Vicky felt a chill down her spine. She would never dare doubt what Tyler was capable of.
Studying Vickyâs pale face, Tyler lowered his head and caressed her cheek. âBe a good girl. Donât
make me mad, or I donât know what I might do.â
He gently kissed her lips and placed the bank card into her hand. âYou have one week to break up with
Harvey. Do not disappoint me, Vicky.â
With that said, he did not linger and left.
The door slowly closed behind him, and Vicky stood frozen in place.
The news of Avery meeting her so-called âloverâ in Zendonia spread like wildfire.
âDad, this is a setup! There were more people at the restaurant-not just me. Tyler, Harvey, and that
pest Vicky were all there! These unscrupulous media outlets are distorting the truth!â
Avery was on the brink of losing her mind. The incident during the wedding was long wiped out, yet it
was brought up all over again! The raunchy video that had been dealt with resurfaced, and her
notoriety was all over the Internet once more. Negative news about her was just a tap away on her
phone.
Her fatherâs voice turned stern. âItâs not that I donât want to help you, Avery. Your news was released
from Stoneford City. I can control the news in Molivia, but I canât suppress it in Zendonia. Someone is
intentionally targeting you, and for now, thereâs nothing I can do.â
âItâs all Vickyâs fault!â Avery gritted her teeth, her eyes bloodshot. âI humiliated her with a group of
reporters last time, and within days, she had Harvey defending her. D*mn her, d*mn her, d*mn her!â
At this moment, Avery wished she could tear Vicky apart. She never felt such intense hatred toward
anyone.
Vernon Yeager continued, âOver the years, Harvey has shifted the focus of all his businesses to
Stoneford City. His influence has grown rapidly, and even the Hart family will struggle to go against him
for the time being.â
Before Avery could scream and curse, he asked, âWhat did Tyler say about this?â
âTylerâ¦â The mention of Tylerâs name caused Averyâs confidence to waver. âTyler naturally believes in
me and is willing to defend me in the media. But right now, he canât remove the news,â said Avery.
Her father remained silent for a long time, and Avery grew increasingly uneasy. âDad, why arenât you
saying anything? Is itâ¦that hard to resolve this?â
After a prolonged silence, Vernon spoke, âIf you hadnât gone to Zendonia, solving this matter wouldnât
be difficult. But now, the news originated from Stoneford City, and Harvey is relentlessly targeting you.
It would be ideal if we can resolve it in a month.â
A month was far too long, and a day alone was enough for rumors and tabloid stories to spread
everywhere.
