    Chapter 226 Super Jealous


    Imogen walked toward the hanger.


    Troy first took off the down jacket and wrapped it around her body.


    As soon as they left the studio, they felt the piercing cold.


    Troy said, “Get in the car.”


    Troy wanted to grab Imogen’s hand, but she avoided him.


    He froze for a moment, so he walked quickly to the side of the car and helped her door.


    Imogen sat in with her skirt


    1. up.


    Troy immediately closed the door and got into the car from the other side.


    There was plenty of heating in the car.


    Imogen took off her down jacket outside the venue and followed Troy.

    When they reached the door, Troy stopped suddenly. His arms curled up, and he nced at


    Imogen.


    Imogen raised her eyebrows. They walked with their arms linked together into the hall.


    “Mr. Marshall,” the host of the reception immediately greeted with an enthusiastic smile on his face,


    “I am honored to have invited you here.”


    Troy owned a lot of assets, such as the cutting–edge technologypany Whitmore Technology, in


    recent years, the real estatepany that undertook thendmark building in Telsy City, the tallest


    office building in the city center, and the King Building with the highest annual transaction volume in


    Notherny State.


    Therefore, even if he was not the president of Marshall Group, people still ttered him.


    Troy said, “I am also d to be here, Mr. Matthew.”


    “This is Ms. Forbes?” Mr. Matthew asked in an uncertain tone.


    After all, they had just divorced not long ago, and now they appeared at the reception together


    again.


    That should be a peaceful divorce, right?


    “Hello.” Imogen nodded and smiled.


    Mr. Matthew said, “Mr. Marshall, this way, please.”


    Troy said, “Okay.”


    Troy and Imogen walked inside slowly.


    Guest A greeted, “Mr. Marshall, long time no see…


    Guest B said, “Mr. Marshall is here with Imogen…”


    Many men who were well–groomed came up to greet Troy with wine sses.


    In the past, the female partner who participated in the business reception with Troy was his


    secretary. The secretary had made acquaintance with the people attending the reception in


    advance. Therefore, the secretary could smoothly socialize with those guests.


    As for the people present, Imogen basically didn’t know each other. As Troymunicated with


    them, Imogen could only keep smiling, acting like a doll. Her face was a little stiff because of her


    sustained smile.


    Probably because he didn’t want her to be so boring, every time someone came, Troy would


    introduce to her who it was.


    It made Imogen very confused. What was the use of introducing her? She didn’t do business with


    these people.


    Others were also confused.


    Not long ago, as they learned that Troy and Imogen had divorced, some people were eager to take


    action. Today, they brought their daughters here especially, but they saw Troy whispering to Imogen


    intimately.


    Beside a table, Imogen patted Troy’s arm.


    Troy turned his head, leaned slightly, and brought his ears closer.


    Imogen whispered, “Can I sit over there?”


    The reception was really not afortable ce.


    She didn’t know why Troy insisted on taking her to chat with others. Troy asked, “Are you tired?”


    Imogen answered, “It is boring.”


    Troy said, “Hold on a little longer.”


    Imogen said, “I can’t hold on.”


    Troy said, “I’ll take


    you there.”


    “No, thanks.” Imogen wanted to pull out the hand that was holding his arm, but he forced it down.


    Troy insisted and said to the surrounding people around him, “Excuse me.”


    Imogen sat down beside the sofa and waved directly to Troy. “Okay, I’m here. You can do your


    business.”

    Seeing how


    eager she was to chase him away, Troy smiled helplessly. “There are desserts over there. If you’re


    hungry, go and have a treat. I’ll take you to eat after it’s over.”


    Imogen said, “Okay. You can go.”


    Troy said, “I’m leaving.”


    Troy turned and left.


    Imogen said, “Please wait a minute.”


    Troy stopped and looked at her in surprise. “What’s wrong?”


    Imogen walked over, reached into his pocket, and took out her mobile phone. She said, “Okay, now


    you can go.”


    Troy was speechless.


    Imogen sat down on the sofa, turned on the phone, and flipped through it casually.


