Chapter 100 The Golden Couple
In the past, Imogen was used to being called brother by his friends and hadn’t corrected it for a while.
When Troy asked him what she should call him, Imogen smiled and said, “What do you want me to call
you?”
“What do you think?”
“Troy.”
Troy smiled and didn’t say anything.
For a moment, he thought Imogen might call him “husband.” But he knew it wouldn’t happen.
They had never referred to each other as husband and wife.
That title was incredibly unfamiliar to them.
As they interacted, Cedric’s expression grew increasingly complex.
Although Riley couldn’t guess the specific details, he could sense that something had happened. He
stepped forward to defuse the situation. “Why are you late today? Were you held up by others?” Troy
replied, “No, I went with Imogen to pick out engagement rings, and it took longer than expected.”
“It’s about time to buy a pair. It’s been so long, and not having rings is unacceptable,” Riley said.
Hector was astonished.
According to Riley’s words, had Troy already married Imogen?
But he wasn’t that surprised either. When Troy entered holding Imogen’s hand, he understood that with
the presence of Henry, it would be difficult for Troy and Imogen not to get married after they had started
a relationship.
However, he also knew that just two days ago, Troy had hosted a luxurious and exquisite birthday
banquet for Sarah. Even though there were no reporters present, a video of the two dancing was
secretly taken and circulated on the Internet, sparking a small discussion. The screen was filled with
comments about the golden couple, and the Celebrity Insider was going crazy.
Today, Troy brought Imogen to buy engagement rings and met their friends.
“I told you, Mr. Marshall would never marry Sarah,” Someone whispered in the corner.
“The entertainment industry is chaotic, and it’s even wilder overseas. Sarah is a foreigner, if she wants
to continue developing abroad, she must pay some price, right?”
“That’s true. Troy is just playing around with Sarah.”

said.
After knowing Troy for so many years, Hector understood his character well and knew that he wasn’t
the type to play with other people’s emotions.
Despite thinking this way, Hector couldn’t help but be puzzled.
In his eyes, Troy and Sarah were clearly a perfect match, and Troy had no connection with Imogen.
How did things suddenly change like this?
But no matter how confused they were, they wouldn’t show it.
They maintained their composure, and someone jokingly teased Troy, “What did you pick? Did you

choose a pigeon egg?”
Others began complimenting Imogen. “Haven’t seen Imogen for a long time, and she looks even more
beautiful now.”
Riley suggested, “We’re bored. How about playing a few rounds of cards? It’s been a while since I’ve
played.”
Everyone looked at Troy.
“Alright, I’ll play a couple of rounds with you guys.” Troy smiled and stood. up.
The private room was equipped with various entertainment facilities, and the group moved toward the
card table.
Cedric declined to play. In the end, the four people sitting at the table were Troy, Riley, Hector, and
another young man
The others gathered around another table nearby, while two people brought chairs and sat behind the
group to watch them play.
Someone kindly helped Imogen move a chair and placed it behind Troy.
Imogen thanked him and took a seat on the chair.
Troy glanced back at Imogen and asked, “Do you know how to play cards?”
Imogen nodded. “I played when I was young, but I don’t know if the rules are the same as the ones you
play.”
Her skills were taught by her grandfather.
Her grandfather was an ordinary farmer who went to the city to work when he was young and returned
to the countryside to farm when he grew old, doing odd jobs for others. He was busy all year round,
and the only time he could rest was during the Christmas holidays.
In the cold winter, when people didn’t want to leave their houses, they would huddle together with the
villagers to play cards. The stakes were low, and the wins and losses were not significant.
Imogen loved to bring a small stool and sit behind her grandfather, watching him play cards. After
watching for a long time, she learned how to play.
“You’ll understand after watching a couple of rounds.”
Not long after, Troy’s phone rang.
He took out his phone from his pocket, glanced at the screen, and saw that it was a business call. He
stood up and walked outside, saying to Imogen, “Play a couple of rounds for me.”
After watching a few rounds, Imogen understood the rules and nodded. “Okay.”
After sitting down in Troy’s seat, she dealt a few cards. Imogen belatedly asked, “How much are you
playing for?”
Hector raised two fingers.
Imogen raised an eyebrow.
Riley explained, “Twenty thousand dollars.”
Imogen was amazed and became even more serious.
At the staircase in the corridor, Troy hung up the phone and turned to see Cedric standing not far
away.
“Why did you come out?” Troy asked.

“Just came out for some fresh air,” Cedric walked up and stopped beside Troy. “Troy, I know I might be
overstepping, but I still want to ask, what are your plans?”
Seeing Troy remain silent, Cedric asked, “Do you plan on keeping Sarah as a mistress for the rest of
your life?”
“No,” Troy replied.
“Then when do you plan on divorcing Imogen? Your grandfather’s side…”
Troy interrupted him, saying, “Sarah and I have no relationship. We won’t have any relationship in the
future.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCedric was stunned.
“But… but last time you brought Sarah to meet us, and the media even caught you a few times?” All of
that seemed to indicate that he wanted to rekindle his relationship with Sarah. Cedric was extremely
confused.
Previously, Troy did indeed have that intention. At that time, he thought he still loved Sarah. Now,
looking back, it wasn’t necessarily the case.
Matters of the heart were somewhat complicated, and all he knew now was that he didn’t want to
divorce Imogen.
Looking at Cedric’s expression, Troy said, “That’s all in the past. I’ve already made it clear to her.
Whether she stays in the country or goes abroad, it’s up to her.”
Cedric didn’t know what to say as he looked at Troy.
He never expected things to turn out this way.
Troy wanted to separate from Sarah, which was something he had never considered.
He still remembered when they were in their junior year, in the early hours of the morning when Troy’s
stomach ailment recurred, causing him to pale, sweat profusely, and Sarah came out in the middle of
the night to buy medicine for him.
And at the graduation ceremony, those sparkling crystal shoes, luxurious and dazzling, captivated
everyone’s envy as they looked at Sarah.
The beautiful couple attracted some discussion on the university’s forum at the time, and many people
didn’t think highly of their relationship, but they quietly got through their college years together.
Cedric didn’t know what had happened between them and why they broke up, and why Sarah had to
go abroad.
But he knew that their reunion this time was not easy, and before, they probably had intentions of
rekindling their relationship. However, he didn’t expect that Imogen would come between them. Troy,
on the other hand, remained indifferent and calm. He patted Cedric’s shoulder and said, “Don’t think
too much. I’m going back now.”
“Wait,” Cedric called out to him.
Troy turned his head.
Cedric walked up to him and looked into his eyes. “Troy, have you really decided? Have you decided to
give up on Sarah?”
