Half an hour later, Vicky and Mandy arrived at the police station."Hah! Here I thought you have someone powerful to back you up! I'm so disappointed," Mandy mocked in contempt. She shot Vicky a vicious glare and smirked. "Vicky Shaw, you are so dead!"Since the incident took place in Mandy's house, she took advantage of it and began to twist the truth. "Here's what happened. This woman is the fashion designer I hired, and upon arriving at my house, she took an interest in my fiance and tried to seduce him. My fiance didn't even bother looking at her, which provoked her, so she vented her anger on my dog and kicked him in the stomach!"As if that's not enough, she bit her hand on purpose and tried to accuse my dog of biting her... You can call my house vet here, and he can prove that this woman kicked my dog... Oh! All my servants saw her as well!"The blood on Vicky's hand was so obvious that Mandy knew better than to deny whatever happened. Instead, she decided to point all the b
Scott smiled. "Missus Hart, your hand is injured. Whether or not you were bitten by a dog, you had to be treated. If you insist on thinking that I brought you here to get rid of the evidence... Well, I can't change your mind."Scott was a famed lawyer and was more than capable of answering her question without admitting to anything.Vicky looked at him. "So, how are you going to resolve this, Mister Simmons?""Missus Hart, that dog has been punished, so I guess you can say we're even. Why don't we all make compromises and just call this a day?" Scott's tone was both gentle and forceful as he purposefully avoided mentioning Vicky's injury.Vicky knew that she would have been forced to apologize to Mandy had she not been Tyler's wife.Before she could say anything, however, she heard a cold voice from behind her. "My wife is injured, as I suppose your pet is. Do you honestly think that your dog and my wife are on the same level, Mister Simmons?"The three immediately turned around
Even when she found out that Vicky was Tyler's wife, Mandy was only shocked for a few moments. She did not fear Vicky as everyone knew that Tyler loved Sheila, not his wife.Mandy would have held back if she was facing Sheila but saw no point in showing any respect to a wife who was not loved by her husband.It was out of her respect for Tyler that they did not ask Vicky to apologize, so she would have never agreed to apologize to Vicky.However, seeing how Tyler was treating Vicky, Mandy realized that she had been wrong."Apologize to my wife right now and hand that beast over. Out of respect for the Simmons family, I can let this go."Scott had interacted with Tyler in the past and knew his temperament, so he immediately made his decision. "Of course. I'll have my men bring you that dog later.""There's no need for that," Tyler said calmly. "I've already sent my men to take the dog."Mandy paled and shouted, "No way! Scott, Fluffy is family. You can't hand him over to them!"
Knowing what the look on Tyler's face meant, Vicky got into the car.Harry, who was sitting in the driver's seat, greeted her with a smile. "Don't worry, Missus Hart. I've already sent a lawyer over to the police station, and I'll handle this incident."Tyler went into the car next to Vicky and once the door closed, Harry started driving.Unable to hold her curiosity back, Vicky asked, "How...did you find out about this?""One of Mister Hart's business partners stayed in Eden Resort as well and went to Mandy to see what happened when he saw a police car. That gentleman happens to know you, Missus Hart, so he immediately gave us a call."Upon being notified of the incident, Tyler ordered Harry to look into it, so they were informed of every detail before arriving.Vicky looked up and stole a glance at Tyler, noticing the cold, expressionless mask on his face.She wanted to say something but decided against it under the pressure of his presence.The car soon arrived back at the m
Eric was Sebastian's friend and seemed to have known Vicky for a long time, but Vicky did not remember much about him.Scott shoved at the young woman who had remained silent next to him. "Mandy, go on."Mandy's eyes seemed swollen, and she looked extremely tired as she reluctantly apologized to Vicky. "Missus Hart, I was wrong for what I did yesterday. I'm sorry. Please forgive me."Before Vicky could respond, they all heard a voice coming from the stairway. "If someone chops your hand off and apologizes to you afterward, will you forgive her, Miss Simmons?"Eric, Scott, and Mandy all paled in unison.Dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, Tyler stepped down the stairs elegantly. His eyes were steady and calm, but his words brought chills to their spines.Scott had not expected Tyler to be so angry about the incident.Sure enough, he was.Scott received a call from old Master Simmons the night before, who shouted at him relentlessly and gave him an ultimatum. "If you can
"It's settled, then. I'll let this go out of my respect for the Simmons family."Mandy, Eric, and even Vicky were shocked by his words.Vicky had thought that what Tyler said was nothing but a threat and did not expect him to mean it.Tyler reached the bottom of the stairs as he spoke and walked over to Vicky. "Do you have any other demands?""..." Since breaking one's arm was already an extremely harsh punishment, she said, "That's all."Tyler looked away and muttered, "As for that beast of yours..."Eric instantly said, "You may deal with it however you please.""Since Miss Simmons is its owner, I don't see a point in getting an outsider to handle it," Tyler said calmly.Eric was a smart man and immediately realized what Tyler meant. "I understand. I'll have Mandy beat that dog to death later."Tyler had sent his men to take the dog away the day before to put it down.Scott did not mind what Tyler might do to the dog as his sister's life mattered most, but he never expected
Eric sneered. "That's too much? Once you know what Tyler Hart is capable of, you will know what it means to be 'too much'."Mandy sobered and muttered, "Eric, are you under that b*tch, Vicky Shaw's spell as well? You kept siding with them and even agreed to break my arm... Just you wait! I'm telling Grandpa!"Eric did not bother arguing with Mandy and took out his phone to call old Master Simmons right away.The call was immediately answered and old Master Simmons said hoarsely, "Eric, how was it?"Eric put his phone on speaker and said, "Tyler Hart wants Mandy to kill her dog and wants us to break one of her arms."Old Master Simmons was instantly relieved. "Eric, it's a good thing that you are here, otherwise, not only will Mandy lose her arm, she will drag the entire family down with her!"Feeling extremely frustrated at old Master Simmons's words, Mandy screamed, "Grandpa, I'm not the one who bit Vicky Shaw's hand and Tyler wants to break my arm! Isn't that too much to ask?!
Vicky jumped at the voice, and as she recovered from the shock, she noticed that Tyler was grabbing her wrist and scanning the wound on her hand.His side profile looked as though it had been carved by the most talented sculptor. Her heart raced, and she felt her breath catch in her throat as she saw the focused look in his eyes.It was a strange, yet familiar feeling…and she felt overwhelmed by it.Just then, Nanny Paterson walked over and said, "Missus Hart, what happened?"Tyler relaxed slightly once he noticed that Vicky's hand was not injured. He looked at Nanny Paterson and said, "Her hand is injured. Don't let her do chores like this anymore."Nanny Paterson glanced at Vicky and immediately grinned. "Of course, Mister Hart."Ever since Vicky lost her memories, it was obvious that Tyler had been gentler with her. Nanny Paterson took it as a sign that the couple would be at peace with one another eventually.She served breakfast on the dining table before heading back into
