Anger burned the last rational thought in Sheila's mind when she saw Vicky acting innocent, as if she did not know anything.She raised her hand and tried to slap Vicky again, but her hand was caught mid-swing.A deep melodious voice like the sound from a cello rang, "Miss, either you talk nicely or you fight. Don't just try to slap someone while you're talking. It's spiteful for you to do that."Sheila was so distracted by Vicky that she never realized there was a man beside Vicky. As she heard the voice, she raised her head.The man looked extremely handsome. His almond-shaped eyes were mesmerizing. His thin lips curled into a smile as his hands were in his pockets. While he stood relaxedly, there was something noble about him that people were slightly intimidated by.Sheila frowned and said sarcastically, "Hi. It's better that you don't act like those annoying women and stay out of the way like a man."Instead of being provoked, Mister Kirby smiled faintly. "I'd never butt in
Mister Kirby looked at Vicky and asked, "Are you alright?"Vicky blinked and tried to force a smile. "I'm fine."He stood beside her. "You were kidnapped. There's nothing wrong with you calling your husband for help. You don't have to blame yourself. But that woman…"He chuckled. "The way she accused and lambasted you, makes me think like it's her husband who got shot."Vicky looked at him. "Mister Kirby…thank you for saving me today, but I'm afraid—"He knew what she was going to say before she finished her sentence. "I understand. Since your husband is hurt, you'll need to stay here. I'll get going now."He looked like he was a very casual person, but he was, in truth, thoughtful and caring. Most of the time, he could read her mind.She gazed at him gratefully, more so than ever before. "I'll treat you to a meal when I'm free one day. Call me anytime if you need me.""Sure." He waved at her. "Bye.""Be careful on your way.Mister Kirby raised his eyebrow and smiled at her b
Before Vicky could answer, Maggie butted in, unable to stand idle, "She certainly won't admit it if you ask her. She—""Yes, I did say those things," interjected Vicky curtly.Adam, the man who stopped Vicky from walking toward the operating room, asked, "Why did you say those things to Miss Young? Do you know how much trouble you caused for Mister Hart because of what you said?"Although the others did not say anything, the ways they looked at her were showing dissatisfaction with her too."Why?" Vicky looked at Adam and said coldly, "Because I'm Tyler's wife, and I don't want to see my husband being busy because of another woman!"Maggie interrupted, "Sheila was hurt because of Mister Hart. Isn't it normal for Mister Hart to care for her? Since you self-claimed to be Mister Hart's wife, you should understand his difficulties!"Self-claimed to be Mister Hart's wife… What an interesting, meaningful sentence!Vicky glared at Maggie coldly. "Tell me then, Miss Chance. Why does She
Vicky tucked her hair behind her ear and said, "If Tyler hadn’t gone off to help Miss Young, he would've never gotten hurt regardless of how many times I called him."Cruel words continued to flow out of her red lips. "If I'm being honest, he deserves this. He wants to stay married yet wants to keep his first love around. This is the price he needs to pay for being so insatiable. If only he had stayed away from Miss Young, the kidnappers would've never targeted Miss Young to begin with."She paused and stared at Sheila coldly. "Despite the fact that he has a wife, the kidnappers decided to kidnap you instead. Do you know what this means? Miss Young, you're far too close with a married man to the point that even outsiders think that you two are having an affair. No matter what happens to Miss Young and Tyler, I won't feel sorry for them at all because you had this coming. This is what it means to be a player and a homewrecker."Silence fell over the crowd as everyone gaped at Vicky's
Before Harry and Tyler's other assistants could respond, Vicky coldly interjected, "Miss Young, I thought you said that you'd leave once we're sure Tyler is fine. You played the victim card and made it look as though you're being bullied, yet you've forgotten all about what you said within minutes?"Sheila's expression darkened at Vicky's sarcastic tone.Displeased, Adam said, "Miss Shaw, you should know better than to be so forceful as Missus Hart. If Mister wakes up and finds out that you've been treating Miss Young this way, he might—"Vicky interrupted him and said, "What Miss Young said downstairs is quite right. As a man, it's best for you to stay out of women's business."Adam’s expression darkened. "Why you—!""Forget it." Sheila lowered her gaze and muttered calmly, "if Miss Shaw doesn't want to see me, I can just leave... Tyler is more important than this argument."A distinct comparison formed between Vicky and Sheila, with one acting willfully with no remorse, while a
Vicky's heart raced.Every time she looked into his eyes, she would be overwhelmed by a strange feeling. The look in his eyes seemed emotionless yet seemed to contain countless words at the same time.Knock, knock!Just then, someone knocked on the door, and Vicky snapped out of her daze before walking over to open the door."Missus Hart, do you need us for something?" the doctor asked politely."Tyler is awake. Please give him a checkup."The doctors immediately leaped into action and hurried into the room. After checking on Tyler, one of the doctors said, "Mister Hart has stabilized, and all that's left for him to do is rest."Vicky nodded. "Thank you so much.""You're most welcome, Missus Hart. We're simply doing our job."After reminding Vicky of certain things to look out for, the doctors left and Vicky called Nanny Paterson, telling her to bring over some food.Throughout the entire time, Tyler had not taken his eyes off Vicky. Even if she refused to look at him, she co
"Resort to violence?" Tyler repeated.Sheila turned to look at Tyler with resignation. "I'm sorry, Tyler. I was hysterical last night and slapped Miss Shaw across the face..."Maggie shot Vicky a look and muttered, "Miss Shaw keeps suspecting the nature of your relationship with Sheila and came to warn her not to trouble you no matter what happened, Mister Hart. Not long after that, Sheila was kidnapped and she was just a woman who hadn't been in such a situation before. She had no one and was on edge."When Mister Hart finally rushed to her rescue and they were about to escape, Miss Shaw kept calling and exposed them to the kidnappers. That’s how Mister Hart got shot while protecting Sheila..."She paused and said, "Miss Shaw, what you said was right. Mister Hart would've never gotten hurt if he hadn't gone to rescue Sheila, and it has nothing to do with your call. However..." She turned to look at Vicky in confusion. "What happened yesterday, Miss Shaw, for you to keep calling Mi
Knock, knock!Someone knocked on the door, and Harry walked in with Adam.The two were informed by the doctors that Tyler had regained consciousness and were both stunned to see so many people inside the room.They were about to greet Tyler when he said, "Find who kidnapped my wife last night."The two froze. "Kidnapped?"They turned to look at Vicky, and Adam was completely dumbfounded. "Mister Hart, did she say she was kidnapped?"As he wondered how Vicky could make up such a ridiculous excuse, Tyler narrowed his eyes coldly. "Go!"Harry and Adam shot each other a knowing look, before leaving without further delay....Two hours later, Harry and Adam walked into the room with the results.Harry had a slightly odd look on his face, but Adam was never a person who could keep his thoughts to himself and did not try to hide his contempt.Though Adam had thought that Vicky's claim was ridiculous, he did not rule the possibility out completely and even suspected that Vicky was t
