There was a knock at the office door.Harry walked into the sunny office. Shockingly, he discovered Tyler, who was a workaholic, was actually zoning out."Mister Hart," Harry said softly.Tyler was pulled back to reality and looked at Harry.Harry reported, "Doctor Turner had reported back. Miss Shaw didn't hurt her bones and muscles. She'll recover in a couple of days. Harvey Sparks, on the other hand…"After a moment of hesitation, he continued with the report. "Due to his good performance, he was given six-month parole. Before he was in jail, he still had some connections and followers, so we weren't aware that he had left jail."He monitored the look on Tyler's face and continued, "About Miss Shaw's kidnapping… We failed to gather any information. All traces of the related people and that particular taxi were destroyed. Even the taxi driver is nowhere to be found."After hearing the report, Tyler's expression soured. 'That means no one else knew what happened that day. No on
Sheila quickly put down the script and got up. "I'll make you a cup of tea…""You don't have to," Tyler said faintly, "I'm going to go after saying what I have to."She gazed into his faint, cool face. The smile on her face slowly dropped as she realized something."Are you here because…of Miss Shaw?"When she was reading the news in the evening, she realized all the news related to Vicky was gone. Someone must have taken control of it, and it was a no-brainer to guess who could be so powerful to take down all of the viral news so quickly.Tyler nodded. "This incident has been around long enough. It's time to end it."Sheila stayed silent for a few seconds and smiled. "Miss Shaw still refuses to admit it, does she?"Tyler did not answer that question. "Either of you has solid evidence to prove otherwise in this matter.""Yeah." She looked down and said softly, "Although no one else had touched the costumes before I put it on, I don't have the evidence to prove Miss Shaw was the
Tyler saw how nervous Sheila was and thus said, his voice husky, "If it wasn't you or Vicky, then…it's highly possible Maria Sparks is the culprit. Of course, all of these are just assumptions, and the possibility of it being an accident is much higher than someone causing it."He looked at the time and said, "If anything happens in the future, you can contact Harry."With that said, he turned and left.Sheila was shivering as she looked at Tyler's strong, tall back.Maggie, standing at the other side of the door, was frightened when the door abruptly opened. Her face looked pale.Tyler merely glanced at her and marched away, his long legs carrying him.Maggie felt relief washing over her when Tyler was nowhere in sight. It was then she discovered her back was soaked with sweat.When she walked into the ward, she saw Sheila's face was pale, too."Sheila, what was Mister Hart…trying to say?"She came for Sheila, of course. When she realized Tyler was in the room, she wanted to
Vicky was wondering if it was just her or if Tyler had changed to another person after he found out about Harvey. He was brooding more often than usual.Tyler glared at her coldly as he discovered Vicky was backing up. "I've sent people to take down the news on the internet."Knowing that did not comfort Vicky. Instead, it frightened her more. She did not forget what Tyler told her yesterday that he expected to take back twice the amount of everything she received from him.Vicky did not say anything, and Tyler did not mind the silent treatment. He threw his blazer to the sofa and strode to her. As he got closer, the smothering feeling was even more terrifying.Since her ankle was sprained, Doctor Turner advised her to limit her walking. Thus, she had been lying on the bed the whole time reading a book.A frightening feeling appeared in her heart as she saw Tyler coming at her.Subconsciously, she knew she needed to get away from him, so she kept backing up. However, the sight me
All of her belongings were moved from the room she stayed in previously a few days ago.After having their lunch, they left the hotel.It had been a while since Vicky stood under the sun and breathed fresh air. She missed it so much that she did not want to get into the car.Tyler glanced at her and said coldly, "What's wrong? You're not sick of the hotel yet and want to stay longer?"She experienced cyberbullying, having maniacal fans throwing things at her, and being slandered by reporters. At that time, her life was nothing but misery.Her thoughts changed when Tyler restricted her freedom for one week. By then, she finally understood what it meant by 'days wear on like years'.She was afraid Tyler would lock her in the room again and thus quickly opened the door to get into the car.The car raced all the way to the airport.A man like Tyler would never take a commercial flight. When they reached the airport, she followed him and boarded a private jet to fly back to Stonefor
At this time, Vicky did not understand what it meant when Sebastian told her it was 'not bad' for her to forget something.It took her a long while before she finally understood what it meant. She realized how happy she was during the period she lost her memory.Vicky told Sebastian, "I saw Harvey Sparks.""What?" Sebastian exclaimed in shock. "He's back in the city?""Yes," Vicky replied."Well, what did he tell you?" Sebastian asked further."He didn't say anything specific. All he said was he wanted to take me away from here," Vicky said.Sebastian could not help but blurt, "Vicky, don't go with him, and don't trust anything he says. He doesn't really care about you."Vicky furrowed her brow. "You said Harvey doesn't care about me, and Harvey is telling me Tyler doesn't care about me. Then…who does?"Sebastian sighed deeply. "If it's possible, I hope you'll stay away from them both. They're not good guys. Now that Harvey is back, they're going to make sure the only thing yo
It was not a bad idea for her to start afresh and seek an alternative path elsewhere.While she mulled over this, someone opened the door rudely.Slam!Vicky was startled as she looked at the door, her heart racing.In came Tyler, his expression flat. He pursed his lips into a tight line as an ominous aura emanated from him. She had no idea how she annoyed him again and felt conflicted by his behavior."What is it?"He stood at the door and stared at her for a few seconds before asking, "Do you really need people to keep asking you to have dinner?""I told Nanny Paterson that my work isn't finished and that you should eat without me.""I don't like eating alone," he replied, his tone chilling. "Come down and eat with me.""But my work isn't done yet…""You can continue later," Tyler said.Vicky frowned. "I'm not hungry yet."His eyes darkened. "Vicky Shaw, I'm going to say it for one last time. Get your *ss down for dinner."Vicky did not like the way he was ordering her
"Say that again," Tyler said.Tyler's behavior creeped the hell out of Vicky. Her pupils dilated, and her mind was much clearer than before.She tried to divert the topic with a much softer tone. "I had my dinner. Why don't you go and eat now?""Then, are you going to come down?" Tyler asked.She avoided looking at him. "No. I haven't finished my sketches yet.""Okay."Puzzled as to why Tyler was being so nice, her confusion cleared up when she realized she was hoisted up in the air, and her body became tense. "I told you I've eaten!""Since you've eaten, it means there's nothing urgent to do anymore." He impishly whispered into her ear, "That means we have a lot of time."It was just impossible for Vicky to ignore such an ambiguous hint, and she finally exploded. "You're doing this on purpose!"His exquisite face looked stone-cold, and so was his tone. "If you know that, why are you still trying to go against my wishes? Do you actually want me to treat you like this?""You'r
