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
No one would be happy getting slapped in public. Tyler's face turned cold and gloomy as he lowered his gaze to the angry woman. His deep gaze shimmered with a chilling light. "Vicky, it seems you haven't learned your lesson at all." Vicky had prepared many words to say to him, but at that moment, all her words converged into one sentence. "Tyler, you truly disgust me!" After her statement, she no longer paid attention to the gazes from the crowd and turned to leave, knowing that no amount of effort could salvage this marriage. Her wrist was gripped tightly as the man caught hold of her. Vicky's long lashes lifted slightly and asked in an indifferent tone, "Mister Hart, is there something else that you want?" "Are you trying to leave after hitting someone?" "What else is there to do?" Vicky sneered coldly as she glanced around. She then shifted her gaze back to Tyler's face. "Would you prefer that I stay and publicly reveal all the disgusting things you've done instead, Mi
Tyler sneered coldly as he reached for his phone to make a phone call, "If that woman, Cece, won't stay in line..." Before he could finish his sentence, Vicky snatched the phone out of his hand and threw it onto the floor. The loud sound of the phone's collision sent the entire event hall into silence. She questioned with bloodshot eyes. "Why are you so despicable, Tyler Hart? You can target me all you want. What kind of man are you to go after my friends instead?!" "Isn't this the only way to make you fall in line?" He asked. She raised her arm to slap him again, only to be stopped halfway. "Vicky, it looks like I've been too tolerant of you lately." His glare was unfamiliar and cold as he continued, "If you care so much about your friends, go and spend a few days with them in prison." Vicky had not even had time to react when Tyler spoke indifferently, "Guards, take this intruder who trespassed into the banquet and committed assault to the police station." Security gu
The man's tall figure stood silently in the dim light, seemingly merging with the darkness. Vicky's voice was hoarse as she spoke, "I've never forced you to marry me since the beginning. The engagement banquet with Harvey, Gloria's abduction… everything was orchestrated by you, wasn't it? Pursuing Gloria was just a cover for your true motives… wasn't it?" Harvey had warned her that Tyler was behind all of this, but at that time, she did not believe it because she felt that Tyler had no motive to do such things. It seemed impossible for him to go to such lengths merely to be with her. Considering how prideful Tyler was, it would have been fortunate if he did not try to kill her, let alone attempt to rekindle past love with her. Therefore, Vicky did not entirely believe Harvey's words. However, at that moment, it seemed that everything she had doubted was actually true as Tyler's transformation had started gradually after she confessed her love for him. "Tyler, you spent so man