    Someone came to talk to her, but she didn’t know who it was, and her attitude was indifferent, so


    that person walked away.


    Not long after, she suddenly heard a familiar voice and shouted in surprise, “Imogen!?” Imogen


    looked up and saw Erik walking quickly with a wine ss. “Imogen, it’s really you. I


    thought I was wrong!”


    Imogen smiled at him. Her beautiful eyes were bent. There was light shining in her eyes. “Why are


    you here?”


    She wondered, “If Erik knows that Ie with Troy today, will he…”


    Erik stared at her attentively.


    Imogen asked, “Erik?”


    “My ssmate invited me here.” Erik came back to his senses. His face flushed slightly. His slender


    eyshes blinked, and he said, “Imogen, why are you here?”


    Imogen said calmly, “I received the invitation cards. Ie here because I have nothing to do.”


    After speaking, she scanned the hall secretly.


    There were a lot of people in the hall, chatting with each other. They blocked Imogen’s sight.


    Erik probably didn’t see Troy present and didn’t suspect anything at all. Erik said, “It’s the same with


    me, Imogen. Do you want something to eat? I’ll get it for you.”


    “I’ll go with you.” Imogen stood up and walked to the food area with Erik.


    She was afraid that Erik would identally see Troy when he was going to get the food, so she


    could only go there with him and divert his attention by chatting.


    Imogen took two small cakes and two cookies.


    She looked at the red wine ss, and then she looked at the phone in her hand.


    Erik immediately took the te from her hand and said, “Imogen, let me help you.”


    “Thank you. Don’t you want to eat?” Imogen picked up a ss of red wine and took a sip.


    Erik was stunned and picked up two cookies with a clip. He asked, “Do you mind if I put them


    together?”


    Imogen said, “It’s okay. Let’s put them together.”


    Erik just picked up a few cookies, cakes, and choctes that he wanted to eat and put them.


    together.


    When going back, Imogen secretly looked around and caught Troy’s figure.


    She didn’t know when there was a young woman beside him who looked enchanting from a


    distance.


    Imogen looked away.


    Erik went straight to find a ce to sit.


    Imogen saw that he was facing Troy’s direction. Her heart skipped a beat, and she said calmly,


    “Let’s sit here. The light is better here.”


    Erik thought, “Really?”


    Erik looked up, and although he was a little puzzled, he moved his position and turned his back to


    Troy.


    Imogen breathed a sigh of relief, sat down opposite Erik, ate small cakes, drank red wine, and


    chatted with Erik.


    They talked about some topics, from Erik’s ssmates to Erik’s interesting stories as he studied


    abroad. Imogen also picked up things about her college days to chat about and also mentioned that


    she had also been exchanged abroad to build rtionships, although she didn’t remember

    anything.


    The two were talking andughing, and the distance was unconsciously shortened a lot.


    Imogen raised her head inadvertently and confronted Troy’s sight unexpectedly.


    With a sullen expression, he strode towards her and Erik.


    She thought, “I can’t let Erik see Troy!”


    Imogen secretly said, Oops, quickly put down the wine ss in her hand, and said to Erik, “Excuse


    me. I’m going to the restroom.”


    Then, she stood up, lifted her skirt, and walked to the restroom.


    It was kind of like running away.


    Seeing Imogen fleeing to the restroom, Troy was still angry. He licked his mrs, turned around,


    and followed.


    Imogen stayed in the restroom for a few minutes, and then she headed out the door.


    There was no one in the corridor outside.


    Troy didn’t follow her, but Imogen was even more worried.


    She thought, “He wouldn’t go directly to Erik, would he?”


    She walked quickly down the hall.


    ”


    Suddenly, her arm was grabbed by someone, and the world was spinning for a while.


    By the time Imogen realized it, she had already been pushed against the door of the men’s


    restroom.


    Troy’s handsome face was magnified, and his angr facial features were particrly clear.


    Imogen froze for a few seconds before pushing him away. She asked, “Troy, what are you doing?”


    Troy’s face was gloomy. He didn’t answer and touched the door lock under the door.


    Click.


    The door was locked.
