Chapter 1420
Vicky smiled at Tyler. âWeâve been married for years. I know what kind of a person you are.â
âAre you saying you want to share Harveyâs fate?â
Vicky did not bother to explain herself and said, âI guess you can say that.â
âVery well.â Tyler sneered. âI didnât expect you to be so fearless for Harveyâs sake. Back when my
family forced you into breaking up with you, youâve never shown such perseverance.â
Vickyâs gaze wavered.
âVicky.â Harvey shook his head with disapproval, signaling her to stop arguing with Tyler.
âThis wonât work,â she said. âHe wonât let you go.â
âThatâs for me to worry about, not you.â
âSo you knew he wonât let you out of here alive all along, right?â she questioned.
Harvey fell silent.
Vicky smiled bitterly. âDo you think I can still be with him if you die in front of me? If he secretly kills you,
can he and I continue as if nothingâs happened?â She turned her head and gazed into Tylerâs eyes.
âEven if you manage to deceive me for a while, secrets arenât meant to be kept forever. Sooner or later,
Iâll know the truth. Once I do, I wonât be able to be with you.â
Tyler stared at Vicky. âAre you saying you canât survive without him?â
âThereâs no such thing as complete reliance on others. Iâm no exception,â Vicky calmly replied. âI can
survive without him, but I canât stay peacefully by your side if he dies.â
âVicky, I said that Iâd give you anything you want as long as you donât leave me, and you promised
youâd never leave me, â said Tyler, sounding restrained. âAre you going against your words for an ex-
fiance?â
âMy condition for not leaving you is that you stop targeting Harvey, that youâd stop hunting him down,â
Vicky said. âYou deceived me first. You said youâd spare Harvey, but you didnât.â
âSo youâre choosing to sever ties with me for his sake?â he questioned.
A hint of hesitation flickered in Vickyâs eyes, but recalling Tylerâs ruthlessness, she chose not to back
down and said,â Yes.â
Tylerâs expression darkened. âAll I wanted was to see how far youâd go for Harvey. I must say, Iâm truly
surprised.â His voice was cold, tinged with self-mockery. âAnything and anyone can be your excuse for
leaving me⦠In your heart, Iâll always be the least important person that you can cast away. N
He glared at Vicky. âWhy are you doing this to me, Vicky?
Havenât I been good enough to you?â
âYouâve been good to me.â Vicky watched him quietly. âBut that doesnât mean I can accept your actions.
If it werenât for Harveyâs situation, I couldâve continued being with you, but your behavior has crossed
the line, soâ¦â She lowered her gaze and uttered softly, âIâm sorry.â
Tyler knew what her apology implied, and he froze.
His heart plunged into a coldness beyond measure as his blood ran cold.
An excruciating pain tore through him from his chest and engulfed his entire body.
