Chapter 998
Vicky fell into silence and nodded gently.
Noahâs jaw dropped and he scanned Vicky along with the man standing next to her.
Elijah had a tall figure and was rather good-looking; it made him look like a great match with Vicky, but
Noah could not understand how Tyler managed to put up with this.
âHow long have you two been together?â Noah asked.
Elijah considered and said, âHor about a month.â
âA month?!â Noah thought and widened his eyes.
âDid you encounter any accidents this past month?â Noah asked.
âWhat?â Elijah shot Noah a confused look. âWhat kind of accidents?â
âThe kind that threatens your safety.â
âI donât think so.â
Elijah felt that Noah was a bit strange, and he looked at Vicky, silently questioning Vicky with his eyes.
Vicky said to Elijah, âWait for me here. I need to talk to Noah for a moment.â
Elijah nodded, but his gaze toward Noah became even more confused.
Vicky led Elijah to an empty corner before explaining, âNoah, Tyler, and I are divorced now.â
âDivorced?â Noah thought he misheard. âHow is it possible? Why would Tyler want to divorce you? Did
you get deceived again?â
âNo,â Vicky replied calmly. âThis time, he initiated the divorce. It definitely wasnât a mistake.â
Noah became increasingly puzzled. âBut⦠Werenât you both doing well recently? Why did he suddenly
want a divorce?â
The look in Vickyâs eyes dimmed. âHe⦠It was all for revenge. r»
Though it was a simple sentence, Noah, who knew Vickyâs past, immediately understood.
âRevenge huhâ¦â He thought.
It sounded fantastical, unbelievable, and even a bit childish, but considering Tylerâs character, Noah
had no doubt that Tyler was capable of such actions.
More precisely, given Tylerâs extreme nature, he was more than capable of pulling anything.
Noah opened his mouth, wanting to console Vicky, but he did not know where to begin. After a
moment, he said, âYour fiance, Elijah, seems quite nice⦠There are plenty of fish in the sea, and itâs
the right choice that you cut your losses in time.â
Vicky did not explain much further to Noah and changed the subject. âAnyways, what have you been
up to recently?â
Noah felt extremely frustrated as he recalled the things he went through in recent times. âDonât even
get me started. I donât know what happened recently, but I seemed to have attracted a group of
inexplicable womenâ¦â
At the time, he even suspected that it was Tylerâs doing.
However, he was ardently pursuing Jennifer and had little contact with Vicky, so Tyler should have no
reasons to bother him. However, Noah could not think of anyone else other than Tyler who would use
such dirty and petty tricks to deceive him.
Noah was absolutely perplexed.
However, he was certain of one thing â he had definitely offended someone to be suffering the
consequences now.
These past few days, he finally managed to deal with those imaginary love interests, and he had
intended to find Jennifer, only to discover that she had left.
After chatting for a few more moments, they realized that it was almost time for the auction and entered
the venue together.
As they reached the entrance, Noah suddenly felt a chilling and penetrating gaze fixed on him.
Before he could figure out what was happening, a voice filled with sarcasm and mockery sounded
behind him. âOh my, Ms. Shaw, have you changed boyfriends again?â
Vickyâs eyebrows twitched as she turned her head.
An elegant and beautiful woman, accompanied by a handsome and noble man, appeared within
Vickyâs line of sight.
Vickyâs jolted slightly.
She had not seen Tyler for a month.
During this month, Tyler had not come looking for her, nor had he threatened her in any way.
He seemed to have completely lost interest in her, even disregarding the buzz of news circulating
online.
Vicky was worried that Tyler would seek revenge against Elijah, but reality proved that she had been
overthinking.
It seemed that overnight, Tyler had completely lost interest in her.
Vicky looked at the shocked expression on the face of the woman, Aurora, whose eyes revealed a hint
of irony, and replied coldly, âMiss Starling.â
