Chapter 243
âFive?â âYeah.â Sheila kept her eyes trained on Vicky. âTyler has been busy and just returned to
Arrowtown yesterday. Heâs out most of the time and rarely sleeps. Thatâs why I advised you to let him
rest.â
Sheila was clearly acting as though she was Tylerâs wife, which amused Vicky, but she did not intend
on commenting on Sheilaâs attitude.
âAlright,â she said before turning to leave.
In the following days, Vicky had not been able to see Tyler.
He seemed to be extremely busy and rarely returned to his hotel room, and despite standing outside
his door for three days in a row, she had not seen Tyler anywhere.
She tried calling Tyler.
He would answer occasionally, and hang up at other times. Even when she managed to get a hold of
him, he would soon be called away for meetings and had to hang up again.
The clouds gathered and Vicky stood in front of the window, staring at the traffic outside on the road
with a heavy heart.
She made another phone call, and after half a minute, Jules answered with a weak voice.
âVicky, how are things going?â
Vicky lowered her voice. âI havenât caught Tyler.â
After a few moments of silence, Jules said, âThe production crew has decided to replace Charlie.â
Vickyâs fingers twitched. âSoâ¦soon?â
Jules sighed. âItâs been two weeks since what happened, and the production crew had waited long
enough. Charlieâs scandal remains to be the topic of discussion, and the crew cannot proceed with
production if they donât replace him.â
If the crew began filming with Charlie as one of their actors, it would be like they were publicly
announcing their approval of his immoral behavior. Hence, if they wanted the production to proceed
smoothly, they would have to steer clear of Charlie unless he could prove his innocence.
Meanwhile, the public opinion had been so one-sided that though Charlie was still pending for court,
everyone was sure he was guilty.
The production crew had only remained quiet for the past two weeks because they wanted to give
Charlie the time to resolve the problem, but they could not wait forever as each day they delayed the
progress cost them a small fortune.
Vicky understood why they had chosen to give up and took a deep breath.â Jules, can the agency do
anything about this?â
Jules chuckled bitterly. âEven if he is the best actor in show business, no one will dare to side with him
when itâs Mister Hart who has it out for him.â
Jules had explained the situation to the agency shortly after Charlieâs incident and swore that Charlie
was innocent. However, in a few daysâ time, the higher management of the agency informed her that
Charlie had crossed someone who was so powerful that no one could help.
Jules pleaded relentlessly for an explanation, and the agency eventually told her that Charlie had
crossed Tyler.
In Zendonia, crossing Tyler Hart was just as bad as a death sentence.
Vicky came to a realization.
Charlie had not crossed paths with Tyler at all in the past, and the only reason that he might have
enraged Tyler could only be her.
âCharlie might not be the brightest star among the idols and actors Iâve been responsible for so far, but
heâs the most righteous and hard-working one,â Jules continued pitifully. âHis career is over now, but I
hope thatâ¦his life wonât be ruined as well. I donât want him to spend the best part of his life in prison.â
Later at night, Vicky leaned on against the wall and fell asleep.
Beep!
The sound of a key card activating the door echoed in the air and she opened her eyes, spotting a tall,
slender figure before her.
Realizing that Tyler was back, her body acted before she could think, and she stood up from the
ground. However, she had been sitting on the ground for far too long and her legs were numb, so she
fell straight into his arms.
