Chapter 420
Missus Mills frowned at the way Sebastian fawned over Vicky, but since she needed Vickyâs help, she
simply picked up a fruit basket and went to wash the fruit.
Once she was gone, Vicky said, âSebastian, Iâm sorry. I misunderstood you.â
Tyler was an extremely calculative man, and under his scheme, she was misled to think that Sebastian
was the one who put her in the position. It was not until she found out the truth that she realized
everything had been nothing but an enormous scam that Tyler made Sebastian his scapegoat.
Sebastian was slightly surprised by her words. âVicky, w-why did youâ¦â
âI found out.â An apologetic look emerged on her face. âIâve wrongfully accused you of something you
didnât do.â
Sebastian did not seem to hold a grudge against her and consoled her instead, âEven I get tricked
when Iâm facing a man like Tyler, so itâs normal for you to fall for it when you donât have any insight into
what happened.â
Sebastian stared at Vicky hesitantly and she said, âSebastian, just speak your mind.â
He lowered his voice. âVicky, have you ever looked into how you got into a car accident?â
âI wasnât paying attention, and someone drove past the red light under the influence of alcohol.â Vicky
was confused as to why he had brought this up. âIs something wrong?â
âHave you considered why youâve lost your memories, then?â
âI had a severe concussion and lost my memories,â she said, before realization dawned on her. âWhat
are you implying Sebastian?â
âYouâve been married to Tyler for four years, and you know better than anyone about what kind of a
person he is. Considering what I know about you. your feelings for him had probably run dry, yet you
somehow lost your memories at that precise time⦠You started believing in him again,â Sebastian
drawled and smiled bitterly. âI thought that Alex was exaggerating before, but judging from what is
happening right now, Iâve misjudged him.â
Vicky narrowed her eyes at the mention of the unfamiliar name. âWho is Alex?â
Sebastian smiled at her. âAlex was one of your best friends and you grew up together.
âSomething happened to the Torres family when he was in high school, though, and they sent him
overseas.â
âAlex?â Vicky repeated thoughtfully. âTorres? His family name is Torres?â
Sebastian nodded. âYeah. His name is Alex Torres.â
Vickyâs heart sank at the memories of her nightmare the night before.
âIs he not in Stoneford City now? How comeâ¦youâve never mentioned him before?â
âAlex came back after I left Stoneford City⦠Itâs been so many years since I last saw him. He tried
contacting me before coming back and we got into a fight, so he went home alone.â
âWhat happened after that?â
âAlex is a straightforward and occasionally reckless man. Itâs easy for someone like him to cross
people.â Sebastian sighed. âI donât know who he crossed, but by the time he left Stoneford City, his legs
were broken.â
âHis legs wereâ¦broken?â Vicky studied Sebastian sharply. âWhat about me? I thought we were
friends.â
âYou were already married to Tyler at the time.â Sebastian thought about it and continued, âAlex had
been in love with youâ¦and my fight with him was about you as well. He came back to take you away
with him. I told him that you were married and that he shouldnât interfere with your love life.
Howeverâ¦â
Sebastian smiled bitterly. âHe thought that it was just my trick of getting him to give up on you, and we
got into a huge argument because of that. I was young and proud at the time, and I stopped contacting
him altogether since then. I didnât know about what happened to him until later on when I heard from a
friend.â
âWellâ¦are you still in touch with him now?â Vicky asked.
