Chapter 358.2 The Fates Conspired Against Him II

Leo had always treated Troy as the illegitimate child of his father, secretly believing that he was superior in status and the Marshall Group should be his. He blamed Troy’s existence for indirectly causing the death of his parents.

Although Henry had suppressed these feelings to a large extent, they were still buried in a dark corner of his heart, making him vulnerable to manipulation.

“Grandma, you did all this for our own good.”

In the eyes of Henry and Layla, it was unnecessary to disrupt the harmony between the brothers. Who could have imagined that such a thing would happen?

“About your mother, Emily, she has had a difficult time abroad all these years. Don’t blame her.”

Troy, with a calm face, still remembered what Emily had done before she left. He said, “As long as she no longer interferes in my personal matters and no longer stops me from being with Imogen, I will treat her as a mother.”

“Okay.” Layla nodded. “Alright, you can go now. I’m tired and want to be alone for a while.”

“Okay, Grandma, take good care of yourself,” Troy said, rising from his seat and leaving the room. Stepping out, Troy saw Imogen standing by the window on the second floor. With her flowing dress, she looked like a fairy and seemed that she would soon ascend to the heavens.

Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, Imogen turned to look. Before Imogen could speak, Troy took strides towards her and enveloped her in his embrace.

He buried his head in the nape of her neck, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.

Imogen was taken aback and pushed him away gently. “Troy, what’s wrong

She thought, “His reaction is strange. What did Grandma tell him?”

Without receiving a response, Imogen asked again, “Troy?”

After a few seconds, Troy let go of her and said, “It’s nothing.”

with you?”

Revealing such identity was something he didn’t want to do in front of the person he loved.

Imogen gave him a skeptical look and asked, “What did Grandma tell you about Leo?”

“She said that she didn’t educate Leo well, reminiscing about the past and feeling a bit melancholic.”

Imogen glanced at him and turned downstairs.

It was almost time for Grace to finish kindergarten, so Troy directly asked the driver to pick up Grace. Together, they went to a restaurant for dinner.

Halfway through the meal, Troy’s phone rang.

He took it out from the inner pocket of his suit, and Emily’s name appeared on the screen.

“I take the call.”

Troy got up and left the private room.

Staring at the familiar name, he pressed the answer button at the last moment.

“Hello? Troy?”

Came the familiar voice of a woman.

After a brief pause, the woman continued, “You don’t have to say anything. I know you’re

listening. You now know your true identity, right?”

Troy responded softly, “Hmm, what do you want?”

She didn’t expect Troy to greet her so coldly, even after he knew his true identity. Emily was annoyed inwardly but patiently said, “Troy, I want to go back and see you. Let’s have a proper reunion as mother and son…”

“It’s not possible.”

Troy firmly refused without any hesitation. “You stay abroad, and I still think of you as my mother. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being heartless.”

In his childhood, he had once dreamed of a mother’s warmth.

But now, as a thirty–year–old man, Troy could do without a mother.

If Emily remained quiet and well–behaved, he would still treat her as his mother.

But if she wanted to play the role of a nagging mother in front of Imogen, then she shouldn’t blame him for being impolite.

Emily was shocked, angry, and puzzled. “Troy, I am your mother! How can you treat me like this? Is it because of Imogen? Stop fooling yourself!

“Think about it, Leo killed her father. The enmity of patricide is irreconcilable. How could she not bear a grudge? You’re the only one who’s dreaming if you think she would be with you!”
