Chapter 285

Chapter 285 There Was a Mole Among Them

Imogen was going to Sarah’s studio tomorrow. She wanted to let Troy take care of Grace when she wasn’t around.

Emily would definitely want to take her back to Lyon once she came back from the tour. What would Troy choose at that time, letting her stay or giving in to Emily?

She glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Troy’s car following behind.

She texted him and then said to Alex, “Alex, stop the car over there. I and Grace will get off.” “Should I wait for you?‘

“No, I have something to say to Troy.”

“Okay.” Alex parked the car on the side of the road.

Imogen and Grace got out of the car, and Alex quickly drove away before Troy’s car stopped in front of them.

She opened the back door and got in with Grace.

Troy held the steering wheel with his big hand, revealing an expensive watch on his wrist. He took off the bluetooth headset and looked in the rearview mirror. “What’s for dinner?”

“Whatever you feel like.”

“Grace, what about you?”

She tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, “I want hamburgers.”

“Okay. Let’s go get some hamburgers.”

Eating like a gourmand, Grace had her mouth covered with oil.

Imogen took the opportunity to ask, “Grace, how about you going back with Troy today?”

She was stunned. She took a glance at Troy and then another one at Imogen and blinked her big eyes. “Why?”

“Because I will be too busy to take care of you in the next few days.”

Before she said anything, Troy asked, “What are you going to be busy with?”

Imogen ignored his question and continued to say to Grace, “I’m going to work on something very important. I’ll come back for you after I finish my job, okay?”

She nodded. “Okay. But please be quick because I will miss you.”

“Sure, I will finish it as soon as possible.”

Having comforted Grace, she took a glance at Troy’s curious expression and continued to eat calmly without any intention of answering him.

He pursed his lips, acting all calm, but he was, in fact, about to be driven crazy.

His phone rang, and he went out to answer it.

The call was from Yann.

After Imogen received the threat that day, she asked security to check the surveillance. The person who knocked on her door was a man in black. He wrapped himself tightly so that no one could tell his identity. He elaborately avoided all the cameras.

It took Yann some time to find out the identity of him. He was a gangster from a bar. When he was arrested and questioned, he confessed that someone had told him to do it. That person was hiding

in the dark, so he didn’t know who he was, either. Having been interrogated for a long time, he finally revealed that the man had six fingers on his left hand. Although he had always kept his left hand hidden in his sleeve, the gangster still saw it.

Troy frowned with a bit of worry.

Imogen was threatened when she secretly investigated the kidnapping case.

Apart from her reasons for investigating, he felt restless that the kidnapper was still out there, not brought to justice.

Even though the police’s deployment was perfect at the time, he still escaped.

That was when Troy started to suspect that there was a mole among them.

He knew a person with six fingers on his left hand, Leo’s chauffeur. Could he be the mole?

What role did Leo play?

Yann added, “She recently met the director in charge of the case. I heard from insiders that the case seemed to be related to the death of her father. It seemed that her father was murdered for taking some photos…”

Troy was shocked after hearing this.

Ignacio didn’t die from an accident!

He was furious that she hadn’t told him about such a dangerous thing. Why did she take the risk alone?

Was he really so untrustworthy that she couldn’t wait to disassociate herself from him?

While he was angry, he also felt a bit sympathetic.

She had loved her father so much. It must have been hard for her to accept the truth that her most beloved one was murdered.

She was quite a serious person.

She was serious about everything.

She always concentrated on what she was doing, whether it was studying, working, or enjoying life. She treated people she cared about seriously and never forgot anyone that had ever been in her life.

She was trying to avenge her father in her own way and would never give up, even if it had been ten years since Ignacio’s death. She was still persisting, not fearing that she might end up just like him.

Troy hung up the phone, smoked a cigarette, and returned indoors.

Imogen was discussing with Grace why crabs walk sideways.

He looked deeply at her fair and beautiful face with a complex expression.

Before the dinner was finished, Grace was already sleepy.

Troy carried her into the back seat and started the car.

It was past nine o’clock in the evening. The lights of the street outside the car window were blurred as the car drove, and the sound of car horns went past them from time to time.

It was quiet inside the car. Nothing other than the sound of breathing could be heard.

Troy said in a low voice, “What are you going to do?”

Imogen didn’t answer. She asked instead, “I remember that Ms. Emily Marshall said she wanted to

take Grace back with her after her tour was over. What’s your opinion about it? Do you agree or

not?”

“No, I don’t. I won’t let her take her.”

“I’m afraid she won’t give up.”

“I will take care of it.” He glanced at her from the rearview mirror and said, “You haven’t answered my question yet.”

“There is no need to report my private matters to you.” She said casually.

“Then let me put it another way. That day in the restaurant, it was Sarah who pushed you down. the stairs, and she was the one who hit you. Why didn’t

you tell me?”

Lane called him and told him this while he was driving back from Leeds City.

She raised her eyebrows and said, “Why should I tell you? Don’t you love her? You didn’t even blame her for killing grandpa. Would you really care that she hurt me a little bit?”

He pursed his lips and sighed helplessly. “You’ve mistaken it. I don’t love her. Even if you didn’t want me to help you, why did you not stop her from treating you like this?”

She said nothing, looking at the street lights outside the window.

She surely couldn’t bear her, but there was nothing she could do.

He guessed that her tolerance towards Sarah might be related to the case.

She had always held a grudge against Sarah because of Henry’s death. In order to avenge her father, she could endure being pushed off the stairs and slapped by Sarah. He felt heartbroken when he learned it. At the same time, he was also angry with her for pushing him away. She would rather take all the pressure alone than let him help.

“Imogen, are you hiding something from me recently? Are you investigating the kidnapping case? Why?” He couldn’t help asking.

Before she could figure out how to answer him, Grace turned over next to her, seeming to be waking up.

She quickly patted her lightly.

Grace fell asleep, but she didn’t stop patting until they reached Galaxy Villa.

He didn’t speak anymore. He looked ahead and drove with all his attention.

The car stopped at the entrance of the villa. She saw his intentions and said, “Give me the car keys, and I will go home by myself.”

He remained silent, got out of the car, carried Grace upstairs, and took the car keys with him.

A few minutes later, he returned to the car and started it to send her back.

“Can you answer now? Why are you investigating that kidnapping case?” He asked again.

She rubbed her forehead irritably. “It has nothing to do with you.”
