Harvey felt as though he was being strangled.
Tyler observed the dark look on Harveyâs face and calmly continued insulting him. âVicky sacrifices
herself to save you, so I guess her feelings for you are genuine. You should be happy about that,
Mister Sparks.â
Harvey sneered. âIâm amazed that you look proud of yourself, Tyler Hart, despite having used
despicable means to force yourself on Vicky.â
Tyler was not at all provoked. âThis is merely the jungleâs rule.â
âBut Vicky doesnât even want to be with you!â
âHarvey Sparks, you seem to be mistaken.â He stared down at Harvey expressionlessly. âI want a
woman, not to marry her or to treat her like a princess. After all, who cares what a toy or a pet feels?â
Harvey and Vicky, who already knew what Tyler thought of her, both felt extremely humiliated.
âTyler, you *sshole!â Harvey finally lost his temper.
Vicky, whom he treasured, was humiliated and defiled, yet Tyler dared to insult her so indifferently!
Harveyâs fury reached its peak.
Vicky noticed Harvey wanting to get out of bed and hurriedly stopped him. âHarvey, your injuries
havenât healed yet. You canât get out of bed!â
âLet go, Vicky! Iâm going to give this jerk a piece of my mind today!â
âDonât be foolish, Harvey. Your body isnât in any condition to take him on. Besidesâ¦â A hint of
weariness crept into Vickyâs expression. âEven if you really settle the score, what difference will it
make?â
The outcome was already determined.
Harvey stopped, and the anger on his face gradually dissipated. He managed a bitter smile. I might as
well have died in that car accident or on the operating table.â
Vicky shook her head. âThereâs nothing more important than life.â
âVicky, I⦠Iâm sorry.â
Vicky would never be entangled with Tyler again if it was not for him. He thought that with the
stabilization of his business foundation, he could protect Vicky and shield her from even the slightest
threat. However, he did not anticipate how cunning and despicable Tyler could be.
Gazing at Harveyâs pale yet resolute face, tears welled in Vickyâs eyes. âI should be the one
apologizing.â
If she had not accepted Harveyâs proposal, Tyler would not have acted against him so ruthlessly
Evidently, they both underestimated Tylerâs depravity.
Tyler observed this scene of emotional outpouring and smirked cynically. âAre you two done playing
Romeo and Juliet?â
Vicky helped Harvey back onto the bed and told him, âRest and recover well. Iâm leaving now.â
âVickyâ¦â Harvey gazed at her face, his eyes reflecting a mixture of reluctance, frustration, and
helplessness.
He was so close to finally getting her; Harvey sensed that she truly seemed determined to start anew.
He was merely a step away from entering her heart. 3
Vicky smiled at Harvey and turned to leave.
All of a sudden, she felt her sleeve being grabbed, and she paused for a moment.
She looked back at Harvey, who did not say a word. He simply gazed at her intensely, devotedly.
Vickyâs heart ached at the sight. She gently pulled her sleeve away and whispered, âHarveyâ¦this is
goodbye.â
