The Wrong Woman

Chapter 1067

Imogen quickly cleared her throat and reassured Mila, "It's okay, Mom. Your urgent matters come first. We can always arrange another meeting in the future."

"Please, let me apologize to your parents personally," Mila insisted.

Feeling flustered, Imogen replied, "No, really, there's no need for apologies... I'll explain everything to them. I'm sure they'll understand."

Mila persisted, "That doesn't feel quite right."

Imogen couldn't fathom allowing someone as prominent as Mila to apologize to Gregory and Carol.

After all, it was Imogen and Jasper's oversight for not informing Gregory and Carol of the correct meeting time, resulting in a three-hour delay. Burdened with guilt, Imogen couldn't bring herself to let Mila apologize to Gregory and Carol.

She reassured Mila firmly, "It's really not necessary."

In her rush to leave, Mila didn't insist further. "Next time, we'll make sure to visit them in person."

Imogen held back from further comment.

After bidding farewell, she glanced over at Jasper.

Jasper also received a message from Nathan. "I've just been given urgent orders from my superiors, so I have to return.

"We sincerely regret missing the appointment with Mr. and Mrs. Kingsley. We will make it a priority to visit and apologize in person next time." Jasper understood that Nathan's superiors likely held prominent positions, possibly at the national level.

The urgency to shorten his vacation indicated a matter of significant national importance.

While Jasper sympathized with Nathan's circumstances, he questioned whether Gregory and Carol would share the same understanding.

Glancing at Gregory and Carol in the back seat, Imogen clarified, "Mom, Dad, Mr. and Mrs. Morrison had to rush back to the frontiers due to urgent orders. They regretfully had to cancel today's meeting but promised they'll visit you both next time. Mrs. Morrison also wanted to personally apologize to you."

Gregory and Carol exchanged a glance, their disappointment evident.

Despite this, they refrained from voicing any complaints, managing a strained smile as they bowed their heads.

Carol's weathered hand cautiously traced the fabric of her new clothes, her eyes betraying a hint of sorrow.

In their view, Nathan and Mila seemed to be asserting their authority.

Despite their inner turmoil, Gregory and Carol accepted the situation gracefully. Still, they couldn't help

but regret spending so much money on new clothes and gifts.

After years of saving money diligently, it all disappeared in an instant. They weren't sure when they would have another chance to present these gifts. Even if they did, they feared they might still face disapproval.

As traffic eased, Jasper continued driving toward the hotel.

Despite Nathan and Mila's return to work, Jasper remained determined to treat Gregory and Carol to the gourmet meal and fine wine he had planned. Gregory and Carol quietly savored the luxurious meal, harboring thoughts they dared not voice to Jasper.

In their eyes, Imogen's marriage to Jasper seemed destined for unhappiness.

Imogen sensed Gregory and Carol's apprehensions but felt powerless to alleviate them.

Her only wish was for Nathan and Mila to swiftly finish their duties and return home. She didn't want Gregory and Carol's expensive gifts to go to waste.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

A week flew by.

Imogen's professional talents began

to shine brightly at work. Her

superiors were increasingly

impressed by her skills, viewing her

as a person with untapped potential and hidden abilities.

Despite her humble academic background, Imogen demonstrated extraordinary competence.

Just as her colleagues were marveling at her capabilities, a news story erupted.

Imogen suddenly became the center of attention in her department.

The hashtag "#Sentenced ForImpersonatingAnother's Degree" quickly gained traction.

Upon reading the news, it was uncovered that a woman named Zoey Layton had fraudulently assumed the identity of Norvania Aerospace Academy's top graduate through her parents' connections.

As a result, both Imogen's true identity and that of the impostor were brought to light.

Fortunately, the impostor who had impersonated Imogen had her credentials revoked.

Now, everyone knew that Imogen had originally earned her place at Norvania Aerospace Academy through her own merit and outstanding academic achievements.

Despite having been deprived of four years of tertiary education, Imogen's brilliance remained undiminished.
