Seemingly aware that he was supposed to be suffering from amnesia, Tyler’s answer remained vague.
Vicky recalled what Isabella said to her and did not want to expose his lies, but the thought of all the women he associated himself with in the past enraged her.
“Are you that childish, Tyler? Did you surround yourself with those flies just to annoy me?”
Not wanting to risk saying something that could irk her more, Tyler remained silent.
Feeling increasingly irritated, she snapped, “Go and try on your clothes.”
Tyler lowered his gaze and observed her for a moment.
He wanted Vicky to accompany him to the fitting room, but judging her expression, she surely never good at explaining himself, so he simply took the clothes and went into the fitting room.
Recalling the grievances she had suffered from his previous1 flings’ in the past, Vicky felt infuriated.
To calm herself, she paced back and forth outside the fitting room.
Although she did not want to see Tyler’s face, she worried he would be anxious if he could not locate her. Thus, she had no choice but to wait.
“Vicky.” A voice came from behind.
Vicky turned around. Her expression grew even colder when she realized it was Avery.
“Is there something else, Miss Yeager?” said Vicky stiffly.
Avery approached her, her earlier pitiful demeanor replaced by arrogance. “Vicky, I advise you to leave Tyler. Apart from holding him back like you did years ago, you have nothing to offer him.”
“That’s funny, Miss Yeager,” remarked Vicky. “That’s the same thing I heard from Missus Valencia Hart years ago.”
Avery crossed her arms defiantly. “I admit that Tyler would give up everything and do anything for you. But what about you? What can you do for him? What can you bring to him?”
“These are matters between Tyler and me, and they don’t concern you,” Vicky replied calmly.
Avery smiled slyly. “Vicky, you might not know this, but the last time you were kidnapped by Lincoln, Tyler exposed a lot of his resources to save you. Lincoln took the opportunity of Tyler being seriously injured and hospitalized and cleared out many of his forces. I heard he was even shot because of you.” Avery tilted her head to look at Vicky. “See? You can only bring him trouble. Tyler needs someone who can help him establish a foothold in the Hart family, and you can’t help him. Leaving him would be the best thing for both of you.”
Vicky was no longer the easily persuaded girl she was five years ago and responded calmly, “Whether I can help him or not isn’t for you to decide. Even if I can’t help him directly, what I can offer him is irreplaceable. If you want to persuade me to leave him, I suggest you give up.”
Avery’s voice turned sharp. “Vicky, you’ll only harm him! There’s no future for you two! The Hart family will never acknowledge y—”
“Whether the Hart family acknowledges me or not is none of my concern,” interjected Vicky. “I’m with Tyler, not the Hart family. Why should I care about that? I know you want to say that I can’t help Tyler’s career, but so what? Firstly, Tyler doesn’t need my help. Secondly, even if he ends up with nothing in the end, it won’t matter.
“I’ve never tried being the breadwinner before… It seems nice to picture him doing housework and caring for our children at home. He dislikes socializing and would make a great stay-at-home husband.”
