Chapter 297

To investigate, Vicky could only get out of the car and wait.

When the traffic police arrived, the muscular man started to distort the facts and acted shamelessly.

“Look, everyone! He’s refusing to admit he’s at fault when he switched lanes at the last minute! He’s

faking this accident! He’s a fraud!

“I couldn’t have worse luck than this. My old folks and kids are still waiting for me at home, yet I’m here

dealing with this shameless person… He’s trying to force me to jump off the building!

“Everyone here can see clearly. I know none of you will believe this ill-hearted person!”

The muscular man weighed 80 kilograms, yet he was sitting on the ground and howling like a little

woman. i

Henry was young and was never in this situation before. He was so angry that his face turned pale.

The muscular man shouted so loudly that it attracted many unsuspecting onlookers. Many of them

started to reprimand Henry.

Suddenly, Vicky’s phone rang. She looked at the called ID and her eyelid started to twitch. It was a call

from Tyler.

She looked at the noisy crowd, so she excused herself with Henry to look for a quiet place to take the

call.

“Tyler?”

“Why is your phone switched off?” Tyler’s voice was cool like the water from the stream.

Vicky’s heart raced rapidly as she looked at Henry, who got surrounded by the onlookers. She

pretended to be calm, despite not being one to be good at lying.

“What…?”

Tyler said, “I called you around nine something just now. Why did you switch off your phone?”

She looked at the time and realized it was three in the morning in Zendonia. It was hours ago when

Tyler tried to call her.

“I forgot to charge my phone. It ran out of battery,” she said.

An answer that sounded reasonable and valid.

It looked like Tyler accepted the answer and did not seek further clarification. He asked, “Why are you

not sleeping yet?”

She clenched her fist tightly. “I accidentally fell asleep when I was reading on the bed after dinner. That

was why I didn’t charge my phone… Maybe I slept too early and I can’t fall asleep now.”

“Argh! Why do I have such a miserable life?” The muscular man continued to make a fuss and shouted

out loud.

Tyler’s tone changed. “Are you outside?”

“No…no, I’m not,” Vicky said.

“But why did I hear someone else’s voice?” Tyler asked.

“Since I can’t sleep, I decided to watch TV,” Vicky lied.

Tyler seemed to accept the explanation and his tone became soft. “I see.”

Vicky was not sure if Tyler had discovered she had left Zendonia. In fact, it did not matter anymore to

Vicky. Nevertheless, she was still hoping Tyler would find out much later so she would have more time

to prepare to face his fury.

Vicky changed the subject. “Why aren’t…you sleeping, too? It’s very late now. Did you just finish your

work?”

Tyler was in Auran, which had a one-hour time difference from Zendonia. It should be two in the

morning for Auran, and it was late.

He answered, “I was worried about you because your phone is switched off.”

At that moment, Vicky did not know what to say.

“If you didn’t pick up this time, I was going to call Nanny Paterson.”

After a while, Vicky finally gathered her voice. “I’m fine. Don’t worry about me. Rest early.”

“Okay.” Tyler did not insist on talking more. “Call me if you need anything.”
