Chapter 1418
At 10 a.m., Vicky walked Harvey-who was fully covered by sunglasses, a face mask, and a hat-out of
the building. The carthat came for Harvey had long been waiting downstairs.
Harvey stopped and said, âVicky, this is goodbye.â
She studied him with a conflicted look on her face. âIâm sorryâ¦for all the trouble Iâve caused you.â
âI told you that you never need to thank me.â
âIf you need help, call me anytime,â she added.
âSure,â replied Harvey.
He turned to leave before pausing as though he thought of something. âVicky.â
She looked at him. âWhat is it?â
Harvey walked to her side and pulled her into his embrace, much to her shock.
His deep, magnetic voice echoed in her ears. âIf there comes a day that you want to leave this place,
you can always come to me. This time, I wonât lose you again.â
Vicky had not managed to utter a word when applause resonated from behind them.
âWhat a delightful scene we have here; a great romantic drama between a loving couple.â
Vicky stiffened at the all-too-familiar voice. She pushed Harvey away and turned to Tyler standing
behind them with an icy expression.
âTylerâ¦â Vicky turned pale. âWhat are you doing here?â
Tyler smirked. âYou seem quite surprised, Vicky.â
Vickyâs gaze flickered as she fell into a panicked state.
âVicky, I once told you that youâre not a competent actor⦠Honestly, every time you try to put on a
show in front of me, itâs even challenging to not notice that youâre lying,â Tyler continued.
Vickyâs lips quivered. âDid you already know about this when you came over yesterday?â
âYesterday?â Tyler raised an eyebrow. âI knew ever since the first day you hid him in your studio.â
Shocked, she asked, âWhy didnât you say anything?â
âI just wanted to see how far youâd go for him.â
A lump formed in her throat, and she fell into silence helplessly.
Tyler sneered coldly. âYou drugged me with relaxants, relayed information to Harvey, stole Hart
Corporationâs trade secrets, and even resorted to deceiving me with sweet promises, only so that Iâd
lower my guard⦠Vicky, you truly are capable of doing anything if itâs for Harvey.â
Vicky wanted to explain herself but found herself rendered speechless in the face of his cold
expression.
Harvey stepped in front of Vicky, shielding her from Tylerâs piercing gaze. âI forced Vicky into this; sheâs
not responsible, w
With his line of sight blocked, Tylerâs eyes landed on Harvey. âYou forced Vicky?â he questioned,
amused. âHow did you force her, I wonder?â
