Chapter 245
âAre you trying to tell me that you didnât dine and return to the same hotel at the same time, nor did he
drink your alcohol on your behalf? You havenât bought him any piece of clothing, and you two werenât
seen holding each other?â
She narrowed her eyes. âWe ran into each other inside the elevator and went to the first floor together
for the buffet. You saw it as well. He drank my beer simply because he didnât want me to drink too
much and hinder the progress of the filming. As for the clothingâ¦â Vicky paused.
âI lost the jacket he lent me, and all I was trying to do was buy him a replacement. Charlie and I are just
friends. I donât like owing others. Thatâs the only reason why I bought him a jacket. That hug⦠He was
simply shielding me from the attack of a hysterical fan of his. We parted ways from that point onward
and have not seen each other since.â
The smoke rose and blurred Tylerâs features as he narrowed his dark eyes.
Vicky observed the man on the couch, not knowing if he was willing to believe her.
âTyler-â Vicky wanted to speak, but was interrupted.
âSo what?â
âWhat?â
He looked up to face the confused look on her face. âVicky Shaw, I gave you a chance. You were the
one who ignored my warning and got your face on the news with that actor.â
âBut thereâs a statement saying that itâs all just a misunderstandingâ¦â
âMissus Hart, you have made me the laughingstock of Stoneford City. Did you actually think that calling
it a misunderstanding can excuse you from it?â
Ordinary people might not know who she was, but members of the elite community recognized Vicky.
Though they would never dare to expose her identity to the press, they immediately realized that she
was the woman in the photo, and Vicky instantly began the talk of the town, i
Even if it was merely a misunderstanding, Tyler was too proud a man to accept it.
Unable to argue, Vicky muttered, âThis is my problem, and Charlie has nothing to do with it. His career
is already ruined and if heâs sued, his life will be overâ¦â
Tyler sneered as he glared at her coldly. âYou caused this. You ruined his career and his life,â he
drawled.
She jolted in shock and gaped at him in disbelief. âTyler Hart, you unreasonable lunatic!â
Not at all provoked, Tyler said, âIf you know that Iâm unreasonable, you should stay away from other
men. This is just a small punishment, and if the same thing happens againâ¦â
He lit the cigarette between his fingers but did not inhale it at all. He gazed down at it before putting it
out.
His gaze returned to her with a cold viciousness. âYou wonât get this lucky.â
Vickyâs blood ran cold as she struggled to find her voice. âWhy?â
He lifted an eyebrow wordlessly.
She stared into his eyes. âIf you donât like me, why does it matter if Iâm with someone else?â âConsider
me a clean freak. I donât like others touching what belongs to me, â he said casually. âEven the trash I
toss aside belongs to me and no one can touch it without my permission.â
