Chapter 1424
This time, the bullet pierced Tyler, and his blood swiftly stained his shirt. Stunned, he looked down at
his chest and froze. i
After some time, he slowly looked up at Vickyâs unforgiving expression.
Her eyes wavered a little when their eyes met.
âTyler, Iâve told you to stop,â she forced herself to say calmly.
Tyler smiled mockingly. He looked at the half-unconscious Harvey and was about to punch him again
when another bullet hit him in the chest.
Blood spurted everywhere and he staggered back involuntarily, causing more blood to drip down to the
floor. It was as though red flowers bloomed wherever his blood landed.
Vicky quickly ran up and helped up Harvey, who had fallen to the ground. âHarvey, are you okay?â
âNever better,â said Harvey weakly.
âTyler is too hurt to summon his men back for the time being. Letâs get out of here quickly.â
With Vickyâs support, she and Harvey left the place without a second thought.
Tyler clutched his chest and looked at Vickyâs retreating figure before blacking out to the floor.
A month later, in a room inside a mansion.
Harvey turned to Vicky, who looked outside the window.
âVicky, are you really going to leave?â he asked softly.
âTyler will never forgive me for shooting him. He might even kill me that other than leaving this place.â
âIâm sorry. Itâs all my fault. If it werenât because of me, you and Tylerâ¦â
âNo. Things wouldnât have ended well for me and Tyler even if you breaking, and you were just a
convenient excuse,â Vicky chimed in calmly.
Vicky did not seem to want to talk about that topic anymore, so she turned to Harvey and asked, âHas
all the arrangement been made?â
âYeah,â said Harvey solemnly. âStoneford City has been in a lockdown for the past month. People can
come in but canât go out, so itâs not that easy to get out of the city now. Still, our chances of being
discovered will get higher the longer we stay. Iâve asked my men to look into the matter, and they
reported back that itâs best to leave today.â
Vicky nodded. âOkay. Letâs get a move on, then.â
âAs you wish.â
Vicky walked out of the mansion with a tired expression when she spotted a familiar figure leaning
nonchalantly against the car door from the corner of her eyes.
The figure was smoking a cigarette, and the smoke clouding his head made it difficult for Vicky to see
his face clearly.
After the smoke had cleared, Vicky was stunned to see who it was.
âTylerâ¦â
Hearing her calling his name, Tyler slowly raised his head and looked at her coldly. âSo, have you been
enjoying yourself with Harvey for the past month?â he asked.
Vickyâs eyes trembled with disbelief. âTyler, youâ¦â
Tyler smirked. âCome now, youâre making it seem like youâre the victim here when you shot me twice so
you can elope with-â
Before he could finish his sentence, Harveyâs angry voice cut him off.
âTyler, can you please just come back to reality?! Stop making up things that didnât happen!â
