The way Tyler stared at Vicky looked like he was watching his own wife cheat.Aurora did not know why she felt this way, but from her perspective, Tyler looked like a beast that lurked in the dark with his eyes possessively fixed on his prey.However, she could not understand why he would divorce Vicky if he still had feelings for her.Sometime later that day, Vicky and Elijah finally stepped out of the shop. Tyler, who had been staring at them, scowled and followed them out.Aurora was taken aback by a sudden different expression before hurrying after him. "Tyler, where are you going?"Tyler pushed Aurora out of his way. "I need to do something. You should carry on with choosing your wedding dress."With that, he did not give Aurora the chance to respond and strode out....The taxi Vicky called quickly arrived. As she was about to get in, she was suddenly pulled away by a strong force.Vicky turned back in surprise.Under the flickering light of the uncertain streetlamp, sh
"If you're hungry and need the company, Ms. Starling can join you instead. I've already eaten, so let me go!"Tyler disregarded her rejection and pulled her wrist, heading towards his car. "Let's go."Vicky could not bear it any longer. "Tyler, enough! We're divorced. I don't want anything to do with you anymore. Plus… If you're so fond of finding mistresses, just wave your hand, and countless women will willingly throw themselves at you. Why bother your ex-wife that you chose to abandon?"Tyler looked at her and calmly uttered a few words. "Because it's new."Vicky was dumbfounded. "New?""I've never kept a mistress before," he said. "I also want to experience what it feels like to keep a mistress. Especially when..." He affectionately stroked her hair, his thin lips slightly curved. "Transforming my former wife into a mistress sounds quite interesting."Vicky clenched her fists as she struggled to contain her impending outburst of emotions.She gazed into his eyes, enunciating
"Go ahead and cheer your girlfriend up. Stop upsetting her," someone in the crowd cheered."If you surprise her more often, she won't be mad at you.""Yeah, send her more flowers or something."Tyler nodded at the others' advice. "Thank you. I will do so."With that, he took Vicky's hand to leave, but Vicky remained frozen in place."Hey, man. I know a way you can appease your girlfriend's anger immediately," someone said.Tyler turned to the person who spoke. "I'm open to suggestions."The person smirked. "Kiss her."The crowd instantly cheered. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"Vicky never intended to get involved with Tyler, but little did she know… She was already slowly digging her own grave.At this moment, the crowd around them grew larger and larger. Those who arrived later didn't know what was happening. Upon hearing everyone shouting, they assumed it was a proposal and joined in the commotion.Vicky's face flushed with alternating shades of red and pink, knowing she was stuck wi
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Vicky chose not to act recklessly and instead left hand-in-hand with Tyler.The onlookers could not help but discuss in hushed voices. "What a perfect couple they are. It would be a pity if they broke up.""Well, young couples argue and quarrel. Isn't that normal for the youth? Who hasn't gone through that stage anyways?""From the way they look at each other, it's clear they can't stand to part from each other... I have a knack for judging people. Trust me."Once out of sight from the crowd, Vicky coldly let go of Tyler's hand. "I have something else to do. I'm leaving."Tyler grabbed her back tightly. "Join me for a meal first. I'll take you back later.""Not a chance." Vicky's tone was icy. "And I can get back home on my own. Please, let go of my hand. Now.""And if I don't? Are you planning to call for more help?"Vicky's expression stiffened. This man was too cunning. She had intended to teach him a lesson, but she did not expect him t
Vicky didn't even have the chance to continue when the taxi driver — who had been wiping his sweat — pointed at her and exclaimed loudly, "It's her! She was in my car not too long ago and put her things in the trunk... Officer, I'm innocent. Those things aren't mine!"Vicky did not expect to encounter such a situation on her way home and was momentarily taken aback, but she quickly regained her composure.She looked at the several police officers surrounding them and asked, "May I know the time you received the report?""Ten minutes ago."Vicky felt relieved. "Ten minutes ago? I hadn't even boarded this taxi at that time..."The taxi driver interrupted again, "Officers, don't listen to her nonsense. She was already in the car at that time!"The police officer looked at Vicky and asked, "Do you have any evidence to prove that you weren't in the car at that time?""He should have a dashcam in his car, which should have a record."The taxi driver said, "I'm just a low-paid service
Cece tried to contact Harvey several times but received no response, leaving her thoroughly disappointed. "He's not answering his phone," she whined.Jennifer suggested, "Should we call Mister Hart?"Cece looked at her. "Mister Hart? Which Mister Hart are you talking about?"Jennifer's gaze flickered. "Mister Lincoln Hart, the one who ordered customized clothing from us.""But… Vicky said we shouldn't contact him anymore..." Cece hesitated. "Didn't Vicky say that this Mister Hart is like... Tyler's brother, and that we shouldn't keep in contact with him?""I really don't think that Vicky is in the position of being picky about these things now."Upon reflection, Cece realized that Jennifer was right. "Well… We could try contacting… Him?"Even though she had not explicitly mentioned the name, they both were on the same page.Jennifer quickly shook her head. "We're not that desperate. I'll reach out to Mister Lincoln first before doing anything else. Maybe he'll know about someth
"I heard that you were arrested for injuring someone a while ago," Anthony said casually.Jennifer's expression darkened. "So what if I did.""You should know that Tyler was the one who fabricated this whole thing right? He might even hold you hostage against Vicky, shouldn't you have known that by now?"Jennifer pursed her lips and Cece felt guilty as well."Do you know why Vicky was captured, while the two of you get to roam freely?" Anthony continued.Jennifer scowled and stared at him intently. "What are you trying to imply?"A faint smile appeared on his face. "Jennifer, Vicky doesn't have that many friends, and the two of you are the only ones close enough to make her do things against her will." He turned to look at Cece. "You mentioned that Vicky wasn't as close with you before she lost her memories, right?"Cece nodded. "Yes, but what does that have to do with anything?""It means that she was well aware that whoever gets too close to her will get smacked into the stor
The afternoon sunlight shone into the office, lighting the entire room.Still, the temperature inside remained freezing cold."On the first day Ms. Shaw was arrested, she met with Cece and Jennifer, and nobody else. Yesterday, Anthony found his way to meet with Ms. Shaw in secret in the afternoon and..." Harry bowed his head, not daring to continue.Tyler leaned back elegantly on his chair, his lips curling into a cold smirk. "Did Anthony take Cece and Jennifer away with him?""Y-yes."Tyler remained quiet for a while."Mister Hart..." Harry asked gingerly. "What do we do now?""Since Vicky plans on being stubborn, let's see how long she will last," Tyler said coldly.Harry knew what Tyler meant — he wanted to keep Vicky locked up but Harry did not have the courage to confirm it otherwise. "Yes, sir."...Vicky had been imprisoned once before, so entering prison again did not make her feel too out of place.Anthony had already taken Jennifer and Cece away, and from now on, T
