Aurora did not have a deep understanding of Tyler; all of this information came from Noah.Noah had also said, "Why does Tyler value this child so much? It's because this child is an important bond that can tie Vicky to him for a lifetime. As Vicky's friend, I understand her situation, and I'm on her side, but we can't deny that their separation was initiated by Vicky. Tyler feels insecure around Vicky, but he doesn't have enough bargaining chips in his hands to make her stay. If Vicky wasn't pregnant, in my opinion... He might take his life with Vicky's at the end of his revenge plan. He was never a normal person, and these years have likely been a survival driven by hatred."Looking at his family's situation, it looks like he's on the brink of destroying the Hart family. There's probably nothing he won't do. Fortunately, Vicky is pregnant, and that gives them both a way out and a chance to ease their relationship. Otherwise...your friend might get killed."He's been subjected to e
Tyler's remark left Aurora speechless.Instead of being enraged, Aurora glanced around as she turned to Vicky. "Vicky, have you bought all the baby supplies?""Not yet.""How about we check out the baby supply store?" Aurora's eyes lit up. "As the baby's godmother, I need to pick some gifts for my godson." With this in mind, she became increasingly excited. "Come on, let's go to the baby supply store!"She turned to the store attendant and said, "I'll give you an address later; just send my clothes there.""Understood, miss."...When they arrived at the baby supply store, Aurora started shopping like a whirlwind."Wow, these shoes are so cute! Wrap them all up for me!"That set, that set, and that set... Apart from the ones I'm pointing at, wrap up everything else!"Oh, I need to buy some toys for my godson... This little scarf is so beautiful..."Aurora was neck-deep in her shopping spree. In less than half an hour since they entered the store, she filled eight shopping ca
Vicky was in the midst of choosing baby supplies when she was swept up into Tyler's arms, leaving her stunned. She furrowed her brow and struggled to free herself from his embrace. "Tyler, what are you doing?"Tyler glanced at Aurora and replied, "Your friend asked me to do this."Aurora pointed at herself incredulously. "When did I ask you to do that?""You were concerned about her safety and wanted me to stay close to protect her, right?" Tyler's expression remained unchanged. "This way, I can fulfill your request."Aurora was dumbfounded. It seemed she inadvertently assisted Tyler's plan, but it was not her intention.After a long while, Aurora finally managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth, "Tyler, you're truly shameless!"Tyler accepted her comment calmly. "Thank you for the compliment."He then wrapped his arm around Vicky's waist and continued helping her pick out baby supplies.Aurora was fuming.The three of them spent a considerable amount of time in
Not only did Tyler know how to take advantage of situations, but he also knew how to talk his way out of everything.The most exasperating thing for Aurora was that Tyler left her with no room for argument. Aurora decided to ignore him and turned her gaze to chat with Vicky.Vicky, too, acted as though she had not seen Tyler and chatted away with Aurora.Their lunch arrived promptly, and the two of them began to eat. However, Tyler did not sit beside Vicky and stood quietly nearby instead.The restaurant was bustling during lunchtime, and Tyler, with his extraordinary presence, attracted quite a few glances.Aurora, on the other hand, continued eating her meal as if oblivious to Tyler's presence.As long as she did not feel awkward, any awkwardness would be his alone. If he was going to mistreat Vicky, she would let him stand and go hungry.Aurora intentionally slowed down her eating and even ordered a dessert after the meal, so this meal took more than two hours to finish.Tyl
Vicky furrowed her brow. "Send me the client's contact information, and I'll try reaching out," she said to Jennifer.Jennifer promptly sent over the client's contact details.Vicky made a call, introduced herself, and explained the purpose of her call."Missus Ridge, would you and Mister Ridge be willing to meet with me?" Vicky inquired.Upon hearing that Vicky was the owner of a design studio, Missus Ridge was more accommodating and did not refuse a meeting as decisively as before."Sure. I happen to have some free time this evening. If we need to discuss something, let's meet at the Royal Club," she suggested.Royal Club was a well-known members-only entertainment venue in Stoneford City. Vicky had been there a few times and had a membership card, so she agreed to the proposal.After ending the call, Vicky dialed Jennifer's number again to explain the situation.Jennifer listened and said, "Vicky, since Willow reports to me, I'll go with you.""Okay."After setting a meeti
Aurora had devised countless strategies to torment Tyler. For instance, during their meals, she would have Tyler watch from the sidelines. They would have cold drinks under the scorching sun, and she would even assign him childishly mundane tasks like serving food and pouring wine, treating him as if he were a waiter.Vicky allowed Aurora to do as she pleased without intervening.After several days of these antics, Tyler remained unfazed while Aurora started to tire herself out. Compared to the torment Tyler endured in the past, Aurora's choices hardly caused any discomfort.Aurora's goal was to make Tyler feel uncomfortable, aiming to make him suffer as she had believed Vicky had. However, Tyler remained unresponsive, which made Aurora lose interest in her endeavors.Recently, Aurora received a new script, so she was more focused on studying her lines at home and no longer wanted to waste her energy on annoying him.Vicky and Jennifer walked ahead, all while discussing Willow's s
Vicky smiled politely and replied, "It's true we didn't provide a satisfactory service experience to our customers. However, we can't apologize for things we didn't do, Miss Thompson. Are you suggesting our studio should offer services beyond the scope of our work just to please customers?"Miss Thompson had a strong personality. Despite her young age, she managed a large company. Her employees and subordinates always treated her with utmost respect and flattery. Wherever she went, service staff bent over backward to cater to her whims. There were times when service staff would apologize to her at her command even if they did not do anything wrong.At this moment, Miss Thompson perceived Vicky's words as a direct challenge.Her cold gaze swept from Jennifer to Vicky, and a hint of jealousy flickered in her eyes.She was not unattractive herself, but in the presence of Vicky and Jennifer, she felt overshadowed.The man sitting beside Miss Thompson, although appearing timid, could n
The air seemed to have frozen when Vicky spoke, leaving only the faint sounds of the kettle wheezing while the water boiled.After a few moments of silence, Bella smiled. "So, you've figured it out, huh?"Vicky stared at Bella and asked, "May I know how I offended you, Miss Thompson?"Bella, no longer hiding her intentions, replied, "Back then, as soon as Harvey was imprisoned, you couldn't wait to break off your engagement with him and marry someone else. You tried to reel him back in after your divorce and made him stay single for so many years! Once you found a better option, you simply discarded him!" Her gaze bore into Vicky's, cold and venomous."A despicable person like you deserves a good lesson," Bella continued.The way this woman looked at her seemed oddly familiar to Vicky, so realization hit her in an instant. "It's you!"Years ago, when she and Harvey had first been engaged, a woman constantly pestered him, even teaming up with Harvey's sister to make trouble for Vi
