Chapter 115 The White Knight Appears
Imogen learned of the news from Liam.
While she was having breakfast, she received a message on Facebook Messenger from Liam:
[Don’t mind thements online. Those people are just venting their frustration. In a while, nobody
will remember.]
Most celebrities had anonymous ounts to lurk and observe, and Liam was no exception,
especially when it came to keeping tabs on Imogen.
Seeing the derogatoryments in thement section, Liam couldn’t help but argue back with
them using his anonymous ount.
Yet, the spectators mocked: [Herees the white knight…]
Imogen replied with a question mark: [What do you mean?]
The chat showed that Liam was typing a reply, but no message came through.
Liam was regretful.
If he had–known that Imogen was unaware of the news, he wouldn’t have sent that message.
Withdrawing it now would be too obvious.
Imogen somewhat guessed what was happening. “If you don’t reply, I’ll just check it out online
myself.”
Reluctantly, Liam shared a link with Imogen.
The link led to the gossip post on Instagram.
[Just read the news and leave it be. It’s all media spection. Mostizens don’t think for
themselves and are easily swayed. Don’t take it to heart.] Liam consoled.

Imogen clicked the link and skimmed through it, her expression unchanged.
The writing wasn’t bad, and it had a professional touch.
Noticing the post’s timestamp, she nced at Troy, sitting opposite her.
“I saw the news. Did Lane call youte at night because of this?”
Troy looked briefly at her phone screen. “You don’t need to worry about this. I’ve sent someone to
handle it.”
“Okay.” Imogen calmly took a bite of her sandwich.
Reading thements on Instagram, she felt no disturbance.
Just a mindless mob.
To them, any exnation was a cover–up. Silence was guilt. They weren’t worth the attention.
Imogen then messaged Liam back: [Thank you. I’m not taking it to heart. Don’t get upset over them
either…]
“Don’t y with your phone during meals.” Troy hinted.
As Imogen was about to put her phone down, another message from Liam popped up. [Has your
boyfriend seen this news? If he has, exin it to him. Don’t let him misunderstand.]
In this message, Liam was probing. He remembered Imogen once mentioned she and her boyfriend
were not getting along and were on the brink of breaking up.
Imogen nced at Troy across the table.
Chapter 115 The White Knight Appears
Initially, she had concealed her rtionship with Troy, thinking they would soon divorce.
But now, things had taken an unexpected turn.
She didn’t want her friends to misunderstand or constantly worry about her.
After pondering for a while, she replied to Liam: [No misunderstanding.]
Seeing her reply, which suggested no intention of breaking up anytime soon, Liam felt a bit
dejected. [It’s good he believes in you!]
Imogen: [What I mean is… some of the things in the news are true.]
Liam: [?]
Liam: [Do you mean… what I think
you mean?]
The typing indicator blinked continuously, showing Liam’s conflicted emotions.
As Imogen was about to exin further, Troy set down his fork. “I’m done eating. Hurry up. I’ll wait
for you to head to the office.”
Seeing this, Imogen couldn’t dawdle any longer. She had to put down her phone and focus on her
meal.
After getting into the car, Imogen turned on her phone, only to find two more messages from
Liam.
[Do you mean… you and Mr. Marshall…]
The punctuation couldn’t fully express Liam’s current emotions.
He found it hard to believe, but then he recalled thest time in the underground parking lot of the
hotel where Sarah held her birthday party. Imogen was cold towards Troy, yet Troy wasn’t the least
bit annoyed. Clearly, their rtionship was out of the ordinary.
Thinking of Troy’s subtle hostility towards him, at first, Liam thought it was just his imagination.
Some unintentional details that had gone unnoticed at the time now made sense in retrospect.
It seemed there had been signs all along.
He even began to suspect that the boyfriend Imogen spoke of was Troy.
And thest time when Imogen mentioned they were about to break up, the cause was Troy
celebrating Sarah’s birthday.
Liam remembered that when Sarah had been burned, even though the injury wasn’t serious, Troy
still stayed by her bedside all night.
With Troy so entangled with Sarah, how could he be worthy of Imogen?
So, he sent another message to Imogen. [Imogen, if the news is true, I hope you think clearly. Troy
isn’t someone worthy of your trust!]
Unlocking her screen, Imogen saw Liam’s messages.
Previously, she would have defended Troy if Liam had spoken this way.
But now, she just frowned slightly, about to reply, when she heard Troy’s voice, “I’m not someone
worth entrusting?”
His tone was yful as he asked, “If not me, then who? Liam?”
Imogen was startled and quickly hid her phone, looking at Troy cautiously. “How did you peek at
my phone?”

“I didn’t peek. I looked right at it.”
She had been chatting on her phone during breakfast, and Troy had noticed that she was talking
to Liam.
Seeing her continue the chat with Liam after getting into the car, Troy couldn’t help himself. He
nced at Imogen’s phone screen and saw that particr message.
“You…” Imogen gave him a look but said nothing. She unlocked her phone and replied to Liam. [I’ll
exin when I have time.]
Seeing this message, Liam’s expression dimmed.
He wanted to reply but feared Imogen might find him too meddlesome and possibly wouldn’t even
remain friends with him. He typed a few words but deleted them all.
“You haven’t answered my question.” Troy pressed her.
“What question?”
“I’m not someone worth entrusting? Then who is? Liam?”
Troy looked deep into Imogen’s eyes, his voice low.
Even though their rtionship had been harmonioustely, he hadn’t forgotten that when he had
suggested divorce, Imogen had immediately agreed.
Was it because she liked Liam?
The doubt in his voice was so pronounced, as if she had cheated on him.
Imogen nced at Troy and said, “I didn’t say that. Why are you making a big deal?”
“But
you didn’t deny it.”
Imogen responded, “If it weren’t for grandpa’s illness, we would already be divorced. This
discussion is pointless.”
Troy went silent.
“I know what you’re worried about. I can only tell you, Troy, and I’m not like you. Liam won’t
influence us. If we get a divorce, it will be because I’m utterly disappointed in you!”
The car remained silent all the way to the
Neither of them spoke.
Imogen leaned back in her seat, looking out at the street scenes, while Troy closed his
rest.
The driver, sensing the tension, didn’t make a sound and drove quietly.
eyes to
When they arrived at thepany and took the elevator, Imogen walked out behind Troy, then
quickly headed to the restroom.
Troy sensed that, at this moment, Imogen didn’t want to be seen with him in front of the employees.
Imogen entered a restroom stall.
Soon, footsteps approached, apanied by the voices of a few people.
They were employees from another department.
It was still early, so they chatted andughed as they entered the stalls.
Just as Imogen was about to leave, she overheard someone whispering, “Hey, did you see the
