Reborn Team up with the CEO for Revenge!

Chapter 329.2 Mastermind Leo (2)

“Aren’t you concerned that Troy might hold this against you if he discovered your visit?” Yohan asked.

“I’m doing it for his benefit. He’ll come to understand it later,” Emily replied with conviction.

A glimmer of mockery danced in Yohan’s eyes. “Could it be that Troy’s rebellion against you over Imogen pushed you to consider partnering with someone like me? Are you willing to have Troy resent you just to break him and Imogen apart?”

Embarrassment washed over Emily as she continued, “Now that we’ve come this far. If you disagree…”

“Imogen will be heading to the police station this morning.” Yohan raised his hand and sipped his coffee.

Although Yohan resented Emily for breaking up his parent’s marriage, which ultimately led to his mother’s depression and tragic end, he couldn’t deny that Emily’s words had struck a chord with

him.

Yohan’s attitude toward Imogen gradually evolved from indifference to determination, driven by his affection for her and his thirst for revenge against Troy.

A hint of satisfaction flickered in Emily’s eyes. “I understand,” she said.

Imogen arrived at the police station around nine o’clock.

When she asked to visit Sarah, the officer hesitated briefly. “Sarah is implicated in two criminal cases. Technically, visits aren’t permitted. Ms. Forbes, what if you were to speak directly with the Commissioner? We would require the Commissioner’s approval.”

Imogen presumed that Frank had merely overlooked informing his subordinates yesterday. “Is he available at the moment?”

Since they were already at the police station, making another phone call would be impolite.

The officer nodded and replied, “Commissioner is upstairs.”

“Alright.”

Imogen turned and ascended the stairs to the second floor.

The door to Frank’s office wasn’t tightly closed, with a small

Imogen could hear a familiar voice from a distance.

gap remaining.

“Leo is the eldest grandson of the Marshall family. We can’t just stand by and watch him fall in flames.

“It’s just an old and forgotten case anyway. Besides Imogen, no one cares about it. Troy is undoubtedly siding with his brother. The idea must have come from him. Everything is impeccable, even Imogen believes it. Mr. Cross, please be understanding, Imogen won’t suspect anything.

“You must have heard about Troy’s relationship with Sarah. Despite their breakup, they are still linked in the eyes of the public. Now that Sarah is involved in a criminal case, it’s not good for Troy’s image. So, Troy wants to sever ties with her. A few more years in prison won’t matter. No one will help her overturn the case. We’ll compensate her when she gets out.

“If this plan succeeds, the Marshall family will surely express their gratitude.”

Frank responded, “Mrs. Emily Marshall, I understand your emotions, but I’m afraid I cannot

accommodate your demands. When I put on this uniform, I must uphold its standards!”

Emily’s words hit Imogen like a barrage, each sentence sinking in with a chilling effect.

Though Imogen was dressed warmly, surrounded by heating, she felt like she was in a frozen wasteland, trembling from the cold, her teeth chattering.

“It’s just an old and forgotten case anyway. Besides Imogen, no one cares about it.” These words echoed in her mind.

“Troy is undoubtedly siding with his brother. The idea must have come from him. Everything is impeccable, even Imogen believes it.” Imogen repeated to herself, trying to make sense of the situation.

So… Leo was the mastermind behind her father’s death?

Did Troy intentionally keep it a secret after learning about Leo’s involvement, buying time to find a way to shift blame and cooperate with others in a cover–up?

Shifting blame onto someone else wasn’t a realistic option, and Sarah recently confided in Blake, allowing Troy to manipulate the situation.

Imogen would never believe Troy capable of such actions at any other time, but Leo was his older brother.

On one side stood his brother, the one he had grown up with, and on the other side was his former father–in–law, who had passed away a decade ago. It was evident whom Troy would choose…

If he could engineer a scheme involving Erik and Ann, there was no guarantee he wouldn’t do something similar this time….

Could Emily’s words, spoken in person, be anything but accurate?

Could Emily have somehow foreseen Imogen’s arrival and spoken to Frank in a way that seemed like she was addressing Imogen, all in an attempt to drive a wedge between herself and Troy?

Was such a scheme even feasible?

A sharp, searing pain pierced Imogen’s chest, an ache that tore at her heart. A bitter lump lodged – in her throat, and she tightly compressed her lips, forcing down the bitterness.

Her nose tingled, and her eyes suddenly welled up with tears, a misty veil settling over her vision.

She blinked repeatedly, gazing up, inhaling deeply, and taking a sniff.

She had indeed forgotten the pain after the wound had healed. How could she forget what kind of person Troy was just because of his favour?

He was a master at playing a role.

She couldn’t blame him for leaning toward Leo. It was only human nature.

But how could he simultaneously cover for the person responsible for her father’s death while trying to appease her and make her happy?

It was an act that seemed incredibly convincing.

Once again, Imogen had been deceived by Troy.
