Chapter 971

Tyler’s tone was oppressive and overbearing, giving her no chance to refuse.

Vicky thought it was ridiculous. She looked at the man and asked coldly, “Why should I?”

‘Why should I listen to him when we have nothing to do with each other anymore?’ Vicky thought to

herself.

Tyler looked down at her and answered, ‘ Because I said so. You have no other choice.”

Vicky would have listened to Tyler if he had told her that it was because he hated Lincoln and did not

want her to get dragged into their family’s conflict. After all, her relationship with Tyler was really

complicated. Not to mention both Valencia and Orion really hated her too. So, to be on the safe side, it

would be best if she did not get involved in their family affairs.

However, she did not like his tone. It was as if she was still nothing but his plaything even though they

were divorced. The thought of it made her sick to the stomach.

“And what if I refuse?”

Tyler’s eyes became even colder but histone remained indifferent as he said, “Vicky Shaw, I know all of

your weaknesses. Are you sure you want to go against me?”

Vicky clenched her fists out of anger. “Is that the only thing

you know how to do, Tyler? Threatening people?”

“It’s very effective, isn’t it?”

“You bastard!”

Tyler looked at Vicky’s red eyes. “You better listen to me.”

Vicky closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

“Is that all you want to say? Can I go now?”

She was a grown-up after all. So, no matter how annoyed she was with Tyler, she told herself it was not

worth it to get all riled up since she had decided to cut ties with him.

Therefore, she would not deliberately go against his wishes just to make him angry because she knew

doing so would not do her any good as well.

At that moment, although she did not say it directly, Tyler knew she had already acquiesced to him.

Vicky turned to leave, but Tyler spoke up from behind her again, “By the way, we haven’t announced

our divorce to the public yet, so I better not see you hanging out with any other guy just yet. Do you

understand?”

Vicky paused in her tracks and slowly turned around. “When do you plan to make the announcement?”

“I haven’t thought about it yet.”

The anger Vicky had tried to suppress came roaring back again.

“Are you telling me that I can’t have a boyfriend until you announce our divorce?”

“Yes. That’s exactly what I’m saying.”

“Tyler Hart, are you out of your mind?” shouted Vicky angrily.

Tyler was not fazed by her display of anger. “You won’t be able to handle the consequences if Hart

Corporation suffers any losses because of your irresponsible behavior.”

Vicky was shocked by just how shameless Tyler could be.

“But we’re already divorced, so whether Hart Corporation suffers any losses has nothing to do with me

anymore!

Moreover, our divorce agreement doesn’t state that I need to keep up appearances before the divorce

is announced.”

“Are you sure about that?” asked Tyler indifferently.

Vicky was worried that Tyler would use her friends and family to threaten her, so she said, “You have to

at least give me a cut-off date if you want me to cooperate with you.

How long at the latest?”

She had no plans to look for a boyfriend in the short term. If cooperating with Tyler meant that she

would get some peace and quiet, then why not?

After thinking it over, Tyler gave her an ambiguous answer, “I can’t say for sure.”

Vicky’s patience had finally reached its limit. “Tyler Hart, are you taking me for a fool?”

‘Surely, he would tell me the deadline if he really needed my cooperation. Not doing so just means he’s

deliberately trying to make life difficult for me!’ thought Vicky.

Tyler looked straight into her angry eyes and smiled. “You know very well that I have a thing about

cleanliness. Even if we’re divorced, I wouldn’t want to see what was once mine being used by someone

else.”
