Vicky opened her door to find Edward outside. "Ed?"Edward looked at her and smiled. "Vicky, I need to speak with you. May I come in?"After the accident, it was already quite late by the time everyone returned to the hotel."Ed, it's late. We can talk tomorrow," she said and was about to close the door when Edward reached out and stopped her from closing it."Vicky Shaw, you are just a wh*re, right? Just name your price for one night."Vicky's expression darkened as she spat coldly, "Scram."Edward sneered in contempt. "You're just a woman who'll sleep with whoever can pay. Stop acting all high and mighty. Do you think that I can't afford what Charlie and Tyler Hart can?" he said and tried to barge in.Vicky had not expected Edward to be this bold. "Edward, I'm going to shout if you don't leave right now."Edward did not mind. "Everyone in the crew knows what kind of a woman you are now. Even if they hear you, they'd just think that you seduced me!"Vicky tried to shut the do
Vicky's palms were covered in sweat, but she held her composure. "Edward, didn't you say that Tyler Hart was just toying with me? You said that people would just think that I'm seducing you even if they find out, right? What are you afraid of, then? Why bother hanging up the call?"Despite what Edward had said, he would suffer if Vicky caused a scene as nothing was more threatening than scandals to public figures like him. Vicky was not an idol, and the scandal would not affect her no matter what happened.Edward had only said what he said as an attempt, thinking that Vicky might accept his advances if she truly was the kind of woman everyone said she was.Since Vicky was clearly fighting back, he knew that he would suffer severe consequences if words about this spread.Edward gave up and forced himself to remain calm. "As if I'd really want a wh*re like you!" he said before hurrying away.Once he left, Vicky slammed the door shut, and once she was sure that he was gone, she colla
The look in Tyler's eyes darkened as he looked at Vicky. "This is what you call someone barging into your room?"It was not until this moment that she recalled that she had sought Tyler's help, and finally registered the fact that Tyler had actually come to her rescue. "Tyler, I—"Before she could explain, he interrupted her cruelly, "Vicky Shaw, since when have you become such a despicable woman?"His words were like blades stabbing into her heart, and her blood ran cold."Despicable?" She smiled bitterly. "Asking you for help is despicable?""Help?" Tyler mocked. "You're standing right here, safe and sound. Am I supposed to believe that you were in trouble?""So it can only be counted as trouble when Sheila drowns, huh?"Tyler's expression stiffened at the mention of Sheila. "How dare you mention Sheila, Vicky?"She looked up to meet his eyes and chuckled faintly. "Are you saying that I don't even have the right to mention her name now?""Yes," Tyler spat coldly.Her eyelas
Tyler seemed to have a plan and commanded, "Apologize to Sheila, and I'll deal with the rest."Vicky's blood ran cold, despite it being summer."I won't apologize." She stared at him with determination and enunciated, "Tyler Hart, I'm divorcing you."He narrowed his eyes and grabbed onto her wrist. Just when he was about to speak, his phone rang.He answered it, and Maggie's panicked voice came through the speaker, "Mister Hart, we're in trouble! Someone leaked the news about Sheila's accident, and the reporters are swarming outside her room... Hey, stop! Sheila can't accept any interviews at her state now! Please understand..."There were a lot of background noises, and before Tyler could respond, the call ended abruptly.His expression darkened and he was about to leave when he noticed that Vicky was observing him with a faint smile. His figure was reflected in her crystal-like eyes.He was still holding onto her wrist, and as they locked gazes, neither of them looked away.S
[Breaking news! Sheila Young's drowning accident had been a scheme!][Shocking! The beauty seen with Charlie before was actually the culprit behind Sheila Young's accident?]The next morning, a few articles became the talk of the entire internet.Vicky's phone had not stopped ringing since then.There were calls from the directors, the producers, and people like Mindy and Cece.While the crew called on an emergency meeting, another article was released. By the time Vicky learned about it, the article became the top search online, and she clicked inside to find photos of her.[The long history of affairs of fashion designer, Miss S, whose beauty rivals our star, Sheila Young.]Underneath the title were a few photos and some descriptions that come along.[We first started noticing Miss S when the scandal about Charlie surfaced. Someone saw her coming in and out of a hotel with Charlie and suspected that she was his girlfriend. Once public statements were released, it was proven t
[It's attempted murder! Let's contact the police to arrest this murderer!][She's disgusting! Vicky Shaw, get out of Zendonia!]Instantly, Vicky became the most hated woman in the entire country.She glanced through the comments expressionlessly and took a deep breath after shutting off the screen to think of a way out.Knock, knock!Just then, she heard knocking on the door, followed by a familiar voice. "Miss Shaw, I'm Harry. Mister Hart has asked me to escort you to the hospital."She slowly began to regain her composure at the sound of Harry's voice as she remembered that Tyler had ordered her to go to the hospital and apologize to Sheila.Not bothering to open the door, she said, "I'm not going."Harry's voice came through the door faintly. "Miss Shaw, Mister Hart said that it's best for you to come.""And if I refuse to?" She chuckled darkly.After a brief moment of silence, Harry said, "Mister Hart said you'll come to regret it.""I will never regret it!"With that,
A group of young women charged toward Vicky, each holding eggs, tomatoes, or water bottles. They started throwing whatever they had in hand at Vicky once they spotted her."You b*tch! How dare you try to drown Sheila?! Die!""You disgusting plastic b*tch! If men see what you really look like, they might just all run away!""You should be sentenced to death!"The young women were hysterical. Their features were twisted with rage and resentment, and those who did not know what happened would think that Vicky had murdered their families.Vicky came to an assumption that the young women had to be Sheila's fans.There was no point in reasoning with fanatics, so she immediately backed away into the hotel.Seeing how she was running away, the fans ran after her."Hurry! Catch that b*tch! Don't let her get away!""Karma will get her! If justice isn't served, we'll give her the punishment she deserves!""Avenge Sheila!"The security in the five-star hotel was strict, and the guards i
At first, the people who came were only destroying the studio, but when Cece called Sheila the 'shameless homewrecker', they were provoked into violence.Since Cece was outnumbered, she soon ended up in the hospital and was still livid when she talked about it. "Vicky, all you need to do is post your marriage certificate and those people will shut up!"Cece might be reckless, but she was not a fool.The marriage between Vicky and Tyler had not been announced, and she dared not to mention it even in a fit of rage when she was arguing with those people.Vicky stood by the window and gazed down at the guards patrolling around the hotel and the people outside.There were Sheila's fans, reporters, and a crowd that gathered for the drama."It won't work," Vicky said bitterly. "Even if I announce that I'm his wife, they'd still accuse me of cheating on him with Charlie and Edward."The people on the internet did not care about what was right and what was true."Besides, this has to be
