Vicky assumed Tyler was badly injured when she noticed his blank stare. "Tyler, can you get up? Should I call an ambulance?"Tyler collected himself and said hoarsely, "I'm fine."Gently pushing Vicky aside, he quickly got up. Although there were shards and debris scattered all over the ground, Tyler had not sustained any severe injuries as he wore a suit jacket. Only the back of his hand was exposed to the debris and suffered from a few cuts.From Tyler's perspective, a few cuts were nothing to be worried about, but Vicky noticed and immediately held his hand."Your hand is cut. Let's treat it with ointment right away." She led him upstairs, holding his hand gently.Tyler instinctively wanted to shake off her hand and mock her for pretending to be concerned as that was what he thought. However, for some reason, he found himself following her upstairs silently when he saw the concern on her face.Vicky swiftly fetched the medical kit.Though the wounds were not very serious, the
It was only then Vicky realized Tyler had no boundaries or limits when it came to her....Tyler took Vicky to the hospital for an abortion the next morning, but after a brief body check, the doctor softly declared, "Mister Hart, your wife...isn't pregnant."Tyler narrowed his eyes. "What did you say?"The doctor trembled and repeated, "Missus Hart...isn't pregnant."Tyler was unwilling to believe it.He snatched the medical report from the doctor's hand, and his expression darkened after reading it carefully. He grabbed Vicky's wrist and said to Harry, "Arrange for a different hospital sponsored by Hart Corporation."Harry hesitated to speak, wanting to tell Tyler that this hospital was, in fact, owned by Hart Corporation.Vicky shook her head at Harry, gesturing for him to make the arrangements.Such situations happened many times before, and Harry had grown used to them.Tyler's suspicion that Vicky was carrying another man's child seemed absurd, and considering Tyler's cu
"I know you're in a bad mood, so I'll let this slide for now. I'll repay this slap in the future!" Avery's gaze turned cold. "I promise I'll return the favor."Vicky glanced at her indifferently and was about to walk past Avery to leave. Looking at Avery alone made her nauseous.She and Isabella were sure Avery was behind Tyler's worsening condition, but unfortunately, they had no evidence to prove it.As she was leaving, Avery called after her. "Vicky, based on the clues you and Isabella have gathered, you should've pieced things together, right?"Uninterested in Avery's attempts to sow discord, Vicky was about to leave when Avery added, "Have I ever told you there's only one way to cure Tyler?"Vicky knew Avery had malicious intentions and that she should not believe anything Avery said, Nonetheless, Vicky slowed down at the mention of Tyler's name.Avery's words might not all be true, but she was so arrogant and self-assured that she might accidentally reveal the truth.Seein
Avery smirked viciously.Vicky's grip tightened around the phone as she recognized her voice.A moment later, the melodious voice of a man followed."Thank you for everything you've done for these past few years, Vicky. It must've been hard to remain by his side and put up with him for my sake.""It's fine; I'm just doing what I should do. After what he did to you back then, I've always wanted to retaliate... Right now, he's already transferred fifty-one percent of his company's share to me. Once he loses his mind, I'll transfer all of that to you.""Vicky, do you really...feel nothing for him?""No." The woman's voice was ruthless in the video. "He's forced me to be with him all these years. He's taken me forcibly, imprisoned me, and he never cared about my feelings. If I truly wanted to be with him, I wouldn't have tried to escape multiple times. I came so close to being with you the last time I escaped, but he caught me again!"Her voice dripped with bitterness. "I hate him t
When she saw Vicky's startled expression, Avery's smile widened. "Surprised?" She teased.Vicky bent down to pick up the phone. The sounds of the couple engaging in unspeakable acts were painfully clear in the silent corridor.Vicky's gaze refocused on the screen of her phone, her blood running cold. After watching for a bit longer, her gaze sharpened, and she coldly said, "That's not me.""That's right," Avery admitted."Who are they?"Crossing her arms, Avery playfully replied, "Guess."Vicky lowered her head, ignoring the explicit content on the screen, and calmly said, "The visuals aren't that clear, but from these angles, it's convincing enough to fool others into believing that's me. If I'm not mistaken, you found two individuals who looked a lot like Harvey and I and had them act out this scene, right?""While there are some differences, what you've said is essentially correct."Avery had a purpose in coming to Vicky, so she did not bother to mess around for long. "There
Even when lighting the incense, Avery was cautious out of fear Tyler would catch on. She did not even dare to administer the kind of potent sedatives that would keep him unconscious for too long. The longer he was unconscious, the stronger the drugs, and the easier they would be to detect. Fortunately, the plan worked without a hitch.Seeing Vicky's increasingly grim expression, Avery's heart was filled with delight. "With the help of the drugs, making him believe what was in that video shouldn't be difficult, right?""There must be more to it," hissed Vicky. "You've done other things to him, haven't you?""Correct." Avery took pride in her perfect plan and continued, "Stunned by the video of you and Harvey 'cheating' on him, he fell into a deep coma. I arranged for him to undergo hypnosis."Although she had guessed the general idea, hearing Avery admit it sent a shiver down Vicky's spine.Vicky was not mortified because of the evil plan Avery had come up with but the fact that Va
"That's not the most important thing, though. In the face of Valencia's and Lincoln's schemes, you can't help Tyler. Quite the opposite, actually—all you do is slow him. Lincoln and Valencia have used you to cause Tyler pain multiple times now."Admit it, Vicky; all you have to offer is pain. I'm only doing this to show you the reality and give you a reason to leave Tyler. I can be the villain of this story. You're just an innocent woman forced to leave Tyler. Will that make you feel better?"Vicky narrowed her eyes in disgust. "Quit sugar-coating your crime. If you're truly a great woman, I might've been able to accept leaving him. Now that I know that you're a witch, though, I'd rather watch him go insane than let you have him. Also, don't think for a moment you're capable of controlling Tyler. You'll soon be proven wrong."With that said, Vicky tossed the phone back to Avery and turned to leave.Avery sneered. "You can stay on your high horse for now, Vicky, but you'll regret it
As soon as the thought emerged, Vicky dismissed it swiftly.She already gave up on Tyler once before. This time, she refused to give up on him again as she had promised him.To prevent others from noticing Tyler's condition, Vicky minimized her appearances at Hart Corporation and rarely stayed by his side.She continued to work with Isabella to explore treatment options and find skilled doctors in the field. However, even Isabella was helpless in this situation, and other doctors were equally baffled.A week went by swiftly. One day, Vicky received a call from Isabella."Missus Hart," Isabella said warily. "I've just landed. I'll be meeting the doctor who once provided the hallucinogenic drugs very soon."Due to Isabella's carelessness, Avery discovered Tyler's condition, making her feel both guilty and even more committed.They managed to trace the source of the hallucinogenic drugs, and Isabella traveled abroad to meet with the supplier to understand the exact effects of the d
