Chapter 26 Sebastianâs expression darkened. âVicky, if nothing is troubling you, you can tell me. Others might be scared of crossing Tyler, but Iâm not.â
The Hart family was one of the most powerful families in Stoneford City, but the Mills family was among those on the list as well.
Feeling moved, Vicky said, âIâve already decided, but thank you, Mister Mills. Iâve caused you a lot of trouble in the past two days.â
He scowled. âVicky, weâve known each other most of our lives, so you donât have to thank me... Donât call me Mister Mills. Just call me Sebastian.â
âAlright, Sebastian.â
He walked over to her bed. âVicky, you might not remember this, but we grew up as friends. I know that Iâm a stranger to you now and you canât trust me, but...â He looked into her eyes. âI know you. You wouldâve never dropped the charges for no reason at all.â
She did not respond.
He kept his eyes trained on her. âVicky, can you tell me what happened?â
All of Vickyâs pretenses meant nothing to the people who knew her. After a long moment of silence, she confessed, âI made a trade with Tyler. Heâll help to get Cece out, and Iâll drop my charges on Sasha.â She then proceeded to briefly explain what happened to Cece.
Sebastian listened to her thoughtfully and said, âWhy didnât you tell me about Cece? Even if you donât agree to Tylerâs terms, I couldâve helped to get her out as well.â
âCece fell into a trap, yes, but she did hit Hector Larson. Heâs the only son of the Larson family, and theyâre not about to let Cece go. Itâs not that easy to get her out.â
The Larsons would not care as to why Cece had beaten Hector to begin with. Tyler had been reluctant to help, not because he hated Vicky and wanted her friends to suffer; he was not that petty. In his perspective, crossing the Larson family for a mere assistant was not worth it. More precisely, Vicky was not worth the Loving You In Secret (Vicky and Tyler)

Vicky was not surprised as she had never been worthy of anything to Tyler. To him, she was hardly as important as Sheila.
Sebastian studied the look on her face and muttered huskily, âEven if itâs not easy, I have my ways.â
â
âThank you for that, Sebastian, but...â She paused hesitantly and said, âI donât want you and Missus Mills to argue over me again.â
Stunned, he asked, âHow do you know about that, Vicky?â Soon, he came to a realization. âDid Tyler tell you?
She shook her head. âI did some research on the Mills family this morning...and found something.â
Tyler had only mentioned that Missus Mills did not wish for Sebastian to be in contact with her, and Vicky instantly realized that there was more to the story. Afterward, it was not at all difficult to put the pieces together from news online.
âVicky, Mother just has some misunderstandings about you...â Sebastian blurted out.
âYou donât have to explain, Sebastian. I understand,â she said with a smile.
âVicky...â
Sebastian wanted to say more when someone knocked on the door and Nanny Paterson walked in. âMissus Hart, itâs time for dinner. You need to take your medicine after this...â
Nanny Paterson froze when she spotted Sebastian in the room. âAnd this is...â
âMy friend,â said Vicky before turning to look at Sebastian. âSebastian, Iâm well taken care of here. You should head back.â
Despite losing her memories, Vicky remained to be the same person as she was before.
