Vicky did not deny Tyler's question. "Last night, your stomach condition flared up. You can't continue destroying your body this way. Since you always forget to eat, I'll bring you food on time."Then, Vicky opened the lunch box. "I've learned a few dishes that are good for the stomach. Try and see if you like them."Although Tyler's character was rather aloof, that did not mean he was unsympathetic.Vicky must have been busy the entire morning to have prepared lunch and brought it for him.He picked up his utensils when he suddenly thought of something. He asked, "Have you eaten?""I'll eat when I head back."Tyler furrowed his brow and made an internal call."Send some food up." Then, he ordered a few of the dishes that Vicky liked to eat.Looking at Tyler's natural and unhesitant way of speaking, a strange feeling blossomed in her heart.After hanging up, Tyler realized that Vicky was looking at him with a strange look, and his gaze darkened. "What is it?""How do you know
"Are you that eager to win me over?""Yes. Otherwise, why would I rather use your promise to fight for another three months?"Tyler's gaze darkened. It was as if he was at the bottom of a lake, dark and cold."You've planned this for a long time all because you like me?"Vicky smiled. "First, once I'm divorced, I'll be a divorcee. A divorced woman will find it harder to get married again. Second, my family has fallen from grace. With my current status, I won't be able to marry a man better than you. It's only human nature to seek advantages. If I can be the high-and-mighty Missus Hart, why would I want to go out and suffer? Lastly…"Vicky looked at Tyler's deep gaze. "I held on so tightly previously unwilling to divorce was probably not only because of the benefits. There might be a deep liking too. To be able to marry for love and gain materialistically is the best of both worlds. So, no matter how I see it from any angle, continuing this marriage with you is the best choice."T
The striking and attractive duo naturally attracted everyone's attention. However, that was not the point. What really shocked everyone was seeing Tyler actually bringing Vicky to the dinner parties because he hardly brought his wife to this sort of dinner party in the past.Many people started whispering to each other after seeing both of them showing up together.Vicky and Tyler did not mind the attention and entered the banquet hall without any changes to their expression.The first person who greeted them was Sebastian."Vicky, you're here," said Sebastian.Vicky smiled back at him. "Sebastian, it has been a while."He nodded and looked at the tall man beside Vicky.Tyler wore a black bespoke suit with a noble and elegant temperament. His perfectly sculpted, handsome face was distant and calm. His blue eyes were the same color as the ocean. Sebastian looked less affectionate when he saw Tyler. However, he remained polite and well-mannered."Mister Hart," he greeted.Tyle
Sebastian furrowed his brows. It was obvious he did not think that was a good idea. "Mother, please."Missus Mills gave him a reproachful look. "Vicky's mother and I were best friends when we were young. Not to mention I've watched Vicky grow up. Though we might not have the good fortune of Vicky marrying into our family, I still see her as my daughter. Do you think I will do anything to harm her?"There was nothing wrong with the first part of what Missus Mills said. It was the later part… that sounded a little off.If Tyler were not there, it would be fine for Missus Mills to say those things. However, since Tyler was there, it did not seem appropriate for her to say so. It was as if she was implying something and trying to sow more discord.Then, Missus Mills turned to Taylor and asked, "Mr. Hart, surely you don't mind me borrowing Vicky for a while to do some catch-up?"As usual, Tyler's expression remained neutral and distant. No one could tell what he was actually thinking.
Vicky furrowed her brows. "My ex-fiance? I used to have… a fiance?""Your family was one of the most prestigious and notable families in this city while you were the most popular Shaw girl," replied Missus Mills.Vicky was born into a prestigious and wealthy family. She was pretty and smart. She graduated from a well-known international university. Ever since she was born, she had been in the limelight—the most talented daughter among all the other daughters of the Shaw family.Four years ago, Vicky was twenty-one years old, the prettiest girl in the city. Men who wished to marry her could form a line from one end of the city to the other end of the city. The rich, elite kids and powerful people would throw money around in the hopes of winning a smile from her."Your parents passed away too early. Your grandpa and your eldest uncle were the ones who arranged for your marriage. Initially, your eldest uncle wanted to have his own daughter marry your ex-fiancee, but that guy did not w
"Miss?" The young girl looked at Vicky curiously. "Vicky Shaw, don't you remember me?"Vicky's eyes twinkled when the young girl said her name. "Who are you?""Who am I?" The girl looked Vicky up and down before answering, "Not only are you blind, but your brain isn't working as well?"Vicky's memory loss had caused her much trouble. It was not that bad normally. However, she got into more trouble at the parties. She did not know what kind of relationship she had with the young girl in front of her. Nevertheless, it was obvious they were not on very good terms from the cold and unfriendly way the young girl was looking at her.Vicky did not want to explain to everyone that she had lost her memory, especially to those who were not on good terms with her.After she helped the young girl up, she let go of the young girl's arm and said coldly, "I don't remember those who are of no interest to me."Then, she turned around and left without any hesitation.After she went downstairs, sh
Maria nodded with her reddened eyes. She wept, "I'm sure all of you know how close my brother and I are. He gave it to me as a present for my birthday. But…"She peeked at Vicky and continued to weep. "She liked it and wanted me to let her have it. We had a fuss about it, and everyone in the shopping mall knew about it.""Oh, I think I remember it. I was there too that day and I saw Miss Sparks and Vicky fight because of the bracelet. In the end, it was… Miss Sparks' brother stepped in and ended the fight," the girl who said that suddenly thought of something, and her voice became lower in the later part.As that was said, everyone gave Vicky a weird look. The weird part was that no one dared to discuss it.Three years ago, she was still the most famous girl in the city. Her past was not a secret. Yet, there was a thing that was prohibited from being talked of in her past. The entire city was under Tyler's control now. Who dared to go against him?Even when that person's name coul
Vicky had not given it much thought and helped Maria up after accidentally knocking her over. At that time, Maria happened to be standing on the side where Vicky was holding her purse.There was an unzippered compartment on the back of Vicky's purse. If Maria was fast enough, she could totally put her bracelet into Vicky's purse unnoticeably.Vicky was well aware of all the underhanded tricks that could occur during a high-society dinner party. However, the loss of memory caused her to let her guard down with Maria, so she fell into Maria's trap so easily.Vicky looked at Maria and said, "That's weird. Miss Sparks, why are you so sure I was the one who took your bracelet when you didn't even look in other places? Did you see with your own eyes that I was the one who took your bracelet?"Maria was not about to back down. She insisted, "My bracelet went missing after you knocked me over. It happened less than a couple of minutes ago. Who else can it be other than you?"Vicky scoffed
