Chapter 1128
As he finally controlled his anger after a while, Tyler said in a deep voice, âThe Hart family is more
devious than you think. Staying here any longer will only put your life in danger. Do you understand?â
Vicky scoffed. âAnd whoâs to blame for that?â
She would not have ended up in the Hart familyâs place if Tyler did not hurt Lincoln. It was he who did
not think of the consequences. It was not like they would do anything to Tyler since he was related to
them by blood. She, however, was an outsider. If it were not for Old Mister Hart, whose position had not
been determined, Tyler would have taken Vicky away a long time ago.
Tyler fell silent as he did not know how to answer her, but after a while, he said, âThe Yeagars would
never call off the marriage, so youâll only make an enemy out of them if youâre too close with Lincoln.â
âItâs simple, thenâIâll just have to stay away from Lincoln,â replied Vicky indifferently. In other words,
she had no intention to leave with Tyler, and this made his temper flare up again.
âAnd about what happened this time.â Tylerâs voice turned cold. âIn a sane personâs eyes, it looked like
you pushed my mother into the water out of self-defense, but you should know my family has never
been the one to be reasonable. If word get out about what you did, do you think my family will
help you over Missus Hart?â
âSo you want me to apologize to her? Fine, Iâll do it,â replied Vicky lightly.
âJust how badly do you want to stay here?â growled Tyler.
Vicky chuckled wryly. âItâs not that I want to stay likeâ¦the only way I can get away from you is to stay
here.â
âGet away from me?â At that point, Tyler was in full-blown rage mode. âDo you want to get away from
me that much?â
âYes. Very much so.â Vicky, too, could not keep her temper in anymore. She became as furious as Tyler
was. âI wanted to do so many years ago. You should know that.â
She would not have brought up the past if it were not for Valencia making her life difficult and Tyler
forcing himself onto her today. She was too young and naive then. In other words, she was no match
for Valencia, who was used to pulling underhanded tricks to survive in a family like the Harts. Being so
experienced, Valencia only needed to say a few words to make Vicky see how futile it would be for her
to stay with Tyler.
Vicky could have chosen to stay with Tyler even if she was forced to break up with him, but she did not,
and she had come to regret that decision, especially after knowing how much she had hurt him and
what the Hart family did to him after that. However, while it was true it was her fault for breaking up with
Tyler in the pastâ¦all the guilt she felt for him gradually dissipated each time he took revenge on her.
âI hate how he wonât take no for an answer. Maybe my breaking up with him in the past was all part of
his plan to buy himself some time to gain a foothold in the Hart family and make me put down my
guard. Maybeâ¦he never thought of letting me go in the first place,â thought Vicky.
So many years of deliberation were enough to show Vicky how terrifying Tyler was, and she became
rightfully afraid of him. She had no will to endure his revenge anymore.
She thought Tyler would erupt in anger when she brought up the past, but for some reason, he actually
calmed down.
His powerful arms subconsciously tightened around her. âIt wasnât your fault,â he said in a tone that
seemed to be trying to convince himself more than her. âYou wouldnât have broken up with me if they
didnât force you to do that.â
Vicky felt her breath catch in her throat. âYou knew all about it already?â
âYes,â said Tyler after a moment of silence.
