Chapter 137 Undressing in Broad Daylight? Three days later, a trending topic shocked the entire
Internet. The heroine of Cloudwater City, Beryl, had been replaced, and the crew would re–elect a new
person. Recalling the interview video clip from not long ago, the netizens came up with speculation. Did
Troy and Sarah break up? Like a great detective, the sharp netizens discovered that Marshall Group’s
official website had taken down Sarah’s endorsement. Did Troy intend to be a good man and return to
his family? Kevin was both shocked and delighted when he received this notice. Overall, the joy
outweighed the shock. He was shocked, for if the heroine was changed, according to the current
shooting progress, they would need to retake some scenes, which was a waste of time, energy, and
money. But anyway, he was delighted as the reshoot would also be funded by the investor. Sarah was
the default decision of the investor since the beginning, and he had no place to choose. Now that he
could select the heroine based on his own requirements, wasting some time and energy was not a
problem. For this reason, the investment manager of Star Entertainment organized a dinner in a private
restaurant and invited Kevin and Troy over. The private restaurant was located in a deep alley in a
remote location, and they had to park the car outside the alley and walk for a while. But the layout
inside was superb, the taste was excellent, and the service was satisfactory. Even though the location
were quite far off, many people still would come to the restaurant. The last time Kevin had dinner with
Troy, he remembered how Troy behaved intimately with Sarah beside him. Meanwhile, Liam and
Imogen were chatting and laughing on the other side, but now thinking about the relationship between
Troy and Imogen, Kevin felt a little awkward. He even teased Liam and Imogen in front of Troy last
time. However, Troy’s expression remained calm, and he toasted Kevin “I’m sorry for causing trouble
for you, Mr. Jones. I won’t interfere with the crew’s affairs again in the future.” “It’s fine. It’s fine. It’s an
honor and a pleasure to cooperate with you, Mr. Marshall!” Kevin hurriedly raised his wine glass and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtspoke courteously. The weather was bad today. Halfway through the meal, it started to rain. Chapter
137 Undressing in Broad Daylight? After the meal, Star Entertainment’s representative and Kevin left
first. Troy came out of the bathroom and exchanged pleasantries with the boss before taking an
umbrella and leaving the private restaurant. It was raining heavily, and there was no one in the alley.
The pitter–patter of the rain was the only sound around. Six men came from the entrance of the alley.
Each held an umbrella, talking and laughing with each other. As they passed by Troy, a white light
flashed in front of Troy’s eyes. A cold blade stabbed straight at his abdomen. Troy’s eyes widened in
shock, and his hand shot forward at lightning speed to grip the wrist holding the knife. The umbrella fell
to the ground, and the rain splashed on his face. Before Troy could figure out their identities, the other
five men suddenly took knives out from their pockets, threw their umbrellas on the ground, and slashed
at Troy. Troy was agile. He dodged before turning around and kicking sideways, and the dagger fell to
the ground with a smacking sound. Several daggers slashed at Troy together with a whistling sound.

them in time, and his arm was grazed by one of them. He clamped the man’s arm, pressed his
shoulder heavily against his chest, and threw the man over his shoulder. Troy was thoroughly
drenched, and the rain was dripping down his face. He leaned his back against the wall, looking warily
at the six people in front of him who were also in a mess. He couldn’t see their faces clearly under the
rain. “Who are you?” “Damned capitalist, return our money!” A tall man with bloodshot eyes charged at
Troy angrily. Troy turned sideways to dodge, grabbed the man’s wrist, and elbowed his chest, torcing
him to retreat. The other five people immediately rushed forward and jointly attacked Troy from all
sides, each of them armed with knives. Although Troy reacted very quickly, he was still injured. With a
swishing sound, the blade cut through the sleeve of his suit. Blood spilled from his arm before quickly
disappearing in the rain. Troy yelled angrily and kicked the man away. The man lay on the ground
clutching his stomach, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with clear vomit. “That’s enough. How
about…” One of them thought of retreating. They had agreed to only make Troy suffer a bit at the
beginning. Chapter 137 Undressing in Broad Daylight? However, it was obvious by now that the others
were already fighting with rage in their eyes, and their moves were brutal. They couldn’t stop, and the
original agreement had since long been forgotten. Troy tried his best to defend and parry. Suddenly, a
person behind him rushed up with a knife, and the blade went straight into Troy’s back. “Troy! Be
careful!” With a sickening squelching sound, the blade pierced through the flesh. “Ah!” A female voice
could be heard screaming at the top of her lungs. A news notification popped up: [At 2:18 p.m. on
October 24, an incident of stabbing occurred on Gretten Street in New York City. Two people were
injured. They are currently receiving treatment in the hospital, and the case is under investigation.]
Imogen was deep in her work and didn’t pay attention to it. Ten minutes later, Charlie, who had surfed
the Internet at high speed, shared a link with his message attached: [Imogen, don’t you think the guy at
the fifty–seventh second of this video looks like that dimwit?] Imogen’s fingers paused before moving
her mouse to click on the link. It was a video taken by a passerby. The lens was zoomed in, so the
footage was not clear, and there was the noise of the rain in the background. Only a few medical staff
was seen walking around and carrying the victim on the ground to the ambulance. Imogen moved the
timeline to the fifty–seventh second, and a man’s side profile flashed by. Indeed, it seemed to be Troy.
Imogen clicked to pause, but she was a step late, and the video stopped at the fifty–eighth second. The
frame showed the victim on the stretcher, wearing black clothes with the arm exposed. The person
looked like a woman. Imogen was about to click the play button when she suddenly caught a glimpse
of something and fixed her eyes on the woman’s wrist. The woman wore a bracelet on her wrist.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThrough the blurry video, she could vaguely see that it was a light blue color, and it seemed to faintly
glow in the rain. Imogen had a sneaking suspicion in her heart that the person on the stretcher was
Sarah. When she took a closer look again at the black clothes on her body, she found it very similar to
a 11:40 Chapter 137 Undressing in Broad Daylight? trench coat of Troy’s. Therefore, the man who
flashed by in the video was undoubtedly Troy. A trace of sarcasm flashed in Imogen’s eyes. A few days
ago, Troy kept saying that he wanted to send Sarah abroad, where in fact, he was really reluctant. Why
bothered to keep dragging on the divorce? Was her helping him and Sarah not enough? About half an
hour later, Jason knocked on the door and said, “Ms. Forbes, Mr. Marshall asked you to come to the
president’s office.” Imogen was taken aback. “I thought he’s not in the company?” “I’m not sure about it.
It was an inside call from Mr. Jordan himself.” “Did Mr. Jordan say something about why Mr. Marshall
asked me to go there?” “No.” “All right. I’ll be there soon.” Imogen finished the work in hand, got up,
and went to the president’s office. She had reached the door, but before she could knock, she seemed
to hear footsteps inside, and the person inside said, “There’s no need to knock. Just come in.” Imogen
paused, then directly pushed the door open and walked in. When she saw the scene in the office, she
immediately froze in place. “You… Why are you undressing in the office in broad daylight?” After she
finished speaking, she quickly averted her gaze away from him, and her face flushed red. Troy’s upper
body was naked, exposing his broad arms and chest. His muscles were clearly textured, firm, and
dense. His abdominal muscles formed a neat arrangement, creating an alluring V shape that extended
below his waist. Without covering his body, he leisurely leaned back on the sofa with one hand
covering his shoulder. He looked straight at Imogen and said weakly, “Imogen, I’m hurt. Come and help
bandage me…” His clothes were completely soaked, and he wanted to go home directly. But on
second thought, he decided to come to the company.
