Chapter 253
Edward could not comprehend the meaning of his words and paused in confusion, while Vicky remained frozen in place.
With his composed mask still intact, his voice grew increasingly dangerous. “Vicky Shaw, why are you still standing there? Have you not heard what I said?”
Vicky clenched her fists and stood for another few seconds before walking over to Tyler. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Edward gaped at the two and muttered, ‘Vicky, do you know him?”
As soon as Vicky was next to Tyler, he pulled her into his arms.
Vicky jolted and instinctively tried to push him away, but Tyler kept his arm around her waist, holding her in place though it did not look like he was putting much strength into the motion.
Tyler looked back at Edward casually and said, “Do you not know?”
“N—No.’
“Do you know now?”
Edward remained dazed and Tyler simply ignored him before walking into the hotel lobby with Vicky.
The two soon disappeared from Edward’s sight as they entered the elevator.
Edward walked toward the elevator and noticed that the elevator stopped at the top floor and had not stopped for any floor in the middle. This meant that Vicky had followed Tyler to the presidential suite on the highest floor.
Meanwhile, tension rose inside the elevator.
Tyler had let go of her as soon as they were inside the elevator and stood expressionlessly after pressing on the number of the highest floor.
He did not speak or look at her, remaining composed and unwavering, but Vicky’s heart sank in anticipation of what was going to happen.
Ding! The elevator stopped on the highest floor and Tyler stepped outside.
After a brief pause, Vicky followed him outside and tensed as the door to the presidential suite closed behind her.
To her bewilderment, Tyler had not questioned her after they entered the room and simply proceeded to take off his jacket lazily.
He poured himself a glass of wine and drawled, “First Charlie, now another man. It’s no wonder that you keep insisting on a divorce… Vicky Shaw, you sure are good at this. I’ve underestimated you.”
“I am not close with him.” Vicky took in Tyler’s tall, muscular frame. “We’re hardly friends.’
“Hardly friends, you say?” he questioned. “He was grabbing your hand and calling you his girlfriend.”
“I know him but only from the times I saw him in the crew. I’m really not that close with him.’
Tyler chuckled darkly. “You aren’t close, but the two of you took a leisurely stroll all the way back to the hotel anyway?”
She paused and blurted out, “How do you know?”
A second later, she remembered that Tyler arrived at the hotel after them.
‘Could it be that…he didn’t find Sheila and followed us all the way back to the hotel?’ she thought.
Tyler remained expressionless, but the look in his eyes grew colder by the second. “Vicky, have you forgotten about my warning? I told you to stay away from other men.”
“He and I aren’t-“
Tyler did not want to listen to her explanation and interrupted her, “Have you forgotten about how you were ‘begging’ me to spare the last man?”
Vicky paled, and all sounds seemed to have faded.
What happened that night was one of the memories that Vicky never wished to recall.
