Tyler did not get angry but nodded and said, “Yes, and you’re a psychopath magnet.”
Vicky nearly choked. She could not come up with a clap back. Tm no match for his shamelessness.’
Vicky temporarily stayed at the Harts’ mansion. Old Mister Hart was thoughtful enough not to put her in the same room as Tyler. However, he was not thoughtful enough to put their rooms next to each other.
She understood where Old Mister Hart was coming from, so she did not object to it. The worst thing she could do now was to have an acrimonious falling out with Tyler.
Fortunately, even though they were living under the same roof, Tyler had to go to work during the day and was usually very busy at work, so there were not many opportunities for them to meet each other.
Vicky could finally breathe a sigh of relief and let all the tension in her body melt away.
One day, someone knocked on Vicky’s door.
“Ms. Shaw, a lady asked to see you,” said the maid respectfully outside the door.
“Okay, I’ll be down soon,” said Vicky with a frown.
She left the room after changing her clothes.
Aurora was sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for Vicky to see her. She lifted her head when she heard the sound of footsteps.
“Vicky, you’re here.” Aurora stood up and went to grab her arm, but Vicky dodged it.
“Can I help you, Miss Starling?”
Aurora was a little hurt by Vicky’s coldness toward her.
“Vicky, do you blame me for what happened?”
“No. You had nothing to do with it.”
Aurora drooped gloomily. “Vicky, I know whatever I say now will just sound like an excuse to you. It’s true that I have no right to come to see you, but after thinking it through, I decided to come here and explain everything to you. I also want to formally apologize to you.”
She then took a deep breath and bowed to Vicky. “I’m really sorry, Vicky.”
Vicky simply stared at her for a while before saying, “Miss Starling, I must say you’re a very good actress. I can’t even tell what’s real or what’s fake anymore.”
Aurora’s face became guilt-ridden. “I wanted to tell you the truth but…”
“Tyler wouldn’t let you, right?”
After a few seconds of silence, Aurora nodded.
“You were there when Tyler and I went on our blind date, so you could probably tell that it was nothing more than that. To be honest, it was kinda like love at first sight for me… He’s the most perfect potential partner out of all the blind dates I’ve been on.
“Some time ago, the Starling Group ran into some problems that were difficult to solve. So, in order to save the company, my parents decided to marry me off. During that period, the highest record of men I met in a day was five. They were either too old, too ugly, too young, or addicted to drugs and gambling. Some of them even have other women on the side or already have illegitimate kids.”
