Chapter 218 Nothing to Do With You
Troy’s hand involuntarily strained at the thought, the veins bulging on the back of his hand. His eyes grew gloomier, and he stared at Imogen like a hawk. His anger in the heart rose at the same. time, while there was a light sadness and stuffy pain like the mold on a rainy day spread slowly.
Seeing that Troy’s eyes were increasingly terrifying, Imogen felt a chill running down her back and tried to break free from his hand. “Troy, what are you doing? It hurts!”
Troy took a deep breath, suppressed the fury in his heart, and let go of Imogen’s hand. “You don’t like Liam. You didn’t like Liam from the very beginning, right?”
Imogen rubbed her wrist, rolled her eyes at Troy, then turned around and left. “Who I like has nothing to do with you.”
Troy stood still, staring at Imogen’s back with deep eyes.
He guessed right.
She didn’t like Liam at all!
But it was impossible for her to like Erik.
For someone like her who grew up with a single parent and lost her father at a young age, it was probably hard to like someone younger than her.
According to psychological analysis, who she liked was most likely someone older than her and could give her the same care as her father.
For a moment, Troy suspected that the man was Imogen’s teacher in college. He might trick Imogen by taking advantage of her ignorance and lack of love, but ultimately, he abandoned Imogen. That was why she said the person she liked didn’t like her!
It must be so.
Troy directly dialed Lane’s phone number and said, “Investigate Imogen’s interpersonal relationships in college, especially with her teachers.”
“Yes!” Lane replied firmly.
Since Troy had so accurately emphasized Imogen’s teachers, he probably knew something.
After hanging up the phone, Troy called the person in charge of Star Entertainment, asking him to try to recruit Liam.
Imogen didn’t like Liam, but Liam liked her.
After recruiting Liam over, they should seriously plan his career, which could make money and keep him busy, preventing him from pestering Imogen!
The person in charge of Star Entertainment agreed very much, “Mr. Marshall, I am also very optimistic about Liam. I’ll go to discuss with his team.”
But why did Imogen say that she liked Erik?
Troy frowned slightly.
He stood there, then turned around and went upstairs.
Sue asked, “Mr. Marshall, do you want to have dinner now? Or do you want to wait for Ms. Marshall?”
“Wait for her. Wake her up in an hour.”
“Okay.”
When the time came, Sue woke Grace up.
Grace was so sleepy that she lay on the bed, groaning, and didn’t want to eat.
Troy came over in person and carried Grace down. “Grace, tell me. What did today?”
you say at lunch
Grace became sober immediately, her little face full of doubts. “Troy, I saw that Erik. He’s not as handsome as you, not as tall as you, not as rich as you. Then why did Imogen divorce you? Do you have a mistress who was discovered by Imogen?“–
“I don’t have any mistress!”
How could this little girl know mistresses?
“All right. Actually, Erik left without having lunch at noon today. He went to the company.”
“What did they say?”
“They didn’t say anything, but he served food for Imogen, and Imogen ate it!”
Troy’s face darkened. “What else?”
Did Imogen really like Erik?
“And he asked Imogen to have lunch with him at noon on Saturday.” Grace giggled. “But I told Imogen I wanted to go together, and Imogen agreed!”
“Smart. Come on. Let’s have dinner.”
Sue had already set the meal on the dining table.
After dinner, Grace sat on the sofa with the white tiger doll in her arms and watched cartoons.
Troy came down from upstairs with his phone. “Grace, a video call from your grandma.”
Grace took the phone in surprise, looked at Emily on the screen, pursed her lips, and kissed her twice. “Grandma! Good evening!”
Seeing that Grace was in a good state of mind, Emily felt relieved. “Grace, how do you feel in New York City?”
“I like New York City very much!”
“I can see that. Where has your uncle taken you to play these two days?”
Grace answered solemnly, “It’s Imogen. Imogen took me to many places. Look!”
She raised the white tiger doll to the camera. “This is the doll Imogen bought for me at the zoo. She bought me three of them! They are so cute!”
Emily’s face darkened. “Imogen? Didn’t your uncle divorce her?”
Grace knew that Emily didn’t like Imogen, so she explained in a low voice, “Froy was too busy, so he asked Imogen to show me around. Grandma, I like to play with Imogen!”
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed across Emily’s eyes, and her face became gloomier. She said in a stern tone, “Troy, are you there? I handed Grace to you, and that’s how you take care of her. You handed her over to an outsider! Aren’t you afraid of anything happening to Grace?”
Grace turned pale and silently put down the tiger doll.
Troy was indeed sitting beside Grace, saying, “Emily, you worry too much. Even though Imogen and I have divorced, she is still the adopted daughter of the Marshall family. So how could she be an outsider?”
“Is she a Forbes or a Marshall? Even blood–related brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Have

you forgotten who the president of the group is now? Are you sure that Imogen has no ambitions?”
Emily became more irritable and said in a sharp and mean voice, “Also, since you have already divorced her, why are you still involved with her? Do you want to remarry or not? What’s wrong with all of you? Are you all bewitched by Imogen? Your grandfather, you, and now Grace! Grace, listen to me. Stop regarding Imogen as your aunt or going out with Imogen again! Otherwise, you’ll lose a grandma!”
“Woo…”
The phone fell on the sofa, and Grace was so frightened that her face became bloodless. She burst into tears, holding the white tiger doll.
She had always acted like a smart and sensible little girl, and it was the first time Troy saw her crying. She bit her lip with weary eyes. Grace didn’t dare to weep but couldn’t help it, which distressed Troy.
Troy immediately hugged Grace to his lap and coaxed her softly, “Grace, it’s okay. Don’t cry. Don’t cry…”
He picked up the phone, looked at Emily displeasedly, and frowned. “Emily, I can tell you clearly. I will not remarry! I am very grateful to you for taking care of me when I was young, but I am already an adult. Please stop interfering in my private affairs! As for Grace, she likes Imogen, and I won’t stop her. She’s just a child, and why do you have to interfere with her preferences?”
Emily retorted angrily, “I can’t interfere in your business. Then why can’t I interfere in Grace’s? I didn’t raise her to turn against me! Grace! Stop crying! If you don’t listen to me, then don’t come back! Go live with Imogen!”
“Woo…” Grace lay in Troy’s arms, crying even more.
Troy’s eyes were sharp. “Then Grace won’t go back. I’ll give her legal status and let her attend school here!”
After speaking, he hung up the video call directly.
With his identity and connections, it would not be a problem to get Grace a legal status, let alone a kindergarten
