Chapter 273 Rest in Peace

Imogen softly murmured, “Hmm.”

It seems that Troy had made up his mind to make sure that Grace stayed.

She looked down and glanced at Grace. The little girl was holding a pile of money and counting money on the sofa with utmost seriousness.

“How much did Troy give you?”

While counting, the little girl replied, “Around ten thousand? I haven’t finished counting yet.”

“So, you have fifty thousand now, Grace! Little rich girl!”

Grace grinned and continued counting the money.

Imogen looked at her when she finished counting and said, “Let’s put the

breakfast.”

money away and have

“No.” Grace lovingly stuffed the money into her pocket, with one in each pocket.

At this moment, footsteps were heard coming up the stairs.

Imogen glanced up and coincidentally met Emily’s gaze.

She faintly smiled and said, “Auntie.”

Emily snorted and walked downstairs.

Grace looked up with a momentary, anxious expression. “Grandma.”

After she called out, she lowered her head and continued to put the red envelopes in her pockets. “Grace, come to grandma’s side.” Emily sat down on the opposite sofa, speaking gently.

Grace hesitated for a moment before looking up.

Emily took out a pile of money and waved it toward Grace. “Grandma is giving you a Christmas gift.”

Grace walked to Emily and said in a sweet voice, “Thank you, grandma. Grace wishes you a healthy and happy Christmas.”

“Such a good child.” Emily pulled Grace into her arms. “Grace, grandma apologizes to you. Grandma didn’t control her emotions well last night and hurt you. Will you forgive grandma?”

Grace pursed her lips. “Grandma, Grace wasn’t mad at you.”

“You’re such a good child.” Emily smiled and glanced at Troy as if she had won a war.

She knew that Grace had been brought up by her since she was a child. How could she easily let go of her?

back

“Grandma knows that you haven’t finished playing yet, but your kindergarten is about to start. Grandma will help you ask for time off, but when you come back from your trip, you will go with grandma, okay?”

Compromising one step, she agreed to let Grace and Imogen go on their trip but didn’t want to

leave Grace.

Grace looked at Emily, then at Troy and Imogen, but didn’t say anything.

Troy raised an eyebrow. “Let’s talk about it later. Let’s eat first.”

After all, Grace’s passport was in his hands.

12:58

In the afternoon, Imogen went to the police station.

She was received by a young police officer who, after understanding her request, helped her contact his superiors.

The case of Ignacio’s death in a car accident received a lot of attention. It was supervised by the deputy Commissioner of a certain police substation at that time, and now he had been to Commissioner.

promoted

The Commissioner and others had done some ideological work to appease her emotions after the incident. They had some interactions.

After the meeting, Imogen expressed her gratitude to the Commissioner for his help in the past. Then she mentioned her father’s kidnapping case a few days before the car accident, took out the incomplete handwritten manuscript and the photo left by Ignacio, as well as the recording of Erik’s conversation, and also mentioned the relationship between Victor and Blake.

The Commissioner listened attentively, his expression becoming serious after hearing the recording. He said to Imogen, “In fact, the victim of that kidnapping case suffered severe and cruel torture. When we arrived, the kidnappers had already fled. Apart from Jeff Brown, who was wanted, we also had a few suspects, and Blake Hale was one of them. However, he escaped quickly, and there wasn’t solid evidence, so we had to stop there.”

“The clues you provided are very important. I will have someone follow this lead and do everything possible to catch the kidnappers and bring them to justice so that Mr. Ignacio Forbes can rest in peace.”

“Thank you.”

After leaving the police station, Imogen took a deep breath of relief.

Since the police had already suspected Blake, things should go more smoothly.

While driving past a shopping mall, Imogen saw a large inflatable arch at the entrance, with a red carpet laid out, as if there was a Christmas’s event happening. Since there was nothing urgent, she parked her car in the parking lot and decided to go into the mall and take a look.

Since it’s holiday, the mall was not lacking in crowds.

Imogen came out of the fitting room holding some clothes and said to the salesperson, “Wrap them up, along with the two pieces I just tried on.”

“Alright, please come with me.” The salesperson happily took the clothes and led the way to the cashier.

As Imogen walked over, she inadvertently saw two people entering the entrance.

Nicolas also saw her and walked over with the person beside him.

Imogen walked over and greeted with a smile. “Nicolas, what a coincidence.”

“It truly is a coincidence. Just you alone?” Nicolas nodded and glanced behind Imogen, thinking that Troy would be with her.

“Yeah.” Imogen looked at the young woman beside him and noticed that she was also looking at her.

“Nicolas, shouldn’t you introduce us?” Imogen asked.

Nicolas smiled and turned to the person next to him. “Let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Amber Wade. Amber, this is my sister Imogen Forbes.”

“Ms. Forbes, nice to meet you.” Amber said with a smile.

“Nice to meet you, too.” Imogen looked at Amber and felt that she looked familiar. “Miss Wade, have we met before?”

Amber fingered the strap of her handbag. “We met at the hot springs resort. I was at the restaurant when my cousin greeted you. I was right next to her.”

Imogen’s face showed a hint of understanding. “So Ann is your cousin. How is she doing lately?” No matter how you looked at it, Imogen felt guilty for the trouble Troy caused.

Amber tightened the strap of her bag and glanced at Nicolas without showing any emotions. “My cousin is doing well. It seems that my uncle has found a kidney source and will undergo surgery after Christmas. She is very happy recently.”

“Oh, that’s good. Which hospital is your uncle in? I’ll visit when I have time.”

Amber told her the name of the hospital.

At this moment, the salesperson came over politely and said, “Miss, your clothes have been wrapped…”

“Thank you.” Imogen looked at Nicolas and said, “You two can continue shopping. I’ll leave first.” “Goodbye.”

Imogen paid at the cashier and carried the paper bag to the supermarket on the negative floor, buying some gifts, and then drove to the hospital where Ann’s father was located.

Ann was taking care of his father in the hospital room.

Imogen knocked on the door and entered. Ann was surprised. But in front of her father, she didn’t show any emotions and just said that Imogen was her friend.

Looking at Ann’s face, she seemed fine, not too sad and worn out.

Ann’s father was very polite and kind to Imogen.

After a brief chat, Ann walked Imogen out.

“Sorry for the disturbance. I met my brother and your cousin at the mall earlier. I found out about my uncle’s hospital from her and decided to come and visit.” Imogen said as she walked forward.

“I know Ms. Forbes is here because of that incident… I said I wouldn’t report it, so you don’t have

worry. You don’t need to come here again.” Ann said.

to

She thought that Ms. Forbes seemed quite pitiful, too. Her emotions were destroyed by her ex–husband, and until now, she still thought of her as a victim.

Although she did was hurt by an unknown man, she gained even greater benefits in return.

In addition to fulfilling the money in the contract, Troy helped her father change rooms and found a kidney source. It was quite an unexpected surprise.

So, she didn’t have anything to be sad about.

“Alright.”

Imogen returned to her apartment.

In the evening, she received a message from Troy. He wanted to bring Grace over.

After a short while, the doorbell rang outside.

Imogen thought it was Troy and got up to open the door, but there was no one outside.

She looked around in confusion and was about to close the door when she casually glanced down

and saw a piece of paper on the ground.

She bent down to pick it up, and cold sweat immediately covered her body.

On the paper were terrifying ghost faces with red marks on them that looked like blood.

It was just like the death threat sent by Noah.
