Vicky did not feel anything else other than finding it shocking to hear about the past from Tyler. Maybe she never loved Harvey before.While she was immersed in her thoughts, Tyler coldly added, "Oh, right. Do you know Maria is Harvey's sister?"Vicky was baffled by this. "I…heard it from someone."Tyler's tone was cold. "Maria is a spoiled and proud girl. Before you were engaged to Harvey, she always hated you. After you became her brother's fiancee, your relationship with her only worsened. Every time you two fought, Harvey would always side with her."He looked at Vicky. "That was why Maria dared to cause trouble for you all the time; someone will always be there to protect her."Vicky hated Maria with the same weight she did with Sheila. From the first day she met Maria, she never had a good impression of her.A question popped into her mind. "You looked like you were close to her."Tyler explained indifferently, "The enemy of your enemy is your friend.""But you should be
After being shocked in that short moment, Vicky managed to calm herself."Tyler, what do you mean?"'It's just a divorce. Is he really going to kill me?' she thought.Tyler emotionlessly replied, "There is no such thing as a divorce in my life—only a deceased partner."It was so frustrating for Vicky that she ended up laughing. "You're the one having seen and shown to the world that you have another woman in your life, yet you want to lock me in this ridiculous marriage.""This is your choice." Tyler remained cool. "You were the one who begged me to marry you.""I regret it now!" hissed Vicky."Regret?" With an apathetic expression, Tyler coolly said, "You've lost the right to regret from the day you married me."He carefully touched her exquisite eyebrows and eyes. Gentle he was like they were a loving couple. "Vicky, I told you before I'm a clean freak. I don't care how many relationships you had in the past, but from the first day of our marriage, the dominance of this marri
"You can get any type of woman you want with your status and power," Vicky answered, gritting her teeth. "You can sleep with any woman you want. I don't care."It made no difference to her if he was sleeping with Sheila or other women, especially when she had no control over him or the ability to end this marriage. At the very least, she did not have to satisfy his needs while enduring that disgusting scent on him."I can sleep with other women…" repeated Tyler. A sinister feeling crossed his eyes.Suddenly, he tore apart Vicky's clothes. "Like this?"Vicky instinctively grabbed at her clothes. "Tyler! Have you gone mad?!""How generous Missus Hart is," he said coldly as he used more force."Too bad…" he whispered into her ear, murmuring. "None of them satisfy me like Missus Hart."Vicky's eyes widened in horror as she shrieked, "You're a jerk!"The response she got was a contemptuous laugh as he briskly carried her and entered the bedroom.She struggled vehemently to free her
Tyler said Harvey once gave her away to another man like she was a pet, yet she was not even a pet to Harvey. She was just his toy.A pet would receive love and tenderness from the master in moments when the master was happy. Meanwhile, the owner of a toy could play with the toy however he liked. It did not matter if the toy was broken; he would just get it replaced.…After a difficult shower, she limped her way to the door and wanted to leave. This place suffocated her so much that she did not feel like staying a minute longer.When she opened the door, she found two bodyguards in black suits. One of them immediately said, "I'm sorry, Miss Shaw. You're not allowed to leave the room."Vicky was baffled by this. "I can't leave this room? What do you mean?"The other bodyguard said, "It's an order from Mister Hart. You're not allowed to leave the room as of now."She understood it this time, and one of her hands balled into a fist. "He has no right to keep me here!"The other bo
Tyler sneered sarcastically like he expected to get that answer from Vicky."How coincidental. Bumping into him in Stoneford City and here in Arrowtown… How faith worked miraculously to bring you two together."Vicky ignored his sarcasm and said coldly, "You have no right to keep me here. Let me out!""What's wrong? It's only been a day since you last met Harvey. Are you missing him like crazy now?" Tyler continued with his sarcasm."Tyler Hart, are you a sicko or what?!" Vicky huffed.Tyler said faintly, "I guess you're not that eager to go out."Vicky took a few deep breaths to force herself to calm down. "What do you want?""I made it very clear to you."For a short period, Vicky said nothing.Her soft voice only came through to the other side of the phone after a while. "Is Sheila that important to you?""What?"Vicky chuckled. "You really have outdone yourself to make me apologize to her.""What?""You had someone be an eyewitness because I refused to apologize to her
Vicky trembled upon hearing the guard's response. "What did you say?"Both of the bodyguards did not dare to look into her eyes. "Please go back to the room, Miss Shaw."She stood there, stiffly, unmoving for a long time before her legs could carry her back into the room.By then, it was already evening. She had not eaten anything, and her stomach growled in pain. As she stood in front of the window, she looked at the scenery outside with no emotion. Her eyes were hollow and empty.Ring, ring, ring!The sudden ringtone broke the stiff silence in the room, and it pulled Vicky back to reality where she looked for her phone. When she saw it was 'Mister Kirby' calling her, she felt a heavy sense of irony. She did not have the time to change his caller ID yet.To be precise, she had not deleted his number from her contact list.After a deep thought, she decided to answer the call but said nothing in greeting. She continued to look out the window and kept quiet."Vicky," came the dee
If the Shaw family and the Sparks family bonded together through marriage, it would create a strong affiliation and push Johnson Corporation to a whole new level.When one was on the rise, the other was bound to fail. Even if Tyler was the one behind everything, it was not really a problem thinking from where he stood.Vicky said calmly, "No matter who's behind everything, you deserted me and chose another person."This incident was a stain in Harvey's life that he could never get rid of. Regardless of the difficulties he faced at that time, everything sounded like excuses when this topic was brought up."I'm sorry." Harvey solemnly apologized to her. "Everything that happened in the past is my fault. That's the reason why I came back this time. I want to compensate you for all of the things I did to you."Vicky was not moved or was about to believe him. "So you never thought of starting over when you come back here?""Vicky, Johnson Corporation's main focus isn't here in Zendoni
After hearing what Harvey said, Vicky still was not stirred.The feud between her and Tyler was between them and them alone; it had nothing to do with Harvey or anyone else. Before her memory recovered, she would not trust anyone."I'll think about what you said, Mister Sparks. If there's nothing else, I'm going to hang up."Harvey knew Vicky did not believe in him or took the things he said into consideration. Thus, he did not try to persuade her anymore. "If you ever second-guess this whole thing or need my help with anything, just call me."Vicky responded perfunctorily and hung up the phone. As soon as she did that, someone knocked on the door.Knock, knock, knock!This startled her.'Who can it be? Don't tell me it's Sheila,' she thought. Immediately, she refuted that thought. Tyler had arranged for two strong bodyguards to stand outside the door. Even if Sheila was a stupid girl, she would not come to look for her.Vicky slowly walked to the door to open the door."Good
