At 10 a.m., Vicky walked Harvey-who was fully covered by sunglasses, a face mask, and a hat-out of the building. The carthat came for Harvey had long been waiting downstairs.
Harvey stopped and said, “Vicky, this is goodbye.”
She studied him with a conflicted look on her face. “I’m sorry…for all the trouble I’ve caused you.”
“I told you that you never need to thank me.”
“If you need help, call me anytime,” she added.

“I just wanted to see how far you’d go for him.”
A lump formed in her throat, and she fell into silence helplessly.
Tyler sneered coldly. “You drugged me with relaxants, relayed information to Harvey, stole Hart Corporation’s trade secrets, and even resorted to deceiving me with sweet promises, only so that I’d lower my guard… Vicky, you truly are capable of doing anything if it’s for Harvey.”
Vicky wanted to explain herself but found herself rendered speechless in the face of his cold expression.
Harvey stepped in front of Vicky, shielding her from Tyler’s piercing gaze. “I forced Vicky into this; she’s not responsible, w
With his line of sight blocked, Tyler’s eyes landed on Harvey. “You forced Vicky?” he questioned, amused. “How did you force her, I wonder?”
