Chapter 1406
Harvey had helped her more times than she could count and even once aided Tyler, but in the end, he
faced bankruptcy and assassination. To make matters worse, she almost led Harvey to his demise due
to her carelessness.
It was an understatement to say Vicky felt guilty.
Harvey chuckled. âAfter being enemies with Tyler for years, I know the kind of person he is. Given his
current situation, the odds of him wanting to eliminate me are quite high.â
He had been assisting Vicky with analyzing medications, and he had a general idea of Tylerâs
condition.
Harvey looked at Vicky and continued, âWith someone as obsessive as him, once heâs set his mind on
something, itâs hard for him to change his decision. Iâm not sure whatâs happened between you two
recently, but I assume Tyler has misunderstood the situation again.â
Vicky had not expected Harvey to be so perceptive.
Apologies were hardly enough to make up for what Harvey had been through, yet she had no idea
what else to say apart from apologizing.
âYes⦠In the past few weeks, heâs been under a lot of stress, and his condition has worsened,â she
said with a frown. âWe havenât figured out exactly whatâs happened yet, butâ¦â
She looked at Harvey, and he instantly caught on. âIs this related to me?â
With a helpless nod, Vicky confessed, âUp until now, I havenât been able to figure out how youâre
related to this.â
Their recent contact had been infrequent, their meetings even scarcer. Apart from the parties and the
time Harvey visited her studio when Tyler stumbled upon them together, they had not met again.
Even though Tyler had expressed his displeasure at that time and tried one could still deduce from
Tylerâs attitude that he harbored no intention to kill Harvey.
Harvey contemplated for a moment before asking, âDo you know whoâs exploiting our situation?â
Vicky hesitated for a few seconds before replying, âItâs Tylerâs mother.â
Arching an eyebrow slightly, Harvey continued, âAnd why would she do that?â
âSheâs always loathed me and has never wanted me to marry Tyler. Perhaps sheâs using this to divide
me and Tyler.â
âIf simple manipulations could destabilize your relationship with Tyler, the two of you wouldâve gotten a
divorce a long time ago.â
âAre you suggesting thatâ¦â
âI suspect that thereâs a deeper reason behind her actions, and thereâs a chance someone else is
behind this, using Valencia as a pawn.â
Vickyâs brow furrowed. âShe went so far as to leave the country to avoid me. Uncovering the real
motive wonât be possible anytime soon. Meanwhileâ¦â She shot a glance at him. âYour life is in constant
danger.â
The fate of Johnson Corporation was unstable, and Harveyâs life was at stake.
Valencia was nowhere to be found, and Tylerâs condition was worsening. All of these sudden events left
Vicky feeling tired and helpless.
âIâm sorry. This is all my fault,â she said apologetically. âIâll take responsibility for this. For the time being,
Iâm afraid youâll need to rest here in my studio.â
Vickyâs new studio was spacious with an office area, a changing room, and also a few lounges and
bedrooms for employees to rest in. If any of them worked overtime, they could simply stay the night at
the studio.
Vicky had her own bedroom as well but would return home every day and never stayed the night in it
before. Hence, she decided to move Harvey into her private bedroom.
âAlright, alright. Stop being all formal,â he said casually.
âRest well,â she said. âLet me know if you need anything.â
âCan you lend me a laptop that youâre not using?â he asked. âWhy do you need one?â
