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
Obviously, Tyler was not stupid enough to run through old sh*t with a woman who lost her memory. Maria's wishful thinking did not come true.However…Vicky looked out the window at the dark sky. She remembered the final part of her conversation with Missus Mills. She asked, "Where is Harvey now?"Missus Mills shook her head, "I'm sorry. I don't know either. After what happened, he was completely off the radar. No one knows if he is still alive or dead."…Vicky was starting to be more curious about the memory she had lost. She was so eager to get her memory back that she took a day and went back to the hospital to do an examination.However, the result was still the same. She was disappointed.The doctor advised her, "If you are in a hurry to remember the past, you can try hypnotization.""Hypnotization?"The doctor nodded and said, "But you lost your memory because you were in a car crash, not because your mind blocked your memory due to the fact you can't handle it. So the c
Sasha did not expect that within a short month, Vicky would be able to go in and out of Hart Corporation as she pleased. Besides, Tyler would even allow her to accompany him. That would explain why she felt something had changed between the two when she met them in the hallway last time. She mentally berated herself for inadvertently helping Vicky better her relationship with Tyler."I wonder if you have heard from the others just how in love Tyler and I are. Just a few days ago, Tyler not only came to my aid when someone accused me of stealing, but he also taught the accuser a lesson she would never forget," said Vicky in a slightly provocative tone. She pretended to think for a while before adding, "Oh, I think that girl's name is Maria Sparks… The girl who caused your cousin, Sheila, to injure her leg. If I remember correctly, Tyler did not do anything to Maria when Sheila was hurt. Right?"It was so obvious Vicky was showing off to Sasha’s face!Sasha flew into a rage. She d
"Out with it," Tyler commanded.Hesitantly, Harry answered, "I think it's Miss Sasha."...That evening, Vicky finally regained consciousness.The lights inside the room were off, and only the light of the fading sun shone through the window.She glanced around the room and noticed the towering figure standing by the window. Shadows loomed over the figure as he stood with his back facing her in silence, perfectly blending into the darkness.Her heart twitched in pain for reasons she could not begin to comprehend, and through the overwhelming sorrow, she muttered hoarsely, "Tyler."Still weak from the injury, her head was in tremendous pain. She seemed to have hurt her head when Sasha pushed her down the stairs.Vicky rubbed the back of her head and realized there were bandages wrapped around her head.Tyler turned around and with the light at his back, she could not see his face but could sense the tension rising."What happened?" he asked coldly.She rubbed her head and sai
She batted her eyes and looked at Tyler. "Do you still intend on helping Sasha?"He scoffed mockingly and said, "If I agree to that, what else are you going to do next to get what you want?"She narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean?""This hospital is run by the Simmons family, and since Missus Hart has been shoved down the stairs here, their reputation will be tarnished if they don't punish the culprit harshly. The Simmons family is well-known and respected here in Stoneford City for being a righteous family, and since they know who did this, they're not going to let whoever did this run free."Tyler stood before her and lowered his gaze to study her expression. "I'll have to pay a big price if I insist on helping Sasha, and she's not worth the trouble. You know that, and that's why you did this, right?"Her breath caught for a moment, but she immediately regained her composure. "Are you accusing me of framing Sasha for pushing me down the stairs?""No."She stared at him. "Do
"I've told myself countless times that I need to live with my dignity intact and that I can survive without a man, but..." Vicky smiled bitterly. "I have nothing and no one to rely on in this community, and even if I don't want to admit it, I have to acknowledge that I'm helpless without you."Tyler stared at her and asked, "So everything you've done in the past month has been for this, right?"Vicky knew that she could not hold a candle to his brilliance, so she did not bother lying."Mister Hart, I worked hard to take care of you in exchange for something that means nothing to you but means the world to me while you enjoy being taken care of... It's a fair exchange.""So the three months of our agreement isn't your attempt to save this marriage, but the time you bought to plan your future?"She shot him an odd look. "I've been trying to save this marriage for three years, and that hasn't changed your mind at all. What can three months do? I don't believe that I haven't hovered o
