Chapter 191
Vicky’s work was flexible and she could design dresses while caring for Tyler, so she had not been to the studio in recent times.
After another week, Vicky received Cece’s call out of the blue one day.
“Vicky, are you free to talk now?”
Cece knew that Tyler was injured and that Vicky had been taking care of him, so she had not called Vicky and only checked on her every day via messages to not disturb her.
Noticing Cece’s odd tone, Vicky asked, “Did something happen, Cece?”
Cece sounded slightly hysterical. “Vicky, can you… Can you please help Jennifer? I… I cant hide her any longer.”
“Jennifer?”
“The friend I went to pick up from the airport before. She’s my childhood friend and was the one who lent me money to run away from my family. Something happened to her and she came to seek refuge with me…but the people who have been searching for her haven’t given up and came all the way here.”
Cece lowered her voice and explained, “I kept Jennifer in my place, but I realized that someone has been following me lately, and I’m suspecting that those people have found where Jennifer is…”
“Who is looking for your friend?” Vicky asked.
“It’s Jennifer’s scum of a fiance! He knew her since they were kids, but he fell in love with another woman… His family didn’t approve of that woman and asked this guy to marry Jennifer to get him to give up, but…”
Cece paused for a moment, before continuing in frustration. “That scum is head over toes over that witch and wouldn’t give up on her. He even proposed to marry Jennifer just to use her as a decoy and requested to divorce her once everything was settled.
“Jennifer has been in love with him for the longest time and accepted his unreasonable request, but… that witch is a goody-two-shoes! I heard that she got sick and needed a new kidney but haven’t been able to find a matching one. After a long search, it turns out that Jennifer shared the same blood type as that witch! Jennifer might be willing to suffer for the man she loves but not for some homewrecker, so she ran out. This scum just keeps chasing after her to have her kidney! i
“If Jennifer is taken home, she’s done for. That guy is really wealthy, and I… I don’t have the means to keep Jennifer hidden…’ Cece’s voice grew weaker by the moment.
She did not want to trouble Vicky and went to pick up Jennifer when she first arrived in Stoneford City. She had been hiding Jennifer in her apartment for the last two weeks.
However, the person she was hiding Jennifer from was far too powerful, and to make things worse, Jennifer fell sick and started running a fever.
Cece did not even dare to send her to a hospital out of fear that they would be found, and she only decided to call Vicky because she was running out of options.
Vicky listened to her patiently and asked, “Where are you now?” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“In the apartment I’m renting.”
“Okay. Don’t panic. I’ll come over right now,” Vicky said.
She ended the call and turned to look at Tyler, who was working. “Cece is in trouble, and I need to check on her.”
During the time Tyler rested and recovered, his work piled up and since he was mostly recovered, he told his subordinates to send over some of the documents that needed approval urgently since he would only be staring eye-to-eye with Vicky with nothing else to do otherwise.
Vicky had limited his working hours each day to two hours.
Tyler set the documents in his hand down and gazed up at Vicky. “Do you need help?”
She hesitated for a few moments. “I want an apartment that’s hard to find and with good security to hide Cece’s friend with.”
Jennifer’s fiance seemed to be extremely powerful, and Vicky realized that she might not be capable of hiding her. However, Tyler was practically the king of Stoneford City, and even the most influential individuals in the world would have to submit to his power within the boundaries of this city.
