Chapter 26.2: Qualifications
Imogen and Liam were childhood friends but only reconnected officially last year. Due to Liam’s busy work schedule, they hadn’t seen each other much in private. Most of their meetings were arranged to eat out or when Imogen visited Liam’s parents‘ home. Liam was unaware of Imogen’s current situation and only knew that she had been adopted by the Marshall Family. Imogen naturally wouldn’t refuse Liam’s offer to visit. After all, Troy was not at home at the moment. She agreed with a smile, “Sure, come to the Midtown Villa area. When you reach the guard, let me know. Oh, and when you come, could you bring me some Roast beef from San Jose Road and a piece of Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte cake from the bakery on the first floor of Times Square?”
“Brother, those two places are quite far away,” Liam protested.
Imogen playfully teased. Can’t you make a detour? Since you want to come and see me, you should show some sincerity.”
Liam laughed, saying, “Okay, okay, I’ll come right now,” with a hint of indulgence in his tone. By the time Liam arrived, it was already approaching noon.
The guard at the community entrance called for a video call to confirm Liam’s entry before allowing him in. By this time, Imogen had already been assisted to the first floor, where she sat in the living room, waiting for Liam.
Liam located the villa based on the house number Imogen had provided. Upon entering, he remarked, “The housing prices here must be quite high, right?”
Imogen smiled, not directly responding to the question as her mind was preoccupied with work matters. She was on a call with her assistant discussing the release of photos for the two teams‘ restaurant cooperation.
As they finalized their conversation, Imogen added, “Listen, you have yesterday’s group photo, right? Pick one where Mr. Marshall and Miss Page don’t appear too close and prepare it for release.”
“Sure, I’ve got it covered,” the assistant replied.
After hanging up, Imogen quickly freshened up before Liam’s arrival.
When she reached her company, her assistant greeted her, saying, “Director Forbes, have you contacted Sarah’s team? What did they say?” Imogen entered the elevator and asked.
“Mr. Marshall has already handed this matter over to the public relations department?” The assistant hesitated and replied, “Yes, that’s correct.”
Imogen pursed her lips tightly, keeping her emotions in check.
As the elevator doors opened on the corresponding floor, Imogen stepped out and came face–to–face with Charlene.
The moment Charlene saw Imogen, her face lit up with a smug smile and a hint of mockery. “Oh, it’s our Director Forbes. Yesterday, Miss Page and Mr. Marshall came together. Did you see that? Someone desperately tried to seduce Mr. Marshall, but he didn’t seem interested in her. He even personally stated that he wasn’t familiar with her. I wouldn’t have the face to stay at Marshall Group of Companies if I were you. It’s really embarrassing.”
Imogen remained composed, seemingly unperturbed by Charlene’s comments. She simply ignored her and walked past her without saying a word.

Upon hearing Charlene’s taunts, Imogen couldn’t help but pause her steps, her curiosity piqued. Charlene approached with a smug smile and continued, “I’ll reveal the truth to you. Mr. Marshall instructed me to use the marketing accounts to disclose that he and Miss Page once had a romantic relationship. Do you understand what that means?” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
A chill ran down Imogen’s spine, and her face turned pale as she felt a sense of unease settling in. Restlessly, she returned to her office.
She picked up her phone and opened the hot search interface again, only to find that the comments had taken a new direction.
Netizens naturally fantasize about a potential relationship involving money and power when a female star is linked to a wealthy businessman.
This was particularly detrimental to Sarah, who had recently returned to China for her career development.
However, the marketing account owners were now posting blogs, revealing Imogen and Troy’s past romantic relationship. They even shared posts and photos from their college days, where they were hailed as the best couple on campus, walking hand in hand, perfectly matched. With the two reuniting, rumors circulated that they intended to continue their relationship.
Furthermore, there had been earlier rumors suggesting that the original spokesperson for the Marshall Group of Companies was supposed to be Xena Wilson, a famous new star, but the position suddenly shifted to Sarah.
It seemed that netizens had finally put the pieces together.
