Alex remained quiet for a long time after that until finally, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Ever since you married Tyler, he has treated you badly and been seen with all kinds of women every other day... Some of the women even went as far as to come to your house to challenge you. You were in agony at the time. Sebastian left the city and I couldn't stand watching you suffer, so I wanted to take you and leave, but you refused to come with me…"I thought you were stubborn, so I knocked you out and brought you with me. Not long after that, Tyler caught us and broke my legs in front of you, all the while humiliating you in all sorts of ways in front of me..." He stopped and gritted his teeth. "You agreed to a lot of unreasonable requests so that he could let me go...and all I could do was watch as he trampled your pride."Alex could distinctly recall how Tyler demanded Vicky to seduce him as Alex watched.Alex was young and reckless then, so he could not stop himself from cursing at Tyl
"Vicky, don't believe what Gloria said!" Alex said. "I've been your friend since we were kids, and I know you. You aren't that kind of person! Even if you did those things, you must've had a reason to do so!"Vicky shook her head. "Alex, there's something else that I need to do, so I should go home now. Rest well. I'll come by again tomorrow."...Once she was back at the mansion, she found Jade and said, "Jade, I want to see Tyler.""Missus Hart, Mister Hart said...that he doesn't want to see you.""If he refuses to see me, I won't sign the divorce paper," Vicky insisted.After spending a fair share of time with Vicky, Jade had developed a general understanding of Vicky's character and sighed. "Very well. I will ask Mister Hart about it."Jade proceeded to make a call to Tyler.Before arriving back at the mansion, Vicky had tried calling Tyler, but none of her calls were answered.She understood that Tyler did not wish to see her again, and though she could respect his decisi
Tyler had been unconscious since, and the divorce agreement was handed to Harry before Tyler exited the mansion.The agreement was prepared before Vicky's car accident, and Tyler had signed his name on it, so all that was left was for Vicky to sign.'Who would've thought that Vicky can be this shameless?' Gloria thought.The door was opened once again, and Harry stepped inside to find the dark looks on Adam's and Gloria's faces. "What's wrong?"Adam explained the situation briefly and Harry turned to look at Tyler. "Mister Hart is unconscious right now, so why don't we...wait until he wakes up?""What are you talking about, Harry?" Adam's expression darkened. "Mister Hart was the one who told us to handle the divorce. We need to get Vicky to sign the divorce agreement before Mister Hart wakes up, or she might do something to change his mind again."Harry shot him a look. "And what if Mister Hart regrets his decision?"Adam scowled. "Mister Hart will never regret a decision he ma
Vicky immediately hurried to the studio.The studio was in ruins with shattered glass everywhere. The desks were moved out of place, and the design drafts were torn and tossed onto the ground.Cece and Jennifer were cleaning up and had organized some parts of the studio, so Vicky could only imagine her studio's horrible state before they started cleaning."What happened?" she asked.Cece and Jennifer exchanged worried looks, but they knew better than to hide the truth."A group of people barged in and just started destroying everything. Once they were done, they... They said that it'll be worse next time if you refuse to sign the divorce agreement," Cece said.Vicky froze. "Are you sure...that's what they said?""Yeah. The leader was...one of Mister Hart's assistants... His last name was Jeeves...""Adam Jeeves?"Cece nodded. "Yeah, that's him... I saw him next to Mister Hart before."Vicky clenched her fists as her heart sank.She did not believe that Tyler would resort to
"Yeah, you didn't," Gloria said sarcastically. "Even if you did, Tyler would've never been drugged. Vicky, did you really think that I'd sink to your rank and sleep with a married man? To tell you the truth, the flask I handed to you contained no drugs. Just water. I wanted to see how far you were willing to go to save another man, even if it hurt Tyler. I didn't expect you to switch the drug to your own out of concern that the one I gave you wasn't powerful enough…"Vicky, I heard that you were responsible for what happened between Tyler and Sheila as well. You think that your plan didn't work out as well as you wanted it to, so you switched the drug and kept full control over the situation. I have to say...your plan worked out. You get the divorce you wanted so badly, and Alex walks free. Now that Alex is freed, you won't proceed with the divorce. Are you regretting what you've done?"Vicky did not know what happened that night because the people who were involved were her, Gloria,
"You're at the hospital. You spent the entire night in cold water and went into a car accident as soon as you left your mansion. It wasn't that bad, and you were just a little banged up, but you have a severe cold and your fever didn't come down for days..." Gloria paused when she realized that Tyler was not listening and was looking around.She was instantly stunned.At that moment, the door opened and Harry walked in with Adam. The two were instantly overjoyed when they saw that Tyler was awake."Mister Hart, you're finally awake!"Tyler pinched the bridge of his nose. "How long was I out?""Five days if we count today.""That long?" He thought of something and looked at Harry. "Have you delivered the divorce agreement?""... Yes.""Has she signed?"Harry bowed his head in silence.Adam stepped forward and said, "Not yet, but I think that assistant of hers, Jennifer, was captured by her fiance... She's probably too busy with that to sign the agreement."Tyler fell into sil
Vicky carried a bag that contained the signed divorce agreement.Attempting to rival Tyler had always been a foolish thing to do, and she never meant to use the divorce as her bargaining chip. She only wished to see him and explain herself after learning what had happened that night.However, she had never imagined that Tyler would be so heartless.'Forget it,' Vicky told herself inwardly. 'We're getting a divorce either way, so why should I be so caught up with what happened and whether I'm being wrongfully accused?'To ensure that she could see Tyler, Vicky asked one of her friends to secure a ticket to Gloria's concert.As a master pianist with excellent skills, sophisticated looks, and a wealthy background, Gloria had gained incredible fame, so the tickets to her concert were extremely rare.Vicky spent over ten times its original price to secure a ticket to a VIP seat, knowing that Tyler would not be amongst the ordinary audience.She entered the concert venue ahead of time
Vicky knew Tyler was a man of his word.Gloria's concert was about to start, and Vicky knew that she would be punished if she affected Tyler's mood.She took a deep breath and turned to leave.Soon, Gloria went on stage and bowed to the audience before glancing at a certain spot.When she found the familiar, handsome face she was looking for, she smiled and walked over to the piano.Vicky had heard Gloria play before, but as amazing as she was, Vicky was not in the mood to admire the music.The concert did not last long and ended in an hour and a half.As the audience left, Tyler did not leave and went backstage instead.Vicky followed him but was stopped."Miss, I'm sorry, but you can't go backstage."Vicky pointed at Tyler and asked, "Why can he go in, then?"The staff glanced over and smiled. "Mister Hart, you mean? He's Miss Shaw's boyfriend, so of course, he can come in and out freely. He must adore her. He's here to watch every single one of her shows..."...An hour
