Chapter 1554
The temperature in the room seemed to have dropped in an instant. Vicky instinctively looked up at
Tyler and found him staring at her with a devilish sneer.
âVery well,â said Tyler. âI clearly didnât satisfy you.â Despite the smile he wore, his gaze was cold. âIf
thatâs the case, Iâll keep trying until you are satisfied.â
With that said, he dragged her back into the bedroom.
Vicky paled. âTyler Hart, have you gone insane? Let me go!â
âStop playing hard-to-get.â He sneered. âDonât worry. I will satisfy you this time.â
The urgent chime of the telephone shattered the silence of the room, which jolted Vicky awake.
Shortly after, the low, hoarse voice of a man resonated beside her. âAvery.â
âTyler, Iâve already landed. Where are you now?â Avery asked sweetly.
Instantly, Vicky sobered.
âIâm still at the hotel,â Tyler said. âWait for me at the airport.
Iâll be there shortly.â
âAlright.â Averyâs voice carried a note of excitement. âTyler, Iâll be waiting for you at the cafe near the
airport.â
âSure.â
After hanging up the phone, Tyler threw off the covers to get out of bed. Almost inadvertently, he locked
eyes with Vicky.
âAwake?â He rose unabashedly, his voice low and husky.â Are you satisfied this time, Ms. Shaw?â
Vickyâs expression turned grim in an instant.
She glanced at the window. Another morning had dawned. She had, once again, spent an entire day in
the company of this man. The consequences of angering Tyler were dire. In her haste to assert herself,
Vicky paid a great price for it.
This time, she was not going to subject herself to more suffering, so she remained silent.
Since he was about to pick up Avery, Tyler did not push her further. Instead, he got up and made his
way to the bathroom.
After his shower, Tyler meticulously dressed himself.
Casting a fleeting glance at Vicky, who was still in bed, Tyler said, âAre you suddenly having second
thoughts about leaving, or do you want to meet Avery?â
Vicky understood this was Tylerâs way of giving her a final warning before he would show her out.
She had no intention of seeing this detestable man again. Ignoring the ache throughout her body, she
forced herself to take a quick shower.
By the time she emerged from the bathroom, Tyler was already gone.
Vicky had no intention of lingering any longer in this room. Without even bothering to dry her hair, she
quickly left.
Back home, Vicky opened her bag and realized her phone had run out of battery. Suddenly, she
discovered a check inside her bag. Seeing the signature at the bottom, she tore it into pieces without a
second thought.
Just then, the door to the guest room swung open, and Aurora stepped out.
âVicky! Where were you yesterday? You didnât come back all day, and you didnât answer the phoneâ¦â
Auroraâs voice faltered as she spotted Vickyâs swollen lips and the multitude of marks around her neck.
