Chapter 1500
[If Tyler is nothing but an ordinary man, he might be able to spend the rest of his life with Vicky, but he
canât stand that. Heâs ambitious and managed to build his very own empire. Right now, the Harts are
hoping to restore their glory with Hart Corporationâs connections and resources. He is valuable, so the
Harts will never let him go. Even his parents and that adopted brother of his wonât spare him. And what
did he do? He transferred his shares to Vicky, making her the target of envy from practically everyone
around her. To those people, Vicky is a tool they can use to control Tyler, and sheâs also their
competitor. Tyler isnât himself right now, so heâll have to return to the Harts sooner or later.]
Not himself, huh?â Aurora thought to herself.
There were things everyone kept quiet about, but the truth was that they all knew what was happening.
It was clear to everyone that Tyler and Vicky could never be together.
Later in the evening, Jennifer contacted Noah and Aurora, which was another story on its own.
As a few people emerged from the studio, a handsome figure walked gracefully toward them.
Cece exclaimed, âAssistant Leonheart?â
She had grown accustomed to calling Chris âAssistant Leonheartâ.
Chris nodded in acknowledgment to Cece and Jennifer as a form of greeting, before said, âVicky, Iâm
here to pick you up after work.â
Cece and Jennifer exchanged glances.
Cece was about to intervene when Vicky replied, âAlright.â
Both Cece and Jennifer were momentarily surprised, but Vicky said to them, âIâll be leaving now.â
Both of them nodded, wondering when Vicky had grown so close to Chris.
Walking toward Chris, Vicky was suddenly interrupted as a familiar luxury car came to a halt beside
them. A tall, elegantly dressed man stepped out of the vehicle.
Seeing Chris and Vicky together, a frown veiled his features with an icy, brooding air.
âVicky,â he spoke slowly, his voice clear and crisp. âIâm here to pick you up after work.â
Tyler was not pleased with the condition Vicky had set, but the more challenging their situation
became, the less he could afford to stay away.
His work was demanding, and after his meeting, he realized it was nearly time for Vicky to finish work.
However, by the time he rushed over, he found that Chris had beaten him to it.
Standing beside Vicky, Chris stepped in to answer for her.â Mister Hart, youâre late. Vicky already
agreed to my offer.â
Tyler ignored Chris and approached Vicky to wrap his arm around her waist and lean in close to her
ear, his lips brushing against her skin. âWhat would you like to eat later?â
From outsidersâ point of view, they appeared intimately close.
Vicky turned away, her expression cool. âHavenât you heard Chrisâ response?â
âChrisâ¦?â Tylerâs eyes flashed with a shadow of bitterness. Suppressing his emotions, he lowered his
voice. âIf you donât want to eat out, we can go back. Iâll cook for you.â
Coldly pushing him away, Vicky said, âTyler, Iâve already agreed to dine with Chris. Please donât bother
us.â
Tension rose in the air.
Chris stood silently and did not intervene, allowing Vicky to deal with the situation on her own.
In response to Tylerâs prolonged silence, Vicky turned to leave, but Tyler firmly gripped her wrist and
stared at her stubbornly.
