“I heard that you were arrested for injuring someone a while ago,” Anthony said casually.
Jennifer’s expression darkened. “So what if I did.”
“You should know that Tyler was the one who fabricated this whole thing right? He might even hold you hostage against Vicky, shouldn’t you have known that by now?”
Jennifer pursed her lips and Cece felt guilty as well.
“Do you know why Vicky was captured, while the two of you get to roam freely?” Anthony continued.
Jennifer scowled and stared at him intently. “What are you trying to imply?”
A faint smile appeared on his face. “Jennifer, Vicky doesn’t have that many friends, and the two of you are the only ones close enough to make her do things against her will.” He turned to look at Cece. “You mentioned that Vicky wasn’t as close with you before she lost her memories, right?”
Cece nodded. “Yes, but what does that have to do with anything?”
“It means that she was well aware that whoever gets too close to her will get smacked into the storm she is in. After being married to Tyler for so many years, Vicky grew to understand his character best. She knows that once she has a conflict with Tyler, the people she cares about will become his tools against her. Nnow, because of your relationship with her, she’s at his mercy. As long as Tyler uses you to threaten her, she will have no means to resist his request because hurting you is more effective than hurting Vicky herself. Do you understand?”
Both Jennifer and Cece turned pale. “So, what you mean is… That we’re being burdens to Vicky?”
Anthony nodded. “I’ve already arranged a plane to leave Zendonia. Tyler’s actions will escalate in the near future. If you don’t want to be a hindrance to Vicky, you need to leave as soon as possible.”
Cece could not help but ask, “Wait. If we leave, what will happen to Vicky?”
“Vicky won’t have a chance to turn the situation around until you leave. If you don’t, she will forever be at the mercy of Tyler.” Anthony glanced at Jennifer and spoke in a slower voice. “Jennifer, this is Zendonia. My people won’t be able to hold off Tyler for long. If you don’t leave here today, then… the past will repeat itself.”
Jennifer understood what he meant. “You mean, all this time… you were secretly protecting us?”
“Yes,” Anthony said. “I could only do it because Tyler’s attention wasn’t on you, but if he can’t find a way to break Vicky, he will certainly target you.” Anthony looked around and lowered his voice. “Not long ago, I saw Vicky and she asked me to help you leave as soon as possible.”
Both Jennifer and Cece were stunned, finding it hard to believe.
“You saw her?” Cece asked.
“Yes, I recorded a video of her. You can watch it in the car later.”
When it came to matters of relationships, Anthony may have been unreliable, but he would never lie about something this severe, so Jennifer nodded. “Okay.”
On the way to the airport, Cece and Jennifer watched the video recorded by Anthony.
“Jennifer, Cece, by the time you see this video, you should already be on your way to the airport, right? I’m really happy to have met you both. I’m not a qualified boss, nor a worthy friend. I can’t protect you, and I keep involving you in unnecessary dangers. So, during this time, I would like to kindly request for
you to temporarily leave Zendonia. Once I resolve the troubles in Zendonia, I will come to you as soon as I can. Don’t worry about me. I’ll take care of myself, and you must take care of yourselves too.”
