Chapter 438: Chapter 440

Chapter 440

Vicky lowered her eyes to hide the emotions within them. “I… I was kidnapped by Harvey Sparks.”

“I see…” Easton hated Harvey but dared not to cross Tyler.

Since Tyler was Harvey’s enemy, Easton saw Tyler as his ally.

He turned on the television and said, “I’ve informed your husband about you. He should be here by

tomorrow.” He waved his men over. “Untie Missus Hart.”

A few men immediately stepped forward to untie Vicky.

Vicky had thought that she would suffer greatly at the hands of Harvey’s enemies and had not expected

to be saved by Tyler. However, she knew that what awaited her would only be worse if she returned to

Tyler.

“Mister Easton, Tyler is busy with work most of the time, and I don’t think he has the time to pick me up.

I can just go back on my own. Let’s save everyone the trouble,” she said.

“No way.’ He glanced at her. “You were kidnapped by Harvey in my territory, and I might be in trouble if

Tyler Hart decides to hold me accountable for that. If he’s busy, he can always send an assistant over.”

Easton seemed determined to hand her over to Tyler in person.

She felt anxious, but she kept her emotions from showing on her face.

Just as she contemplated ways to escape, the news came on the television.

“The world-famous pianist, Miss Gloria Shaw, has returned to Stoneford City today…”

Vicky’s heart sank at the mention of Gloria’s name.

Tyler had returned to Stoneford City earlier that day, which was precisely why they had chosen to leave

Jencity on the exact same day.

‘Tyler has been in Jencity for so long, so why did he leave all of a sudden?’ she thought. ‘Can it be that

he left not because something happened to Hart Corporation but to see Gloria instead?’

“Gloria Shaw…” Realization dawned on Easton. “It’s no wonder that Harvey was in such a hurry to

head back to Stoneford City. So he went to see her.”

Vicky jolted and turned to look at Easton. “Harvey went back to Stoneford City?”

“Don’t you know?” Easton shot her a look of surprise. “I sent my men to look into Harvey’s whereabouts

when others captured you. I received a report from the airport that Harvey boarded a flight headed

toward Stoneford City an hour ago.” He chuckled. “Had he not left all of a sudden, it wouldn’t be so

easy to steal you away. He left you to rot for Gloria Shaw’s sake back then. Who would’ve known that

his priority remains after all these years? Though…” His lips curled into a mysterious smile. “You

should be thanking me, Missus Hart. Without me, you would’ve never gotten to marry Tyler Hart.”

She froze. “What do you mean?”

“Have you forgotten? Both you and Gloria were kidnapped at the same time, and Harvey was given the

choice to rescue only one person, to which he responded by running to Gloria’s rescue. I wanted to

make him suffer, but after hearing about the feud between him and Tyler Hart, I decided to send you to

Tyler instead. In the end…” He chuckled devilishly. “I helped you become Missus Hart. A woman from a

fallen family like you would’ve never had the chance to get anywhere close to Tyler Hart had it not been

for that night, won’t you say?”

Vicky was shaken to the core.

Just then, a man rushed in. “Easton, we reached Mister Hart.” The man glanced at Vicky sheepishly.

“T-They said that…Miss Shaw eloped with Harvey, so she’s no longer Missus Hart. They said that you

can do as you please with her… The more gruesome, the better…”
