Chapter 31

Vicky hung up after a while and looked up to find Tyler staring at her.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” she asked.

“What are you trying to do, Vicky Shaw?” he asked coldly.

Tyler was a perceptive man and noticed the change in Vicky’s attitude. After all,

she was extremely cold toward him in the morning.

Vicky took a sip of water and said, “Cece came to visit this afternoon.”

He waited patiently for her to continue.

Enter title…

“After she left, I thought about a lot of things.” She looked at him. “I think that

there’s no point for us to hold a grudge against one another whether or not we

stay married, right?”

“So?”

“You said that I can request something else, right?”

Tyler narrowed his eyes. “Looks like you already have something in mind.”

“Yeah.” She did not look away. “I know that I might’ve done a lot of stupid things in

the past, and I can’t excuse myself or make up for them even if I’ve lost my

memories… However, there’s no changing the past. I know that you hate me, and

no matter what, we’ve been married for three years. Despite your resentment

toward me, you don’t want me dead-”

“I don’t want you dead?” sneered Tyler, cutting her off as he lifted an eyebrow

mockingly. “Who was it that said I was disappointed that you weren’t dead? Who

was it that said I want you to disappear from the world?”

Her gaze averted. “I was feeble and was of unsound mind. I misunderstood you

and said those things out of spite.”

“Spite?” He narrowed his eyes and teased, “So how exactly have you obtained

clarity all of a sudden?”

After a few moments, Vicky said, “It’s not all of a sudden… I thought it through,

and if you truly wanted me dead, I wouldn’t be alive right now. You’re in a position

of high power, and you have just about a million ways to kill me. You wouldn’t

have to kill me like this. On top of that…you helped to get Cece out, and I am

grateful for that.”

Tyler’s soul–piercing eyes focused on her as he asked, “What is your request?”

She stared into his eyes and said, “I know that you want to divorce me, but we’ve

been married for three years now, and I don’t think you’ll mind just bearing with

me for another few months. I want you to give me three months‘ time. Within that

time, we need to interact like normal married couples, and if you still have a

divorce three months from now, then…I’ll stop hanging onto this marriage. If

you’re worried that I might not honor the deal, we can draw up an agreement.”

Tyler narrowed his eyes expressionlessly, and Vicky’s heart sank.

Tyler was a brilliant businessman, and after losing her memories, Vicky found a

lot of news articles online about him. She found that he was known for his brilliant

mind and ruthlessness for being in charge of Hart

Corporation at a young age.

Five years ago, the Hart family had been a powerful force in Stoneford City, but

for whatever reason, the family took a huge damage which led to their downfall.

Just as everyone thought that the Hart family would fade into nothingness, Tyler

returned from overseas and took over. Within just a year, he managed to stabilize

the situation, and Hart Corporation returned to the top of the pyramid within

another year.

His handsome looks, powerful status, and great accomplishments despite his

young age distinguished him from other elite members of his age, and he became

the most eligible bachelor of Stoneford City.

While Tyler obtained great success, the power balance in Stoneford City shifted

as other families, including the Shaws, fell.

Vicky managed to hang onto Tyler at the time to stop herself from having to beg

to make ends meet, but she, in turn, destroyed Tyler’s relationship with the

woman he loved at the same time.
