Imogen’s eyes were fixed on the screen as she scrolled through Instagram. She called out Liam’s
name and inquired “Liam, remember that drama series you mentioned the other day? Is that the one you‘ re currently involved with?”
Liam nodded, saying, “Yes, that’s the one.”
Imogen’s face lit up with a smile as she said, “I’m so happy you got the character Go for it and aim to win the Best Actor award.”

Liam had earned a reputation for his versatility in tackling various roles and styles, setting him. apart from other young actors and making him stand out.
In a recent suspenseful drama, Liam portrayed the male lead and received praise from all quarters for his performance.
“Do you aspire me to win the ‘Best Actor‘ title?” Liam asked.
“Absolutely! Who wouldn’t want to be recognized for their acting skills?” Imogen replied.
“You‘ re right. I’ll work hard to earn it, and I can’t wait to share my success with you,” Liam declared.
After ending the conversation with Liam, Imogen continued to scroll through Instagram. She stumbled upon another post that caught her attention. It featured Troy and Sarah.
Staring at the post, Imogen could probably guess its content, but she couldn’t resist clicking it. As expected, it was indeed about a couple.
Sarah’s return to Canada was highlighted by her role as the female lead in Cloudwater City, a drama supported by Star Entertainment, a subsidiary of the Marshall Group.
With such a connection between Star Entertainment‘ s investment in Cloudwater City and Sarah. playing the female lead, fans and even Imogen found it hard to believe there was no correlation.

One netizen skillfully edited a video featuring Sarah and Troy in a modern drama, using financial news as the backdrop. The clever storytelling captured the hearts of many fans, who watched and left messages.
As the video reached its dark end, Imogen realized she had been holding her breath for some
reason.
Unable to resist the intrigue, Imogen even created a small account to follow the couple’s super talk.
While still scrolling through Instagram, Imogen suddenly received a Facebook message from Charlie.
[Imogen, are you okay now? I just saw what happened on Instagram, and it’s really annoying.]
Before she could finish reading the message, more messages from Charlie flooded in.
[Sarah’s team is really shameless. They even attributed all the faults to you, goody–two–shoes.]
Chapter 311 Disputes
Using her Facebook nickname “Hot and Cold,” Imogen replied, [I‘ m fine. I felt pretty angry when I first saw it, but I’ve already calmed down now.]
Charlie’s Facebook nickname, “Sugar,” again appeared on Imogen‘ s phone screen.
Sugar: [Why don’t you hit back and let them face the consequences on Instagram?]
Imogen disapproved of Charlie’s suggestion.
Hot and Cold: [After all, we are collaborators, and internal strife is not good.]
Sugar: [This is not like your temperament. Is there someone behind Sarah influencing her actions?]
Sugar: [Damn it]
Sugar: [Mr. Marshall is really mediocre. He can’t tell right from wrong at such a young age.] Hot and Cold: [Let‘ snor dwell on this matter. Let them curse. It’ll blow over in a few days.] Charlie could not control her temper and impulsively posted a blog, stating: [Someone is really a goody–two–shoes. She insisted on bringing her own make–up artist. As a result, they failed to make up and immediately blamed others.]
Since Charlie’s Instagram account was verified and had hundreds of thousands of fans, including many Make–up artists, her blog post was bound to attract attention. And at this critical moment, as soon as the post was published, everyone would know that it was about Sarah.
The marketing account owners copied Charlie’s blog posts, subtly implying that there was some hidden secret involved.
As a result, some fans discovered Charlie’s Instagram account and engaged in heated discussions in the comment section.
In response to the situation, the studio manager personally called Imogen, assuring her that they had identified the internal staff responsible for leaking the images and took appropriate disciplinary action.

