Chapter 187
âTil get them myself. I donât like others touching my things.â
âWait.â Tyler grabbed his phone from the nightstand. âIâll have my bodyguards send you.â
Vickyâs hand on the doorknob stilled as she said, âItâs fine. I can go home on my own. After all, Iâm just
acting like I was kidnapped, and it wasnât even true. Why should I be afraid at all?â
There was one person who could prove that she was indeed kidnapped, and that was Mister Kirby.
However, there was no point in mentioning him. Since they were determined she was acting, it would
also make sense that she had bribed a few âwitnessesâ into supporting her claim.
âI told you that Iâll keep looking into it,â he said emotionlessly. âAre you not going to be satisfied until I
say that I believe you out loud?â
She turned around to meet his eyes before shaking her head. âWhatâs the point of saying it when you
donât mean it?â
âWhy are you upset, then?â
âIâm not upset.â
He scanned her. âYou basically have the word âupsetâ written all over you.â
Her hand tightened around the doorknob. âMaybeâ¦itâs just that frustrating to watch my own husband
risk his life for another woman,â she said calmly.
He frowned and explained, âIâve told you this many times. I wonât marry her and I only went to save her
becau-â
âI know,â interrupted Vicky. âMiss Young also said that youâre just friends.â
He continued to stare at her with a scowl as she opened the door.
âRest. Iâll go home to gather my things,â she said.
Once she stepped out of the room, she felt much more at ease, but the scent of sanitizer around her
still filled her with disgust. It was the scent on Tylerâs body every time he went home after visiting
Sheila.
She stood and waited for the elevator.
Ding! The elevator door opened, and Adam stepped out.
She glanced at him and was about to step into the elevator when Adam said, âYou donât look so
pleased, Miss Shaw. Are you upset that Mister Hart wonât believe you?â
Adam was the complete opposite of Harry.
Harry was great at hiding his own emotions no matter how displeased he was, but Adam could barely
control himself.
The elevator door closed automatically since no one had entered.
Vicky did not want to talk to him and simply pressed the elevator button again.
As the door opened, Adam continued, âYou must feel really sad that your husband doesnât believe you,
Miss Shaw. When you lie one too many times, people will think that youâre lying even when youâre
telling the truth.
âVicky Shaw, you donât get to be upset about this. You deserve this because you are the one who
caused this. This is just karma.â
Adam seemed to know a lot about the past and was appalled by Vicky to the point that he could not
contain himself even in front of Tyler.
He shot her one final look of contempt before storming off.
After gathering her belongings, Vicky took a shower and changed her clothes.
By the time she was done, the sky was beginning to turn dark, so she packed dinner and brought it with
her to the hospital.
She was about to head out after putting the food into a thermal box when her phone rang.
