Chapter 1589
Half an hour later, Tyler returned from his meeting.
He set the documents in his hand down on the desk and glanced at the documents lying on the coffee
table. He narrowed his eyes.
Meanwhile, Harvey and Vicky discussed announcing their engagement, but the group chat was as
lively as ever.
[You two definitely took us by surprise! You literally skipped dating and went straight for engagement.
Impressive!] Noah typed.
Aurora retorted, [What do you know? Vicky and Harvey were engaged once, and that counts as dating.
Theyâve known each other for years, so it shouldnât be an issue even if they get married right away.]
[When will the engagement party be?] Jennifer asked.
Cece commented, [I agree that they can just get married right away.]
Harvey read all the messages and replied, [We havenât started planning the wedding, so itâs too rushed
to get married now. We will get engaged first and get to the wedding part once everything is in place.]
[Vicky, I want to be your bridesmaid!] Aurora typed.
[Me too!] Cece seconded.
[Me three!] Jennifer added.
While playing with his cat, Noah registered the excitement among the others and was reminded of the
trending news a few days ago. Even though the news was quickly removed, he had seen what he
needed to see and concluded that the engagement between Vicky and Harvey was connected to the
incident a few days back.
Noah could not help but type, [Arenât you all getting ahead of yourself?]
Aurora responded with annoyance, [What do you mean, Noah? Are you not happy about Vickyâs
engagement?]
Noah quipped, [Iâm happy, duh. But donât you think a major step like marriage should be thoroughly
prepared?]
A few seconds later, Auroraâs phone rang, and it was a call from Noah.
âNoah, what are you implying? Everyoneâs happy, yet youâre out there being a cold blanket,â Aurora
questioned.
âIâm not trying to rain on Vickyâs parade. I just think you guys are getting ahead of yourselves. getting
engaged? Think about how awkward itâll be for Harvey. We should leave some room for that possibility.â
Aurora retorted, âYou pessimist! What nonsense are you spewing? Why canât Vicky get engaged?â
No. Did you forget something, Miss Yeager? Tyler is in
Stoneford City. According to your theory, Vicky got engaged to Harvey to escape Tylerâs pursuit. Do
you think Tyler can just watch Vicky get engaged to someone else?â
âWhy not? That scoundrel would rather accept being cheated on than cancel the engagement. Maybe
he would be excited about Vickyâs engagement and even find it thrilling.â
For a moment, Noah was a bit lost for words.
Aurora continued, âI know what youâre concerned about, but Harvey isnât a pushover now. Tyler wonât
be able to manipulate him that easily. Vicky has finally made up her mind to move on from Tyler, so
donât spread negative vibes in the group.â
âItâs not that Iâm being negative. I just think thatâ¦Tylerâs sudden return to Stoneford City is odd, and itâs
even weirder that he came for Vicky immediately. What if he remembers something and youâre pushing
Vicky into digging her grave?â
Auroraâs voice faltered. âWhat do you mean?â
âItâs all good now because he doesnât remember, but what if he remembers something? Weâre all
Vickyâs friends, so our perspective is obviously biased toward her, but you need to take into
consideration the circumstances.â i
âSoâ¦?â
âWith Tylerâs temperament⦠If he remembers the past, who knows what he might do out of
resentment?â Noah paused.â You should know how terrible it is when love turns into resentment.
People like that usually destroy things they
canât have. At this point, advising Vicky to be with Harvey right now would be like making her sign her
death warrant.â
Aurora knew how terrifying Tylerâs wrath could be, and her confidence wavered. âB-But⦠Vicky said
she couldnât see any signs of him remembering anything. Besides, if he remembered something,
wouldnât he have kidnapped Vicky and locked her up by now?â she stammered.
âPerhaps he remembers some things but not everything. What if heâs testing Vicky?â Noah challenged.
Aurora mumbled, âDoes that involve dragging her into his bed?â
