Chapter 421
Sebastian shook his head. âIt dawned on me that I overreacted after I got my bearings, so I tried to
contact Alex again, but I couldnât find him. I asked his family, but they said Alex had been out of it after
his legs were broken, and he never cared about other people.
âOne day, he left a letter and left his family. He asked his family and friends not to worry about him
because he only wanted some time to be alone. After thatâ¦l canât get my hands on any of his news.â
Vicky heard that and her eyes started to waver. She thought the dream she had last night happened
because of the shocking truth she discovered. From the looks of it, it was more than what she thought.
By then. Missus Mills came out with a bowl of washed fruits.
âMissus Hart.â She gave Sebastian a warning look before smiling at Vicky.â Please have some fruits.â
Ever since Vicky was here, she had been calling Vicky âMissus Hartâ. It was an act of means to remind
Vicky and also Sebastian of their situation.
Vicky looked at Missus Mills and said, âThank you.â
Suddenly, Missus Mills looked solemn. âHey, Vicky. Youâve grown up with Sebastian, so you surely
know what kind of person Sebastian is. I have no idea what our family has done to have crossed Mister
Hart. Hart Corporation had been targeting Mills Group and buying shares of the group. Itâs not just
here, but it happened to our oversea business too.
âIâm not going to hide it from you. Mills Group started to shift the business to Lovian because of the
attack from Hart Corporation. Our business power here is relatively limited. The only reason we havenât
left this city is that we are trying to shift everything overseas⦠Our family will, more or less, leave
Zendonia in a year.
âButâ¦â She looked at Vicky. âNow that Hart Corporation is after our business and taking away our
orders⦠Iâm afraid our cash flow is going to have a problem, and weâll be on the edge of bankruptcy.â
Vicky asked, âWhat would you like me to do?â
âVicky, I watched you grow up, so Iâm going to be frank with you. I hope you can put in some words for
us and ask Tyler to leave us alone. If he promises this, Iâll immediately leave Zendonia with Sebastian
and promise never to come back to Stoneford City,â Missus Mills answered.
Before Vicky said anything, the look on Sebastianâs face changed. He said,â Mother, noâ¦â
Missus Mills cut him off, âSebastian, donât tell me youâre willing to see our business be destroyed? Fine.
Letâs not talk about the business. What about you? It was a narrow escape for you. Have you ever
thought ofâ¦what if it happens again?â
Her eyes became watery. âDo you want us to grieve and mourn for you?â
Sebastian felt sorry too. He said softly, âMaybe heâs not the one who caused the accidentâ¦â
âMaybe, you say?â Missus Mills sneered sarcastically. âHave you forgotten what he had done to you
before you left Zendonia a few years ago?â
It left Sebastian speechless.
Vicky did not know there was a hidden reason why Sebastian left. She thus asked, âMissus Mills, can
you please tell me what happened in detail?â
Missus Mills did not intend to hide anymore and told the truth. âSebastian had always had a thing for
you. After your family was ruined and your engagement with Harvey was over, Sebastian wanted to
marry you⦠You hesitated with his proposal and didnât reject him like before, probably because of what
happened to your family.
âAt that time, Sebastian was very happy. As for what happened later, I donât truly know either.
Sebastian refused to tell me. I only know you ended up with Tyler, and there was a rumor saying you
were pregnant with his child.
âSebastian couldnât accept it and tried to look for you a few times. One time, Tyler saw this andâ¦â
Missus Mills paused and looked at Sebastian. Oddly, Sebastianâs face looked terrible too.
She continued, âTyler was a lunatic. He got someone to cause a car accident and knocked Sebastian
until he was severely injured!â
