"No reason.""You were the one who asked for the divorce this time.""So what?""If you didn't want a divorce, why did you ask your men to deliver the agreement to me?" She stared into his eyes. "I won't believe you if you try to play it off as a prank."Tyler looked up and met her gaze. "I did want to divorce you, but you wouldn't sign the agreement, and I started having second thoughts."Vicky narrowed her eyes. "Why?""You wouldn't oblige when I wanted a divorce, so why should I accept it when you want it?"Amused, Vicky mocked, "Tyler, don't you think you're being childish?""Childish or not, you're not getting away unless I say so."Vicky did not bother asking what she could do for him to agree to the divorce. After a long silence, she said, "I came here today to speak to you about something, Tyler."He stared at her quietly, waiting for her to continue."I've thought things through and decided that I won't divorce you until I get all my memories back." She observed his
Startled, Cece immediately tried to call Vicky back, only for her call to go straight into the answering machine.She called once again, but the results remained the same.Cece knew that Vicky had been kidnapped multiple times, and since she could not reach Vicky, she could not help but wonder if Vicky was kidnapped or in some sort of accident again.Cece darted out to find Vicky anxiously as soon as the elevator reached the first floor and accidentally bumped into the person who was walking into the elevator."I'm sorry," she blurted out before turning to leave."Miss Lynn?" A surprised voice was heard from above her head.Cece paused and looked up. "Mister Gardner?"She knew that Harry was Tyler's assistant and recognized him right away.Harry studied the panic on her face and asked, "What happened, Miss Lynn?"He knew how close Cece and Vicky were, and he suspected that Cece was panicking because something happened to Vicky.Cece sobbed. "Vicky... Something bad might've ha
"Get out of my way," Tyler said coldly.Selene's breath caught in her throat as fear overwhelmed her, but she quickly regained her composure. "Tyler, you know whose fault it is that Gloria injured her hands. I know you're a busy man, but are you so busy that you can't even spare half an hour?" She stared directly into Tyler's eyes. "Half an hour later, Gloria’s surgery will end. What will she think if she doesn't see you when she wakes up?"Earlier, Selene noticed the dark look on Harry's face and overheard that Vicky had been in an accident.'She deserves it!' Selene cheered inwardly, but she did not expect Tyler to leave without hesitation upon hearing the news.Gloria had told Selene that Tyler refused the invitation to show up for the concert at the end of the month, so it was reasonable for Gloria to expect Tyler to at least remain by her side during her surgery."Miss Rathborne, Missus Hart has been in a car accident. Mister Hart needs to head over to check on her," Harry ex
"No," Vicky said. "I only got some part of my memories back. There's still a big part that's missing.""Which part of your memories did you recover?""The ones of me when I first met Tyler."A glimpse of emotions flashed by Harvey's eyes. "I recall you telling me that you knew Tyler long before you knew me. Are those memories about your time with him when you first met?"Vicky did not notice the odd look on his face and nodded. "Yeah."Harvey seemed curious about her past and asked, "Can you tell me how you met?"It was hardly an unspeakable secret from Vicky’s perspective, so she answered truthfully, "He overheard me playing the piano in the garden..."She paused as she only recalled what happened after Tyler found her but nothing of her playing in the garden.'Gloria keeps saying that I impersonated her... Was I really in such desperate need of money that I pretended to be her when Tyler came looking?' she thought.Harvey noticed that she was absorbed by her thoughts and ask
"Vicky's always been good at seducing men. She spends most of her time with them, calling everyone her friend. Both of her best friends are guys who are in love with her... I think she's been seducing them and has kept them hanging. Will she die if she doesn't have men's attention for once? Why is she so hungry for attention?"Only Selene's voice could be heard from the room, and Gloria had not whispered a word in response.When Selene heard the door opening, she paused and said to Gloria, "I think Harvey is here... Ha! It's about time that Tyler knows he's not your only option."She turned around to start complaining, "Harvey, come look at Gloria! While you were gone, Vicky bullied Gloria with everything she could think of. Gloria saved your life once, so aren't you going to make this right for—"Before she could finish, she spotted Vicky standing behind Harvey and choked.After a brief moment of silence, she jumped. "Vicky Shaw, why are you here? I thought that you…oh, I see!" R
"Gloria, from the moment I saw you, you keep calling me a thief. You need evidence to make an accusation, so what kind of proof do you have to accuse me of impersonating you?"Gloria narrowed her eyes hatefully. "You once admitted to it in front of me and Tyler. Besides..." She pulled out a necklace that was hidden underneath her clothes. "I found this necklace back then in the garden. I confirmed with Tyler, and he said that he dropped it."She stared at Vicky provocatively. "Why don't you call Tyler in here and we sort this out once and for all? Why don't you ask Tyler if this necklace is his?" Gloria lowered her gaze to the necklace and said, "I once returned it to Tyler, but he gave it to me as a gift. He said that this was proof that he got the wrong person back then. He also said that..." She looked up, her gaze fixated on Vicky with determination. "With this as proof, I can make one request to him."She paused before gritting out, "Anything...at all."Vicky clenched her fist
Gloria lifted her gaze abruptly to stare at Harvey. "What are you trying to say? Are you trying to tell me that Tyler wouldn't have fallen in love with me even if he ended up finding me instead of Vicky back then?""Yes," Harvey uttered slowly, his words like sharp blades cutting into her heart. "Even if he found you, he would've never fallen in love with you. Besides, it was actually Vicky whom he was looking for... Gloria, he found the right person, and Vicky never tried to impersonate you."Gloria was stunned for a few moments, but she soon started cackling. Her often-soft voice sounded extremely sharp and unpleasant."Fine. None of you would believe me. You all think that I'm lying. But that would mean that either Tyler or your lover, Vicky, are lying about it as well, right? Or are you going to say that the necklace I happened upon isn't Tyler at all?""None of you lied." Harvey looked into her eyes. "You did play 'The Moonlight Bay' that night in the garden, but that doesn't
"None of them think that this is important, so both Vicky and Tyler didn't think much of it or look into it. Vicky happened to break up with Tyler at the same time, so none of them had the energy to focus on you. That's why the misunderstanding continued for years," Harvey said."Misunderstanding?" Gloria repeated sharply. "Why don't you just come right out and say that I've been living in my fantasy?"Harvey fell into silence for a moment and said, "I know you're not that kind of a person. Besides...it's normal for you to misunderstand after picking up something that belonged to Tyler. Gloria, this isn't your fault.""I don't believe you!" she mumbled and shook her head frantically. "If Tyler doesn't love me, why would he pursue me?! Why would he be so tolerant of me? He even gave me that same necklace that he dropped!"Harvey could tell that she was hanging on by her last hope and shattered her last bubble mercilessly. "That's because you looked like Vicky from behind. He's alway
