Upon hearing his words, Valencia glanced coldly at Vicky and said, "Tyler, didn't you already divorce Vicky? Isn't Miss Starling your current fiance?" Tyler cast a cold glance at her and replied, "Who said that Aurora is my fiancee?" Valencia was taken aback. "Weren't you getting along well with Miss Starling? Haven't you already gone to see wedding dresses and set a date for the engagement party?" Tyler replied in an icy tone, "I won't be engaged to her." Valencia paled. "Tyler, what do you mean by this? The Starlings are already preparing for the engagement, yet you're saying there won't be an engagement right now? Where does that leave the Starlings and our family?" The Starlings and the Harts had been preparing for the wedding. With the date approaching, Tyler was seen bothering Vicky relentlessly and even tried to call off the engagement. Valencia's icy gaze swept across Vicky and thought, 'Had Lincoln not put in such good words with me about this woman, I would've era
Vicky looked at Lincoln. Lincoln's handsome face bore a smile that seemed to dispel all darkness. She felt as though she was basking in a gentle spring breeze. If one was to describe Tyler as an endless night, filled with cold and darkness, Lincoln would be a warm and bright light that brought comfort to one's heart. Vicky remained silent for a few seconds before finally speaking up, "Tyler, I won't go with you." The smile on Lincoln's face grew brighter, while the chilling aura surrounding Tyler grew gloomier. Tyler narrowed his eyes dangerously, and his tone carried a more pronounced threat, "Vicky, say that again." Vicky's face appeared pale, but her expression remained resolute. "No matter how many times you ask, my answer will be the same." She raised her eyes to meet his gaze. "I won't leave with you." She did not want to spend her whole life in his shadow and be forever manipulated by him. In the past, she had felt indebted to him, had sympathy for him, and even
Vicky could not believe that all Tyler cared about was her relationship with Lincoln instead of everything else. "Tyler..." Before Vicky could finish her sentence, he bombarded her with several questions. "When did you two meet? Why don't I know about this?" Vicky found Tyler's words incredibly strange and thought to herself, 'Does he truly believe that he is an all-knowing deity, capable of knowing everything?' At this point, Vicky could not be bothered to wonder about him any further. "Actually, when you warned me to stay away from Lincoln, I had already decided not to have any contact with him. Despite all the help he offered me, you were still important to me, so I would rather be an ungrateful person to him." Vicky raised her head and met the man's dark and profound gaze. "Even if all the kindness you showed me was just for revenge, even if you cruelly abandoned me after I fell in love with you again, you were still the most important person in my heart." Her words see
"Vicky, are you going back with me or not?" "No." Vicky's voice was soft, but her tone was resolute. Tyler's patience had finally run out. "Vicky, if you come back with me right now, I can pretend that nothing happened, and I won't question this connection between you and Lincoln anymore." Vicky's patience had reached its limit as well and she coldly pulled her hand away from him. "Pretend that nothing happened? You won't question it anymore? Ha! Tyler, what else are you capable of apart from threats and intimidation? Do you really think I'm just your possession and that you can do whatever you want with me? If that's truly what you think, that's all the more reason for me to not leave with you today! Tyler, we are already divorced. It's over for good!" Facing Vicky's agitation, Tyler merely furrowed his brow slightly. "I won't get engaged to Aurora." "Tyler, it's not about whether you will get engaged to Aurora or not. Do you understand?" Clearly, Tyler's way of thinking w
'Money...' Vicky thought. She had thought that he learned the truth, but it turned out that he assumed she did it for money. However, she had already made the decision to leave Tyler, so there seemed to be no point for her to explain herself. "Tyler, your grandfather is asking for you." Tyler did not show any intention to leave and held onto Vicky's wrist. "You are coming down with me." Vicky scowled. "No, I'm not." "It's not up to you." With that, Tyler dragged her outside. Had Tyler not been so insistent with the divorce, Vicky would have thought that he could live without her based on his current actions. However, after experiencing his ruthlessness, Vicky knew that he no longer had a heart. Knock, knock, knock. Seeing that there was no response from inside the door, Valencia's knocking became more urgent as though she was about to break the door. Just as Valencia was about to force her way in, the door suddenly swung open. She was surprised to see Tyler coming
One must admit that Old Mister Hart was truly cunning. His choice of words was almost flawless, but Tyler was not falling for it. Tyler tightened his grip around Vicky's waist, pulling her closer to him. "Vicky won't feel comfortable staying here. There's no need for you to trouble yourself." No one could ever take the woman he wanted away from him, and whether the woman in question was willing to be with him was not within his consideration. Nothing else mattered to Tyler. Tyler's stubbornness troubled Old Mister Hart and he could not understand why Tyler was so obsessed with Vicky. Over the years, countless women had appeared by Tyler's side. Amongst them, there were many who were more beautiful and brilliant than Vicky, yet Tyler never showed any hint of interest in any of them. "Tyler, you know that I won't be able to stop you if you want to take Vicky with you by force, but why don't you take a second to look at the state Vicky's in? She's not doing too well. She's
Tyler did not get angry but nodded and said, "Yes, and you're a psychopath magnet." Vicky nearly choked. She could not come up with a clap back. 'I'm no match for his shamelessness.' … Vicky temporarily stayed at the Harts' mansion. Old Mister Hart was thoughtful enough not to put her in the same room as Tyler. However, he was not thoughtful enough to put their rooms next to each other. She understood where Old Mister Hart was coming from, so she did not object to it. The worst thing she could do now was to have an acrimonious falling out with Tyler. Fortunately, even though they were living under the same roof, Tyler had to go to work during the day and was usually very busy at work, so there were not many opportunities for them to meet each other. Vicky could finally breathe a sigh of relief and let all the tension in her body melt away. One day, someone knocked on Vicky's door. "Ms. Shaw, a lady asked to see you," said the maid respectfully outside the door. "Okay,
"How can I marry someone like that? My parents respected my wishes in the beginning, but as time went on, and the situation at the Starling Group got worse and worse… they started to lose their patience and told me to just choose someone. Needless to say, Tyler was the best option I had amongst all the men I described just now, so I…" Here, Aurora dropped her head in shame. Vicky was not surprised to hear what Aurora told her at all. Tyler was indeed that attractive. When Vicky was younger, she fell for him hard, making her no different than Aurora. Vicky asked, "What happened after that? How did everything end up being fake when you had the chance to be his fiancee?" "Everything I told you when we went out drinking that night was true, but that all happened before I met Tyler. After I discovered the truth, I didn't have the power to fight back… not until I met him." She hesitated before continuing, "He looked into me before we met. After you found out, he contacted me priv
