Vicky caught onto the sarcasm in the man’s tone but did not know how to explain herself.
The man scanned her and asked, “If you want to leave him, why would you want me to reach out to him on your behalf? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose?”
“I don’t know who else to seek help from,” she said bitterly.
The thought of seeking help from Sebastian once crossed her mind, but her kidnappers, Jane and Lydia, mentioned that no one could walk out of Forever Night once they got in.
Even if Sebastian found out about her whereabouts, he might not be capable of saving her. Since there was only one chance for her to seek help, she had to entrust it to the one person who had the biggest chance of rescuing her.
The man comprehended what she meant and sneered, “You make the best when you need him, and cast him aside when you don’t. Women really are cruel creatures.”
Vicky scowled and thought to herself, ‘Has he been hurt by a woman before? He sounds like he hates women or something.’
She was not foolish enough to voice her question out loud and said instead, “Sir, no matter what, I still haven’t divorced Tyler, and I’m still his legal wife. If you get word to him, he won’t leave me here.”
Vicky was unsure when she said those words, but she was hopeful considering how possessive Tyler was.
The man looked at her. “According to what you said, you escaped to divorce him. If we alert Tyler Hart, you won’t be able to get away from him so easily the next time around.”
Vicky remained quiet for a moment and said bitterly, “It’s still better than…being stuck here.”
“Why doing something you would come to regret to begin with, then?” the man mocked.
Vicky never anticipated this to happen when all she did was travel out of the country. Had she known she would find herself in this situation, she would rather be stuck in a loveless marriage.
She stared at the man and asked, “Sir, will you help me?”
The man did not respond.
Vicky continued to look at him hopefully and panted nervously.
Sometime later, the man drawled, “I can help you.”
She beamed. “Thank you, Sir…”
The man interrupted her and said, “But why should I help you?”
She froze and muttered dazedly, “You can negotiate with Tyler to get whatever you want…”
“Miss Shaw, you are a smart woman who’s good with your words, but don’t you think you’re being naive?”
“Sir, are…are you going back on your word?”
“I don’t recall promising you anything,” he said mercilessly.
Vicky’s breath caught in her throat.
The man studied her, and his mask shimmered in the most terrifying manner under the light as he spoke, “You should know why I’m wearing a mask and a voice changer here. If I approach Tyler to
negotiate with him, I’d be exposing my identity, and he’ll be able to make use of that.”
Vicky had not considered that.
People who participated in the auction were far more superior in terms of influence, power, and wealth compared to others, and the more powerful they were, the less they wanted to be recognized.
The business world was a cruel one, and even the smallest detail of one’s private life might be the determining factor to one’s defeat or victory.
“Besides, Tyler Hart and I… Well, there are some personal scores to be settled,” the man added.
