Chapter 614
âYou are still in love with him, and you canât bring yourself to be cruel toward him. Besides, he isnât the
kind of man you can just get rid of simply because you want toâ¦â Noah studied Vicky sympathetically.
Despite Tylerâs cold demeanor, he was an obsessive man and only death could tear them apart for as
long as he loved Vicky.
âItâs a good thing she loves him, too,â Noah thought. âIf she doesnât, heâs going to be her worst
nightmare.â
âIf thereâs some kind of misunderstanding, you two should sit and talk it out. If he cares this much about
you, heâs surely willing to make compromises.â
Vicky hesitated.
Knowing that she was wavering, he said, âItâs not that I donât want to help you, but if you canât bring
yourself to be merciless, there are things you wonât be able to do⦠Vicky, just think this through. If you
have really made up your mind to get rid of him no matter the cost, come find me again.â
For a long time after that, Noah did not see Vicky again, and just as he thought that Vicky had finally
decided to give up, she appeared before him once again.
Noah remembered the day when all news platforms reported that Hart Corporation was in a financial
crisis and that it was on the brink of collapsing.
âNoah, Iâve thought things through. You were right⦠I havenât been able to be cruel toward him, and
that makes it hard for him to give up on meâ¦â Vicky stared at the television screen dazedly with
determination on her face. âI need to show him that heâs powerless when faced with true power.â
Judging from Vickyâs expression, Noah could tell that Vicky had made up her mind.
Tyler could hardly rival the influence the Canyers had at the time.
Noah thought that Vicky was determined, but he never expected her to be so merciless.
Had it not been for the occasional glimpse of agony that escaped her defense, Noah would have
actually believed she no longer loved Tyler.
The two broke up on a stormy night and Tyler stood outside Noahâs residential building throughout the
night. Vicky watched him for the entire night, hiding behind the curtains.
She did not shed a single tear and remained unwavering as though she was wearing a mask.
It rained for a day and a night, but Tyler stubbornly refused to leave.
In the end, he collapsed in the rain, and the composed facade Vicky had finally cracked.
She ran downstairs and stopped when she saw Gloria running out of a car to help Tyler up.
After that night, Vicky and Tyler had severed all ties, and he had not come to see her again.
Years later, when Tyler became the new heir of Hart Corporation and rose to a position much higher
than the Canyers, Noah could not help but recall what happened in the past.
It was not hard to imagine that those three months were the darkest time in Tylerâs life.
His girlfriend broke up with him, Hart Corporation was bought in a hostile takeover, his parents died,
and he was even sent to prison for committing acts of violence.
Things have changed, and Tyler stood at the very top of the food chain. No one would have ever
imagined he was once powerless and had his pride shattered.
Afterward, the Canyers ran into a crisis and came close to declaring bankruptcy. By the time the
Canyers recovered and Noah finally had the time to care about anything else, years had gone by and
Vicky ended up marrying Tyler.
Noah was not surprised by the outcome because he foresaw it from the very first time he saw Tyler.
The twists and turns along the way had been plotted and executed meticulously so that Vicky would
end up by his side.
