Chapter 197

Vicky, of course, was not bothered by Adam’s displeasure.

As she walked into the room, she saw Tyler in bed. Despite the pale look on his face, he still looked as

gorgeous as ever.

She walked over to him and asked, “How are you feeling? Are your wounds still hurting?”

Tyler seemed to know why she was not in the room with him and said,” Harry and Adam have some

misunderstanding about you, so don’t bother yourself over what they say.”

Vicky was never going to feel upset over two assistants’ opinions of her, but she instead asked, “What

about you? Do you believe me?”

He met her eyes and said, “Are you referring to the kidnapping?”

‘The kidnapping? she thought. ‘Is he referring to the time before, this time, or both?

She stared at him for a while before saying, “I was knocked out and taken away by Anthony’s men, so I

didn’t answer my phone nor could I call for help.”

Vicky noticed that she still had her phone when she regained consciousness as Anthony had not taken

it away.

Tyler did not comment on it and said, “As long as you’re fine.”

Vicky had never prided herself on being sharp, but she was not stupid either and immediately caught

onto the way he avoided her question. She stared at him dazedly and muttered, “Do you…think I’ve

disappeared on purpose as well?”

He studied her face and responded in a composed tone, “It’s already happened, and it’s in the past.

There’s no point in discussing this.”

It was the same answer as before.

Her heart sank as she tilted her head to the side and studied his face.” You’ve never really believed me

at all, have you?”

She felt that he did not believe her when she said that she called because she was kidnapped, nor did

he believe that this ‘kidnapping’ was nothing but a misunderstanding.

Though he did not say anything or blame her, she knew he did not believe her.

She did not know why she would feel this way, but it felt like instinct.

Tension rose in the air, and just when she thought that he would not answer her question, he said, “I

believed you once upon a time.”

Vicky froze and was about to question his answer further when they heard someone knocking on the

door.

Harry walked into the room with a file and stilled when he saw Vicky. He smiled at her politely. “Missus

Hart.”

She nodded back.

Harry seemed to have come to report something and hesitated.

Vicky got up to leave, but Tyler said, “How did it go?”

Harry glanced at Vicky before saying, “We’ve pretty much comprehended the situation. The man who

took Missus Hart away was Anthony, the son of the wealthiest man globally… He started working in

Yavner Group at the age of fifteen and is in charge of his family as well as the company at the moment.

He might not be invincible here in Stoneford City, but he’s more than capable of removing surveillance

footage or hiring people to do what he wants.”
