Chapter 286 Are You Investigating Me Again
Troy pursed his lips, stared at Imogen in the rearview mirror, and gritted his teeth as he asked, “Nothing to do with me?”
He had given her the chance to tell the truth.
She would rather take the risk of being retaliated than tell him the truth!
Was he so unworthy of her trust and reliance?
Did she not cherish her life at all?
She raised her eyes and saw him suppressing his anger. She ignored his dissatisfaction and said, “It really has nothing to do with you. Also, how did you know that I am investigating the kidnapping case? Are you investigating me again? We haven’t talked about you following me to Leeds City yet!”
Being retorted by her, he was so angry that he gripped the steering wheel more tightly with veins on his hands bulging. “I investigated you because you were threatened. I followed you to Leeds City because you were injured the night before, and I was worried. Now, I just want to help you!”
She smiled and said, “Troy, you did all this because you wanted me to give you something back. But I can’t give you the reward you want, so I won’t accept your help.”
He stared at her bitterly. “Is this how you think of me?”
In her eyes, he wanted to help her because, in this way, he could force her to be with him.
Therefore, she would rather be retaliated and risk losing her life like Ignacio than be with him.
She asked, “Was I wrong?”
Gloomy as he heard it, he responded with silence. He just kept driving in depression.
It was quiet and depressing in the car.
She put her hands in her pockets, leaned against the back of the seat, looked out the window in boredom, and didn’t say anything.
When they arrived at her apartment, he parked on the side of the road and stared at her through the rearview mirror in silence.
She tried to open the door, only to replace it locked up. She turned to meet his eyes in the rearview mirror as if she didn’t sense his emotions. She raised her eyebrows and said, “Unlock the door.”
He unlocked it, and she pushed it open, got out of the car without saying anything, and entered the building.
He watched her walk away until she disappeared around the corner.
He turned back his eyes, stared gloomily at somewhere ahead, and suddenly slammed the steering wheel.
Charlie hadn’t rested yet. Seeing Imogen back home, she asked, “Is Grace sent away?”
“Yeah.” She put on her slippers, took off her coat, picked up the mug on the table, and poured herself a cup of coffee.
“She should be going back to France, right?”
She paused, took a sip of water, and said, “Troy wants her to stay here.”
“What? Won’t you have to see him often?”
“Yes…”

Charlie put on a complicated expression. “I think you will hardly get rid of that dimwit.”
She sighed and leaned lazily on the sofa. “Just take it one step at a time.”
No matter how hard he pestered her, she would never agree to marry him again.
He once hysterically said that he would stay single forever if she refused to marry
She didn’t care if he really stopped seeing other women.
Besides, the most important thing for her now was to avenge her father.
“By the way, is Chad mixed–race?” She changed the subject.
him.
Charlie was stunned for a moment. “How is that possible? I don’t think he is because I have met his parents before. Why do you think so?”
“It’s nothing. I had this feeling when I met him.” She smiled.
Early the next morning. Imogen went to Sarah’s studio.
Sarah had always had her own studio, but after the event, there were only three people left in the studio, including herself.
The studio was in an office building. The girl in charge of operations had probably learned from Sarah that she would come, so when Imogen got there, she took a few glances at her and said expressionlessly, “Sarah said that you can replace her on the set when you get here. She’s currently filming there.”
Imogen went to the address given by the girl. Along the way, she searched the Internet for information about the TV play that Sarah was working on.
She was currently acting in a costume drama.
Without Troy’s help, her career was not as smooth as before. She was just a small role with few scenes in this play, and she didn’t have any choice anymore.
When Imogen arrived at the set, she sent a message to Sarah. A few minutes later, a staff member wearing an ID card on her neck led her in.
Sarah was wearing a costume and a down jacket. While communicating with the director with the script in her hands, she glanced outside from time to time.
Seeing Imogen come in, she smiled and waved to her. “Douglass, let me introduce to you my assistant, who is also a stuntwoman, Imogen. She will do the performances that I can’t do.” Imogen smiled and greeted the director while secretly giving her a questioning look.
Didn’t she say that she would be her assistant? Since when had she become a stuntwoman?
Sarah smiled and ignored her.
Imogen stood aside and listened as Douglass talked.
When he went to communicate with others, she finally found the opportunity and asked Sarah in a low voice, “You said that I’ll be your assistant. Why am I now a stuntwoman? I can’t act!” She crossed her arms leisurely and slightly raised her head. “You will do whatever I ask you to do. If you don’t like it, you can leave at any time.”
Imogen pursed her lips tightly, clenched her hands into fists, and stared at her with suppressed
anger.
She knew that she would obey, so she raised her eyebrows and smiled as if she had won a battle. She put the script in Imogen’s hand and said, “Hold it.”

Imogen had learned about the work of artist assistants before coming here. Most actors were kind and would not ask their assistants to hold the scripts for them, but there were also some demanding actors who would do so.
Sarah was bound to make things difficult for her. Not surprised, she held the script for Sarah to read as she practiced.
“Higher. I can’t even read it clearly.” Sarah scolded.
She thus raised her hands a little bit.
Sarah then stopped talking to her.
Not long after, she began to feel sore in her arms and started trembling.
It wasn’t until the set manager came to tell Sarah to start filming that she finally put down her arms and shook it.
Sarah took off her down jacket and threw it over.
She hurriedly caught it and was shocked to see the costume Sarah was wearing.
The costume was sexy and revealing, with her chest and thighs exposed.
Judging from the costumes and makeup, it didn’t seem like she was playing a positive character.
In this scene, Sarah was acting with the male protagonist.
From their lines, she deduced that Sarah was playing a mistress who would definitely seduce the male protagonist later!
On the other side of the set, Douglass was sitting in front of the monitor, and his assistant whispered something in his ear.
He looked at Imogen surprisedly as he learned about her identity.
When Troy divorced his ex–wife, there were rumors in the industry that Sarah would quit showbiz and marry him. But she soon unexpectedly returned and took a hit in her career. Everyone understood what had happened.
Ever since then, everyone in the industry switched their attitudes towards her.
But it seemed that Imogen had taken the initiative to be her assistant.
Douglass whispered to his assistant, “Just pretend you don’t know anything about it and keep on the work as usual.”
