Chapter 59 The Unloved One Is the Homewrecker
Imogen’s body stiffened, and she felt a tightness in her chest that made it hard to breathe. A sharp pain seized her like a knife cutting through her heart.
She was aware of the problem but didn’t want to think about it.
“Because Troy deliberately kept it from you,” Sarah’s voice was triumphant, as though she were a demon from hell. “Did you really think that Troy accidentally took your phone that day? No, it was intentional. He said that you’d surely want to clear your name if you saw the news. So he took your phone and even told Sue not to mention it in front of you.
“Do you know why no one is helping you clear the matter? Because Troy won’t let them. He personally went to Grandpa and Grandma and suppressed any efforts to clarify the issue. Do you know why he did this? Because he refuses to let me be called the homewrecker. In his heart, I’m his wife, the one he loves most.
“And you? You’re just someone unimportant to him, someone he can easily push aside to take the blame for me. In his heart, you’re the homewrecker. In love, the one who isn’t loved is the homewrecker.”
Imogen’s head was buzzing.
She couldn’t believe it.
Frantically, she opened her phone and found the Facebook app. She scrolled down to the conversation with Charlie.
The unfamiliar messages in the chat made her heart sink with coldness.
Everything Sarah had said was true.
In the chat, Charlie had messaged her on Facebook: [Did you see what’s trending? You and Mr. Marshall were photographed together. If I didn’t know you two aren’t in that kind of relationship, I’d believe it.]
Imogen had replied coldly: [Thanks, I know. I’ll handle it.]
But Imogen knew very well that she hadn’t sent that reply.
She scrolled down further, and similar replies appeared in chats with other friends.
There were several call records from that day on the call history page. But Imogen remembered she hadn’t gotten her phone back until after her car accident, so she hadn’t answered any calls. It was all Troy’s doing.
He’d been hiding it from her all along.
No wonder.
No wonder when they went to the Courthouse to get their divorce papers, Troy suddenly mentioned the car accident and apologized.
No wonder he always advised her to look at her phone less, saying it was bad for her No wonder he often asked about her eyes.
He wasn’t concerned about her.
eyes.
He was just afraid she would see those messages, afraid she would see the news and clear her name, which might affect his beloved Sarah.
He loved Sarah so much that he could twist the truth, making Imogen, his wife, take on the label

of being the homewrecker, being blamed and attacked.
After so many days, the matter had settled. Imogen realized it was too late to speak up now, as people would think she felt guilty.
Perhaps when he heard about her car accident and that she couldn’t see clearly, Troy felt relieved that he could keep his secret a little longer.
Imogen’s hands trembled as she held her phone. A sour taste rose in her throat, and her heart. ached as if being drilled.
Imogen had known all along that Troy would do anything for Sarah.
But she had underestimated Troy’s coldness.
On the one hand, Troy did everything he could to hide the truth from Imogen for Sarah’s sake. On the other hand, he was acting as a loving husband to Imogen, like a profoundly affectionate couple.
What was laughable was that Imogen had believed it. She had fallen for it.
She really was the biggest fool in the world.
Once again, Imogen had been deceived by Troy’s acting, played for a fool by him.
Imogen gave a bitter smile. She finally understood that only she had taken Henry’s words. seriously, thinking there was a chance to salvage their marriage.
But in Troy’s heart, perhaps he only wanted to put on a show for Henry, to make Henry happy. without ever intending to have a sincere relationship with her.
Troy never considered giving up on Sarah.
Perhaps once Henry passed away, Troy and Imogen would still only have the option of divorce.
If Troy loved Sarah so much, why did he agree to Henry’s request? Why didn’t he just make things clear with Imogen?
Imogen wanted Henry to be happy during this time. She promised to act with Troy and not to bother him.
Imogen didn’t get her hopes up, so she wouldn’t be disappointed.
Seeing Imogen’s reaction, Sarah felt overjoyed. “Imogen, you should understand by now that you mean nothing to Troy. I am the one in his heart. Even though he agreed to get along with you for Grandpa’s health, in the end, he will be with me. I know you like him, so cherish these last moments with him. I promise not to fight you for him.”
Imogen closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “Are you done? If you are, I will leave.”
She didn’t want to stay in this place, feeling like a failure and helpless.
“Wait.” Sarah grabbed her hand.
Imogen impatiently shook it off.
“Ah!
Sarah screamed as she stumbled, almost falling.
Troy, who had appeared out of nowhere, quickly supported Sarah. Concerned, he asked, “Sarah, are you okay?”
Seeing the handsome man and beautiful woman in front of her, Imogen felt it was ridiculous.
She was so foolish.

She knew Troy only loved Sarah, yet she hoped he would change his mind.
How foolishly deluded she was!
“Troy, I’m fine,” Sarah said as she steadied herself, speaking softly. “It’s not Imogen’s fault. I fell on my own.”
Troy looked up at Imogen, meeting her cold eyes. He didn’t know why, but he suddenly shivered in his heart. Suppressing his thoughts, he said sternly, “Imogen, apologize to Sarah!”
Troy was so biased!
He didn’t ask for any explanation and simply asked Imogen to apologize to Sarah.
Imogen’s lips tightened as she stared at Troy. Slowly, she stepped forward.
Troy looked into her eyes. “Apologize.”
“Slap!”
A loud slap echoed in the air.
Sarah held her breath, unable to believe what she saw.
“Troy, are you okay?”
The slap caught him off guard, and Troy turned his head from the force. His face now bore five distinct finger marks.
Imogen, expressionless, withdrew her hand and walked past them, quickly leaving.
Troy seemed to be stunned by the slap. He stood in silence for a long time before regaining his composure. Imogen was already out of sight.
Sarah gently tugged at his sleeve. “Troy, are you alright? I know Imogen hates me. She can hit me, yell at me, and I will accept it, but why would she take it out on you?”
Troy looked at Sarah. “What did you two say to each other?”
“Nothing much. I just wanted to apologize to her. Those news reports were so damaging, and Imogen got blamed. I feel guilty about it. If she wanted, I could even help her clarify the situation. But I didn’t expect her to be so angry…”
Hearing this, Troy’s eyes darkened. A sudden panic surged within him.
Imogen finally found out about it.
She knew about that day….
He had always known that he couldn’t keep the secret forever. If it weren’t for Imogen’s accident, she might have found out that very night. He didn’t delete the chat and call records he had used to reply on Imogen’s behalf.
He was prepared for her to replace out.
But now that the moment had come, he felt a sudden, inexplicable agitation.
Seeing Troy’s expression, Sarah asked, “Troy, did I do something wrong? I’ll apologize to Imogen.” “There’s no need,” Troy said, looking at her. “You don’t need to deal with this anymore. I will handle it. I’ll take you home now. After what happened today, Grandpa is already upset. You’re going to join the production team soon, so I may not be able to visit you regularly.”
