Chapter 1353
Avery could not understand how Vicky was better than her.
Status-wise, she was the only daughter of the Yeager family, and marrying her meant that Tyler would
obtain all the power the Yeagers held. In terms of looks, her beauty rivaled Vickyâs. All that, yet Tyler
could not be bothered to look at her.
Avery felt wronged and picked up the documents on the desk to look through them.
When she saw the words written on the pages, her eyes widened, and her heart skipped a beat.
A few minutes later, Isabella hurried back before she could make coffee.
She glanced at Avery-who was playing with her phone on the couch-and glanced at the documents on
the table. It seemed as though the documents had not been touched.
Isabella sighed a breath of relief before locking the documents into her drawer and returning to making
coffee.
Avery stared at her as she left and narrowed her eyes slyly.
At four in the afternoon, Tyler came to pick up Vicky from work.
âIâm done with work,â remarked Vicky when she received
Tylerâs call, her surprise evident in her voice. âYou⦠Are you done with work, too?â
She kept checking the time, afraid she might be mistaken.
Tyler had been clinging onto her quite closely recently, but his work never suffered. Usually, she had to
coax him several times before he reluctantly put away his work and left the office. No matter how late it
was, Tylerâs workaholic nature remained unchanged.
âYes,â Tyler replied calmly, his voice devoid of emotion. âIâm downstairs. Should I come up, or will you
come down?â
Vicky had spent most of the day trying to gather information from Isabella. After Isabella left, she did
not waste anytime and immediately worked on the tasks left in the studio. However, Tyler arrived before
she could finish much.
Vicky took a moment to think before responding, âGive me five minutes; Iâll be right down.â
âAlright.â
Vicky turned off her computer, put on her coat, and left the office.
Cece and Jennifer were both shocked that she was already leaving.
âVicky, are you leaving?â asked Cece.
âYes, Tyler is waiting for me downstairs. If you both donât have anything urgent, you can leave early,
too.â
After saying her goodbyes, Vicky headed to the elevator and pressed the button to take her down.
However, she noticed that the elevatorâs display screen remained unresponsive.
She pressed it a few more times, but it still did not work.
The elevator in this building occasionally required maintenance, and Vicky was not sure when it would
be repaired.
Considering that Tyler was waiting for her downstairs, she hesitated for a few seconds before deciding
to take the stairs. Her studio was on the eleventh floor, so walking downstairs would not take too long
or be too strenuous.
However, little did Vicky know, the elevator resumed working almost as soon as she entered the
stairwell. By the time she walked out of the building, eight minutes had passed.
Vicky took out her phone, only to find that there was no signal. The stairwell in this building was poorly
covered, and her phone often lost its signal there.
Putting her phone away, Vicky looked around and was about to search for Tylerâs car when her phone
suddenly regained signal and started ringing.
Vicky answered the call to hear Ceceâs anxious voice on the other end. âVicky, where are you? Mister
Hart is going crazy looking for you!â
