Tyler raised an eyebrow. “Followed you?”
Vicky tried to calm herself and, with as much self-control as possible, spoke, “Tyler, you found and brought me back when I left Zendonia. It’s not going to be easy for me to run away now that I’m here. Can you please give me some personal space?”
Tyler’s face was expressionless. “You were able to escape because I gave you too much ‘personal space’. Do you think I’d make the same mistake twice?”
Vicky sneered inwardly. ‘I was able to escape, he said? He let me escape and planned everything that happened next. He even found a person to take the blame. It’s funny that he can stand there and be calm to say that I was able to escape. How hilarious!’ she mused to herself sarcastically.
Vicky did not want to argue with him, so she suppressed her anger. ’ Sebastian and I are just friends… I heard he is in the hospital, so I thought of visiting him.”
She took a deep breath. “I misunderstood him, and now, his family is having a hard time because of me…”
She paused before continuing, “Tyler, can you please let him and his family go this time?”
Tyler’s face was indifferent. “I already let them go once.”
“If you’re willing to let them go, Sebastian will never come back to Zendonia after he recovers. The Mills family will also leave this place within a year and never come back,” Vicky added.
Tyler’s thin lips parted as he answered, “No.”
“They didn’t commit any serious crime. There’s no need to be so harsh,” Vicky tried to persuade.
“Being kind to your enemy is cruel to yourself.” Tyler looked at her.” Besides, he tried to challenge me many times. It’s a serious crime to me. I’m kind enough to let him breathe.”
“What does it take to have you let them go?’ Vicky asked.
“I don’t know either.” Tyler glanced at her and said nonchalantly, “Why don’t …you think of a way for me?”
It was that type of tone again! If Vicky believed in him, it would probably end up like what happened in her dream last night. She lowered her head and said nothing.
Tyler did not care. He went upstairs to change his clothes before coming down for dinner. His face was so alluring, and his movement looked regally elegant.
The moment she thought of the things he did, Vicky’s body shivered in coldness.
A week later.
Vicky rubbed her aching glabella when her phone continued to vibrate. In the end, she answered the call.
“Vicky, have you talked to Tyler? He didn’t stop the acquisition of our share and even met up with our business partners and shareholders!” Missus Mills sounded very agitated. ’He’s trying to destroy us!”
She would call Vicky every day—sometimes, more than 10 times a day.
Vicky was watching the news on the television, and her face looked exhausted.
“According to the latest news, the share price of Mills Group hit rock bottom again today. In just a week’s time, its market value has decreased by more than one billion and five hundred dollars…”
For the whole week, Vicky tried various methods yet still failed to make Tyler change his mind. There was no other way she could think of when nothing worked on him.
“Missus Mills…” Her voice sounded terrible. “What’s the situation with Mills Group?”
Missus Mills sounded like she was crying. “If this continues next week, Mills Group.Js going to declare bankruptcy!’
Vicky gripped her phone tightly.
Tyler was a madman. Any man who tried to be close to her or help her ended up in a terrible position. It was like he was trying to cut off her wings.
Vicky wanted to apologize, but it meant nothing at all when she could not do anything to help Mills Group.