Chapter 31.2: Disputes
After contemplating for a moment, Imogen decided to send a message to Alex.
Hot and Cold: [Hey, Alex, do you have the edited photos ready now?]
[Yes, would you like to use them now?]
Hot and Cold: [Absolutely, send me one. It’s from the first day of the shoot.]
Alex swiftly sent a photo to Imogen. The image, captured from a photographer’s perspective, looked remarkably different from the leaked photos. After some touch–ups in Photoshop, it exuded a unique and captivating vibe.
Imogen shared the edited picture with her assistant, instructing: [Take a snippet of the photo and post it on McKesson official blog account. But don’t send the original picture.]
The assistant promptly followed Imogen’s directions and posted an Instagram caption on the official account with the attached edited photo:
[A sneak peek of the new endorsement ~Sarah looks stunning~]
The comments below the official blog post were positive and filled with fans expressing their admiration for the picture.
The issue was quickly resolved, and it turned out not to be a significant concern after all.
Imogen‘ s leg had also recovered, and she returned to work at the company on Wednesday. As she walked out of the bathroom and passed by the elevator, the doors opened, and to her surprise, Troy and several secretaries stepped out of the elevator.
Upon seeing Imogen, Mr. Jordan, and the others greeted her quickly with warm smiles, addressing her as “Director Forbes.”
Imogen acknowledged their greetings with a slight nod, then turned her head to greet Troy, saying, “Mr. Marshall.”
Troy responded with a thoughtful “Hmm,” as he looked at Imogen.
After the brief exchange, Imogen said her farewells, stating, “I’ll head back and get busy for
now.‘
With that, she left the scene.
Around mid–morning, Imogen received a call from Troy‘ s insider. She let the landline ring for a moment before answering, “Hello, Mr. Marshall. Do you need something?”
“Come to my office during lunchtime,” Troy commanded.
“I was actually planning to have lunch in the employee cafeteria.”
“I’ve already arranged for your lunch to be brought here.”
“All right,” Imogen agreed.
At noon, the employees left their offices punctually and walked together to the employee restaurant. With only a few people around, Imogen left her office and headed straight to the CEO’s office.
She didn’t bother to knock and simply pushed the door open. The coffee table inside the CEO’s office was already set with today’s lunch. The packaging showed that it was a specially ordered meal, boasting appealing colors, a delightful aroma, and an appetizing taste.

“Please, take a seat,” Troy gestured, picking up a square box and placing it in front of Imogen, saying, “I brought you a gift to see if you like it.”
Imogen picked it up and opened the box, revealing a delicate women’s watch with a small square dark blue watch face and exquisite craftsmanship.
“Not bad,” she commented, trying it on her wrist and showing it to Troy.
“It looks perfect on you. Let’s enjoy our meal and try it out. I’ve ordered some dishes that
like.
you
“Thank you, Mr. Marshall,” Imogen expressed her gratitude as she sat down opposite Troy and unpacked the chopsticks.
“Since it’s just the two of us here, do you still prefer to address me as Mr. Marshall?” “Considering we’re the company, it’s probably better that way,” she replied, smiling. Troy took some utensils and vegetables for Imogen, asking, “How are your feet? Why don’t you rest at home for two more days?”
“I’m feeling much better now. I prefer being at work rather than being idle at home. Moreover, I’m not typically very active,” Imogen replied.
Troy expressed remorse, saying, “I apologize for misunderstanding you last time,” while observing Imogen‘ s reaction.
It was quite unusual to see Mr. Marshall bow his head and apologize. Imogen thought there might be some issues in make–up and realized there might have been some issues that led to the misunderstanding. She remained silent for a moment, then lowered her head and responded softly, “It’s all in the past now, and there’s no need to bring it up again. You‘ ve already apologized over the phone.”
“When you mentioned feeling a bit tired and wanting to rest last time, why don’t you consider hiring more assistants?” Troy asked.
Imogen shook her head and explained, “I have enough assistants for now. I’ll consider it if the need arises.”
Troy pressed further, asking, “When would it be necessary?”
Imogen hesitated, realizing that she couldn’t keep her pregnancy hidden from those around her for long. Moreover, even if Troy allowed her to keep the child, there might still be a custody battle.
As a result, she decided to discreetly give birth to the child without arousing suspicion.
“If you need anything, just let me know,” Troy assured her.
Suddenly, an idea came to Imogen‘ s mind, and she looked up at Troy, saying, “I do have a requirement, but I’m not sure if you’ll agree with it.”
