Chapter 1026

Vicky nodded without thinking. “Yes, just stay in here for the time being.”

She thought that Tyler would do as she said but instead, he asked, “Why should I?”

“What would Aurora think if she saw you coming out of my room?”

Having met her a few times, Vicky knew Aurora was no pushover. Also, everyone knew how difficult it

was to be friends with an heiress.

“Why are you so afraid of her finding out?” Tyler asked back.

Vicky was stunned. “Well, aren’t you?”

“I didn’t do anything wrong, so why should I be afraid?”

Vicky suddenly laughed out of frustration. “So, you’re saying that this is all my fault, and you’re the

innocent party in this?”

“Of course.”

‘Oh, how I would love to beat him up right now,’ thought Vicky.

“You were the one who called me, and you were also the one who seduced me. It was all you. Even

the last time, you were the one who came into my room,” added Tyler.

Vicky did not know why, but she found it hard to keep her cool whenever she was around Tyler.

She looked him straight in the eyes and said through gritted teeth, “Yes, you’re right. It was all my fault

but… you had the right to refuse!”

Tyler raised his eyebrow. “Why should I refuse when you were the one who threw yourself at me?”

“Tyler, can you please stop being a sc*mbag just for a minute?”

Tyler smiled. “Do I look like someone who’s loyal to you?”

“You weren’t like this when we were together,” Vicky blurted.

Tyler’s eyes gradually became cold.

“You know very well that’s all in the past.” Tyler looked down at her with eyes filled with mockery and

contempt. “Since you, Vicky Shaw, were the one who killed the old Tyler with your own hands.”

A shockwave rocked through Vicky’s body. The pain in her heart felt as if it had been stabbed by a

thousand needles.

Knock, knock, knock!

Suddenly, knocking sounds came from the door again and Aurora’s muffled voice could be heard from

outside the

room.

“Vicky, I’ve already heated up the food for you. You can come down to eat it now.”

Vicky clenched her fist and tried hard to keep her voice calm.

“Okay, got it. Thanks!”

However, Aurora remained standing outside the door. “I heard you fighting with someone in the room.

Vicky… are you okay?”

Vicky’s heart tightened. She was still trying to come up with an explanation when Aurora’s voice

sounded again. “Have you managed to settle the matter with your ex-fiance?”

‘Ex-fiance? Does Aurora think I’m on the phone with Elijah?’ thought Vicky.

She did not correct Aurora but instead said, ’Til be down in a minute.”

Aurora decided to let it go at that. “Okay, I’ll be waiting for you downstairs then.”

She then went downstairs and not long after, Tyler seemingly made his way out of the room too.

Vicky started panicking again and quickly grabbed his arm to stop him.

“Tyler Hart, what do you think you’re doing?”

“Nothing. I was just thinking I should say hello to Aurora.”

Vicky turned deathly pale. “Are you insane?”

Tyler was amused at the sight of Vicky’s panicking face.

He looked at her quizzically. “Are you nervous? Aurora grew up in a wealthy family, so I’m pretty sure

she’s familiar with the concept of a kept woman. Even if she were to find out…”

He lowered his head and moved his face closer to hers.

Since he had just showered, Vicky could smell the familiar scent of her body wash wafting through the

air.
