Chapter 288
All of her belongings were moved from the room she stayed in previously a few days ago.
After having their lunch, they left the hotel.
It had been a while since Vicky stood under the sun and breathed fresh air. She missed it so much that
she did not want to get into the car.
Tyler glanced at her and said coldly, âWhatâs wrong? Youâre not sick of the hotel yet and want to stay
longer?â
She experienced cyberbullying, having maniacal fans throwing things at her, and being slandered by
reporters. At that time, her life was nothing but misery.
Her thoughts changed when Tyler restricted her freedom for one week. By then, she finally understood
what it meant by â days wear on like yearsâ.
She was afraid Tyler would lock her in the room again and thus quickly opened the door to get into the
car.
The car raced all the way to the airport.
A man like Tyler would never take a commercial flight.
When they reached the airport, she followed him and boarded a private jet to fly back to Stoneford City.
When they returned to Stoneford City, Tyler no longer restricted her freedom. She went to visit Cece
and, afterward, her studio.
The second day after the news got forcefully taken down, Sheila issued a clarification announcement to
the public stating she accidentally fell into the water and the rumors on the internet were fake. She did
not drown because of the costume.
After that, the production team also did the same. Not long after, the incident slowly toned down, and all
talks of it ceased within a week.
Vicky no longer brought up the topic of divorce, but she had not given up on that thought. She would
ask for a divorce when fully prepared.
Her studio was in the process of revamping, and it would take at least a month before she could start
working. Thus, she worked from home for the time being.
While she was altering her sketches in the study, a notification popped out at the lower right corner of
her screen to notify her that she had received a new email.
Without thinking much, she opened the emaiL.and the content shocked her.
It was an acquisition agreement of Shaw Corporation three years ago. The email was from an
anonymous sender.
Out of the blue, a person flashed into Vickyâs mind. After giving it a thought, she called the number.
âVicky,â Sebastianâs gentle, mature voice sounded from the other end of the phone, âhow have you
been?â
When Vicky went viral because of Sheila and Charlie, Sebastian called her to check on her. He had
gotten used to all the hearsays people posted on the internet and did not believe them to be true.
Vicky was looking at the email on her screen and asked in a low voice, âSebastian, your family and
mine go way back. Do you know how my family collapsed?â
After a few seconds of silence, Sebastian replied, âIâm not really sureâ¦about that.â
âDo you really know nothing about it?â
Sebastian and Vicky grew up together, so he knew what kind of person Vicky was. If she was asking
that question, it meant she knew something.
âVicky,â Sebastian said in a deep voice, âthereâs no need for you to instigate anymore since youâve
forgotten some of those things.â
âForgetting it doesnât mean it never happened. Do you get it? â Vicky stressed.
âSometimes itâs not a bad thing to forget about it. Arenât you much happier than before?â Sebastian
asked.
She looked at the acquisition contract on her screen and persisted, âBut I want to know what
happened.â
âVickyâ¦â
âTyler is the reason for Shaw Corporationâs downfall, is it?
Heâs the one who acquired Shaw Corporation, right?â Vicky wanted to get to the bottom of the thing.
