Chapter 1222
âYou chose to marry Harvey, so I had him thrown into prison. Your family wanted to marry you off to
save their decline, so I had your family business bankrupted to make sure theyâd never show their face
around Stoneford City anymore,â said Tyler.
Vickyâs heart tightened. She had always thought the reason for her familyâs downfall was because they
had gotten too close to the Sparks. After Harvey was thrown into prison, she had no choice but to call
off their engagement, and her grandfather wanted to marry her to salvage whatever there was left to
salvage. However, not long after that, Vickyâs family suddenly declared bankruptcy, and there was no
turning back afterward.
âSo Tyler hates Harvey not because his parents died in a car crash on the way to signing the takeover
but because of me!â thought Vicky.
âI donât just want your body. I want your heart and soul, tooâ¦â growled Tyler deeply. The atmosphere in
the car was so quiet that his voice seemed to echo.
A desire to destroy bloomed in Tylerâs heart when he realized he not only wanted Vicky but for her to
love him back too.
âIâll follow you to the ends of the world as long as I live, but if I dieâ¦â He looked at her with burning
passion in his eyes. âYouâre coming with me.â
Tyler took his hands off the steering wheel and fixed his gaze on her as though wanting to imprint her
face in his mind before death took them both.
âI might be the one going mad here, but.Js that love in his eyes?â wondered Vicky. *1 knew it. Nothing
good ever comes out of him telling me he loves meâ¦â
âTyler, why donât you calm down first?â said Vicky. Her previous burning anger was extinguished by the
cold sweat slicking her back. She regretted not controlling her emotions and triggering Tyler.
He risked his life to save herâ¦even to the extent of taking the bullet for her. She should not have talked
about matters of the heart under this circumstance. No matter how much she hated him, she never
thought of wishing him dead.
âI am calm,â replied Tyler serenely.
âHow can he speak of dying together like it was nothing?!â Vicky shuddered. Tyler must have gotten to
her because, for a brief moment, she actually thought it was the best course of action.
âHeâs right⦠Heâll forever haunt me as long as heâs alive.â However, she quickly snapped out of the
thought. âNo, I canât be as crazy as him!â
Tyler was a bonafide workaholic and cared a lot about his business, so Vicky used this reasoning. the
one who built Hart Corporation to what it is now, and if you die, itâll be all gone.â
âThe only reason a person would want power is because thatâll make it easier for him to get what he
wants,â said Tyler sensibly. âWhatâs the point of having that power if I still canât get what I really want?â
Vicky was so dumbfounded that she lost her voice.
The car started to swerve since no one piloted it. However, both of them did not seem to notice it. At
that moment, the idea of dying was furthest from their minds.
âA failed relationship doesnât mean youâre going to end up forever alone.â Vicky looked into Tylerâs deep
blue eyes and her eyes suddenly reddened.â Iâm sure youâll come to love someone else again.â
âBut I donât want to.â
âYou never gave it a thought.â Vickyâs eyes dulled. âI know I was the first one to show you kindness, but
â¦if you just take that first step, youâll see youâll come to receive so much more love than what I gave
you before.â
âThose things would be meaningless if they didnât come from you.â
Tyler would not have been so obsessed with Vicky if he had never got a taste of her in the first place.
What scared him the most was getting her and then losing her. âSheâs wrong. Itâs not her kindness I
want, butâ¦her.â
