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
Vicky opened her mouth to explain but decided against it in the end. "Nothing. I'm just here to help with the investigation. I don't want to keep you away from what you're doing. I should go now."She turned to leave when Mister Kirby spoke again. "Is this because of what happened to Sheila Young?"She paused and turned around to look at the playful smirk on his face."It's been the talk of the town and I've overheard some details."She nodded, not wanting to say too much. "Yeah. I'm here because of that."Mister Kirby remained standing and started chatting with her."I've seen all the theories on the internet," he said casually with one hand in his pocket. "It's ridiculous to accuse you of murder over a piece of clothing. Let's put why Sheila didn't notice that her outfit was damaged until the moment she was in the water. If damages to clothing count as murder, all those sellers at flea markets should be called murderers as well."He shot her a smile and said, "If you are capab
Half an hour later, Mister Kirby completed all the necessary procedures to release Vicky on parole."Alright, let's go."She looked up at him and whispered, "Thank you."He glanced at the time. "What do you feel like eating? Let's have dinner.""It's fine. I—"He interrupted her. "Are you trying to tell me that you've eaten?"She looked away guiltily.Knowing that he was right judging from the look on her face, he said, "I've asked the officers, and you've been questioned in the station for the entire day.""What does that have to do with...whether I've eaten or not?""This isn't a hotel. They don't just give you what you want, so I assumed that you haven't eaten."Indeed, Vicky had not eaten much throughout the day. "How did you know that?"The look in his eyes darkened. Instead of answering, he started walking and said, "Let's go. I'm starving."She remained standing in place and watched as he walked away in confusion.'Am I just mistaken, or is he in a bad mood all of a
The reporters on the outer corner pressed closer toward Vicky, and she stumbled inside the center of the crowd as they stepped over her feet.She had been in a terrible state after being questioned for the entire day and was frustrated from being interrogated by the reporters. She tried to shove them aside, but they seemed to be as tough as a wall of steel."Miss Shaw, please answer my question!""Miss Shaw!""Miss Shaw—"Their voices echoed around her and someone shoved at her, causing her to fall to the ground. As she tried to get up, she accidentally hit a person next to her."Ah! She hit me! Vicky Shaw hit me!" Someone shouted, and the cameras instantly started flashing at her.No one attempted to help her up and simply swarmed toward her hysterically."Miss Shaw, how can you resort to violence?""Are you frustrated because your true face has been exposed?"Another round of confrontation followed as they all assumed Vicky had resorted to violence toward the reporter.The
The man's voice was so cold that it gave people the chills.All the people there looked in the direction where the voice came from.As the man stood under the moonlight, the glow shone on his facial features to create an illusion that his face looked frozen with ice. He looked at where Vicky and the others were. The color of his pupils was even more visible, just like the color and temperature of the deep ocean. His attractive lips were curled into a teasing, mocking smile.The reporters were stunned. "T—Tyler Hart…"At that time, the beautiful woman beside him said, "All the rumors on the internet are fabricated, so please leave Miss Shaw alone. The production team will host a press conference, and you're free to ask any questions during the press conference."This was when they realized Sheila was standing beside Tyler.Sheila was the main center of the incident. The reporters had tried to get an interview with her, but the security of the hospital Sheila was in was very tight.
Tyler grabbed Vicky's wrist tightly and turned to leave. When Vicky's feet landed on the ground, however, the pain from her sprained ankle became even more intolerable.All of a sudden, someone grabbed Vicky's other hand.Tyler stopped walking and looked back at Mister Kirby. Seeing his hand grabbing onto Vicky's other hand, he snarled, "Let go of her."Mister Kirby smiled as if he did not give a sh*t about what Tyler said. "I should be the one saying that."Tyler proudly stared back at him. "Do you think you have the right to say that?"Mister Kirby scoffed. "It's not up to you to say that. The most important thing is…what Vicky thinks."He averted his gaze from Tyler and stared at Vicky, saying softly, "Vicky, do you want to go with him?"Vicky glanced over at Sheila, who was standing not far away from them. 'They came out from this restaurant. I bet they were eating together, and Tyler must've taken the chance to tell Sheila I got locked up to please her.'She put on a strai
Meanwhile, Sheila had been gazing at Harvey Sparks the moment his identity was revealed.She heard about Harvey Sparks before. He had made himself well-known to everyone in the city after what he did.However, she did not know Tyler yet at that time. Due to her small social circle, she never met Harvey either. When she got lucky to have Tyler laid an eye on her, Harvey had already lost to Tyler and left.The people who knew what happened carefully concealed what happened between Harvey Sparks and Tyler. No one was daring enough to mention it.Sheila had only gotten some random pieces of information from several people.After Harvey left the city, it was like he disappeared from the radar. No one knew where he went. His name and photos disappeared from the internet after a night.Sheila felt conflicted. When Tyler was sent to the hospital after getting shot, she had met Harvey before. At that time, it was obvious how protective he was of Vicky.She did not overthink it because sh
"Why? Are you scared?" scoffed Tyler."You're driving too fast. It's not safe," Vicky replied.Tyler smiled sarcastically as if what Vicky said was a joke. "You drove more dangerously when you chased after a man around the city in the past. Why weren't you scared then?""In the past?" Vicky looked at him curiously, "Did I do that to you?"Tyler's fingers tightened around the wheel as his expression darkened, looking as though he recalled something. He did not answer Vicky's question, and he did not slow down, either.Normally, it took half an hour to reach the hotel, but they arrived in less than 20 minutes. When they arrived, Tyler opened the door to the passenger side and grabbed Vicky's hand. He dragged her all the way to the lift.Ding!The lift door opened. Director Lumber and Director Fallon were getting off the lift as they were in a discussion. When they saw Vicky and Tyler together, they were shocked.The rumors in the production team were no secret to them. Since they
