singer on stage with a soulful voice singing folk songs.
Imogen sat at the bar, and the bartender asked, “Miss, what can I get for you?”
Imogen was about to speak but suddenly realized she couldn’t drink alcohol while pregnant. After
hesitating for a moment, she said, “Give me a ss of Sprite.”
The bartender was speechless.
He had a look on his face as if he was thinking, “Are you kidding me?” But he still brought Imogen a
ss of Sprite. “Miss, enjoy your drink.”
“Thank you.”
Imogen took the ss and found a booth in the corner to sit down, looking at the singer on stage,
her thoughts drifting off somewhere.
This
song was about love. The singer’s voice wasn’t outstanding, and her pitch was average. Perhaps
because there weren’t many customers at the moment, her singing seemed somewhatzy.
But it caused Imogen’s eyes to well up with tears, and her heart felt a dull ache.

All the emotions she had held back for the whole day suddenly burst out at this moment.
For ten years, she had watched Troy grow from a naive college student into the powerful CEO of
Marshall Group.
He was the goal she chased after, the light in her darkest nights, and the only story she had for the
past ten years.
She crawled out of the darkness, covered in mud, and used all her strength to run toward him.
In their three years of marriage, she had devoted herselfpletely and exhausted all her
Chapter 61 He Would Always Just Say Sorry
passion.
He tried his best to be a good husband.
But it was fake, after all.
Time cannot stay, and he had long gone to pursue his beloved, leaving her waiting foolishly, hoping
he would turn back.
In his heart, she was never his wife but an underground lover, a hidden existence.
For three years, he visited Sarah every year but never told Sarah that he was already married. Just
as Sarah said, in a rtionship, the one who isn’t loved is the mistress.
She was the mistress intervening between Troy and Sarah.
How sweet it was a few days ago, and how painful she felt now.
It turned out that all the good things he did to her were acting, and they all had a purpose. She
finally understood.
She would no longer believe in him.
“Imogen? It’s you! I’m so lucky to run into you here.”
A familiar voice came from beside her. Imogen turned her head and saw a man, fully armed with
only his eyes visible, sitting across from her.
Imogen recognized he was Liam at a nce. She suppressed her emotions, smiled faintly, and
said, “Liam, what’s going on recently? Howe I keep running into you everywhere?” Liam pulled
down the mask a little. “I had lunch with the people from the TV station earlier.” He pointed to the
clubhouse upstairs, tilting his head as he looked at Imogen. “I thought you might not be in a good
mood and woulde to the bar, so I came here. But I didn’t actually run into you. I sent you a
message on Facebook. Why didn’t you reply?” “Sorry, my phone was turned off.”
“Are you here to find some peace and quiet?”
Although it was a question, his tone was firm.
expect to
Imogen pursed her lips and didn’t deny it. She picked up her ss and took a sip of Sprite. “Don’t
let that online news affect you. I hate those heartless reporters and media outlets who create
rumors just for the sake of attention.”
Liam had watched today’s news, thinking that Imogen was upset because of it. He tried tofort
her.
“When I first debuted, I used to care a lot about thements online. But over time, I slowly
understood that they are just one of eight billion people in the world. They are strangers I’ve never
met. They will never understand me. They just vent their frustrations online based on a few words
from the media. Why should I care about them? My life is much more interesting than theirs. -How
many people will remember this after this wave of attention passes?”
Imogen smiled. “You’re right.”
But what she cared about was never thements online. What she cared about was Troy’s
behavior.
