Chapter 967
âDo you not blame Tyler?â The man asked.
âIf I were to blame him, it would only disturb my own peace of mind.â Vicky did not ask this man how he
knew about these things. He had remarkable abilities, and some things didnât require many words.
She continued calmly, âThis is just karma. He simply returned everything I did to him from all those
years ago.â
The manâs car drove smoothly and gently forward as he asked, âDo you still love him?â
Vicky fell silent.
Love was not something that simply disappeared with a simple statement or decision to let go. Healing
needed time.
The man understood her answer from her silence. âI know you wonât betray him, and you donât want to
seek revenge, but he deceived your emotions for so many years. Are you truly willing to be abandoned
like this?â
Vicky looked out the window. âEven if Iâm unwilling to accept this, what can I do about it? Should I
pester him endlessly? Heâs the one in control of the Hart family, a powerful figure in Zendonia. There
are many ways he can force me to comply.â
She had struggled and fought hard, but in the end, she could not withstand a single threat that Tyler
made. In the end,
Tyler even went as far as to send her to prison to make her sign the divorce papers.
The man gripped the steering wheel tightly. âSo, have you decided to start anew?â
Vicky looked at her pale and blurred reflection in the car window and nodded gently. âYes.â
âI can help you if you want to seek revenge.â
âThank you, but thatâs not necessary.â
Seeing her determination, the man did not press her on and simply said, âAre you free the day after
tomorrow?â
âIs there something you need?â
âI have a banquet to attend, and I happen to be lacking a female companion. I was wondering if you
could temporarily fulfill that role.â
The man had helped her a lot and had never asked for anything in return.
Vicky had always wondered how to repay him. Now that he had finally asked for a favor, she naturally
had no reason to refuse. âAlright.â
Time passed quickly, and before she knew it, it was time to accompany the man to the banquet.
The man was waiting downstairs ahead of time. When Cece and Jennifer saw the manâs car, they gave
Vicky a knowing smile.
âVicky, have a great time tonight.â
Seeing Vicky dressed elegantly and with delicate makeup, they thought she had a date in the evening.
Vicky did not bother to explain or correct their assumption.
After bidding farewell to Cece and Jennifer, she got into the manâs car.
As she got in, a hint of admiration flickered in the manâs eyes, and he did not hold back his praise. âYou
look beautiful today, Vicky.â
Vicky smiled lightly. âThank you.â
After that brief exchange, the man started driving toward the location of the banquet.
Outside the entrance, the man reached his arm over to her and she hooked her arm around it politely.
The event hall was decorated extravagantly and was practically sparkling.
She had been to this hall multiple times with Tyler as the elite members of Stoneford City tended to
host events here.
As soon as she stepped into the hall, all the noises faded away and all eyes were focused on them.
Vicky was shocked at first but paled when she noticed all the familiar faces around her.
She instinctively let go of the manâs arm. Just as she was about to run, the man held her hand firmly.
