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
"Tyler Hart," Vicky enunciated, "unless you agree to the divorce, I'll never apologize."He chuckled darkly. "Vicky Shaw, do you really think that I can't do anything to you?""Why would I think that? You sent people to destroy my studio and injured Cece as a warning to me, right?"He sneered. "So, you'd rather see your studio destroyed and your assistant injured, and would rather be forced to stay in the hotel while everyone condemns you on the internet than apologize?"Vicky knew that as long as she caved, Tyler could resolve everything considering what he was capable of. However, she would rather tolerate all the contempt and be attacked by hysterical fans than admit to doing something she was never involved in."Yeah. I won't apologize.""Very well," he snarled. "Let's hope that you won't come running back to beg for mercy."He then hung up, leaving Vicky to stare at her phone blankly....A day and a night passed, but the rumors about Vicky had not ceased circulating.Si
"Director Lumber, there are surveillance cameras outside the room, and before Sheila changed into her costume, Maria Sparks was the only one who had been inside—"Director Lumber interrupted her. "Vicky, you've been in the costume room for most of the day as well. Whether it's you, Maria, or someone else... Regardless, we have no proof whatsoever."There could not be surveillance cameras inside the changing rooms, so how the outfit was destroyed would always remain a mystery."We'll continue to use the designs you produced for us, and you've been with us long enough that you should get some rest now. As for the payment..." he said thoughtfully before his phone started ringing.He answered the call, and soon, his expression darkened.After hanging up, he turned to Vicky apologetically. "Vicky, about the remaining payment..."She interrupted him. "Director Lumber, we've known each other long enough. You can cut to the chase."He sighed heavily. "Alright. I've discussed with Direct
Vicky was taken to the questioning room, and what Director Lumber said to Vicky earlier was right: Assumptions could not be viewed as evidence.At the moment, everyone suspected that she had done something to Sheila's outfit, but there was no evidence to support it.The questioning lasted until night, and since she had given no further information to help with the investigation, they released her.As she was walking out of the room, a young officer hurried over to the officer who was questioning her and whispered into his ear.The older officer muttered, "Are you sure?"The younger officer nodded.The older officer turned to look at Vicky. "Miss Shaw, a new witness has come forward, and we need to further investigate your involvement in this incident. My apologies, but I'm afraid you can't leave just yet."Vicky scowled. "Impossible."If there was any witness, the investigation would have never dragged on this long.She wanted someone to prove that she was innocent as well, bu
