Aurora looked at Tyler with surprise, somewhat unexpected that such words could come from his mouth. Soon, she felt happy because it brought them closer."You're right," she agreed with Tyler's words. "What you mean to say is that one must acknowledge their own position and learn to be content when they have what they desire. Mister Hart, rest assured, this situation you mentioned will never happen with me."As they spoke, the waiter knocked on the door of the private room and brought the dishes they had ordered. Afterward, the two of them quietly dined, and their conversation temporarily paused.Vicky's wound was quickly bandaged, but the burning pain seemed to have spread to her heart, through her veins, and all around her body, suffocating her.She could not imagine that one day, she would be labeled as greedy and unreasonable. She suddenly felt like a mad woman, eager to know what caused them to reach this point of no return.Why did he suddenly stop liking her? Why did he bec
Vicky followed them at a distance, listening to the murmurs of the people around her."They make such a perfect couple! You can tell they come from a prestigious family!""That man is incredibly handsome, and the woman is beautiful, too. Judging by their attire, they are definitely a match made in heaven... Ah, fairy tales are all lies. Princes always marry Princesses, not Cinderellas.""Well, of course. The rich and common folk have different values. There is no way they can be together. It's always been like this since the dawn of day.""There are too many examples like this. Relationships with unequal status never get a happy ending."Along the way, Vicky heard various comments from people and felt a sense of disorientation.'Was that why Tyler and I were destined to be unhappy as well?' She thought.Tyler and Aurora were drawing a lot of attention, so there was no worry in Vicky of losing them.They did not do anything out of line along the way apart from just strolling and
Before Tyler could speak, Aurora could not stand by any longer and interfered. "Miss Shaw, Is this how you always unjustly accuse Tyler? I simply tripped by accident, and he kindly helped me up. You must be misunderstanding this whole situation."Aurora had investigated not only Tyler but also his wife, Vicky.At this moment, as she looked into Vicky's eyes, she saw her as nothing more than an unreasonable and insane woman. She maintained a controlled expression, but no matter how well she controlled herself, her superiority and condescension still leaked through her gaze.That gaze was a sense of superiority that only those who grew up in a true noble family would possess."Did I misunderstand something?" Vicky stared at Aurora. "Miss Starling, are you trying to tell me that you and Tyler are just friends and not prospective partners? That you don't have any feelings for him, nor do you see him as a future husband, and just see him as a regular friend?"Aurora, who grew up in a p
Vicky had a premonition that he was growing distant, but she refused to believe it. After all, it seemed unlikely that someone as obsessed with their marriage as Tyler would change all of a sudden. After another prolonged period of silence, Tyler said, "Let's talk elsewhere." This time, Vicky did not refuse. "Sure." ... Instead of returning home, they went back to the same hotel as before. Upon entering the room, Aurora sat next to Tyler while Vicky sat across from them, as though Aurora and Tyler were the married couple, and she was merely an outsider. Once they were all seated, Aurora called for tea, and they fell silent for a long time. Vicky did not know what to think of the situation she was in. It felt like a confrontation. 'Has he finally reached a point where he sees no point in maintaining a facade anymore?' Vicky thought with a composed look despite all the emotions that swarmed her from within. The knocking sounds from the door interrupted, and Harry entere
Vicky looked up with a cold gaze. "Miss Starling, this is between me and Tyler. Outsiders should stay out of it." Aurora sneered. "Vicky Shaw, do you have any clue what it means to own thirty percent of a company's shares? Forget the bonus each year! You can earn a great fortune just by selling the shares! You haven't contributed anything to Hart Corporation's development, so what makes you think that you deserve that much?" Vicky glanced at her. "I deserve that much because I'm Tyler's wife. That's all." Aurora was rendered speechless. She turned to look at Tyler and noticed that there was no sign of anger on Tyler's face. Rather, he was smiling instead. "Vicky, does it mean that you will sign the divorce agreement if you get all that?" He asked. She froze as she heard the word "divorce" as she realized that it had been a long time since she considered it. Back when she had not recovered her memories, Tyler had repeatedly snuffed out any thought of getting a divorce. Her
Hence, Cece and Jennifer went by themselves, only to find Tyler dining with another woman when they arrived at the restaurant. It was hardly shocking to see a man of Tyler's status dine with another woman, but the woman acted as though she was extremely close to Tyler and even made a point to serve him food on the plate. Cece could not hold back and stormed up to them to confront Tyler, to which the woman said, "Here I was, wondering where this barbarian came from. So, she is Vicky Shaw's friend, huh? Birds of a feather, indeed." Though Cece was enraged by this insult, she did not act recklessly and reminded the woman, "Mister Hart here is married. Please don't be shameless." "Your friend, Miss Shaw, is the shameless one who used her marriage as a tool to obtain as much as she can. She's even dreaming of controlling Hart Corporation... As if someone like her can achieve such a thing. Maybe she's hiding a lover somewhere and plotting to take over Hart Corporation by marrying Tyl
That was what Tyler did all the time. If he wanted something done, he would target the people around Vicky, leaving her no choice but to obey him. Vicky was dumbfounded and felt pathetic. Despite having married him for years, she had no clue who her husband was after all that time. ... Two days later, Jennifer ran into a male customer who tried to take advantage of her and slapped him, causing her to be arrested as well. Harvey, on the other hand, had to travel overseas to handle some troubles. Vicky knew that she could not wait any longer. She called and texted Tyler, but there was no response. She then went to Hart Corporation to look for him, but Tyler seemed to be prepared and had erased the record of her fingerprint from the digital lock on the office door. Vicky waited outside his office for a whole day, but there was no sight of him. She finally realized that Tyler was avoiding her. He offered to negotiate, and she turned it down. At this point, he would not le
However, at that point, anything was possible. With that in mind, Vicky said, "He won't sink that low." "What if I told you that he married you for the sake of taking revenge on you?" Aria retorted. Vicky froze and blurted out, "I don't believe you." "Why not?" "Why would he adopt such a method that brings him so much harm? It's too high a price to sacrifice his marriage to retaliate against someone. He wouldn't do such a thing." "No one can force him to marry you if he doesn't want to. I know it seems too high a price to pay for petty revenge, and I don't deny that it's a common belief. But who do you think Tyler is? When he was young and accomplished, you dragged him down to hell. Do you really think that he doesn't resent you for that? Did you really think that you two can still turn over a new leaf?" Vicky’s blood ran cold. It was not that she had never considered this possibility, but she never thought that Tyler could commit such an insane act for the sake of reve
