Chapter 186

The voice on the phone was heard by everyone inside the room, and silence fell as they all turned to

look at Vicky oddly.

“Miss Shaw, I know that you want to find yourself an excuse, but…you shouldn’t have made up such a

horrible excuse,” sneered Maggie. “You might as well have said that you were lost or something.”

Adam sneered. “You saw others getting kidnapped and felt the need to act like you were kidnapped as

well to get attention. What a drama queen.”

Harry was a more composed man compared to Harry, but though he did not speak, he was also looking

at Vicky with disbelief and doubt.

Sheila, on the other hand, said gently, “Regardless, it’s a good thing that Miss Shaw came back safely.

By the way…” She turned to look at Tyler.” Tyler, why don’t we call the doctor to check on Miss Shaw? I

ran into Miss Shaw and her friend yesterday when you were in the surgery room. I’m guessing that

she’s probably here to treat her injuries, right?”

Vicky did not respond.

Tyler narrowed his eyes darkly and shot Harry a look. “Get a doctor to check on her.”

“Yes.” Harry walked over to Vicky. “This way, Missus Hart.”

Vicky stood still for a few moments before leaving.

By the time the doctor was done checking her over, she returned to the room where Tyler waited alone.

After handing the medical report to Tyler, Harry left as well.

There was not a scratch on Vicky’s body, and this put her at a disadvantage.

The kidnap ended too quickly, and the round trip itself would have taken an hour.

On top of that, the taxi had been destroyed and the driver was nowhere to be found. Since Vicky was

perfectly fine, it did not look as though she had been kidnapped.

Tyler leaned back onto his bed and watched while Vicky walked over to him. “The doctor said that you

didn’t get to rest last night. You should get some sleep.”

He had not mentioned a single word about the kidnapping, and she chuckled bitterly as she studied the

pale look on his face. “You don’t believe me, do you?”

The look in his eyes darkened. “I’ll have them continue to look into this.”

“And if they find nothing?”

“I’ll arrange a bodyguard for you.”

“You think that I’m lying as well, right?”

“Vicky, this doesn’t contradict what I would do.” He stared into her eyes. Whether or not Vicky was

lying, he chose to investigate while assigning people to protect her.

“I know that.” She stared back. “I just want to know if you believe me.”

“What’s the point of discussing this?”

She smiled. “Does it matter if there’s a point to it?”

“If there isn’t a point, why would you insist on getting an answer?”

“I think I’ve gotten my answer now,” she said before standing and walking over to the door.

He scowled and asked, “Where are you going?”

She did not turn around and simply said, “I’m going home to bring over some living necessities.”

“Get Nanny Paterson to do it.”
