Chapter 411
The air froze around them, and they could hear each other breathing.
Sometime later, the masked man repeated in confusion, âTyler Hart?â
Vicky sneered. âStop pretending. I know itâs you.â
âI donât know what youâre talking about.â
Vicky stared at the figure before her. âSwitch on the lights and weâll know, wonât we?â
The man fell into silence, and Vicky did not press on.
Silence filled the room and he took off the voice changer to reveal his cold, melodious voice. âHow did
you find out?â
Tyler had admitted to it straight away since Vicky discovered the truth. He knew that Vicky was not one
who could be easily fooled, and since she precisely mentioned his name, it meant that she had found
solid proof of her claim.
Instead of answering the question, she said, âAre we still going to continue the conversation like this?â
A few seconds later, the lamp on the nightstand was switched on.
The majestic face before her seemed both strange and familiar at the same time under the light.
Though she confirmed that it was Tyler and he had admitted to being the masked man, she still could
not help but jolt when she saw his face.
âWhy?â she mumbled.
He studied her under the light with his dark eyes, and she stared back in confusion. âWhy would you do
this?â
âHow did you know it was me?â he asked.
âI got my hands on a flask of perfume, and anyone who comes into contact with it will have the scent
attached to their person for a long period.â Vickyâs lips curled into a cold sneer. âIâve only used it on
Tyler Hart so far, and you come smelling like him, so who else can you be?â
The look in his eyes darkened. âIf being in contact alone will catch the scentâ¦isnât there a possibility
that Iâve come into contact with the masked man?â
âThereâs that possibility, butâ¦â She stared into his eyes. âIf the contact was brief, the scent wouldnât be
this thick. Youâve been at home in the past week, and the intensity of the scent is incomparable to one
whoâs only been exposed to the scent for a few minutes. Of course, the perfume alone isnât enough.
Since youâre the same person as him, there are bound to be things that you cant change. Iâve always
thought that you and the masked man are a lot alike, but youâd leave whenever I try to get a closer
lookâ¦â
Vicky was referring directly to Tyler as she continued to maintain eye contact. âYouâve been all hot and
cold lately because you didnât want me to recognize you, havenât you?â
âThatâs right.â
Despite how poorly maintained their marriage had been, they were still a married couple and Tyler
noticed that she was having doubts about him from the suspicious look on Vickyâs face, so he reduced
the intimacy between them and stopped kissing or holding her, before going as far as sleeping in a
different room.
Vicky clenched her fists at the thought of all the torment she had gone through in the past weeks and
roared, âWhy?! Why would you do this?!â
Tyler did not panic at all about being busted and remained as cold and composed as ever, almost as
though Vicky was the one at fault instead.
He looked at her calmly and said, âYou said so yourself, didnât you? Because itâs fun and exciting.â âSo
you are getting off with my misery?!â He chuckled coldly.
