Chapter 741: Chapter 743

Vicky was still trying to process Tyler’s words when a contemptuous look appeared on his face.

“Vicky, do you really consider yourself a fallen angel or something? Do you think that I can’t survive

without you?” he sneered.

She froze at the realization that Tyler had toyed with her once again.

Since she was rendered speechless, he took the opportunity to grab her by the wrist and pulled her

toward his car. “Let’s go for lunch.”

She had lost any appetite she might have had after the infuriating conversation with him, so she tried

her best to withdraw her wrist from his hold. “I’m not going. Go have lunch with Gloria. She’ll be more

than happy to oblige.”

“What else are you plotting to do?” He shot her a sharp look. “Gloria has just undergone a surgery. She

can’t put up with your taunting, so just come with me to lunch.”

“I’m not trying to do anything or taunt her!”

Tyler seemed to be certain that Vicky had plotted to lure him away while Gloria was in surgery and was

trying to harm Gloria at the moment, so he refused to let her go.

“That’s enough,” he warned coldly. “There’s a limit to my patience.”

“I’m not messing with you.” Vicky was furious that she was wrongfully accused. “I didn’t try to lure you

away. I was—”

She wanted to explain herself, but the man in front of her was far too good at turning the tables against

her, so she lost all trust in him. She wanted to trust him, but she knew that she could not.

Vicky became suspicious again. “Are you sure Cece told you that?”

“You can call your assistant to ask her about it.”

“My phone ran out of battery.”

He sneered and tossed her his phone.

She shot him a glare and made a call to Cece.

Cece clearly did not have Tyler’s phone number saved to her contact list and answered the phone with

a confused tone, “Hello? Who is this?”

“Cece, it’s me.”

“Vicky?!” Cece was surprised to hear Vicky’s voice. “Vicky, are you okay?”

“I’m fine. My phone ran out of battery.”

“Oh, so that’s what happened… Thank god…”

“Were you the one who told Tyler that I was in a car accident?” Vicky asked.

Cece paused for a moment. “Yeah. I heard a loud noise on your end, then your phone went dead. I

thought you were in a car accident or got kidnapped…”

Vicky listened to Cece and glanced at Tyler. “Cece, are you certain that you said that to Tyler?”

Cece did not get Vicky’s hint and felt confused. “Yeah, Vicky… What’s wrong?”

Vicky remained quiet for a few moments before saying, “Cece, cough if you don’t feel free to speak in

your own words.”

“…” Cece glanced at Harry, who was sitting next to her with an odd look on his face, before whispering,

“Vicky, I did say those things, and I’m not being threatened.”

Cece explained everything from her perspective.

“I see…” Vicky muttered. “I’m sorry for worrying you.”

“I’m fine. As long as you’re alright.”

After a few words, Vicky hung up and wanted to hand Tyler back his phone, only to find herself staring

into Tyler’s lustrous eyes.
