Vicky knew Tyler best, after all.
He refused to meet with her when he used the mysterious- person persona as he knew Vicky would recognize him. If they spent some time together, she would eventually notice if he was merely pretending to have lost his memories.
Vicky thus nodded.
Aurora turned to Harry and said, “Mister Gardner, please look after Tyler for a while. Vicky will come back and take over once she’s eaten.”
Harry nodded after glancing at the lunchbox in Vicky’s hand. “Sure. Please go ahead, Missus Hart.”
Vicky and Aurora walked toward the lounge while chatting, and it was not until after Harry went into Tyler’s room that Aurora whispered, “Vicky, you’re worried that Tyler is putting up an act, right? I have an idea to find out if he’s lying.”
“Aurora, I appreciate your good intentions, but…” Vicky pondered for a moment. “Given Tyler’s current physical condition, he probably can’t withstand another trip to the emergency room.”
“Ahem!” Aurora choked and said, “Vicky, don’t worry. There won’t be anything surprising this time. He’ll be fine, you’ll be fine; we’ll all be fine.”
Although what Aurora did was rather despicable, Tyler did wake up quite quickly because of it, which meant that her method was indeed effective. Vicky thus considered for a moment and asked, “What idea do you have?”
Aurora looked around to ensure that there was no one nearby before she whispered, “Vicky, Tyler treated you like a fool in the past. Now that he has amnesia, you can return the favor!”
Apart from Tyler, Aurora was the most refreshingly unconventional person Vicky had ever met. “Return the favor?”
“Yes.” Aurora lowered her voice. “If Tyler hadn’t lost his memory… Frankly, divorcing him would’ve been difficult for you. Even if Tyler truly has amnesia, divorcing him would still be challenging, so why not make him pay what he owed you?”
Vicky stared at Aurora curiously. “Why do you think divorcing him would be difficult after he’s lost his memory? He doesn’t remember me and doesn’t have any feelings for me anymore, so it should be easier.”
“Vicky, before he lost his memory, he didn’t want a divorce because he had feelings for you. Now that he forgot all about you, his first consideration is self-preservation and his own interest. If you act so eager to divorce him, he might think you’re secretly plotting something. Given his cautious nature, he’s even less likely to agree to a divorce, worrying that you might take away his property or collaborate with his enemies…
“He rescued you from the kidnappers, and you both ran into a car accident after that, resulting in his memory loss. If Lincoln finds out about Tyler’s amnesia, don’t you think it’s likely for Lincoln to blame it all on you? Maybe he’ll accuse you of intentionally getting kidnapped, you know? You came out of the accident unscathed while Tyler nearly died… Tyler might think you did something to the car.”
Vicky furrowed her brow, and Aurora sighed. “Vicky, I know you might think I’m being paranoid or delusional, but in our circles, these suspicions are perfectly normal for families like ours.
“An investigation is required for the most minor issue with that car to see if it was intentionally caused. Skilled assassins can create accidents that go unnoticed. That’s why when we travel, under normal circumstances, we immediately cancel or change our plans if we encounter two accidents at once.”
Aurora was not exaggerating; it was the reality for those in positions of power as people in higher positions often had many enemies.
She gently patted Vicky’s shoulder and said, “To be honest, I don’t think Tyler’s amnesia is a good thing for you. If he remembers you, he’ll still have some feelings for you and won’t be so extreme in his actions, at the very least.
However, if he’s forgotten all about you and his feelings toward you, I’m afraid…”
Aurora did not finish her sentence, but Vicky knew she was implying that Tyler would show her no mercy.
She whispered, “It seems like I was too simple-minded.”
