Chapter 281
Vicky trembled upon hearing the guardâs response. âWhat did you say?â
Both of the bodyguards did not dare to look into her eyes. âPlease go back to the room, Miss Shaw.â
She stood there, stiffly, unmoving for a long time before her legs could carry her back into the room.
By then, it was already evening. She had not eaten anything, and her stomach growled in pain. As she
stood in front of the window, she looked at the scenery outside with no emotion. Her eyes were hollow
and empty.
Ring, ring, ring!
The sudden ringtone broke the stiff silence in the room, and it pulled Vicky back to reality where she
looked for her phone. When she saw it wasâ Mister Kirbyâ calling her, she felt a heavy sense of irony.
She did not have the time to change his caller ID yet.
To be precise, she had not deleted his number from her contact list.
After a deep thought, she decided to answer the call but said nothing in greeting. She continued to look
out the window and kept quiet.
âVicky,â came the deep, hoarse male voice from the other side. âIâm sorry.â
âNo need forthat,â Vicky said. âYou helped me a lot, and I should be grateful to you.â
âI didnât mean to lie to you. At first, I thought you were playing a joke with me and was unwilling to
recognize me. After a few attempts of testing, I realizedâ¦you truly had lost your memory.â
It did not affect Vickyâs emotions. She literally did not feel anger after knowing she got cheated on.
âWhy didnât you tell me after you know I have lost my memory?â
Harvey smiled bitterly. âI was afraid you wonât talk to me anymore after I told you.â
âThe past⦠What happened?â
It was Harveyâs turn to stay silent. After a while, he said, âI had done so many wrong things to you in
the past, but Iâve already paid the price. Iâm actually back in Stoneford City because I want to take you
away.â
âTake me away?â Vicky recalled the things Tyler said yesterday. â Are you taking me away, or did you
purposely get close to me because you think you can use me again in exchange for the things you
want?â
âDid Tyler tell you all that?â
Vicky did not answer the question and added, âDid you really give me to another man because of
another woman?â
The air became stagnant after that question.
Harvey tried to squeeze his voice out of his throat. âVicky, it was Tyler who told you this, wasnât it?â
If someone was to ask Harvey who was the person he hated the most in this world, he would not
hesitate to say it was Tyler.
The connection between a human with another human was weird. Some people needed only one look
to decide they hated that person. It was exactly what happened between him and Tyler.
As Vicky wanted to speak, she heard Harvey gritting his teeth before saying, âIâll admit my wrongdoing,
butâ¦he was the culprit behind everything! He was the one creating nasty, despicable stuff behind the
scenes all the time.â
Vickyâs eyelids twitched. âDo you meanâ¦Tyler is the one behind everything that happened?â
âYes. He colluded with my enemy to ruin our relationship and wedge a gap between us.â
When Vicky was Harveyâs fiancee, her family had a strong standing in the community. It was also the
best moment of Harveyâs life.
On the other hand, Tylerâ¦had lost his parents during that period, and Hart Corporation was nearly
acquired by Harvey. That period was the most terrible time for Tyler.
