Vicky immediately snapped out of her trance and turned to look at Tyler, only to find Tyler looking at her as well.His gaze was prying, and he smiled as soon as their gazes met.Her heart skipped a beat, and she hastily looked away.At the same time, the young man started talking to Avery. "Avery, is that really you? Why are you here in Zendonia? Gosh, I didn't believe my eyes when I first saw you."Avery's expression darkened. "I don't know you! Go away!""You don't know me?" The man looked at her in confusion. "I'm Tim!""You have the wrong person!""How is that possible?" questioned Tim confidently. "That night, you were in a bad mood and were drinking in a bar in Molivia. I went over to console you, and you complained that your fiance never touched you. You even suspected that he might be a lesser man than you thought..."Vicky could not help but glance at Tyler, and Tyler's gaze shifted to the man in question. At this moment, he appeared calm and collected, his expression
Avery was on the brink of madness, and her voice burned with fury. "Get out of here right now, or I'll call the police!""Why you..." Tim was about to retort, but Tyler's voice cut him off."Avery, who is he?"It was then Avery remembered that Tyler was next to her, and she frantically explained, "Tyler, I don't know this person! He's... He's harassing me! Quick... Get rid of him!"After that night, Avery contemplated sending someone to eliminate Tim, but he managed to escape. Despite thorough investigations conducted in Molivia, his trail had gone cold, so she did not expect he would show up in Zendonia.Tyler's profound gaze fixated on Tim.The moment their gazes met, Tim trembled slightly and was ready to bolt for the door at any moment.He had slept with Tyler's fiancee, and he truly feared Tyler would harm him. To his bewilderment, Tyler did no such thing.Tyler's expression remained tranquil with not a ripple of emotion in sight as he asked, "Are all the things you just s
Noticing Vicky's gaze, Harvey smiled mischievously.Just then, a group of reporters burst in through the door.The commotion had already attracted plenty of attention, and with the arrival of the reporters, others in the vicinity were thoroughly entertained. Many even started filming with their phones even before the reporters arrived.Upon entering the restaurant, the reporters swarmed Avery and Tim. "Miss Yeager, an informant has claimed that the video from your wedding wasn't a setup but true instead. Can you explain?""Sir, are you the man in that video?""Can you clarify whether you and Miss Yeager had been involved for some time, or was it just a one-night stand?""Do you know that Miss Yeager already has a fiance and is about to get married?""Miss Yeager, why did you engage in a relationship with another man while knowing you're engaged?""How long have you been involved with this gentleman?"The reporters bombarded them with questions, and an observant reporter notice
Since Avery was the first to resort to violence, the reporters had the excuse of self-defense to retaliate.Avery was merely a delicate young lady, so she had no hope of defending herself.Tyler, who lowered his gaze at Avery, looked up slowly and looked at Vicky.The look in his eyes was dark and unreadable.Her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately looked away.After getting into the car, Harvey looked at her. "Was that fun, Vicky?""Did you get that man and the reporters here?"Harvey did not deny it. "This is Zendonia, not Molivia. They have stepped out of line. Avery is too naive to think she can bully you here."Feeling touched, Vicky stared at Harvey and said, "Thank you, Harvey."He lifted an eyebrow and chuckled. "I've heard that countless times now.""But I mean it."He smiled and said, "Do you really want to thank me?"She nodded."Why don't you...give me a kiss, then?" Harvey asked.Vicky was taken aback."I was joking," Harvey said as he started the car.
Harvey lifted an eyebrow in surprise. "Are you coming, too?""Is that bad?"He chuckled. "If I remember correctly, you haven't raced since you won that bet with me years ago. I thought you didn't like it anymore.""That's not really the case. We weren't close at the time. Also, my career was taking off at the time, so I was busy," said Vicky."Alright, then," he said. "It's been a while since I went as well. Let's go take a look."...The two arrived at the car racing club and were instantly surrounded by people."Harvey, you're finally here! We haven't seen you much for the last two years.""That's right. The popularity of this club has dropped ever since you stopped coming. All those girls who came to see you stopped coming as well.""Oh?" Someone noticed Vicky and smiled. "You brought your darling here today, Harvey?""Oh, my! Your girlfriend looks even prettier than she was a few years ago!"These people seemed to remember Vicky, and they smiled."Ah, her great accompli
"But...""Just give it a try." Harvey looked at Vicky intently. "If you don't leave space for new things, you'll always be stuck in the same spot. How will you know you can't do it if you don't try?"Vicky stared at the scenery before her and nodded after a few moments. "Alright."Harvey unbuckled his seatbelt and let Vicky take over....Harvey sent Vicky back to her apartment building that night.He studied her side profile and smiled. "Did you have fun today?""I did." Vicky smiled faintly, and she seemed more relaxed. She sighed and said, "I was supposed to help you relax, but you ended up being the one who helped me relax."With Harvey's encouragement, Vicky made a few tries and discovered that things were not as hard as she imagined.After that, Harvey brought her to try sports like outdoor shooting before taking her to an outdoor barbeque restaurant for dinner.It was an experience Vicky never tasted, and she was entertained.She had never been more relaxed throughout
Tyler's gaze deepened as he looked at the bank card in Vicky's hand. He remained still as he observed with a mocking glint in his eyes.Vicky stepped forward and handed the bank card to him. "I don't owe you anything," she said coldly. "Mister Hart, you may leave now."Tyler absentmindedly toyed with the bank card in his hand. "It seems that your career has flourished over these years, and you have quite a sum of savings... If I'm not mistaken, these funds represent your entire net worth, don't they?" He lifted his head and smirked. "Returning this money to me will render your years of hard work futile, Ms. Shaw."Vicky gazed at his face and smiled. "Are you admitting you were just using that check as an excuse to pester me?"Tyler did not deny it. "I'm not a man to be lured at will, nor am I someone who sleeps with anyone that comes my way.""Indeed." Vicky's tone remained serene. "I understand that your current value cannot be measured in money, but I assume that paying you fift
Tyler's amusement grew when he saw the shock on Vicky's face."You seem to know I was your ex-husband, Ms. Shaw," he mused. "If that's the case, why didn't you mention it to me?"Vicky slowly regained her composure.She had debated on the possibility that he regained his memories, but it seemed as though he only found out that they were once married."Yes, I knew about it."Tyler silently signaled her to continue.She lowered her gaze and said, "Our marriage was a marriage of convenience. You needed a wife, and I needed the money. We had an agreement that we'd get a divorce once the time came. We've never met, nor did you know who you actually married. Everything was done by your assistant. As for why I never mentioned it, that's because there's a clause stating that I am not to have any contact with you after the divorce."This was the official explanation given by Old Mister Hart.Tyler gazed at Vicky silently. "Why would I need a wife?"Vicky's gaze flickered slightly, but
