The interview video was released by Finance Channel at noon on Sunday and was simultaneously released on the official website, mobile application, and official social media account.
Imogen stayed at home on Sunday, resting.
Sue learned about the argument between Troy and Imogen last night and started persuading Imogen to tell Troy about her pregnancy.
Imogen firmly refused. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
She started to recall what had happened last night. Troy touched her abdomen and asked, “If we had a child here, would you still choose to divorce?”
Imogen looked into Troy’s eyes. “I once asked you the same question. Do you remember your
answer?”
At that time, she held back her emotions and asked him, “If we had a child, would on divorcing?”
you still insist
Even though it had been so long, she still remembered his clear response. “There are no ‘ifs,‘ and even if there were, I wouldn’t let him be born.”
Troy seemed to recall as well, his expression stiffening.
Without hesitation, Imogen said, “There are no ‘ifs,‘ and even if there were, I wouldn’t give birth to the child.”
Troy’s breathing suddenly became heavy and urgent. He stared at Imogen, his face tense and his teeth clenched, as if he wanted to say something but couldn’t. He got up, slammed the door, and hadn’t returned since noon today.
Imogen didn’t care where he went. She ate, drank, and slept as usual.
Before lunch, Sue asked tentatively, “Mrs. Marshall, is Mr. Marshall coming back for lunch? Should I call him?”
“No need. He won’t starve outside.”
Sue was speechless.
She thought, “Mr. Marshall, good luck to you. I can’t do anything else.”
While having lunch, Imogen received a Facebook message from Charlie.
Charlie: [Imogen, check the trending topics!]
Charlie: [Interview of the dimwit!]
Confused, Imogen opened Instagram, which she hadn’t used in a few days. The top hashtag was: [Exclusive Interview with Troy.]
She clicked on it, and the headline was a video interview posted by the Finance Channel’s official account. The title read: [Troy, the youngest entrepreneur in New York City and CEO of Marshall Group, gives his first exclusive interview. Let’s see what the secret of the richest man is?]
The video thumbnail showed Troy in his office, facing the camera.
The video was posted ten minutes ago and had already surpassed 100 thousand views, with over thousand comments, and still rising.
Curiously, Imogen clicked open the video.
The female host of the interview was a familiar face who had worked on the Finance Channel for
many years. She was elegant and knowledgeable, wearing a suit jacket with a skirt and holding a microphone while sitting on a couch.
Troy sat on the opposite single–seat sofa, wearing a simple black suit, and handmade leather shoes. He crossed his long legs, and his hand rested on the armrest, displaying a casual posture. At the start of the interview, the female host introduced Troy’s identity in a captivating manner, arousing the curiosity of the audience.
As the female host’s voice fell, the camera focused on Troy, and he began his self–introduction. This was his first official appearance in an interview, and Troy, in high–definition close–up, was handsome with deep eyes and a straight nose, even more captivating than the circulated online photos.
From then on, a saying spread on the Internet: [A good face wasted on a scumbag.]
They formally entered the topics, and the host asked several questions about finance, economics, and corporate management.
Troy answered each question professionally, with insightful perspectives, thorough analysis, and extraordinary eloquence.
If one could overlook the online rumors, this interview video would certainly attract a lot of fans for Troy.
The interview lasted for twenty minutes.
The host delivered a brief monologue and asked the next question, “Actually, everyone is very curious about Mr. Marshall’s love life. Mr. Marshall, you also know that there have been many rumors on the
Internet about you and Ms. Forbes recently. Can you tell us about your relationship with Ms. Forbes here?”
It was unexpected for the Finance Channel that Troy agreed to the interview.
The executives in the studio attached great importance to it, sending an ace host to host the show. They also gave a list of prepared questions to Lane to ensure smooth cooperation during the interview.
Recently, the news about Troy had been buzzing, and the studio wanted to add some excitement. The question list included some personal questions.
They originally thought Troy would veto those questions, but unexpectedly, Lane returned the questionnaire with those personal questions still included. It was an unexpected delight for the studio!
Troy looked at the camera and spoke in a friendly tone, “I’ve never liked others paying attention to my private life. I didn’t clarify past rumors in order to avoid fueling public opinion. But some people have taken advantage and revealed personal information about my wife online, causing her to suffer severe online harassment!
“So, I also want to take this opportunity to declare that I, Troy, will never let those who spread rumors and incite public opinion on the Internet go scot–free! My lawyers have collected evidence and filed lawsuits. They will pay the price! The Internet is not a lawless place, and I hope the audience will remain rational, not believe or spread rumors, and collectively maintain a healthy online environment!”
The host was astonished. “Are you saying that Ms. Forbes is your wife?”
Troy nodded and looked resolutely at the camera. “Yes.”
At this moment there WAR

prepared question.
She saw that Troy didn’t shy away from such topics and started to improvise, “May I ask, Ms. Forbes was adopted by the Marshall family and is your sister, right? You two must have known each other for a long time. How did you go from being siblings to becoming a couple?”
Troy did not avoid the question. He said, “When my wife came to my family, she was only around fifteen years old. At that time, we were not familiar with each other. Her life experiences were richer, and she was more mature compared to her peers. She was very sensible, not showy or arrogant, and excelled academically. Besides studying, she would accompany my grandparents, so my grandfather doted on her. I am also grateful for her filial piety and care for my grandparents.
“After I broke up with Ms. Page, I remained single for a year. During that time, Imogen returned from studying abroad and started interning at the company. My grandfather hoped that I would take care of her more, and as we spent more time together, we naturally got closer. As for the various rumors on the Internet, they are baseless. We are just an ordinary couple. I hope everyone can stay rational and not focus on our private lives.”
“So, Mr. Marshall and Ms. Forbes have been together for a long time?”
“Yes, we just celebrated our three–year wedding anniversary recently.”
Since the topic of Sarah was brought up, it couldn’t be avoided.
The host asked about Troy’s relationship with Sarah during their university days, “I have also seen people sharing photos of Mr. Marshall and Ms. Page during university years on the Internet. Alumni referred to you both as the perfect match, with compatible families, education, appearance, and various aspects. So, how did you end up breaking up?”
