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
What they wanted to see was something that could entertain them and that they could use to judge someone else from a moral and righteous point of view. The truth did not actually matter to them."Vicky, we've given you a chance. Don't blame us for doing this!"The two girls forcefully grabbed Vicky's purse out of her hand.Instinctively, Vicky clutched her purse tightly. The two young women's eyes twinkled evilly. One of them pulled Vicky's purse away and threw it into the air while the other vehemently pushed Vicky away.Vicky's purse immediately flew up into the air before landing on the ground with a muffled thud. The contents inside the purse — keys, phone, tissue, and some makeup — spilled out onto the ground as well.Vicky was teetering and about to fall down after being pushed when suddenly she suddenly found herself being supported by a pair of elegant and bony hands. At the same time, a familiar scent wafted into her nose.Vicky's long eyelashes quivered as she looked up
Besides, Vicky used to be the fiancee of Tyler's number one public enemy…[The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Conversely, the friend of my enemy is my enemy too.]All these years, Tyler did not hold back on showing Vicky how much he disliked her. He hated her because of what happened with Sheila and also of what happened between him and Harvey.Therefore, no one expected that Tyler would actually be on Vicky's side. Even Vicky was surprised. The same went for Maria. Her pretty face was slightly twisted."Tyler, I'm not lying. She's the one who took it!" Her voice was so shrill. "Search through her purse if you don't believe me! My bracelet is definitely in her purse!"Since Tyler was there, no one dared to move. Even the two young women who snatched away Vicky's purse became pale and were trembling with shock.Tyler looked toward Maria. "You said she stole your bracelet because she liked it?" he asked coldly.Maria did not know why Tyler asked her that. She was so intimidated b
Tyler dug into the back pocket of the purse for quite a while. In the end, he said, "It's not here."Maria widened her eyes in disbelief and said subconsciously, "It's impossible!"She clearly remembered putting the bracelet into that pocket! Vicky was lucky the bracelet did not drop out of the purse when it flew up into the air and dropped on the floor. Maria was a hundred percent sure her bracelet was still in Vicky's purse.Maria snatched the purse from Tyler's hand and searched through the entire purse over and over again. Her movement was so aggressive that it seemed like she was about to tear the purse into pieces.However, she could not find the bracelet no matter how. She shook her head repeatedly while murmuring, "It's impossible… It's impossible… Why is the bracelet not in the purse?"Suddenly, she looked up and glared at Vicky with her reddened eyes. "You hid the bracelet somewhere else, didn't you… Yes, that must be it! You must have it on you, am I right?"Vicky snee
Maria's face looked terrible.Sebastian was furious when he saw the scattered items on the floor."Miss Sparks, I know you wanted to make sure that your bracelet was not in Vicky's purse, but was it necessary to throw out all of her things onto the floor?"After saying that, he turned to look at Vicky."Vicky, how do you want to settle this?"Vicky thought for a while and said, "I'm fine with Miss Sparks fulfilling the promise she made to me just now."The crowd was surprised. They expected Vicky to act generously to let Maria off the hook. After all, they were at the Mills family's dinner party, and Tyler had already helped her out.Any woman who thought logically would prefer to leave a good impression in her husband's mind, and yet that was not what Vicky did.It was only right for Maria to apologize to Vicky after falsely accusing her. If not, how would she ever learn that every action had its own consequences?Vicky was still a human, not a saint, after all.At that mome
Sebastian took the chance to say, "Miss Sparks, even if Vicky did not request that, it's only right for you to pick up Vicky's belongings since you girls were the ones who threw them onto the floor?"He then cast an icy glance at the two girls standing beside Maria. "Those who know you know that you are daughters of eminent families. However, those who don't probably think that you two are bullies and gangsters."There was no way they were getting out of it, not when Sebastian had already put it that way. Maria turned to look at Tyler with pleading eyes. However, Tyler remained impervious to her predicament. In the end, she bit her lip vehemently and bent down to pick up all of the scattered items.Sebastian looked away and asked gently, "Vicky, do you have any other requests?"It was only natural for him to ensure Vicky was well treated after being accused of being a thief since it happened during a dinner party hosted by his family.Vicky looked around and smiled. "Miss Sparks a
Everyone glared at Vicky as she walked over to Tyler and looped her arm around his. Vicky sighed and said, "Honey, you don't think my request is a bit too much, right? They would have really taken me for a thief if you had come any later… What if they called me a thief today and a bandit tomorrow? Then who's to stop them from calling me a murderer in the future?"A thought seemed to pop into her head as she continued, "Honey, no matter how much we fight, it's between the two of us and has nothing to do with them. But you're the CEO of Hart Corporation, a powerful person… And yet, your wife is being labeled as a criminal by all these random people… Tell me, are these people really your friends? Or maybe, they never liked you?"Tyler's expression became serious. He gazed down at Vicky. She was smiling at him sincerely, and yet, her eyes were sparkling mischievously. She did not hold back from trying to cause a rift between Tyler and the others. Her words offended everyone there but s
It was just as Vicky expected — the bracelet was indeed in her purse.Vicky looked at the bracelet, and then she explained it to Tyler. "I accidentally knocked Maria over after I said goodbye to Missus Mills. I let my guard down since I don't remember ever knowing her. After that, I went to look for you downstairs, but she started accusing me of being a thief before I could find you."In other words, the whole thing happened because she lost her memory, and it was understandable she did not know who to be wary of.Tyler did not look surprised at the turn of events. He simply asked, "You do know there's a reason why you don't have any friends, right?"Vicky's eyes twinkled. "Cece told me I wasn't close to her before I lost my memory. Is it… because of this?"The last time Cece attended a dinner party with her, Cece got framed and was locked up in jail for a pretty long time. This time she did not bring Cece with her, so she became the victim.Thinking back on all those scandals sh
