Noticing the lust in Tyler's eyes, Vicky realized she had been talking to Tyler with only a bathrobe tied loosely around her body. She quickly tightened the bathrobe around herself."Isn't that a little too late?" Tyler asked as he leaned down to put his lips an inch from her face. "Or have you come up with a new way to seduce me?""Tyler, I promise I'll terminate the contract with Gilbert, so please leave right now," said Vicky in a tone that was both ashamed and annoyed.She did not know when he got into her home, but judging from what he said, it seemed like she came home later than he did. 'Does that mean he was here while I was taking a shower?'She could not help but shudder at the thought of that.Tyler ignored her pleadings and looked around the room absent-mindedly. "So your boyfriend doesn't live with you, huh?""Tyler, get out of my house this instant!""I haven't checked out the other rooms yet, so why don't you give me a tour?"'What?! Does he think my house is a m
Every time they came to a room, Tyler would look around carefully as though looking for signs of Vicky's infidelity.After the tour was finished, Vicky glanced at Tyler's face. Noting that he did not look upset, she said, "I'll terminate Gilbert's contract and never contact him anymore. Can you please stop the scandal?"Tyler sat down on the sofa and glanced at her. "Come here."Vicky hesitated for a few seconds before walking toward him. He reached out and pulled her to his lap. She immediately tensed but did not struggle."It's so rare to see you being so obedient," said Tyler with his lips brushing her cheeks. "Are you that afraid of me ruining his life?""I just don't want an innocent person to get hurt because of me.""Is that so?""I have no reason to lie to you.""Very well then," said Tyler with a smirk. "If that's the case, let me see how sincere you are."Vicky's eyelashes fluttered as she dug her nails into her palm.After a minute or so, she closed her eyes and ki
"Also, didn't Tyler lose his memory? If that was true, how come he started harassing you again the moment he was back in Stoneford City?" Aurora looked doubtfully at Vicky. "Vicky, had he regained some of his memories?"Vicky's eyes flickered. "I'm not sure, but from the way he's behaving…it doesn't look like he has recollected anything."Vicky only met up with Tyler a handful of times, and most of those times were done on the bed. To be honest, she could not tell whether he remembered anything."But don't you find it weird?" asked Aurora.After a few seconds of silence, Vicky replied, "I'm partly to blame for what happened last time. Things wouldn't have become so troublesome if I just minded my own business."It was true. Vicky and Tyler would not have anything to do with each other if she had not gone up to help him."So what do you plan to do now?" Aurora asked with a sigh. Even she knew how difficult it would be to shake off Tyler, especially when it was obvious he was inter
Vicky answered the call."Vicky, are you free tonight?" asked Avery. "If you are, bring your boyfriend over to meet me."Vicky scoffed. "Why should I listen to you?""Why? How about because I have a video that could ruin your life?""How long do you plan to blackmail with that?""Hey, you have no one else to blame but yourself. This wouldn't have happened if you didn't seduce my fiance!""Well, I wouldn't have succeeded if he was happy with you!""Vicky Shaw, just how shameless can you be?" shrieked Avery. "How can you still be so cocky after seducing someone else's fiance?! You sl*t! B*tch! C*nt!"Aurora could hear every curse word Avery spewed from where she was sitting.Vicky could not care less about the insults, and she was about to hang up when Avery suddenly said, "I'll hand over the video to you and promise I'll never use it to blackmail you again if you come over tonight. What do you say?"Vicky's thumb froze right above the 'End Call' button. "You promise?""Do you
Vicky did not even have the chance to figure out what was happening when the reporters started throwing questions at her."Miss, are you Vicky Shaw? How do you explain the scandal that broke out today?"Vicky had no idea what scandal the reporter was talking about. She was about to ask when another reporter asked her, "Miss, are you aware that Mister Tyler is already engaged to Miss Avery?""Miss Vicky, are you still in an improper relationship with Mister Tyler? The video shows you were the one who led Mister Tyler back to his room after he got drunk. Did you take that opportunity to seduce him?""It is reported that you're an owner of a well-known fashion design studio in the city, and people have been calling you 'Bawse'. Did you get to where you are today with the help of the men you seduced?""An insider said that you used to be engaged to Mister Harvey Sparks and that the two of you still maintained a good relationship after the engagement was called off. You were even seen
The news reporter feigned surprise. "Ms. Shaw, what's with all these marks on your neck? May I know if you're single now?"Vicky paled and snatched the scarf from the reporter's hands. "No comment.""Are you feeling guilty?" The female reporter stared at her with contempt and grabbed a cup of drink to splash it on Vicky's face. "You shameless homewrecker! Stop acting all innocent!"Suddenly, an intimidating gaze landed on Vicky, and she instinctively turned to look over.A tall, elegant man stood in the distance and watched as chaos erupted. His expression was cold, his gaze unwavering.Vicky's eyes lit up when she saw Tyler, but he simply looked away as though he did not see her at all.The reporters followed Vicky's line of gaze and spotted Tyler as well."Hey, isn't that Tyler Hart and Avery Yeager?""They're here too?""Do you think this wicked woman threatened them and made them come here to negotiate terms?" someone exclaimed before abandoning Vicky and rushing to Tyler'
Vicky touched the corner of her eyes and realized she did not shed a tear, despite the reporters' verbal and even physical attacks.Avery watched as the scene unfolded with pleasure. She took in Vicky's disoriented state.She already imagined Vicky becoming the talk of the city and the subject of all condemnation.However, amid her excitement, she sensed something was amiss.She looked up to study the man next to her, only to find him staring at Vicky unblinkingly.His lips were pursed, and his breath was ragged as though he was trying to suppress his anger.Avery's heart sank.Suddenly, he started walking toward Vicky."Tyler..." Avery wanted to catch up, but she saw Tyler suddenly stop.A flicker crossed Avery's brow, and she turned her head to look. Then, she spotted a tall, handsome man who appeared out of nowhere, pushing the reporters surrounding Vicky aside.The reporters were initially stunned, but when they had a clearer look at the newcomer's face, their eyes widene
The reporters only received information that Vicky and Tyler were in the same room, but no one knew what happened."Vicky sent me to my room and ran into Mister Hart, who had too much to drink at the time. Because of my connection with Mister Hart, she couldn't walk away. She asked him about it and realized he felt ill, so she helped him back to his room," Harvey continued.He glanced at Tyler and said, "Setting aside whether Vicky attempted to seduce Mister Hart, Mister Hart and his fiancee have been through so much and emerged as the strongest couple we've ever known. Why would a man like him cheat on his fiancee? If he was truly seduced by Vicky, that would mean he cheated. Wouldn't that make his engagement to Miss Yeager...a joke? If that is the case, Miss Yeager—known to be a prideful noble lady—could never stand by Mister Hart's side so calmly. I suppose she would've ended the engagement if Vicky and Mister Hart had slept together."All the reporters instantly turned their att
