Chapter 989
âI heard that you were arrested for injuring someone a while ago,â Anthony said casually.
Jenniferâs expression darkened. âSo what if I did.â
âYou should know that Tyler was the one who fabricated this whole thing right? He might even hold you
hostage against Vicky, shouldnât you have known that by now?â
Jennifer pursed her lips and Cece felt guilty as well.
âDo you know why Vicky was captured, while the two of you get to roam freely?â Anthony continued.
Jennifer scowled and stared at him intently. âWhat are you trying to imply?â
A faint smile appeared on his face. âJennifer, Vicky doesnât have that many friends, and the two of you
are the only ones close enough to make her do things against her will.â He turned to look at Cece. âYou
mentioned that Vicky wasnât as close with you before she lost her memories, right?â
Cece nodded. âYes, but what does that have to do with anything?â
âIt means that she was well aware that whoever gets too close to her will get smacked into the storm
she is in. After being married to Tyler for so many years, Vicky grew to understand his character best.
She knows that once she has a conflict with Tyler, the people she cares about will become his tools
against her. Nnow, because of your relationship with her, sheâs at his mercy. As long as Tyler uses you
to threaten her, she will have no means to resist his request because hurting you is more effective than
hurting Vicky herself. Do you understand?â
Both Jennifer and Cece turned pale. âSo, what you mean is⦠That weâre being burdens to Vicky?â
Anthony nodded. âIâve already arranged a plane to leave Zendonia. Tylerâs actions will escalate in the
near future. If you donât want to be a hindrance to Vicky, you need to leave as soon as possible.â
Cece could not help but ask, âWait. If we leave, what will happen to Vicky?â
âVicky wonât have a chance to turn the situation around until you leave. If you donât, she will forever be
at the mercy of Tyler.â Anthony glanced at Jennifer and spoke in a slower voice. âJennifer, this is
Zendonia. My people wonât be able to hold off Tyler for long. If you donât leave here today, then⦠the
past will repeat itself.â
Jennifer understood what he meant. âYou mean, all this time⦠you were secretly protecting us?â
âYes,â Anthony said. âI could only do it because Tylerâs attention wasnât on you, but if he canât find a
way to break Vicky, he will certainly target you.â Anthony looked around and lowered his voice. âNot
long ago, I saw Vicky and she asked me to help you leave as soon as possible.â
Both Jennifer and Cece were stunned, finding it hard to believe.
âYou saw her?â Cece asked.
âYes, I recorded a video of her. You can watch it in the car later.â
When it came to matters of relationships, Anthony may have been unreliable, but he would never lie
about something this severe, so Jennifer nodded. âOkay.â
On the way to the airport, Cece and Jennifer watched the video recorded by Anthony.
âJennifer, Cece, by the time you see this video, you should already be on your way to the airport, right?
Iâm really happy to have met you both. Iâm not a qualified boss, nor a worthy friend. I canât protect you,
and I keep involving you in unnecessary dangers. So, during this time, I would like to kindly request for
you to temporarily leave Zendonia. Once I resolve the troubles in Zendonia, I will come to you as soon
as I can. Donât worry about me. Iâll take care of myself, and you must take care of yourselves too.â
