Chapter 222
Vicky blinked and started panting.
Tyler lifted her chin and gazed sharply at her face. âDo you feel sorry for yourself because I didnât help
you back there?â
Although it was a question, his tone sounded rather matter-of-factly.
Vicky unconsciously tightened her fist.
Before she could say anything, however, Tyler continued, âDo you get it now? If youâre not my wife,
youâll have to bear through sh*t and be responsible every time youâre in trouble,â Tyler said.
The moonlight shone on his angular shape like his face was covered by a thin layer of fog where no
one could see clearly. He was so close, yet Vicky felt like he was so distant, 1
Suddenly, she felt like she did not know this man with whom she had spent days and nights.
She looked into his eyes. âAre you telling me I canât do anything without you?â
âMaybe you can achieve something without me, but things wonât possibly go your way every time.â
Tylerâs eyes were so rational that she felt he was a cool person.
âYou should know working hard doesnât guarantee success in everything⦠unless you prefer to be
normal and never want improvement.â
Even if Tyler did not say it out, Vicky understood the theory as well.
After she returned to work, she experienced many situations that were unfair to her.
Tyler was right. Working hard did not necessarily mean one would get the same amount of return.
Two examples were when Cece was bullied by Hector and got sent to jail for self-defense, and when
she herself was bitten by the dog and had to apologize to the dog instead.
When faced with real power, it was not easy for a commoner to seek justice.
Vicky looked at Tyler for a long time and finally smiled. âSo are you saying this so Iâd continue to be
your wife and help you maintain that good husband image of yours, all while watching you be with your
lover?â
Tyler did not like her attitude. He frowned. âSheila and I-â
Vicky interrupted, âYour relationship with Sheila isnât what I imagined.
Thereâs nothing between you both, and you didnât cheat on me. Youâre just feeling guilty and are
compensating her because she was hurt by your enemy. Itâs normal for you to go visit her in the
hospital every day, and it is definitely reasonable for you to go rescue her because your enemy
kidnapped her.â
Vicky smiled coldly. âIt is understandable, too, for you to spend millions on investing in a movie just to
make her smile.â
It was impossible to ignore the irony in what Vicky said.
He looked at her with an ambiguous smile. âYouâre jealous?â
The expression on Vickyâs face froze as she said coldly, âNo.â
He got closer to her and placed his lip beside her ears, whispering like they were a loving couple, âIf
you know you can get so many advantages just by being with meâ¦shouldnât you, Missus Hart, try your
best to please me and keep me by your side?â
The familiar scent entered her nostrils, and for a moment there, she zoned out.
His thin lips were close to grazing her earlobe. His deep, smoky voice was somewhat enchanting.
âMissus Hart, Iâm not very pleased with your recent performance.â
She tilted her head to avoid his lips, and her gaze looked even more unforgiving than ever. âWell, I see
Miss Youngâs performance has certainly pleased you more.â
Tylerâs ocean-blue eyes looked down at her from a condescending angle like he was judging
something.
After a while, he said, âSheâs certainly smarter than you.â
âThen Iâm afraid Iâm going to disappoint you.â Vicky smacked his hand away and said, âTyler Hart, I
want a divorce.â
In the end, their conversation ended in an unhappy moment.
