Chapter 339
Vickyâs expression darkened as she greeted him emotionlessly, âMister Mills.â
Sebastian paled at her cold, distant tone and walked over to grab her by the shoulder. âVicky, why
havenât you answered any of my calls? What on earth happened?â
She shoved his hands aside. âPlease keep your distance, Mister Mills.â
âDo you have some kind of misunderstanding about me, Vicky? I know that itâs my carelessness that
led to you being kidnapped, but-â
âMister Mills,â she interrupted him. âIâm grateful for all that youâve done for me⦠My friends will be back
soon. If you donât have anything important to say, please get back to your life.â
Sebastian refused to leave and stood before her to stare into her eyes.â Vicky, did Tyler Hart say
something to you?â
She lifted her gaze slowly and met his eyes. âAre the Harts and the Mills not competitors? Did you not
use me to distract Tyler from the deal he was about to make in Auran?â
Sebastian clenched his fists. âI admit that I had selfish intentions when I agreed to help you, but I
wasnât using you on purpose.â
âNot on purpose? Did you use me by accident, then?â
âVicky, if you hadnât called me at that time, saying that you want to leave Tyler, I wouldâve never
involved you in my planâ¦â Sebastian tried to explain.
Before Vicky reached out to him, Sebastian never thought of using Vicky, but since she happened to
want a way out at the same time, the outcome would have been the same even if he chose not to take
advantage of her escape plan. However, he could not deny that that thought had crossed his mind.
Vicky had guessed it before and was not overly surprised or emotional at Sebastianâs words. She knew
that nothing was free in the world, and since she asked for Sebastianâs help, there was a price to pay.
âPlease go, Mister Mills,â she said.
âVicky, Iâve been sending my men to look for you, and Iâve been calling you every single day, but you
never once picked upâ¦â
Vicky completely lost her trust in Sebastian and did not take his words seriously.
Seeing how she was ignoring him, he moved to stand before her. âVicky, listen to me. I looked into how
you got kidnapped in Lovian⦠Henry had an accident on the way, and considering how many people
âhappenedâ to be there to witness it, it might not be an accident at all.â He stared at Vicky intently.
âVicky, there arenât that many people who can operate in secret under the Lovian governmentsâ eyes.â
âSo? What are you trying to say?â She remained expressionless.
âIf Tyler learned about your plan ahead of time, he might be able to accomplish that.â
Vicky sneered. âSo, you are telling me that Tyler did this?â
âHe has the motive and the power.â
âAnd whatâs his motive?â
Sebastian looked into her eyes. âVicky, do you still want to divorce him?â
Vicky was amused. âAre you trying to tell me that this is all just a big trap Tyler set up so that I wonât
divorce him?â âIt worked, didnât it? You trust him unconditionally now andâ¦â He paused.â You no longer
wish to divorce him.â
