Tyler returned to his usual, composed self. “Who knows if you’re teaming up with someone else to lie to me?” “Lie to you?” Vicky repeated in confusion. ’For what?”
“You said you lost your bag, arrived late, and even found yourself a witness. What do you think?”
Realization dawned on her, and she widened her eyes in disbelief. “Are you trying to say that I’m delaying the process of the divorce on purpose?”
“Is that not the case?”
“Of course not!”
He stared down at her and chuckled. “Heh.”
Her breath caught in her throat. “You don’t believe me?”
“I can believe you.” Before Vicky could respond, he added, “If we can proceed with the legal procedures today.”
“I lost my bag. My passport and the divorce agreement are all gone…”
He stared down at her mockingly. “So we can’t file for divorce today, is that right?”
In his intimidating presence, the tone of her voice weakened. “I didn’t mean for this to happen. I didn’t expect…”
He interrupted her. “Vicky, you did all these on purpose, didn’t you?”
“Me? On purpose?” She looked at him in confusion.
He narrowed his eyes darkly. “I get it.”
“What?”
“You pretended like you were in a hurry yesterday, but you weren’t even here, were you?”
She froze. “I was waiting for you right here the entire day…’
He ignored her and said, “You kept calling me to make sure if I’m coming and when I’d be coming to plan your move.”
“No, I-“
“When I didn’t answer my phone, you called until my phone ran out of battery so that I wouldn’t be able to reach you. That way, even if I got here, you can say that you left for a moment, and I won’t be able to do a thing since you can’t be reached anyway. Is that it?”
“I didn’t-“
He interrupted her once again and shot her a half-smile. “You knew that I’d be coming today, so you hired someone to make it look like you were robbed. Concerned that I wouldn’t believe you, you set it up so that your ex boyfriend will stand witness for you.”
Vicky choked on her words. She had indeed thought of getting Noah to stand witness for her, but every single move she made sounded like a well- planned plot in Tyler’s words, and she could no longer ask for Noah’s help.
“I’ve contacted the police, and there’s a record of that with them. If you don’t believe Noah, you should at least believe the police, right?”
He stared at her intently in silence for a long while after that.
Feeling anxious, she wanted to argue once again when he finally spoke up,” Hand me the surveillance footage on the street, and I’ll confront the thief for you.’
She opened her mouth to speak and hesitated. In the end, she gritted her teeth and said, “The surveillance camera on that road is broken, so…there’s no footage…”
“No footage?”
“Yeah…” her voice grew weaker.
His lips curled into a sarcastic smile. “What a coincidence.”
