Chapter 171 The Truth
Imogen hung up the phone and returned to her seat.
Charlie saw that Imogen was a little depressed, so she asked casually, “Who called just now?”
“A friend.” Imogen bit her lower lip.
“Hmph, I do know how many friends you have. The friend you are talking about is Troy, right?”
Imogen did not answer her question.
Seeing that she had guessed right, Charlie complained, “Why is he still calling? Did he pester you?
Imogen, don’t move and forgive him!”
“No,” Imogen said firmly, “It was his friend who called just now, saying that he was drinking. His friend
needed me to persuade him. He was injured to save me. I can’t ignore his friend’s
request.”
Alex said, “I believe Imogen is not so muddled, but now she needs some time to move on.”
Two hours later, Imogen, Alex, and Charlie arrived in Tromso.
From the airport, they took the bus to the hotel.
Looking out from the bus window, they saw that there was still a layer of snow on both sides of the
road.
The hotel Charlie booked was Aurora Creo Hotel.
“I read in the guide that this hotel is right by the pier, with a good view. There is an outdoor hot pool on
the top floor. Then, you can experience hot and cool sensations,” Charlie said.
In winter in Norway, soaking in the hot pool outdoors on the top floor was indeed an unusual
experience.
After checking into the hotel, they packed their luggage, and after a brief rest, they went to the hotel
restaurant for dinner.
The hotel’s restaurant was facing the pier, where people could eat delicious food while watching the
beautiful scenery.
As soon as Imogen sat down opposite Charlie with a dinner plate, she heard someone calling her,
“Imogen?”
As soon as Imogen raised her head, she saw Erik walking over with a look of surprise. Imogen nodded
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand smiled at him.
Charlie gave Imogen a meaningful look and said with a smile, “We meet again. Do you live here
too?”
“Yes.” Erik stood by their table, smiling with two pointed canine teeth and a sunny and cheerful aura
about his body. “But it’s a pity. We are leaving tomorrow. Did you arrive here just now?”
Charlie said, “Yes. Did you see the aurora?”
Erik answered. “I see!”
As he said that, Erik took out his mobile phone, found out the photos, put his phone on the table, and
slowly swiped them one by one. “Look, these are the photos I took. My photo skill is not good, but the
aurora is so beautiful!”
Imogen and her friends all looked at the photos on the phone.
In the photo, the sky was dark blue, full of stars, and a green aurora passed across, which was
gorgeous.
Charlie exclaimed, “You are too modest. The photos are so beautiful!”
Erik scratched his head in embarrassment. “It’s because the aurora is so beautiful. People like me who
don’t have photography skills can take pictures like this.”
Hearing what Erik said, Imogen looked forward to seeing the aurora very much.
“Then, what are you going to do after dinner?” Charlie asked.
“We’re going skiing! Do you want to come together?” Erik’s eyes lit up. He looked at Imogen
expectantly and then looked at Charlie.
Charlie gave Imogen a meaningful look. “Why don’t we go skiing too? Anyway, Aurora has to wait until
night, and there are still a few days left, so don’t worry.”
Alex also looked at Imogen, “It’s okay. Imogen, what do you think?”
With a smile on his face, Erik looked at Imogen.
Imogen raised her head and saw that the three of them were looking at her expectantly. After thinking
about it, she nodded and agreed, “Okay. Let’s go skiing.”
As for the sport of skiing, she had only seen it on the Internet, and she also wanted to try it. Erik smiled
happily, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth. The little canine looked extremely cute. “Then I’ll
go and tell my classmates! Let’s go together later!”
After speaking, he left excitedly.
Looking at his back, Charlie smiled wretchedly and said to Imogen, “It seems that we are destined to
meet each other. Even though we have arrived in Norway, we can meet each other.”
Imogen smiled and said nothing.
She knew what Charlie meant, but she was really not interested in Erik.
After eating, they simply went back to the room to take a rest and then met Erik and the others in the
downstairs lobby of the hotel and went to the ski resort together.
In Galaxy Villa,
Troy slowly opened his eyes. He felt his headache was very serious after a hangover.
He closed his eyes impatiently and reached out to rub his head.
There was some noise of snoring.
Until the headache subsided a bit, Troy opened his eyes, rubbed Mochi with his hands, and stared at
the ceiling in abstraction.
He dreamed that Imogen called him and cared about him.
A trace of bitterness flashed across Troy’s heart.
Only in his dream would she treat him like this.
Only in the dream could he relieve the pain of lovesickness.
He missed her very much.
Because he thought about it, the thoughts grew wildly in his heart. When he closed his eyes, his head
was full of her face.
Only alcohol palsied his brain could he sleep peacefully.
The phone ringing interrupted his thoughts.
Troy picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table and saw that the caller was Lane. He
clicked the connect button.
He said, “Hello?”
His voice was hoarse, and he sounded like he had just woken. up.
Lane said, “Mr. Marshall, there’s news over there.”
Hearing this, Troy suddenly sat up on the bed, waking up Mochi with fright. He asked, “What’s the
news?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLane answered, “According to Ms. Forbes‘ classmate over there, Ms. Forbes came to school in mid–
September and studied at school in the first semester. Ms. Forbes only came in the first two months of
the second semester. Later, Ms. Forbes took a long–term sick leave and never showed up again. At the
end of the semester, Ms. Forbes returned to school and lost a lot of weight as if recovering from a
serious illness.”
Troy fell silent, pursed his thin lips tightly, and slowly used more force to hold the phone.
It was already difficult for him to make excuses for Imogen, which made him believe that it was the
doctor’s misdiagnosis.
The serenity in his heart was broken. His anger was like a beast that was going to break free from the
cage.
Troy clenched his teeth. And with the other hand, he grabbed a few creases from the quilt in order to
restrain himself from the urge to drop his phone!
He asked, “Who is that man?”
On the phone, Lane could hear Troy’s anger when he spoke.
Lane replied, “The people over there almost asked all of Ms. Forbes‘ classmates. They all said that Ms.
Forbes had never had a boyfriend, but someone did pursue her. There are currently two men. One is
the president of the Foreigners Association. Another one is Ms. Forbes‘ classmate, who is at local
person who is interested in our nation’s culture.”
Troy said, “Go on.”
Lane said, “These two are Ms. Forbes‘ suitors who have a little more contact with her. The former
helped Ms. Forbes a lot when she first arrived there. It is said that he helped to introduce the apartment
where Ms. Forbes lived there. The latter didn’t express his love toward Ms. Forbes but approached Ms.
Forbes by saying that he wanted to learn about our culture, and later he expressed his love. Then, Ms.
Forbes alienated him.”
Troy asked, “So, is the former the most suspect?”
Lane added, “No, you can continue to listen. The people over there also went to the apartment rented
by Ms. Forbes to inquire and found that Ms. Forbes had moved out in the second semester. After Ms.
Forbes moved out, the association president also came to the apartment to look for Ms. Forbes, which
means that Ms. Forbes Oved away and did not tell him. Therefore, it can only be said that the two men
are suspicious. As for where Ms. Forbes moved later, our people did not find out. It seems that
someone deliberately erased traces.”
